How is MAT used to treat substance use disorders? There are no medications that can cure substance use disorders. Instead, medications are used to help in the treatment of substance use disorders.... the primary intervention for individuals with substance use disorders is to get them engaged in formal substance use disorder therapy and other adjunctive forms of treatment, such as social support groups(e. g., 12-Step groups, community support groups, etc.), volunteer work, and complementary and alternative treatments, such as music therapy, animal-assisted therapy, etc. 3, record 3, English, - medication%2Dassisted%20therapy

The use of the French word can be traced only to 1625, since although grisaille painting was done in preceding centuries, it was not referred to as such. The alternative expression "peinture en camaïeu(gris) "is also documented only more recently. In the 16th century there are occasional references to "dead colour", but this term is no longer used. At the time of its origin, in the medieval period, grisaille painting was simply called "painting in black and white", as is clear, for example, from an entry in the inventories of Jean de France, Duc de Berry, of 1401, 1413 and 1416 :’Item, unes petites heures de Nostre Dame... enluminées de blanc et de noir’. However, this description is not very precise, as grisaille painting was never merely black and white at that time but was always combined with(more or less sparingly used) colours. The term grisaille, as commonly used today, itself only inadequately describes the various modes it subsumes. Their only common feature is the more or less exclusive use of non-coloured pigments, while they diverge technically and aesthetically to an often astonishing extent. 2, record 13, English, - grisaille

Consequently, utilities are considering whether traditional treatment strategies... are best suited to achieving these new standards at a reasonable cost, or whether the use of innovative processes is warranted. Among the possible alternatives that are currently in use, microsand enhanced coagulation has emerged as a promising, low-cost alternative for many water supplies based on extensive trial and error pilot testing. However, because of poor understanding, there is no fundamental basis for deciding when, or if, the microsand process will offer advantages over conventional treatment, nor is there an understanding about the magnitude of the improvement to be expected. 2, record 14, English, - microsand

Trucking has always been the mode of choice for shipping refrigerated product. But with recent developments in technology, the railways are becoming more confident they can measure up as a viable service alternative... A few weeks ago, US-based Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway(BNSF), ran its first all-refrigerated train from Illinois to California. It carried frozen product at a constant temperature for the entire 69-hour trip. There were no re-fuelling stops and so far, no cases of food spoilage... When you put a trailer on a train, there's nobody really looking after it, so if loads go bad or(the units) run out of fuel they don’t notice until it's too late. The difference with the BNSF service is the whole train is refrigerated and therefore gets constant attention. 1, record 15, English, - refrigerated%20train

A bored well of about 30 cm diameter, used as an alternative to wellpoints, in which each borehole has its own pump installed at the top. It is more expensive and slower to install, but there is less disturbance to the ground than with wellpoints because there are fewer, though more efficient, wells.... If the pumps are submersible they can be installed at the foot of each well, and there is then no limit to their depth. 1, record 18, English, - filter%20well

La hauteur d'aspiration est limitée pratiquement à 7 ou 8,00 m. Dans le cas où la hauteur de pompage est plus importante, on a recours à des puits filtrants équipés chacun d'une pompe immergée dont la hauteur de refoulement n'est plus limitée.
