FUNCTION REPRODUCTION [6 records]

Record 1 2026-01-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hormones
  • Biochemistry
CONT

Estrogen deficiency is a physiological and pathological condition characterized by a decrease in circulating estrogen levels, primarily estradiol(E2), the most potent form of estrogen. This hormonal imbalance plays a critical role in several biological processes including reproduction, bone metabolism, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function.

Key term(s)
  • oestrogen deficiency

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hormones
  • Biochimie
CONT

Ces troubles sont liés à une carence en œstrogènes. Un traitement hormonal de la ménopause (THM), permet de compenser cette carence via une administration d'œstrogènes par voie orale (œstradiol) ou par voie percutanée afin de compenser la carence.

Key term(s)
  • carence estrogénique
  • carence en œstrogène
  • carence en estrogènes
  • carence en estrogène

Record 3 2013-10-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plant Biology
  • Molecular Biology
CONT

A primary metabolite is a kind of metabolite that is directly involved in normal growth, development, and reproduction. It usually performs a physiological function in the organism(i. e. an intrinsic function).

OBS

Primary metabolites are essential for the survival of the plant and include sugars, proteins and amino acids.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biologie végétale
  • Biologie moléculaire
CONT

[...] les métabolites primaires sont des molécules qui existent dans toutes les cellules végétales et sont nécessaires à la vie de la plante. Les sucres simples, les acides aminés, les protéines et les acides nucléiques sont des exemples de métabolites primaires.

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
  • Research Experiments in Space
CONT

The Insect Habitat(IH) was designed to support a variety of insect species. However, during the initial flight increments, it will be dedicated to experiments using Drosophila melanogaster, or fruit flies. The Insect Habitat will enable studies of the fruit fly to learn how microgravity affects development, nervous system function, movement and behavior, growth, reproduction, aging, gene expression, mutagenesis from radiation and circadian rhythms or sleep/wake cycles.

CONT

The IH will support single- and multi-generation experiments that have approximate external dimensions of 13.5 cm (L) x 2.25 cm (D) x 7.0 cm (H) each. The flies will live in two chevron-shaped container elements. These containers can be divided into two parts using the internal food cylinders; this yields two 55 ml containers that can support up to 100 Drosophila through to egg-laying. Alternatively, the containers can be left undivided, which yields a single 110 ml volume that supports up to 200 Drosophila. ... The two insect containers reside in the science element portion of the IH. The science element consists of two environmentally controlled "drawers." Each drawer contains a centrifuge that can provide up to 2G. Each centrifuge will hold six insect containers. Typically, one drawer will have a microgravity environment and the other drawer will have a defined gravity environment, although the precise gravity regimen for each centrifuge can be determined by the researcher.

CONT

Insect Habitat (IH) for Space Station - The Insect Habitat System consists of a Transport Element, Science Element and an Insect Container Element.

OBS

Habitats in the Space Station Fundamental Biology Research Facility (SSFBRF) enable studies on a variety of organisms across multiple science disciplines. They allow scientists to conduct experiments in habitats that are similar in design to those that have been used in labs for ground studies. Each habitat provides life support, environmental control, and monitoring systems and can be housed in one or more of the three major host systems: the Centrifuge, Life Sciences Glovebox, and Habitat Holding Rack. This hardware was designed to automate as much as possible, thus providing maximizing science return while requiring minimal crew time.

OBS

insect habitat; IH: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Engins spatiaux
  • Travaux de recherche dans l'espace
CONT

[...] le Compartiment canadien pour insectes devant être lancé à destination de l'ISS en 2004.

CONT

Le laboratoire pour insectes (Insect Habitat Facility) subira quant à lui des essais rigoureux ici sur Terre en vue de son lancement à bord de l'ISS [International Space Station] au milieu de 2005.

OBS

compartiment canadien pour insectes; IH : terme et abréviation uniformisés par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).

Record 6 1983-03-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Urban Planning
CONT

the difference between reproduction cost new or replacement cost new of the improvements and the present worth of those improvements, both measured as of the date of the appraisal. In measuring accrued depreciation, the appraiser is interested in identifying and measuring the loss in utility experienced by the subject structure in its present condition, as compared to the utility it would have as a new improvement representing the highest and best use of the site. The expression "accrued depreciation" is by far the most frequently used of these two terms. The concept represented by it is sometimes closely related to "depreciation" and this is why "accrued depreciation" is also said to be function of physical deterioration, functional obsolescence and economic obsolescence.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aménagement urbain
CONT

Différence entre le coût de remplacement neuf et la valeur actuelle. C'est la dévalorisation déjà (subie). La dépréciation accumulée se rapproche souvent de la notion représentée par le terme "dépréciation" employé seul.
