DEF

Application of nanoscience and nanotechnologies techniques in the field of medicine.

CONT

Nanomedicine is the application of nanotechnology (the engineering of tiny machines) to the prevention and treatment of disease in the human body. This evolving discipline has the potential to dramatically change medical science. Established and near-future nanomedicine applications include activity monitors, chemotherapy, pacemakers, biochips, OTC [over-the-counter] tests, insulin pumps, nebulizers, needleless injectors, hearing aids, medical flow sensors and blood pressure, glucose monitoring and drug delivery systems.

CONT

The chapter on nanomedicine defines the field of nanomedicine and its objectives, keyed to the "biological existence proof" of the feasibility of nanotechnology. Several thought experiments are employed to help the reader develop an intuitive appreciation of time, space, and mechanics in the microworld, where nanorobots will be operating. The goals of biotechnology-based "molecular medicine" are carefully distinguished from the goals of nanomedicine. The evolution of the concept of nanomedicine and cell repair machines is described as the natural culmination of millennia of medical history. The limits of nanomedicine are presented, although by 20th century standards these limits appear, for the most part, quite tolerable and modest in scope. The applicability of the Hippocratic Oath in the nanomedical era is explored.

Nano is a prefix meaning one billionth (1/1,000,000,000).

Mint lustre or bloom is somewhat frosty in appearance as opposed to the mirror-like smoothness of the field of a proof. Since the lustre of a coin can vary considerably due to factors such as wear, polishing of dies or blanks, exposure to chemicals, humidity, or temperature extremes, etc., it is an important indicator of the condition or grade of a coin. The qualities of lustre are often described by such adjectives as fiery, frosty, light frost, heavy frost, satiny, flat looking, matte, semi-matte, and so on. Although normally brilliant, with time, lustre may become dull, spotted, or discoloured. Lustre is easily worn through with the slightest amount of circulation and strong chemical cleaners will destroy it. Once the mint lustre is gone it cannot be properly restored.

CONT

Cow evaluations for milk and fat yield are expressed in breed-class average units(BCA) as estimated transmitting ability(ETA) or one-half the additive genetic value of the cow. A majority(about 59%) of the cow indexes are negative which is a consequence of typing the cow indexes across herds through common usage of AI sires. The genetic base used for expression of sire evaluation is such that the average proof of multi-herd use(five or more) sires is zero for bulls whose first daughter freshened within the past five years. As there is a time lag for dissemination of their genetics into the cow population, the average cow index will therefore be less than zero if genetic progress is being made.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial and Economic Psychology
DEF

Theory which compares naked self-interest with cooperation.

OBS

You and a friend have been caught by the police with a stolen car. They rightly suspect both of you of another, more serious offence, but have no proof. You are being held in separate cells and cannot communicate. The police offer you a deal : if you tell them about your friend's other crime you will not be charged with stealing the car. You surmise that they have offered your friend the same deal. What do you do? If you both stay silent, both of you will be charged with the lesser crime-a good result. If both of you talk, both will go to jail for a more serious offence, on evidence of each other's testimony-a bad result. But the dilemma is : if you alone stay silent, you will be punished for both offences while your accomplice walks free.

CONT

The "prisoner’s dilemma" has been a favourite story of economists for many years, for it illustrates a much more widespread problem: how individual ambition can lead to collective misery. Traffic jams are prisoner’s dilemmas: the more people take individual steps to alleviate congestion (by using public transport) the more they benefit others who do not share their public-spiritedness. Price wars in the airline industry are another example.

  • Natural Construction Materials
  • Building Insulation and Acoustical Design
CONT

External Insulation... You must notify your local council and this type of work must be carried out by the professionals as you will have to change the window frames and pipes. The material is usually glass or rock fibre and must be fitted above the damp proof course.

CONT

Porous absorbent. When the mineral fibers like glass fiber or rock fiber are exposed in air for a long time, they begin to effloresce into dust. By that reason, others generally install for packing with vinyl films decreasing the absorption effect. But we install the mineral plastic particles of strong durability with PVF film of chemical fiber, and therefore, our products have the features of an excellent durability as well as the best absorption effect.

OBS

Not to be confused with mineral fiber, which is a broader term.

La fibre de roche est un filament obtenue par fusion et soufflage de roches sédimentaires profondes; inorganique et amorphe, elle ne favorise pas le développement des bactéries.

CONT

Dans les systèmes isolés avec de la fibre de roche ou de la fibre cellulosique, la résistance au feu est plus grande parce que ces isolants résistent plus longtemps à la chaleur. La fibre de roche et la fibre cellulosique, plus denses, fournissent également un degré d'isolation acoustique plus élevé que la fibre de verre.

A proof pulled on the actual production press(as opposed to a proofing press) to show exactly how the form will look when printed. Press proofs are expensive and are normally requested only for special jobs.

OBS

Not to be confused with "final proof". Although all press proofs are final proofs, i.e. the last proofs pulled, not all final proofs are press proofs since the latter are pulled only for special jobs.

English

Subject field(s)
  • IT Security
DEF

An informal presentation of a formal security policy model.

OBS

Formal Security Policy Model. A mathematically precise statement of a security policy. To be adequately precise, such a model must represent the initial state of a system, the way in which the system progresses from one state to another, and a definition of a "secure" state of the system. To be acceptable as a basis for a TCB, the model must be supported by a formal proof that if the initial state of the system satisfies the definition of a "secure" state and if all assumptions required by the model hold, then all future states of the system will be secure. Some formal modeling techniques include : state transition models, temporal logic models, denotational semantics models, algebraic specification models. An example is the model described by Bell and LaPadula....

  • Coins and Bank Notes
  • Numismatics
  • Coining
DEF

lustre; bloom; sheen: The brightness on the surface of an uncirculated numismatic object resulting from the centrifugal flow of metal caused by striking with dies.

OBS

Mint lustre or bloom is somewhat frosty in appearance as opposed to the mirror-like smoothness of the field of a proof. Since the lustre of a coin can vary considerably due to factors such as wear, polishing of dies or blanks, exposure to chemicals, humidity, or temperature extremes, etc., it is an important indicator of the condition or grade of a coin. The qualities of lustre are often described by such adjectives as fiery, frosty, light frost, heavy frost, satiny, flat looking, matte, semi-matte, and so on. Although normally brilliant, with time, lustre may become dull, spotted, or discoloured. Lustre is easily worn through with the slightest amount of circulation and strong chemical cleaners will destroy it. Once the mint lustre is gone it cannot be properly restored.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

the Press System will be implicitly applying a rewrite rule to an expression, the result being the binding of RHS. This constitutes a step in the object-level search. As the meta-level inference continues(top-down) continues, it experiments with different object-level steps(bottom-up) and if successful finds a proof or solution at the object-level. By this technique each object-level decision can be based on an arbitrary amount of inference at the meta-level.
