FULLY ENGINEERED [7 records]

Record 1 2022-11-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biotechnology
OBS

Competition causes selection against relatively weaker cells, where a cell' s fitness determines its competition potential. These "loser" cells are eliminated when in co-culture with stronger "winner" cells but are fully viable when grown separately. Indeed, Darwin's theory of the "survival of the fittest" applies at the cellular level. [The lab] seeks to uncover(reverse engineer) and program(forward engineer) the genetic rules of cell fitness in order to answer fundamental biological questions about stem cells and give rise to a novel class of engineered cell therapies for regenerative medicine applications.

English

Subject field(s)
  • CBRNE Weapons
  • Radiological Physics (Theory and Application)
DEF

A fully engineered assembly designed for employment by the armed forces of a state to cause the release of a chemical or biological agent or radiological material onto a chosen target, or to generate a nuclear detonation.

OBS

chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapon; CBRN weapon: term, shortened form and definition officially approved by the Joint Terminology Panel and the Defence Terminology Standardization Board.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Armes CBRNE
  • Physique radiologique et applications
DEF

Dispositif fabriqué industriellement dans le but d’être utilisé par les forces armées d’un État pour libérer un agent chimique ou biologique, ou une matière radiologique sur un objectif particulier, ou pour causer une explosion nucléaire.

OBS

Record 3 2004-04-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Botany
  • Plant Breeding
  • Biotechnology
CONT

Calgene Fresh... has completed what it believes to be the final data on the FLAVR SAVR(TM) tomato-the new genetically engineered tomato which does not soften as rapidly as other tomatoes, enabling it to be left on the vine until its natural flavor fully develops...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Botanique
  • Amélioration végétale
  • Biotechnologie
OBS

La tomate McGregor possède dans son patrimoine génétique un gène supplémentaire qui ralentit son pourrissement. Cette tomate peut être cueillie mûre sans poser de problèmes de conservation. Les tomates «normales», elles, sont récoltées vertes puis mûries artificiellement (par un traitement à l'éthylène) afin d'éviter qu'elles ne s'abîment durant leur transport.

Record 4 2001-10-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Soil Tests (Construction)
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
  • Soil Science
DEF

The collection of basic facts about, and the testing of, surface and subsurface materials (including their physical properties, distribution, and geologic structure) at a site, for the purpose of preparing suitable designs for an engineering structure or other use.

CONT

Site investigations. The objective of most geotechnical investigations is to obtain information on the site and subsurface conditions that is required for design and construction of engineered facilities and for evaluation and mitigation of geologic hazards, such as landslides, subsidence, and liquefaction. The site investigation is part of a fully integrated process that includes : 1. Synthesis of available data 2. Field and laboratory investigations 3. Characterization of site stratigraphy and soil properties 4. Engineering analyses 5. Formulation of design and construction criteria or engineering evaluations.

OBS

Site investigation: as per MABUI 1982 ("Illustrated Dictionary of Building", by Paul Marsh), may not always include a subsoil investigation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Essais du sol (Construction)
  • Mécanique des sols
  • Science du sol
DEF

Ensemble des investigations et essais, sur le site et au laboratoire, permettant l'obtention des données relatives aux propriétés physiques, mécaniques et hydrauliques du sol, nécessaires à l'étude d'un ouvrage.

CONT

La reconnaissance. Cette opération est faite en deux temps : la reconnaissance de la surface du terrain sur laquelle doit être édifiée la construction, et la reconnaissance du sol en profondeur.

Record 5 2000-08-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hoisting and Lifting
CONT

Lift-It has engineered a fully Articulating Jib Crane with 360 degree rotation at the mast and knuckle position. The jib allows the operator freedom and ease of movement in any direction. It is ideal for overcoming obstacles in limited work space conditions. There is no need to festoon hosing, since either vacuum or compressed air can be supplied at the jib arm through the fully sealed mast, jib arms and bearing system.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Levage
OBS

Potences. Ce sont les auxiliaires classiques du poste de travail. Le bras dont elles sont dotées peut être à rotation partielle (potence murale) ou à révolution totale (potences sur colonne à bras pivotant sur 360°). Ce bras peut être rigide ou articulé (potence à bras satellite).
