Individuals in this category [of severe COPD] tend to have the following features : intense dyspnoea often with purse-lip breathing; thin and often elderly; small sputum volume; rarely develop oedema or overt heart failure. Investigations may show : near-normal blood gas values(until terminally) ;very severe airways obstruction; increased total lung capacity; radiological evidence of emphysema; impairment of transfer factor. In simple terms, the "pink puffer" can be regarded as ’doing his best’ to breathe enough tokeep the PCO2 down often in the face of great difficulties... 2, record 2, English, - pink%20puffer

Le terme anglais «pink puffer» est souvent non traduit en français puisqu'il s'agit d'un terme non technique [informal]. Dans ce contexte, on peut parler d'obstruction chronique des voies respiratoires avec dyspnée à l'effort, d'insuffisance respiratoire chronique avec dyspnée pendant l'effort ou de broncho-pneumopathie obstructive chronique avec dyspnée à l'effort, pour décrire le concept. 2, record 2, French, - c%26oelig%3Bur%20pulmonaire%20chronique%20avec%20dyspn%C3%A9e%20d%27effort

The concept of absolute zero as a limiting temperature has many thermodynamic consequences. For example, all molecular motion does not necessarily cease at absolute zero, but none is available for transfer to other systems, and it is therefore correct to say that the energy at absolute zero is minimal. 4, record 3, English, - absolute%20zero

Radiométrie : la mesure des propriétés électriques ou radioactives du sol pour la prospection pétrolière est une méthode plus récente. La présence d'hydrocarbures dans une roche réservoir se traduit par des anomalies de radioactivité que l'on décèle en surface au compteur Geiger-Müller : en mesurant suivant le quadrillage habituel l'intensité du rayonnement gamma, on arrive à dresser une carte des zones où les radiations sont soit supérieures, soit inférieures à la normale, ce qui se traduit par un «halo» entourant et délimitant chaque point singulier géologique. 2, record 4, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20radiom%C3%A9trique
