Existen diversos tipos de glaucoma. Los dos tipos principales son el de ángulo abierto y el de ángulo cerrado. Se caracterizan por un aumento de la presión intraocular (PIO), es decir, la presión dentro del ojo. [...] El glaucoma de ángulo abierto, la forma más frecuente de glaucoma, representa al menos el 90 % de todos los casos de glaucoma: Es provocado por la obstrucción lenta de los canales de drenaje, lo cual produce un aumento de la presión ocular. Presenta un ángulo amplio y abierto entre el iris y la córnea. Se desarrolla lentamente y es una afección para toda la vida. Presenta síntomas y provoca daños que no se advierten. 1, record 4, Spanish, - glaucoma%20de%20%C3%A1ngulo%20abierto

Shake, Rattle & Roll Poster. Shake :... The International Space Station undergoes oscillations. If it is given a slight push, such as a bump from the Shuttle while undergoing a docking procedure, the ISS [International Space Station] vibrates with a to-and-fro shaking motion. Student Activity : Docking the Shuttle to an oscillating Space Station is a bit like trying to toss a ball into a swaying bucket from a distance. The trajectory of the ball must be perfect(the launch speed, angle and direction) and synchronized exactly with the motion of the oscillating bucket. Try it. Student Challenge : Clamp one end of a 30 cm steel ruler to the edge of a table so that it sticks straight out. Bend the free end of the ruler downward a few centimetres and release it. Observe what happens. Attach a heavy mass(approximately 200 grams), such as a large blob of putty or Plasticine, to the free end of the ruler. Again, depress the free end of the ruler a few centimetres and release it. Observe what happens. Try doubling the mass or changing the length of the free part of the ruler. Observe what happens to the motion of the ruler as the mass or length changes. Design an experiment to quantitatively measure the effect you have observed. Relate your findings to the oscillating behaviour of the International Space Station as it grows in mass and length. 1, record 7, English, - shake

Affiche «Rock'n'roll spatial». Vibrations : [...] La Station spatiale internationale oscille. Si elle subit une légère poussée, comme suite à un choc causé par la navette pendant les procédures d'amarrage, l'ISS vibre dans un mouvement de va-et-vient. Activité de l'élève : Amarrer la navette à une station spatiale oscillante est un peu comme essayer de lancer une balle dans un seau en mouvement. La trajectoire de la balle doit être parfaite (vitesse, angle et direction de lancement) et en synchronisme précis avec les mouvements du seau oscillant. Faites l'expérience. Défi : Fixez solidement une règle d'acier de 30 cm à l'extrémité d'une table de manière à ce qu'un bon bout de la règle dépasse de la table. Pliez l'extrémité de la règle vers le bas (quelques centimètres) et relâchez-la. Observez ce qui se passe. Fixez un poids (environ 200 grammes de mastic ou de pâte à modeler) au bout de l'extrémité libre de la règle. Une fois de plus, pliez le bout de la règle vers le bas et relâchez-la à nouveau. Observez ce qui se passe. Reprenez l'exercice en doublant le poids de la pâte ou en modifiant la longueur de la partie libre de la règle. Observez ce qui se passe au niveau du mouvement de la règle en fonction du changement de masse et de longueur. Élaborez une expérience qui permettra de mesurer quantitativement l'effet observé.

A free gyro that is not slaved to any Earth reference(as the vertical and directional gyros and the gyrocompass are) will tend to maintain a fixed direction in inertial space, that is, with respect to fixed stars. Then as the Earth rotates, the angle between the axis of such a gyro and an arbitrary line on the Earth will change, and to an Earth-fixed observer the gyro will appear to precess. 3, record 12, English, - slaved

Signal-to-noise ratio. ... For first detection of a CO2-induced climate change, the model signal is the mean change or anomaly in some climatic variable, usually surface air temperature, attributed by a numerical model to increased concentrations of carbon dioxide.

The film in this projection shows the radial head projected ventral, free of overlap by the coronoid process, which is also well demonstrated.
