Record 3 2014-10-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
CONT

An instrument located at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory on Mount Hopkins, Arizona, at an altitude of 2, 606 m(8, 550 ft). It employed six mirrors, each 1. 82 m(72 in.) across, working together to give the equivalent of a single mirror 4. 45 m(176 in.) in aperture. In 1998, the MMT was used in a pioneering demonstration of nulling interferometry to image the dust cloud around Betelgeuse. Following this, the telescope was closed and work began to upgrade it by replacing the 6 small mirrors with a single mirror 6. 5 m in diameter.

OBS

The MMT kept its original name after it was converted to a single 6. 5m diameter mirror on May 20, 2000.

Domaine(s)
  • Optique
CONT

L'observatoire d'astrophysique Smithsonian et l'Université d'Arizona présentèrent, en 1979, un tout nouveau type de télescope: le MMT ("Multiple-Mirror Telescope", ou télescope à miroir multiple). Installé sur le mont Hopkins en Arizona, le MMT se compose de 6 miroirs de 183 cm (72"), disposés en hexagone et alignés par ordinateur.

OBS

Il existe d'autres types de télescopes à miroirs multiples : le télescope Keck, situé à l'observatoire du Mauna Kea, à Hawaii, aux États-Unis, est constitué de 36 petits miroirs hexagonaux de 90 cm. Le télescope spatial James Webb (JWST), dont le lancement est prévu pour 2010, sera constitué de 18 miroirs de 6.5 mètres.

Subject field(s)
  • Non-Surgical Treatment
  • Drugs and Drug Addiction
CONT

Methadone maintenance treatment(MMT) can help injection drug users... reduce or stop injecting and return to productive lives.... Methadone... works by "occupying" the brain receptors sites affected by heroin and other opiates.

CONT

Methadone maintenance therapy is the most widely known and well-researched treatment for opioid dependency. Goals of therapy are to prevent abstinence syndrome, reduce narcotic cravings and block the euphoric effects of illicit opioid use.

[...] le traitement de substitution à la méthadone réduit la consommation d'héroïne, de cocaïne, et les comportements de consommation à risque pour la transmission du VIH et des ITSS [infections transmissibles sexuellement et par le sang] pour la majorité des personnes en traitement.

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
CONT

The Wide Field Corrector consists of a group of lenses that removes off-axis aberrations at the f/5 focus of the converted MMT [Multiple Mirror Telescope], allowing the telescope to offer excellent images over a very large field.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Optique
CONT

« Le champ de vision de nos télescopes ne dépasse pas encore 1 degré, explique Ermanno Borra. Mais nous travaillons sur des correcteurs à grand champ qui nous permettront d'obtenir un champ de vision de 45 degrés, la moitié de celui d'un télescope conventionnel. » Les télescopes à miroirs liquides pourraient ainsi accéder à une région du ciel beaucoup plus grande.

Subject field(s)
  • White Products (Petroleum)
CONT

The consensus of the U. S. EPA and the automotive industry is that the fuel antiknock additive methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl(MMT) has significant adverse effects on HC emissions. It is the judgement of the authors that it would be very difficult for manufacturers to certify vehicles at the proposed levels unless the HC standard were relaxed to compensate for the predicted HC increases. However, the authors are especially concerned with the potential for premature failure of oxygen sensors if MMT fuels are used.

Key term(s)
  • methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl fuel

Domaine(s)
  • Produits blancs (Pétrole)

Costs were determined for four separate cases as identified below : 1) CGSB Octanes, 70/30 unleaded/leaded, with MMT.... 3) Market Octanes, 70/30 unleaded/leaded, with MMT.... Since current market octanes are considerably higher than minimum octane levels specified by the Canadian General Standards Board(CGSB), it was deemed important to investigate costs at these two extremes.
