Dissecting aneurysm... is a lesion which occurs when blood is forced through an intimal defect into the wall of an artery, under arterial pressure. This may lead to extension of a column of blood that may travel for a considerable distance along the arterial media, and separate the wall into two planes--hence, the word "dissection. "(Actually, the term "dissecting aneurysm" is a misnomer, since there is not actually an arterial dilatation. A more accurate term is "dissecting hematoma. ").... There are two ways to classify dissecting aneurysms according to their location. The simpler of these systems designates a dissecting aneurysm as "type A" if it involves the ascending aorta and "type B" if it is confined to the descending aorta. 1, record 6, English, - dissecting%20hematoma

El término aneurisma también se usa para una gravísima enfermedad, el aneurisma disecante. En realidad no se trata de un verdadero aneurisma sino de un hematoma disecante producido por una rotura de la capa íntima y parte de la capa media de la arteria, generalmente la aorta. Tras la rotura, la sangre pasa de la luz arterial al interior de la pared y la presión sanguínea va despegando y disecando las paredes. La arteria está dilatada en una zona pero la pared de dicha zona no contiene las tres capas de un verdadero aneurisma. La disección aórtica se produce por una enfermedad del colágeno que debilita la capa media y, con frecuencia, se asocia al Síndrome de Marfan (759.82). 1, record 6, Spanish, - hematoma%20disecante

The following principles should apply to Low-Impact Whale Watching : a) Whale watching activity must allow cetaceans to continue whatever behaviour they are engaged in at the time of contact. b) The goal of whale watching should not be interaction but observation of undisturbed cetacean behaviour. When cetaceans decide to interact with whale watchers, the cetaceans should always remain in control of the situation : that is, they should be free to determine the duration and nature of any interaction. c) On a long-term basis, whale watching should not lead to changes in cetacean group behaviour or dynamics, a change in habitat use, or a decline in reproductive success. 1, record 10, English, - low%2Dimpact%20whale%20watching

Il n'existe pas d'équivalent français figé qui puisse rendre parfaitement et succinctement l'expression elliptique anglaise «low-impact whale watching». Un terme comme «observation douce», sur le modèle de «navigation douce», pourrait convenir, à condition d'éviter les risques de confusion puisque «doux» se dit de ce qui agit sans brutalité non seulement sur l'environnement, mais aussi sur l'organisme, et pourrait conférer au terme le sens d'une observation exercée dans des conditions peu exigeantes sur le plan physique, en tout confort pour les touristes par exemple. On peut aussi avoir recours à des périphrases, du type «qui ne dérange pas les baleines, qui ne porte pas atteinte aux baleines et à leur environnement naturel», «pratiquée de manière à limiter les effets néfastes sur les baleines et leur environnement», etc. Il est à noter qu'il s'agit ici de ménager les baleines elles-mêmes davantage que leur milieu naturel. 2, record 10, French, - observation%20%C3%A9cologique%20des%20baleines
Record number: 10, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Les expressions «observation de baleines à faible impact (sur l'environnement)» ou «à effets minimums (sur l'environnement)» sont mal formées : on peut avoir l'impression que les locutions adjectivales «à faible impact» et «à effets minimums» se rapportent aux baleines et non au mode d'observation. En outre, ce sont davantage les baleines elles-mêmes plutôt que leur environnement que l'on veut ménager. Il est aussi à noter qu'un «impact» ou un «effet» (qui correspondent à l'anglais «impact») peuvent être bons ou mauvais, et qu'il est donc préférable d'y adjoindre un adjectif comme «néfaste» pour bien rendre la notion. 2, record 10, French, - observation%20%C3%A9cologique%20des%20baleines

The purpose of the sand is to act as a cushion and allow expansion of the drywell during operation. The steel containment is in contact with sand in those areas where corrosion has been detected. The containment material is ASTM A-212 Grade B carbon steel plate. The licensee stated that the outside surface was protected with a red lead coating from above the drywell down to about the 10-ft. level, which means that the interface between the lead paint and the unprotected steel was in contact with wet sand. Red lead protects steel by providing a stable and impenetrable surface, but the steel is sacrificial with respect to the lead in dilute, acidic water conditions. 2, record 12, English, - red%20lead%20coating

Shaving the layers of the film from the emulsion takes practice and patience. An over anxious retoucher usually ends up with an uneven job, or worse yet a few deep gouges. Keep the blade in motion, moving with small strokes in one direction-never back and forth. After etching, apply retouching fluid to the emulsion if lead will be used. Care must be taken when applying the fluid to avoid lines of demarcation. When applying retouching fluid or "dope", be sure the fluid is either fresh or thin. Thick, tacky retouching fluid will create a dust problem. Artist turpentine of methanol are good thinners to add to thickened fluid. Again, handle all chemicals with caution. Apply the retouching fluid only within the facial area when working on b/w portraiture. 3, record 13, English, - retouching%20fluid

Zipping electrons more quickly from point A to point B is only one way that heterostructures could lead to speedier semiconductor devices. Heterostructure(or superlattice) devices delineate features not by adding impurities but by changing the host material itself. As designers push toward gate lengths of only 0. 2-0. 3 micron, heterostructure transistors loom as the most likely avenue for ultra-large-scale integration. 1, record 15, English, - heterostructure%20semiconductor%20device
