Among the techniques focused on upper limb motor recovery, two have gained prominence, constraint-induced movement therapy(CIMT) and robot-assisted therapy(RT). RT is based on the concept of high intensity and an increased number of repetitions of functional movements to induce upper limb functional improvement... and has been reported as a potential approach to provide stroke patients with motor and functional recovery of upper limbs... Robotic devices provide stroke patients with intensive stimuli and allow the professionals to control the parameters during the rehabilitation session... 2, record 1, English, - robotic%20therapy

Les techniques d'électrophysiologie cognitive présentent l'avantage de pouvoir suivre la chronologie des opérations mentales associées aux activations corticales sous-jacentes. Cet accès privilégié à la dynamique cérébrale, quasiment en temps réel, est apparu avec l'électroencéphalographie (EEG) et est désormais optimisé avec la magnétoencéphalographie (MEG). Cette technique, grâce à l'enregistrement de champs magnétiques cérébraux, permet d'explorer l'activité cérébrale liée aux processus cognitifs avec une meilleure résolution spatiale que celle de l'EEG. 4, record 3, French, - magn%C3%A9toenc%C3%A9phalographie

Movement of liquid across an electrophoretic support medium due to the migration of hydrated ions of the charge opposite that of the charged functional group in the support medium(e. g.-Ch2COO-in cellulose acetate). 1, record 6, English, - electroosmosis
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Electro-osmosis is the transport of water from one electrode to another. It results from the support medium being charged. At neutral and alkaline pH the charge is usually negative, the charged medium therefore attempts to move towards the anode. To balance this, positively charged water molecules (H3O+) move to the cathode. This movement of water does not affect the fractionating capacity but can cause loss of water from reservoirs, thus altering the homogeneity of the electrophoretic field. 4, record 6, English, - electroosmosis

During the past several decades the coastal States of the world have been extending seaward their claims to jurisdiction over what has traditionally been recognized as the free seas. Claims have been both geographical, applied to specific maritime areas enclosed by boundaries, and functional, pertaining to certain competences such as control over fishing or drilling for hydrocarbons on the continental shelf. The net effect of these claims has been the gradual partitioning of nearly one-third of the global ocean into various types of maritime zones. The process of expanding maritime claims, sometimes termed "creeping jurisdiction" or "the ocean enclosure movement", may be approaching a temporary plateau. 1, record 10, English, - ocean%20enclosure%20movement

L'extension des limites de la juridiction des États riverains dans les zones marines adjacentes est, de toute évidence, la principale caractéristique de l'évolution du droit de la mer depuis la fin du deuxième conflit mondial. La Conférence de Genève de 1958 consacre, à travers les conventions qu'elle a adoptées, cette évolution : création de la zone contigue, conditions moins strictes pour le tracé des lignes de base droites, et surtout reconnaissance de droits souverains à l'État riverain sur les ressources de son plateau continental. [...] La Conférence de Genève de 1958, contrairement à ce qu'on aurait pu penser, loin de stabiliser le mouvement exclusiviste, le stimulera en provoquant l'exaspération de certains États, l'arrivée en masse sur la scène internationale de nouveaux États ne faisant qu'accentuer ce mouvement; la preuve en est que la décennie 60 sera le témoin d'une multitude de déclarations unilatérales par lesquelles des États riverains étendront leur juridiction. [...] C'est en partie pour mettre fin à cette «juridiction rampante» que la délégation maltaise saisissait en 1967 les Nations-Unies de la question du régime juridique du fond des mers au-delà des limites de la juridiction générale. 1, record 10, French, - mouvement%20exclusiviste
