DEF

A device made of metal or plastic fitted beneath the front bumper of an automobile and intended to enhance aerodynamics and stability by blocking the flow of turbulent air under the chassis.

CONT

At high speeds the front spoiler, with the built-in air ducts for brake cooling, reduces lift on the front axle thus further improving directional stability.

Record 2 2014-06-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
  • Radiation Protection
DEF

A chemical agent that reduces the intensity of a particular radiation effect when added to a chemical or biological system.

OBS

The agent may be added prior to exposure, as with potassium iodide for thyroid action blocking, or after exposure, as with chelating agents for metal excretion enhancement.

OBS

chemical radiation protector: term and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
  • Radioprotection
DEF

Produit chimique qui réduit l'intensité d'un effet particulier du rayonnement quand il est ajouté à un système chimique ou biologique.

OBS

L'agent peut être ajouté avant l'exposition, comme avec l'iodure de potassium pour le bloquage de l'action sur la thyroïde, ou après l'exposition, comme avec les agents de chélation, pour améliorer l'élimination du métal.

OBS

radioprotecteur : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.

Record 4 2012-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Optical Instruments
DEF

A microscope that is similar to the electron microscope but uses protons instead of electrons as the charged particles.

CONT

The proton-scattering microscope. This instrument uses a beam of protons from an ion source or gun. The beam is focussed and accelerated onto a crystal of a metal such as copper or tungsten, which serves as the target. The pattern of scattered protons is recorded on a fluorescent screen; the blocking patterns provide information on the orientation of the crystals.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments scientifiques
  • Instruments d'optique
DEF

Dispositif d'optique électronique analogue au microscope électronique, mais dans lequel les porteurs électrisés sont des protons.
