English

Subject field(s)
  • Drugs and Drug Addiction
CONT

Tranq dope is an ever-fluctuating blend of xylazine, a sedative, and usually an opioid, with each type of drug binding to different brain receptors.

CONT

Both xylazine and fentanyl are psychoactive and add to the effects that a user experiences. Fentanyl is a short-acting drug and the addition of xylazine extends the resulting feeling of euphoria to mimic the effects of heroin. However, many users are unaware that the heroin is adulterated(or "cut") with these other substances, and this can lead to unintended side effects and even overdose. For example, when xylazine is injected it can cause open wounds such as skin ulcers and abscesses to form. With long-term use, these lesions can become widespread across the arms and legs causing tissue death, hence its nickname : the zombie drug.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Drogues et toxicomanie
CONT

La xylazine est un sédatif et analgésique utilisé par les vétérinaires pour endormir les grands animaux. Sur le marché noir, cette substance bon marché se retrouve de plus en plus mélangée à des opioïdes tels que le fentanyl et l'héroïne pour en prolonger les effets. Ce cocktail potentiellement mortel, surnommé «tranq» ou «drogue du zombie», expose les consommateurs à des risques accrus de détresse respiratoire, de ralentissement du rythme cardiaque et de sédation profonde.

OBS

La consommation chronique de xylazine peut aussi entraîner d'importantes lésions cutanées et nécroses des tissus. La drogue contracte les vaisseaux sanguins, ce qui nuit à la bonne oxygénation de la peau et favorise le développement d'infections.

To begin felling a tree, first cut out a notch on the side of the tree facing the direction you want it to fall. Make the notch by cutting in horizontally and following with an undercut sloping up to the horizontal cut.... After the undercut is started, swing the saw around and cut a short distance into two sides of the tree. This is called "cornering" and prevents the bark and the sides from tearing when the tree falls.

A reed or blade of other material that serves as the sounding apparatus of certain wind instruments.

CONT

The single reed for the clarinet is made from a slip cut from the stem of "A. donax. "After being trimmed, the reed is flattened on the inner side, while the end of the rounded outer side is scraped down to a feather edge. The thick end of the reed is attached, flat side down, to the mouthpiece by a metal ligature or length of twine. In playing, the thin end of the reed vibrates, alternately closing and opening the space between the reed and the mouthpiece. The vibration carries through the wedged-shaped tone chamber in the mouthpiece and into the air column in the tube.

CONT

In route or drag pattern. Often today, an in route is called a drag pattern. This play requires the receiver to run a couple of steps downfield, then turn and run parallel to the line of scrimmage towards the center of the field. The drag pattern is used in the West Coast offense a lot, allowing receivers to catch the ball safely and then run after the catch. Speedy receivers who don’t mind running through linebacker territory also run in-routes.

Cribbing is essential in many extrication operations. Its most common use is to stabilize objects. Wood selected for cribbing should be solid, straight and free of major flaws such as large knots or splits. Cribbing surfaces should be free of any paint or finish because this can make the wood slippery, especially when it is wet. Cribbing can be made out of pieces of timber found in the debris and cut to size.... Cribbing involves multiple pieces of wood laid on the side and crossed. It spreads the load well and has many load transfer surfaces. It also has lateral stability depending on the ratio of width to height. The height should not be more than three times the width.

Les surfaces de calage doivent être libres de toute peinture et de tout fini car cela pourrait rendre le bois glissant, surtout lorsqu'il est humide. Les cales peuvent être faites de pièces de bois trouvées dans les débris et coupées aux dimensions requises. [...] Le calage comprend de multiples pièces de bois placées sur leur côté et entrecroisées par la suite. Il répartit bien la charge et compte plusieurs surfaces de transfert de charge.

  • Racquet Sports
DEF

A serve in which the racquet scrapes across the ball from left to right (for a right-handed [player]) and creates sidespin.

CONT

Slice serve. Side spin and topsin are applied to the serve, causing the ball to keep low and change direction after bouncing. For example, slice serves from right-handed players cut sharply away to the left. The serve is particularly well-suited to grass or indoor courts, because these surfaces slow the ball down less than hard courts.

CONT

The sliced serve imparts side spin on the ball, with a touch of top spin, and produces lateral movement in the air and at the bounce ... an effective slice serve will begin on a line straight at the receiver but veer away to his right.

CONT

It is hard to return the slice service, because the ball spins and bounces sidewards in the opponent’s court.

DEF

To cross intentionally into a partner’s forecourt territory either to volley an opponent’s service return or groundstroke rally shot.

OBS

There is a slight difference between "poaching" and "interception". The first term implies a resolve to move over to one's partner's side of the court, whether one is expecting to make contact with the ball or not. The second term implies less doubt as to whether the ball will come or not. It will come and the player will meet the ball to put it away. In general, the French term "interception" conveys both English meanings. Related terms : cross, switch, to cut to the middle, to pick off the return of service.

CONT

The non-server will attempt to reach the return of serve and place an unplayable first volley; the net player of the receiving team will seek to intercept this first volley to win the point without extending the rally.

Strontium was discovered in 1790 and was isolated in 1808. Strontium is a soft, shiny metal. Like calcium and the other metals on the left-hand side of the periodic table, strontium is an active metal. It has a shiny, silver-gray appearance when it is first cut, but soon tarnishes with a duller, slightly yellow colour. The pure metal cannot be found in nature, but an abundant supply of compounds have been naturally formed by reactions between strontium, atmospheric gases and water. Its compounds comprise of 0. 025% of the earth's crust, putting it in the same category as carbon and sulfur.

