The set point theory [is] arguably the most influential and debated theory of body weight control. It suggests that like temperature in a room controlled by a thermostat, body weight(or body fat) is controlled by an equivalent device(ponderostat, adipostat) residing in the hypothalamus. Borrowing from the engineering vocabulary, this device receives feedback input from the controlled parameter(room temperature, body weight or body fat), and generates an error signal in a comparator if this feedback signal is deviating from a preset reference value(set point). The error signal is used to turn up or down any mechanisms that determine the level of the controlled parameter(heat production or dissipation in the case of room temperature, metabolizable energy-in or energy lost in the case of body weight/adiposity). 4, record 1, English, - ponderostat

L'hypothalamus joue un rôle central dans le contrôle, voire la régulation des réserves énergétiques. C'est le site d'intégration d'un ensemble de mécanismes régulateurs qui intervient pour satisfaire la «valeur de consigne» d'un système réglant que l'on désigne sous le nom de «pondérostat» ou «adipostat». On peut donc considérer que toute déviation pathologique ou pathogène des réserves énergétiques implique cette structure centrale. 2, record 1, French, - pond%C3%A9rostat

Weight loss. Unexplained loss of weight is a warning signal for the physician. A weight loss of 10 or 15 pounds in an otherwise apparently healthy adult may be the first sign of illness. Early diabetes mellitus, neoplastic disease, hyperthyroidism, kidney failure, loss of appetite, frequently due to emotional problems, prolonged infection, chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract may cause weight loss. 2, record 2, English, - weight%20loss

Le sonomètre intégrateur ressemble à l'audiodosimètre. Il établit un niveau sonore équivalent sur une période d'enregistrement des bruits. La principale différence est qu'il ne marque pas l'exposition personnelle, puisqu'il est tenu à la main plutôt que d'être porté sur soi. Le sonomètre intégrateur établit les niveaux sonores équivalents en un endroit précis, sur un bruit donné, même si le niveau sonore réel de ce bruit varie continuellement. Cet instrument utilise un taux d'échange préprogrammé avec une constante temporelle équivalant au mode LENT du sonomètre ordinaire. 2, record 6, French, - sonom%C3%A8tre%20int%C3%A9grateur
