English

Subject field(s)
  • Telecommunications
  • Internet and Telematics
DEF

A standard encoding format for storing audio information in a digital format.

CONT

ADPCM reduces storage requirements by storing differences between successive digital samples rather than full values. An extension of the PCM format.

OBS

adaptive differential pulse code modulation; ADPCM: term, abbreviation and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télécommunications
  • Internet et télématique
CONT

Le codage de base pour le son numérique est PCM («Pulse Code Modulation»), que l'on traduit assez rarement par MIC (Modulation par Impulsions Codées). Ce codage est une simple transformation des signaux analogiques en signaux numériques. Le codage ADPCM («Adaptative Differential PCM») diminue encore la taille des signaux sonores en utilisant les techniques d'extrapolation pour prévoir les variations d'amplitude. Ce type de codage est celui utilisé par le CD-I avec trois niveaux de qualité (A,B,C). Le niveau le plus bas (C) représente un débit de 76 kbits/seconde à comparer aux 705 kbits/seconde pour le codage PCM des disques compacts.

  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
CONT

Jobe's Test. The arm is held in the scapular plane, not directly in front or out to the side, but at a comfortable angle, as if pouring out a can of pop(about 30 degrees from full extension). If holding the pouring position is painful it is because the greater tuberosity is being driven up against the acromion, a positive Jobe's test for impingement. At the same time, since this is a position of strength, push down on the arm to test for any weakness.

Record 3 2015-06-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fencing
DEF

The basic attacking move toward an opponent consisting in a full extension of the arm followed by a wide step forward of the foot on the same side as the sword arm(front foot) while keeping the other foot(rear foot) in place.

CONT

The lunge is a sudden attack on an opponent. The back leg is used for power. First, you swiftly extend your sword arm so that your foil is thrust straight at the target. In the next split second, you lift your front leg forward.

OBS

The lunge is an aggressive action designed to enable the fencer to reach the opponent from a distance greater than that afforded by extension of the weapon arm.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Escrime
DEF

Action consistant en une détente de la jambe arrière combinée avec une projection de la jambe avant.

CONT

La fente est une attaque soudaine. Toute la force vient de la jambe arrière. L'escrimeur déploie d'abord rapidement le bras armé, de façon à diriger son arme droit vers la cible. Immédiatement après, il projette son pied avant.

OBS

Plusieurs sources considèrent «fente» et «développement» synonymes bien qu'en absolu, la «fente» se limite à la projection de la jambe du côté du bras armé vers l'avant avec détente de la jambe arrière, l'extension du bras armé vers l'avant étant le «déploiement» ou «allongement du bras», et le «développement», le combiné des deux soient le déploiement du bras suivi de la fente.

sidewalk extension. The continuation, in full or in part, of the sidewalk across a street intersection either at its original elevation(raised sidewalk extension) or lowered to the level of the roadway(unraised sidewalk extension).

OBS

Wakefield already has a number of traffic calming devices such as the sidewalk extension at the intersection of Chesnut and Main in the Square... the sidewalk is extended a short distance into the roadway [providing] several benefits to pedestrians. First, it shortens the crossing distance, especially important to slower walkers such as the elderly and folks with children in tow. Next, it gives pedestrians a safe place to see around parked cars to view traffic. Finally, the extension sharpens the turning radius, causing vehicles to slow down when turning the corner.

Bounce home test. This test evaluates the screw home component and the locking of the knee.

Épreuve du «rebond». Cette épreuve est pratiquée pour apprécier un défaut d'hyperextension, le plus souvent secondaire à une lésion méniscale, à un corps étranger intra-articulaire ou à un oedème intra-capsulaire. Le patient étant en décubitus dorsal sur la table, empaumez son talon et mettez son genou en flexion complète. Puis, laissez passivement son genou aller en extension. Le genou doit se mettre en extension totale, avec un rebond ultime précis. Si le genou n'arrive pas à cette position ultime offrant une résistance molle, il existe probablement une lésion méniscale ou un autre blocage [...] et le rebond ne peut se produire.

Lachman test(drawer test with almost full extension) : The examiner grasps the distal thigh with one hand and the proximal lower leg with the other and pulls and pushes the lower leg forwards and backwards in relation to the thigh. Since, in this position of almost full extension, the patient is unable to prevent the drawer movement with his hamstrings, the test is particularly suitable for investigating a recently traumatized joint.

A hip flexion deformity commonly occurs in diseases of the hip but is often overlooked. Unilateral flexion of the hip in the standing position reduces weight bearing on the involved side, and relaxes the joint capsule, causing less pain.... There is a hyperlordotic curve of the lumbar spine to compensate for lack of full hip extension.

Stand with feet slightly wider than hip width apart and toes pointing out slightly. Squat down and grasp bar with a closed, pronated grip.... First pull phase : lift bar from floor by forcefully extending hips and knees.... Keep elbows fully extended(straight), head in a neutral position and shoulders over the bar. As bar raises, keep it as close to shins as possible. Transition(scoop) phase : as bar passes knees, thrust hips forward and slightly re-flex knees to avoid locking them.... Second pull phase : Forcefully and quickly extend hips and knees and plantar-flex ankles(stand on toes). Keep bar as close to body as possible.... Keep shoulders over bar and elbows extended(arms straight) as long as possible. When lower body joints reach full extension, rapidly shrug the shoulders upward, but do not let elbows flex yet. As shoulders reach their highest elevation, flex elbows to begin pulling body under bar. Continue to pull arms as high and as long as possible.... feet may lose contact with floor. Catch phase : after lower body has fully extended and bar reaches near maximal height, pull body under bar and rotate arms around and under bar. Simultaneously, hips and knees flex into a quarter squat position. Once arms are under bar, lift elbows to position the upper arms parallel to floor. Rack the bar across front of clavicles(collar bones) and anterior deltoids(front shoulder muscles).... Stand up by extending hips and knees to a fully erect position. Downward movement phase : lower bar by gradually reducing muscular tension of arms to allow a controlled descent of the bar to the thighs.... Squat down with the elbows fully extended until the bar touches the floor.

Subject field(s)

DEF

An elementary and unschooled way of propelling oneself in the water : imperfect prone position, head out of the water facing straight ahead, arms alternately and nervously moving forward and backward under the water, away from the body and without a complete extension forward nor a full traction and pull along the body backward, legs beating in a bending-and-unbending motion of the knees rather than in an effective beat of the extended legs on the surface of the water.

OBS

The unschooled way a human propels himself through the water. Children’s paddling is often more chaotic, with the arms alternately clawing at the water to move forward; breathing is irregular, legs thrashing and inconsistent. A more mature dog paddle can be rhythmic and steady, but the arms never go out of the water and the head is never submerged. Thus the stroke closely resembles a dog moving through the water.

Runaway replication plasmids are a logical extension of the amplification system. When the temperature is increased, the normal system which controls how much plasmid DNA is present is destroyed and the bacterium continues to make plasmid DNA until it runs out of precursors to make it from.
