Record 3 2012-05-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flexography (Printing)
DEF

A method of rotary letterpress printing that uses flexible rubber or photopolymer plates and fast-drying, solvent-based fluid inks.

OBS

aniline printing : An early name for flexography when using fluid fast-drying inks with aniline dyes.

OBS

The term aniline printing was abandoned when the term flexography was adopted in 1952.

French

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Flexografía (Imprenta)
DEF

Técnica de impresión [...] con formas en relieve que llevan un clisé de goma o de plástico flexible e imprimen con tintas fluidas de disolvente muy volátil y, por ende, de secado rápido.

Record 4 2011-12-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Education (General)
DEF

The ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, [television], radio and film, to digital social networks.

CONT

Basically, transliteracy is concerned with what it means to be literate in the 21st century. It analyzes the relationship between people and technology, most specifically social networking, but is fluid enough to not be tied to any particular technology. It focuses more on the social uses of technology, whatever that technology may be. This terminology is new and the study of transliteracy is in the early stages, so this definition is likely to evolve.

Domaine(s)
  • Pédagogie (Généralités)

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases - Various
  • Genetics
DEF

A progressive encephalopathy with calcification of the basal ganglia, excessive number of lymphocytes in the cerebrospinal fluid(lymphocytosis), brain atrophy, and early death.

OBS

Elevated level of inteferon-alpha in the brain fluids - in the absence of infection - is a marker for the disorder.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies humaines diverses

DEF

Encéphalopathie familiale à transmission autosomale récessive associant des calcifications des noyaux gris centraux, une atteinte de la myéline et une lymphocytose du liquide céphalo-rachidien (LCR).

OBS

Ces encéphalopathies se présentent cliniquement comme une foetopathie virale et le diagnostic n'est encore souvent porté que lorsqu'un second cas apparaît dans la famille.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

John Songyin worked on the solar power system for about five years, into the early 1970s. At that time we were also looking at the Mercury Rankine System, for use in long-duration space missions, the Rankine being similar to a steam power plant, but instead of water you’re using mercury as the working fluid. It goes through the same cycle of boiling and condensing and activating a turbine which generates electricity.... The whole cycle would be closed, and the same mercury would be circulated.

Record 7 2008-11-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Turbines
  • Food Industries
  • Aircraft Systems
DEF

A rotary engine that extracts energy from a fluid flow.

OBS

The simplest turbines have one moving part, a rotor assembly, which is a shaft with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades, or the blades react to the flow, so that they rotate and impart energy to the rotor. Early turbine examples are windmills and water wheels. Gas, steam, and water turbines have a casing around the blades that contains and controls the working fluid.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Turbines
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
  • Circuits des aéronefs
CONT

Une turbine est un dispositif rotatif destiné à utiliser la force d'un fluide (eau, vapeur, air, gaz de combustion), dont le couple est transmis au moyen d'un arbre. L'énergie du fluide, caractérisée par sa vitesse et son enthalpie, est partiellement convertie en énergie mécanique pour entraîner un alternateur, une pompe ou tout autre récepteur mécanique rotatif.

OBS

turbine : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

CONT

The main purpose for investigating postmortem metabolism of muscle is to help explain and control things such as PSE that have a practical, commercial importance in the meat trade. Watery pork that appears unusually pale and which has a high fluid loss when cut and presented for sale has been around for a long time, with the first scientific reports dating back to the early 1900s. In the scientific literature the condition is most commonly called PSE, standing for pale, soft, and exudative pork... PSE pork that was avoided in the fresh state by a customer because of its unattractive appearance is just as likely to be rejected by a meat processor.

Record 10 2002-11-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

Early telemetry from the spin-stabilized IMAGE spacecraft indicated that the vehicle's initial nutation was not decaying. This behavior was especially puzzling because the spacecraft's passive nutation damper behaved as expected while IMAGE was attached to the spinning upper stage.... In a partially-filled ring damper, the excess kinetic energy associated with nutation is dissipated by fluid viscosity when inertial forces cause the liquid to move through the tube. However, post-launch analysis indicated that the IMAGE damper liquid was immobilized by surface tension. This was an unanticipated consequence of the vehicle's low spin rate.
