Severe anxiety symptoms present themselves in a variety of ways. Before finding out the ways that this disease manifests itself, it is important for you to have a background on the causes of severe anxiety. In general, the main sources of severe anxiety are either an unresolved emotional trauma, which leads to what is commonly known as post-traumatic stress disorder. It can also be caused by emotional underdevelopment, which leads to the incapacity to deal with stress, or it could also be rooted in physiological causes such as hormonal imbalances. 2, record 2, English, - severe%20anxiety

L'anxiété sévère survient lorsque le corps réagit fréquemment et exagérément par de l'agitation face à des situations qui ne sont pas dangereuses en soi. L'anxiété peut devenir un gros handicap lorsque la personne qui en souffre cherche à éviter de nombreuses situations qui provoquent chez elle de l'anxiété.

Once again, the environmental groups appearing before the Committee were opposed to the two recommendations, claiming that they were in fact not necessary. The joint CELA/CIELAP submission to the Committee argued that the criticism that MMLERs are not "scientifically based" was simply out of place and did not reflect the nature of how the regulations were developed and administered. The regulations remain technically defensible since they are based on what is technologically feasible, and not what is required from an ecological point of view. In actual fact, the problem is not the existence of poor science, but rather that the MMLERs are not tough enough to protect local ecosystems.(19) The joint brief went on to note that as a general principle, the natural background levels of metals in waters and sediments are not germane to the notion of technology-based standards. 2, record 6, English, - technology%2Dbased%20standard

Dans ce cas-là aussi, les représentants des groupes environnementaux qui ont comparu devant le Comité ont dit s'opposer aux deux recommandations, en déclarant qu'elles étaient inutiles. Les auteurs du mémoire conjoint que l'ACDE et l'ICDPE ont fait parvenir au Comité soutiennent en effet que la critique de ceux qui prétendent que le RELMM n'est pas scientifique n'est pas fondée, car elle ne tient pas compte de sa démarche d'élaboration, ni de la manière de l'appliquer. Le RELMM se défend du point de vue technique puisqu'il est basé sur ce que la technologie rend possible et non sur ce qu'il faudrait du point de vue écologique. En réalité, le problème n'est pas la piètre valeur scientifique des données, mais plutôt le fait que le RELMM n'est pas assez strict pour protéger les écosystèmes locaux. Les auteurs n'ont pas manqué de souligner que, en règle générale, les niveaux naturels ambiants de métaux dans l'eau et les sédiments n'ont rien à voir avec l'idée de normes fondées sur la technologie. 1, record 6, French, - norme%20fond%C3%A9e%20sur%20la%20technologie

In 1965, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson announced the discovery of microwave radiation which uniformly filled the sky and had a blackbody temperature of about 3. 5 K. The pair had been testing a new radio amplifier that was supposed to be exceptionally quiet.... After many attempts to account for all extraneous sources of radio noise, they came to the conclusion that there was a general background of radiation at the radio frequency they were using.

Online learning support is an integral part of the online learning process in guiding learners and providing feedback(Coomey & Stephenson, 2001; Oliver, 2001). In learner-centred instruction, learners direct and control various aspects of their learning(e. g. learning outcomes, choice of group members), with instructors in the background providing advice and general guidelines on resources and procedures. Various means of online learning support include :-Learning guides(e. g. generic ones on study and research skills or specific guides on how to complete a particular online course).-Online mentors and buddies who facilitate, coach or guide learners through the course.-Online personal learning portfolios(e. g. learners’ journals, personal learning logs) to promote self-reflection(a critical component of learner-centred instruction).-Online public learning portfolios to encourage peer review and feedback on each other's work. 1, record 12, English, - online%20learning%20support

Pour ceux-ci [les membres du corps enseignant], la conception de modules, de cours et de programmes en ligne peut demander beaucoup de temps, sans compter celui qu'ils doivent consacrer à la formation de la plupart des apprenants en ligne. C'est pourquoi on ne peut pas s'attendre à ce qu'ils maintiennent leur appui à l'apprentissage en ligne tout en continuant à s'acquitter de leurs tâches traditionnelles d'enseignement, de recherche et d'engagement communautaire. 1, record 12, French, - appui%20%C3%A0%20l%27apprentissage%20en%20ligne

Deterministic : A type of signal whose spectrum consists of a collection of discrete components, as opposed to a random signal, whose spectrum is spread out or "smeared" in frequency. Some deterministic signals are periodic and their spectra consist of harmonic series. Vibration signatures of machines are in general deterministic, containing one or more harmonic series, but they always have non-deterministic components, such as background noise. 2, record 16, English, - deterministic%20signal