OBS

strontium: term adopted by Environment Canada; used in the list of pollutants measured in the National Air Pollution Surveillance Network (NAPS).

  • Cartography
DEF

In traditional cartography, the attachment of type in the form of stripping film on to a registered map overlay in proper relationship to linework and other map symbology.

OBS

An adhesive, usually a coating of wax is applied to the emulsion side of a wrong reading image positive stripping film. A sharp but delicate knife is used to cut around the type image and using a pair of tweezers, the thin emulsion layer is peeled off and positioned on a clear map overlay. Finally, by using a burnishing tool, the thin emulsion layer containing the type image and coated with wax, is rubbed down thereby ensuring better adhesion. The same process may be done using negative stripping film and a map negative overlay.

CONT

Le positionnement des écritures sur une carte mérite une attention particulière, et c'est là que réside l'art du cartographe. En cartographie interactive pour le Web, il faut généralement suivre les règles d'utilisation du logiciel : celui-ci positionne habituellement les caractères en ligne droite, soit à l'horizontale, soit à un angle prédéterminé. Aussi, la plupart des logiciels permettent de positionner le toponyme par rapport au symbole du lieu qu'il désigne.

CONT

Le placement des écritures demande une compétence particulière. La lisibilité conjointe de l'écriture et de la symbolisation nécessite souvent qu'on éloigne quelque peu l'écriture de son point d'attache le plus naturel. La difficulté s'accroît quand la densité des écritures augmente, ainsi que le nombre de thèmes concernés.

Hind legs of bacon pig, cured while still part of the carcass.

CONT

Ham is a pig's hind leg, first cut off the carcass and then smoked, salted or dried(or a combination of these) for preservation. Gammon also comes from the hind leg but it is cured as part of a side of bacon and cut off after wards. Gammon may be smoked separately or left unsmoked but it is not matured long enough to have a strong ham flavor and does not keep for as long as ham, which is generally cured more slowly.

CONT

For those who are unaware Gammon is from an Old Northern French word "Gambe" for hind leg of the pig or ham. However, if one wants a whole ham then a ham is ordered, if one wants part of the ham (usually boned and rolled or cut into steaks) that portion of the ham is usually called Gammon. All of our hams and gammon are cured using the over 300 year old "Wiltshire Cure" method. [Text accompanied by illustrations]

DEF

[An apron] used in medical facilities to protect workers and patients from unnecessary radiation exposure from diagnostic radiology procedures.

OBS

Protective clothing worn by radiographers contains lead and often other metals(e. g., tin, tungsten, antimony, barium) to shield the wearer from radiation. These metals are homogeneously mixed with synthetic rubber or polyvinyl chloride(PVC). Between two and five thin sheets of metal-impregnated rubber/PVC are placed between sheets of nylon fabric coated with urethane on the side against the lead-impregnated rubber/vinyl. The materials are cut into a pattern and sewn together to form the protective garment. The manufacturers of these garments vary the number of sheets, the percentage of metal, the grade of rubber or PVC, and the mixture of metals to affect flexibility, durability, radiation absorption efficiency, and weight.

OBS

Protective lead aprons and thyroid shields contain lead to shield the wearer from radiation. Lead aprons and thyroid shields are placed between the person being protected and the x-ray source (for example, radiographic or fluoroscopic x-ray units, CT scanners, DEXA scanners). X rays are more likely to interact with large atoms (atoms with lots of protons and electrons) than they are with smaller atoms, and lead, tungsten, and even gold are examples of large atoms that can be used. Each time an x ray interacts, it uses some or all of its energy to knock electrons in the atoms around. When all of the energy is used up interacting with atoms, the x ray ceases to exist.

The condenser is also a Model no. 06036 shell and tube exchanger, identical to the reboiler with a few modifications : The baffles have been cut at the bottom where they meet the shell to allow condensate to flow out of the shell. The tube side has four passes for maximum heat transfer on the tube side. It is mounted nearly horizontally. The inlet end is a couple of inches higher than the outlet to allow condensate to drain out the low end. A few tubes have been removed at the top to give the vapor more room to distribute itself along the length of the shell. There is a vent on the shell side near the outlet end to allow non-condensable gases to leave. The vent gases pass through the inside of a 36" double pipe condenser so that any condensable gasses will condense out and run down the walls back into the condenser.

A cutter-loader based on the plough principle and designed to cut coal which is too hard for the ordinary plough. Two vertical blades, fitted one at each end of the machine, carry cutting picks which shear the coal from the face by an oscillating motion. The machine is hauled backward and forward along the face by a chain haulage mounted on the tail end of the conveyor. The conveyor and slicer are held up to the coal by pneumatic rams spaced along the goaf side of the conveyor. The sheared coal is forced from the face by the wedge shape of the machine and is loaded on to the armoured conveyor by means of specially shaped ramps. The machine has been designed for seams with a minimum thickness of 4 ft and has a maximum cutting depth of 14 in.

Joy presently offer both chain ripper miners and the rotary drum head-type miners introduced in 1968. However, the rotary drum head machines are proving to be the more popular and look to be superseding the chain ripper models produced by Joy. In operation the chain ripper machine works as follows. The machine is trammed forward into position then, while the main chassis of the machine remains stationary, the cutting head moves forward, sumping into the coal at the bottom of the face. The rotation of the chains carries the broken coal back over the head and deposits it on to the chain conveyor which then moves the coal to the rear end of the machine. When the sumping operation is complete, the head travels upwards towards the top of the seam, breaking out the coal as it moves. As soon as the cycle is complete the head is withdrawn and swung to the side in order to make another cut.
