CONT

In an extensive analysis of homicide in diverse cultures, Daly and Wilson(1988) identify male partner jealousy, possessiveness, and desire to control female partners as important precursors for intimate femicide worldwide. This led them to conclude that "sexual proprietariness" is an evolved manifestation of masculinity that interacts with cultural context to produce variations in male violence against women. Violence manifests itself in situations that represent loss of male control over the female partner, such as infidelity(real or imagined) or victim-instigated separation, which trigger extreme jealousy, possessiveness, and morbid rage...

DEF

A discrete period of sudden onset of intense fear or terror, often associated with feelings of impending doom.

OBS

During these attacks there are symptoms such as shortness of breath or smothering sensations; palpitations, pounding heart, or accelerated heart rate; chest pain or discomfort; choking; and fear of going crazy or losing control. Panic attacks may be unexpected, in which the onset of the attack is not associated with an obvious trigger and instead occurs "out of the blue, "or expected, in which the panic attack is associated with an obvious trigger, either internal or external.

DEF

Période délimitée, de survenue brutale, d'appréhension intense, de peur ou de terreur, souvent associée à des sentiments de catastrophe imminente.

CONT

Les crises de panique sont caractérisées par leur brutalité : elles arrivent par surprise et sont très intenses. Une crise se manifeste généralement par une activité cardio-respiratoire plus rapide et plus intense ainsi que par des symptômes neurosensoriels, comme des vertiges et des frissons. Le plus souvent, elle a lieu pendant quelques minutes, mais peut durer jusqu'à une demi-heure.

Subject field(s)
  • Insulators and Supporting Materials (Electr.)
CONT

The de-icer actuated by cartridge(DAC) can be used for emergency work on... transmission lines. The DAC is a portable device operated by remote control. It consists of a cylinder-and-piston system that can be suspended from a conductor or ground wire and fired by means of an electronic trigger. Installation from the ground is facilitated by the use of a line thrower. When the cartridge explodes, it generates a mechanical impulse that propagates along the span, breaking the ice instantaneously.

CONT

Le dispositif de déglaçage à cartouche (DAC) permet d’intervenir en urgence sur leréseau de transport [...] Le DAC est un appareil portatif que l’on actionne à distance avec une télécommande. Il s’agit d’un système cylindre et piston que l’on suspend au conducteur ou au câble de garde à déglacer et qu’on enclenche à l’aide d’un système électronique de mise à feu. Il peut être installé à partir du sol à l’aide d’un lance-corde. Il génère une impulsion mécanique qui se propage sur le conducteur ou le câble de garde, entre deux pylônes, ce qui a pour effet de briser la glace instantanément.

[The] LLWSAS system... is marketed under the trade name LOLA, for low level alert. LOLA is a turnkey system consisting of an array of wind sensors, located on the ground, at and around an airport... The LOLA system is directed by a IBM central control unit with varied communications(VHF/UHF radio or land line) to interrogate the remote sensor sites at least once every 10 seconds. Currently, the two-minute running average of the centre-field site is the reference value from which the shears(at 15-knot threshold value to trigger the alarms) are detected.

Building mechanicals includes heating/cooling regulators as well as security systems, alarms, and other safety devices. Potentially at-risk items for review are security or mechanical devices that detect motion, sound, light or temperature fluctuations, and emergency control devices that may trigger an automated emergency call(911 or UI Public Safety). Elevators, automated lighting systems, electronic vending machines, keyed access devices or continuous current monitors must also be reviewed for compliance.

CONT

On the other hand, for the air conditioning and ventilating systems, CHIYODA’s project team involves an individual building mechanical engineer who is not positioned under the building engineer, but equally positioned. Accordingly the design of building mechanicals such as air conditioning, ventilating, supply and return plumbing of water and other utilities, is advanced coordinated with the building design.

Part of the firing mechanism of some semi-automatic and automatic firearms which engages and holds the hammer on recocking and which returns it under control of the primary sear only after the trigger has been fully released by the shooter. It ensures the firing of only one shot for each trigger pressure when the weapon is set on semi-automatic, e. g. US M1, M14 and M16 rifles, Soviet AK47, AKM, AK74 rifles. Not to be confused with a disconnector. See also "disconnector".
