On parle d'infertilité primaire lorsqu'aucune grossesse ne s'est encore déclarée dans le couple, d'infertilité secondaire dans le cas contraire, même si aucune grossesse n'est allée à terme; lorsque l'un des conjoints a déjà eu une descendance avec un autre partenaire, il s'agit néanmoins d'une infertilité primaire du couple, dont l'un des partenaires est donc (ou a été) fécond.

CONT

The hydraulic needle effect is an important factor to consider when employing OC [oleoresin capsicum]. This is the consequence of the OC particulates penetrating the soft tissue of the eye. This is due to the correlation between the distance and the amount of pressure(size of the canister) in which it is delivered. Concerns have been raised about the possibility of soft tissue injury, prolonged irritation or possibly infection. Because of the possibility of the hydraulic needle effect, minimum safe distances have been established for each delivery system.

CONT

L'effet d'aiguille hydraulique survient lorsque des particules solides, se déplaçant à une vitesse rapide, pénètrent plusieurs couches des tissus mous de l'œil. L'utilisation de pulvérisateurs manuels à l'OC [oléorésine de Capsicum], [...] qui émettent un jet liquide sous pression, peut causer des dommages à ces tissus ou une infection oculaire. Pour réduire les risques d'effet d'aiguille hydraulique, le fabricant a établi des distances minimales sécuritaires recommandées pour tous les pulvérisateurs à main.

Record 6 2002-02-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Inks and Colour Reproduction (Graphic Arts)
DEF

Defective dry trapping due to factors such as the first-down ink being dried too hard; the second down ink film lies irregularly and incompletely over the first down ink film when viewed under a magnifying glass.

OBS

The "crystallization" term is misleading as it has nothing to do with the formation of crystals in the ink. There is a surface tension factor; in severely defective dry trapping, overlapping ink may crawl and break up into tiny beads after delivery from the press.
