DEF

[One] of the anterior feet ... of a quadruped.

CONT

Hopping and bounding begin in the same way : the front feet either land as a pair(next to each other), or one after the other(one in front of the other), but in bounds the hind feet move forward beyond and to either side of the front feet. The front feet pick up as the hind feet pass to the outside, and there is a moment where the animal loses contact with the ground before the hind feet come down and push off again.

OBS

forefeet; front feet: plural.

Le chien est un animal tétrapode : il possède des membres pairs locomoteurs, deux pattes avant et deux pattes arrières. Chez le chien en santé, les pattes avant supportent 60 % du poids de son corps alors que les pattes arrière supportent les 40 % [du poids] restant.

OBS

pied antérieur; pied avant : Pour désigner la partie terminale d'une patte d'un animal, le terme «pied» ne s'emploie que chez quelques mammifères, surtout domestiques, et en particulier chez des équidés. Pour cette raison, l'emploi des termes «patte antérieure» ou «patte avant» pourrait être mieux adapté pour désigner la présente notion.

Subject field(s)
  • Pharmacology

CONT

For example, the concept of scaffold hopping, which could be considered a subset of the concept of bioisosterism..., might be applied during lead optimization to identify one or more new series of compounds having a fundamentally different core structure to improve, for example, its potency or selectivity profile, synthetic accessibility, intellectual property position, or pharmacokinetic properties. The goal of scaffold hopping is to attain novel structures by changing the central core framework(the scaffold) of active compounds without affecting its binding to the target receptor.

With a computer, a modem and the right software, browsing for the latest albums might never be the same again. A growing number of databases on computer networks, known as on-line music-distribution services, allow music fans to listen to a song and even record if free of charge - all without leaving your home.

OBS

On-line music-distribution services are several evolutionary steps beyond bulletin boards. Whether you’re dialling in by modem, or hopping on to Internet via high-speed digital lines, users can tap into various "sites, "browse through menus for the artists and types of music available on-line, and download(depending on your software capability) audio samples of their music for playback.

Swiss researchers have unveiled a grasshopper-sized robot capable of jumping more than 4 feet(1. 4 meters) high-marking a new record for robo-hoppers. The 2-inch-tall(5-centimeter-tall) contraption could blaze a trail for future rescue robots or swarms of interplanetary explorers, according to its developers. The robo-grasshopper, which weighs just a quarter of an ounce(7 grams) joins robotic versions of salamanders, birds, inchworms, water skimmers, dinosaurs, even robo-bacteria and robo-beetles. For years, researchers have talked about developing hopping robots that could be dropped off on Mars and jump around the Red Planet's rugged terrain, serving as scouts, samplers or communication relays.

A type of off-road race using bicycles that resemble road bikes.

CONT

Cyclocross courses are very rough and muddy, and are designed to force the competitors to dismount and run with their bicycles several times per lap.

CONT

Cyclocross has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed cycle racing on a short off road course, riding racing style bikes. Any and every technique is used by the competitors to speed themselves ahead : bunny hopping, shouldering the bike, skidding, even some physical contact.

Effectivement, souvent le vélo doit être porté sur l'épaule pour grimper un passage particulièrement raide ou boueux ou lorsqu'un obstacle ne peut être passé en selle. [...] Le vélo ressemble à un vélo de route [...] le cyclo-cross est un sport qui se pratique l'hiver.
