CONT

Alors que, par le passé, la lutte antipaludique reposait en premier sur la pulvérisation d'insecticide, l'approche actuelle, fondée sur un emploi sélectif des méthodes de protection, y compris la lutte contre les vecteurs, permet de mener une action plus efficace et économique, et également plus durable.

Record 4 2005-07-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Rights and Freedoms
  • Health Law
CONT

Everyone has the right to decide what is to be done to one's own body. This includes the right to be free from medical treatment to which the individual does not consent. This concept of individual autonomy is fundamental to the common law and is the basis for the requirement that disclosure be made to a patient.

CONT

Security of the person has an element of personal autonomy, protecting the dignity and privacy of individuals with respect to decisions concerning their own body.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droits et libertés
  • Droit de la santé
CONT

[ ... ] une notion d'autonomie personnelle qui comprend, au moins, la maîtrise de l'intégrité de sa personne sans aucune intervention de l'État et l'absence de toute tension psychologique et émotionnelle imposée par l'État.

CONT

La common law, comme la [Charte canadienne des droits et libertés], reconnaît donc l'importance fondamentale de l'autonomie individuelle et de l'autodétermination dans notre système juridique.

Record 5 2005-01-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Morphology and General Physiology
CONT

Any fundamental theory of self-assembly of small molecules, such as phospho-lipids, into large well-defined structures, such as bilayers, must involve(1) the interaction [of] free energies of the molecules,(2) the geometry of the molecules and(3) a correct thermodynamic treatment of the whole system.

OBS

Brownian motion in a fluid brings molecules together. If molecules have suitable complementary surfaces, they bind, assembling to form a specific structure.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Morphologie et physiologie générale
DEF

Fait de s'assembler spontanément.

CONT

Une équipe du laboratoire d'enzymologie du C.N.R.S. de Gif-sur-Yvette, a récemment démontré que la tubuline purifiée présentait une activité GTPasique propre au cours de son autoassemblage.

Record 6 2001-07-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Equipment and Tools (Water Supply)
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
CONT

In recent years, drinking water regulations for the removal of particles and total organic carbon(TOC) have become more stringent. Consequently, utilities are considering whether traditional treatment strategies... are best suited to achieving these new standards at a reasonable cost, or whether the use of innovative processes is warranted. Among the possible alternatives that are currently in use, microsand enhanced coagulation has emerged as a promising, low-cost alternative for many water supplies based on extensive trial and error pilot testing. However, because of poor understanding, there is no fundamental basis for deciding when, or if, the microsand process will offer advantages over conventional treatment, nor is there an understanding about the magnitude of the improvement to be expected.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Équipement et outillage (Alimentation en eau)

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mineral Processing (Metallurgy)
  • Processing of Mineral Products
DEF

Treatment of ores to concentrate their valuable constituents(minerals) into products(concentrate) of smaller bulk, and simultaneously to collect the worthless material(gangue) into discardable waste(tailing). The fundamental operations of ore-dressing processes are the breaking apart of the associated constituents of the ore by mechanical means(severance) and the separation of the severed components(beneficiation) into concentrate and tailing, using mechanical or physical methods which do not effect substantial chemical changes.

Record 9 1997-06-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
OBS

In the simple collision theory the frequencies of bimolecular collisions depend upon the collision diameter ... which in the simplest form of the theory is the sum of the radii ... of the colliding molecular particles.

OBS

A more fundamental approach of chemical reactivity is the collision theory. A complete wave-mechanical treatment of a molecular collision remains a very difficult problem. A semi-classical treatment is usually made. The born-Oppenheimer approximation is used to describe the molecular complex M formed during the approach of the two molecules A and B.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
OBS

Dans la théorie des collisions simples, la fréquence des collisions bimoléculaires dépend du diamètre de collision [...] qui, dans la forme la plus simple de la théorie, est égal à la somme des rayons [...] des particules moléculaires qui entrent en collision.
