Subject field(s)
  • Urban Housing
CONT

What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit(ADU) ? An accessory dwelling unit(ADU) is a legal and regulatory term for a secondary house or apartment that shares the building lot of a larger, primary home. The unit cannot be bought or sold separately, but they are often used to provide additional income through rent or to house a family member. For example, an elderly parent could live in a small unit and avoid having to move to an assisted living facility.

IN: This is the basic in pattern. You go up the field then cut in toward the center of the field at a sharp angle. If on other side, just reverse it. Sometimes this is also known as a drag [pattern].

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.

Master the Overhead Squat.... If you do it right, the overhead squat is an effective movement for your legs, hips, shoulders, even your abs [abdominal muscles].... When trying to perform an overhead squat, a lot of people either shift their weight too far forward onto their toes or back onto their heels, among other mistakes. You want to aim to keep your weight balanced over the middle of your arches, with your arms over your feet. Begin in a standing position, holding a dowel overhead with your arms straight and your feet about shoulder-width apart. Initiate the movement with your hips, squatting back and down until the tops of your thighs are at least parallel to the floor. As you go, think about pulling the dowel apart with your hands. Push through your hips to return to a standing position.

OBS

This bodybuilding exercise can be performed with a medicine ball, a barbell, dumbbells or any other accessory.

Providing transfer rates comparable to a T1 line at about 1. 5 Mbps, HDSL receives information and sends information at the same high Internet speed through a modem or wireless connection, but it requires two different lines that are separate from your phone line. So if you are not uploading a lot you have no need for this.

CONT

HDSL (High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line), one of the earliest forms of DSL, is used for wideband digital transmission within a corporate site and between the telephone company and a customer. The main characteristic of HDSL is that it is symmetrical: an equal amount of bandwidth is available in both directions. HDSL can carry as much on a single wire of twisted-pair cable as can be carried on a T1 line.

... the flow of heat from one part of a substance to another part of the same substance, or from one substance to another substance in direct contact with it.

CONT

Conduction is the transfer of heat from an area of warmer temperature to an area of colder temperature. Heat is transferred from a substance or through a substance by molecular activity. A hot parking lot or a warm ocean can conduct heat to the air above it.

OBS

A piece of iron with one end placed in a fire will soon become warm from end to end.

[...] forme de transfert d'énergie calorifique (chaleur) dans laquelle les molécules d'une substance s'entrechoquent entre elles en transférant ainsi de la chaleur lors de ces «collisions».

OBS

Le déplacement de ces molécules n'est ni apparent, ni visible [comme c'est le cas dans le phénomène de convection]. Plus simplement, c'est une transmission de chaleur qui a lieu lorsque deux corps (ou deux parties d'un même corps) ayant des températures différentes sont en contact direct, intime.

OBS

La chaleur se propage de molécule à molécule par diffusion, des points les plus chauds vers les points les plus froids. Pratiquement presque tous les corps bons conducteurs de la chaleur sont aussi bons conducteurs électriques. La conduction de la chaleur s'opère toujours dans le sens de l'égalisation finale des températures, c'est-à-dire dans le sens qui conduit à une dégradation de l'énergie.

Unpaid care provided for a family member.

CONT

Unpaid family care is not considered to be part of national health expenditure. Households and families provide a lot of inputs to health care, through their uncompensated time and effort. For example, family members take time to care for the sick at home or to stay with them in hospital.

OBS

This term should not be used interchangeably with "informal care," which represents a more comprehensive concept and includes care by friends or neighbours.

CONT

Le rapport entre les soins familiaux et les soins formels est ainsi décrit : «[...] à la fois interdépendants et irréductibles les uns les autres. Ils constituent deux systèmes autonomes, ce qui les rend non substituables.» Ils obéissent à des logiques fort différentes et s'exercent selon des modèles qui leur sont propres : les soins familiaux sont adaptés, diversifiés, permanents; les soins formels sont normés, universels, définis; les uns relèvent du lien social, de l'échange, du don, de la dette symbolique; les autres relèvent du critère de l'utilité et de l'efficacité économique.

OBS

The faculty member should then meet with a content development team (CDT). The CDT provides expertise in instructional design and media production while faculty members provide content expertise. The faculty member and CDT reach an agreement regarding the possible, desired, and recommended features and content to include in the course.

CONT

Generally, the key to coaching is to ask open-ended questions you don’t know the answers to(as opposed to asking questions for the sake of asking questions). The content team has to structure the choice so that the user couldn’t juste fly through the system by choosing an open-ended questions choice each time. Coaching is a lot more complicated than that, and it's important to drill this fact home to trainees.

A young star is apparently blasting high-speed gas jets from its poles, carving a void through the dense molecular cloud that was its birthplace, according to an international team of astronomers.... The timing of stellar birth phases depends a lot on the star's environment. If a star has nearby companion stars, or if it starts forming planets in its disk, these objects can clear away gas that feeds the jets, terminating them more quickly than an isolated star without planets.

The rotor of the air-driven gyro is mounted in a sealed housing. Filtered air is brought into the gyro housing through passages in the rear pivot, the gimbal ring, and the side pivots. The air then blows against the rotor through two angled nozzles on opposite sides of the housing. The circumference of the rotor is machined with dozens of little bucket-like cutouts which allow the airflow to spin the rotor like a waterwheel(but a whole lot faster). Having done its work, the air then exits through exhaust ports on the lower part of the sealed gyro housing, whereupon it is sucked out of the instrument case by the vacuum pump.

CONT

Attitude indicator components (vacuum-driven). The rotor, mounted in a sealed housing, spins in a horizontal plane about the vertical axis. The housing pivots about the lateral axis on a gimbal, which in turn is free to pivot about the longitudinal axis. The instrument case is the third gimbal necessary for universal mounting. The horizon bar is linked to the gyro by a lever, attached to a pivot on the rear of the gimbal frame and connected to the gyro housing by a guide pin.

On appellera «carter» le solide [...] qui porte le gyro au moyen de paliers A et A'. Cette dénomination de carter est parfaitement adaptée puisque le gyro doit être protégé des poussières et régulé en température. De plus la grande vitesse de rotation présente un danger pour l'environnement extérieur. [...] Le carter s'appelle aussi «élément sensible», car c'est lui qui reçoit directement les effets du gyro et lui seul est vraiment observable. Sa structure sera donc agrémentée d'équipements divers : moteur d'entraînement du gyro, alimentation électrique de ce moteur, capteur de vitesse angulaire axiale [...]

CONT

Gyroscopes libres. Le problème consiste à suspendre la toupie en minimisant l'incertitude [delta]C sur le couple qui lui est appliqué. [...] des recherches technologiques ont favorisé l'apparition de multiples réalisations parmi lesquelles on peut citer : la suspension par cardan [...]; la suspension par flottaison; la poussée d'Archimède, agissant sur les anneaux de cardan et sur un carter étanche renfermant la toupie, soulage les paliers, qui peuvent alors être équipés d'ensembles pivot-rubis; [...]

CONT
