Subject field(s)
  • General Medicine, Hygiene and Health
CONT

Sensory overload occurs when one or more of the body's senses experiences over-stimulation from the environment. There are many environmental elements that affect an individual. Examples of these elements are urbanization, crowding, noise, mass media, technology, and the explosive growth of information.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Médecine générale, hygiène et santé
CONT

Il est possible que des personnes submergées par des stimulations sensorielles multiples deviennent désorientées. [...] Il faut réfléchir aux mesures atténuant le risque de surcharge sensorielle qui retarde la guérison du malade : parler à voix basse, tamiser les lumières.

Subject field(s)
  • Incubators and Hatcheries
  • Poultry Production
CONT

When a farmer buys baby chicks in early spring, it is cold outdoors. Since the chicks are only one day old and are born with the instinct of crowding under the mother hen's wings to keep warm, they look for a place to keep warm.... The brooder stove is a substitute for the brooder hen. By means of electricity or natural gas, it gives off heat and the chicks crowd under it for warmth.

OBS

CCN is a national non-profit advocacy group working to secure the sustainable future of the United States.

OBS

CCN is a group of activists working to promote and conserve what's right with America and to eliminate what's wrong with America.

Because of that, CCN focuses on stabilizing [the] population.

OBS

Carrying Capacity Network confronts the controversial issues, makes the difficult choices, and adopts the innovative approaches necessary to meet the challenges facing [the] nation. CCN’s action-oriented initiatives focus on achieving national revitalization, population stabilization, immigration reduction, economic sustainability, and resource conservation.

Subject field(s)
  • Mineral Processing (Metallurgy)
  • Processing of Mineral Products
CONT

Thus far conditions have been considered for coarse particles which require rising currents sufficiently strong to maintain a state of turbulence in the suspension, although this turbulence is damped down by the crowding and colliding of the solids present. When the particles are much smaller, turbulence is no longer needed for the maintenance of a reasonably open fluid condition, or "pulp".

French

English

Subject field(s)
  • Economic Geology
CONT

mineral sequence : The order of deposition during formation. A normal sequence is stated to be oxides followed by sulfides and ending with elements, such as gold. Ideal conditions necessary for normal deposition are those which are not subjected to crowding, telescoping, stretching, etc. during the deposition or rejuvenation of mineralizing solutions, effective changes of wall rock along the vein, or any of the similar changes common in ore deposition.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géologie économique
CONT

L'existence d'une «succession normale», dans la suite chronologique du dépôt des minéraux constituant un gisement métallifère quelconque des types ignés ou hydrothermaux profonds, indique que la genèse de ces gisements dépend de lois physico-chimiques très générales, mais non encore élucidées. [...] On peut admettre, en première approximation, qu'elle est en rapport avec la décroissance de la température des fluides minéralisateurs émanés de magmas éruptifs.

Record 7 2012-03-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Slaughterhouses
  • Meats and Meat Industries
DEF

A self-contained slaughter facility that can travel from site to site.

CONT

Mobile abattoirs, traveling from farm to farm, can be used to slaughter all types of farm animals, including cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, poultry, as well as game farm bison, elk, reindeer and deer.

CONT

An outstanding benefit of mobile abattoirs is that the animals are subjected to a minimum of stress as compared with conventional pre-slaughter handling that often includes stressful loading, transport, mixing and crowding, and handling by humans unfamiliar to them.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Abattoirs
  • Salaison, boucherie et charcuterie
CONT

Le mélange, le transport et la manipulation des animaux avant l’abattage constituent un stress majeur, altérant les qualités de leurs viandes. Ces procédures seraient fortement allégées en abattant les animaux sur la ferme à l’aide d’un abattoir mobile.

Subject field(s)
  • Urban Renewal
DEF

The demolition and removal of buildings from any slum area, usually under the provisions of the federally assisted urban renewal program.

DEF

The removal of a slum by demolishing it, altering it, or correcting the conditions causing it.

OBS

The word "clearance" should not mean slum destruction only; a slum can be cleared by rehabilitation, by providing better schools and social facilities, and by removing those conditions of life that bring hopelessness, helplessness, and haplessness to its residents.

OBS

The term [slum demolition] is often used interchangeably(though incorreclty) with "slum clearance. "Slum demolition, though legally and judicially authorized, can aggravate slum conditions by crowding the displaced slum dwellers into the residual slum inventory. Since crowding is one of the most harmful aspects of slum life, a slum surplus is often to be preferred to a slum shortage.

Key term(s)

C'est une loi du 14 décembre 1964 qui a fourni les moyens juridiques d'une suppression radicale des bidonvilles en permettant l'expropriation des terrains par simple arrêté préfectoral et la déduction de l'indemnité d'expropriation versée au propriétaire, de toutes les sommes qu'il aurait pu percevoir au cours des cinq années précédentes pour la location d'installations insalubres.

Subject field(s)
  • Plant Biology

  • Botany
DEF

Relationship in which an organism lives on the surface of a plant, which it uses as a support, without there being parasitism.

CONT

Biotic interactions include competition within and between species for space, light, nutrients or any other limiting resource. Interference competition for space takes place among algae and sessile animals, and different algae compete for light and nutrients. Epiphytism is a solution to crowding for the epiphyte but creates problems for the anchor species.

French

DEF

Relation dans laquelle un organisme vit à la surface d'un végétal qu'il utilise comme support ou point d'ancrage, sans qu'il y ait parasitisme.

Effet mis en évidence par les économistes monétaristes libéraux (R. G. Hawtrey, M. Freidman) selon lequel une dépense publique additionnelle financée par emprunt auprès des agents non bancaires élève les taux d'intérêt, ce qui a pour conséquence une baisse des dépenses privées de la part des souscripteurs à l'emprunt ou de ceux qui eussent empruntés les fonds à des taux plus faibles.
