Subject field(s)
  • Medical Instruments and Devices
  • Scientific Research Equipment
  • Bioengineering
DEF

A flat plate with multiple wells used as small test tubes.

CONT

Assays of biochemical systems are carried out on a large scale in both industry and academia, so it is desirable to have an apparatus that allows these assays to be performed in a convenient and inexpensive fashion. Because they are relatively easy to handle and low in cost, microplates are often used for such studies. Microplates typically consist of a plurality of individual wells formed of polymeric materials. Each well includes sidewalls and a bottom so that an aliquot of a sample may be placed within each well. The wells may be arranged in relatively close proximity in a matrix pattern, allowing samples to be studied individually or as a group. Common sizes for microplates include matrices having dimensions of 4x6(24 wells) or 8x12(96 wells), although larger microplates are also used that may include matrices of hundreds or even thousands of wells.

PHR

96-well, allergen-coated microtitration plate.

PHR

Microplate holder, reader.

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
DEF

... an acid-catalyzed rearrangement of an oxime to an amide.

CONT

rearrangement : A type of chemical reaction in which the atoms of a single compound recombine, usually under the influence of a catalyst, to form a new compound having the same molecular weight but different properties.... Many instances of such arrangements have been studied, especially in the petroleum field... Some have been named for their discoverers, e. g., the Fries and Beckmann rearrangements, etc.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
DEF

[...] réaction d'isomérisation d'une oxime en amide.

CONT

En chimie organique, le réarrangement de Beckmann est une réaction permettant de convertir une oxime en amide et implique la migration d'un groupement alkyle sur un azote rendu électrophile (pauvre en électron).

Record 3 2012-10-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sociology of the Family
CONT

Following the other life events studied, having children resulted in siblings being emotionally closer and having more frequent contact; divorce and widowhood resulted in siblings being emotionally closer, having more frequent contact, increased support, and an improved sibling tie; family members’ death or poor health resulted in greater emotional closeness between adult siblings.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sociologie de la famille
CONT

Le lien fraternel constitue l’un des trois grands liens (lien conjugal, lien parental) qui structurent la famille. Il joue un rôle considérable dans la vie intrapsychique, affective et sociale du sujet. La haine, la compétition, la passion, la jalousie et l’amour se mettent en jeu dans la relation fraternelle.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cognitive Psychology
CONT

Recent laboratory research suggests that memory distortions canbe reduced using a retrieval monitoring process called the distinctivenessheuristic... This heuristic is used when one correctly rejects an item as having been studied in a target source because that item does not bring to mind detailed recollections that would be expected if it had been studied in that source.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie cognitive
CONT

Cette heuristique se rapporte à un mode de réponse influencé par le rappel de détails précis au sujet des événements précédemment expérimentés. Une incapacité à se rappeler des informations distinctives relatives à un item présenté suggère que cet item est nouveau. Les heuristiques distinctives sont des processus de métacognition, elles exigent des sujets une introspection au sein de leur mémoire (par exemple, «si j'avais vu cette image, je pense que je m’en souviendrais»).

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

In addition to environmental conditions during the operations on the surface of Mars the MIDD will have to be able to sustain the loads which occur prior to deployment from the lander. Since recent and currently studied designs for Mars landers in many cases use a "semi-hard" landing technique, the shock incurred during impact on the surface becomes the driver for sizing and qualification of components rather than the launch loads or the quasistatic loads during entry into the martian atmosphere. The MARS PATHFINDER lander, being the most prominent example of a semi-hard lander since it is the only one thus far having been built and flown, experienced an actual impact velocity of 18 m/s and a maximum deceleration(first bounce) of around 18 g, both values being lower than the hardware had been designed for.

Key term(s)
  • semi hard lander

OBS

module d'atterrissage : Le module d'atterrissage de la mission Viking mesurait 3 mètres de haut, pour une masse d'une demi tonne. Il emportait un total de 15 expériences scientifiques. Ses principaux objectifs étaient l'étude du sol martien, des vents et de l'atmosphère ainsi que la recherche d'éventuelles formes de vie.

Subject field(s)
  • Demography

CONT

Doubtless no one will reproach us for having studied the demolinguistic situation in Canada, nor for having promoted, as demographers, the viewpoint of our discipline.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Démographie
  • Linguistique (Généralités)
CONT

La composition selon la langue d'usage n'étant disponible qu'en 1971 et les données relatives à la langue maternelle n'étant pas parfaitement comparables d'un recensement à l'autre, à cause notamment des substitutions de langue maternelle [...], il est à peu près impossible de s'assurer que les effets conjoints de l'ensemble des phénomènes démolinguistiques coïncident avec les mouvements réels des compositions linguistiques.
