HARD CASE [33 records]

Record 1 2026-02-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases - Various
  • Mental Disorders
CONT

A spectrum disorder is a disorder that includes a range of linked conditions, sometimes also extending to include singular symptoms and traits. The different elements of a spectrum either have a similar appearance or are thought to be caused by the same underlying mechanism.

CONT

Because autism is a spectral disorder, it appears differently in every case.... These are broad ways to define it, but since each case of autism varies so highly, it is hard to define concrete symptoms tied to autism spectrum disorder.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies humaines diverses
  • Troubles mentaux
CONT

Un exemple de regroupement en psychiatrie peut être illustré à l'aide des différents concepts de troubles spectraux [spectrum disorder]. Le plus connu parmi les concepts de trouble spectral est la théorie selon laquelle les schizophrénies, les personnalités schizotypales, les personnalités paranoïaques et les troubles schizoaffectifs sont tous membres du «spectre schizophrénique», c'est-à-dire membres d'une espèce cohérente au point de vue génétique.

CONT

L'autisme est un trouble spectral, ce qui signifie que le même «nom» de diagnostic est donné à un certain nombre de troubles différents, mais étroitement liés.

CONT

Surface Chemistry. In the present case, we are looking at the surface chemistry of wood. There is a chemical surface and a physical surface.... Some properties of wood are controlled by surface chemistry and some by bulk chemistry. To a wood chemist, it is easy to describe the surface of a piece of 404 stainless steel. To a chemist working with stainless steel, it is easy to describe the surface of wood, but to a wood chemist, it is very hard to define the surface of wood.

CONT

Truck hunting is wheel set oscillation caused by the dynamic response of a railway car truck when operating above certain speeds. The truck oscillates between the rails with hard flange contact occurring at regular intervals of 30 to 50 feet. Truck hunting occurs on tangent track and is more severe where the track is stiff and where CWR [continuous welded rail] is laid. It normally does not begin until around 45 to 50 mph in the case of cars with worn wheels, and 55 to 60 mph for cars with new wheels.

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
CONT

Gyros that have stops(not many these days and not the case for the gyros in the CJ6) can be damaged by acro [acrobatics] when they are running. They should be stopped and preferably caged when doing acro. "Smooth" positive-G acro(no snap or tumbing maneuvers) shouldn’t hurt these gyros if they are powered down even if they are not caged.... When you subject that spinning gyro to your aircraft's twists and turns during aerobatics you are imparting more force on its bearings than you would were the gyro turned off and not spinning. It is usually bearing wear the trashes a gyro. This problem is especially severe when you are doing advanced aerobatics. It is really hard on the gyro bearings. I would rather have the gyros turned off to make them last longer. That we have caged or uncaged gyros is really irrelevant to the basic physics involved.

OBS

Gyro driven instruments should be caged before aerobatics to avoid tumbling the gyros which action can cause damage to the bearings. In addition, of course, the instrument is useless until the gyro is erected again.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
  • Instruments et équipement de bord (Constructions aéronautiques)
OBS

Les instruments gyroscopiques devraient toujours être bloqués avant d'effectuer des manœuvres acrobatiques et ce, pour éviter le culbutage qui risque d'endommager les coussinets. L'instrument qui subit un culbutage est rendu tout à fait inutilisable et le reste aussi longtemps que le gyroscope n'a pas repris sa position.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Paleontology
DEF

A (usually fossil) organism of uncertain relationships.

CONT

Permian reefs were mainly constructed by organisms referred to as problematica, calcareous algae, bryozoans, echinoderms, and calcareous sponges. Problematica(or, in this case, microproblematica because of their small size) are enigmatic organisms which are hard to classify because they do not seem to have left any clear descendants(or even close relatives) whose activities and remains might provide clues to their ancestors’ identity. These enigmatic organisms are therefore known to paleontologists as problematica(problematicum is the singular form) for their problematic relation to other living things.(Generally speaking, the farther back in time we look, the more problematica there are, because many extinct organisms have no clear descendants.

CONT

Where question exists as to the organic or inorganic origin of a specimen, the terms dubiofossil ..., problematicum ..., or problematic fossil are used.

OBS

problematicum (pl. problematica): While in theory almost any organism could be labelled a problematicum under [the given] definition (almost every species has some degree of uncertainty about its relationships, even if only within its genus), in practice the term is generally reserved for those taxa for which the uncertainty runs to a very high level, generally phylum level or higher. Also, this uncertainty generally should not be due to poor preservation alone, but reflect a true shortage of shared characters with modern phyla.

Subject field(s)
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
CONT

Natural anthrax when faced with oxygen changes into a "spore" which really is a little tightly wrapped hard case seed type of thing about the size of a large virus.... The actual designer germ form behaves the same but comes as a spore form to begin with, and then changes into a germ form only when in a friendly environment. The spore form of natural anthrax must come from a dead animal hide or fluid from a carcass and can infect the skin, the gut, or the lungs of man.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Microbiologie et parasitologie
CONT

Presque tous les microorganismes meurent rapidement s'ils sont exposés au soleil; ils supportent les températures élevées et sont facilement détruits par dessiccation. Bref, ils sont fragiles. Or, ce n'est pas le cas de l'agent du charbon bactéridien [anthrax] : c'est un organisme robuste; à l'état de spore, il peut survivre pendant des dizaines d'années et supporte d'importantes variations de milieu.

OBS

La bactérie Bacillus anthracis a la particularité de former des spores lorsque les conditions ne sont pas favorables. La spore est l'élément clé dans le cycle d'infection de l'anthrax, elle est à la fois la forme infectante qui enclenche l'infection après germination dans l'hôte et la forme de persistance dans l'environnement.

If the case for the prosecutor calls on the accused to meet charges rather than rest on the infirmities of prosecution's case, as in defendant's right, the time to meet them is when the case is fresh.(Dickey v.

CONT

Readying the electrotype shell. The metal layer deposited on the mould is called a shell and is 2/10 to 4/10 of a mm in thickness(8/1000 to 16/1000 of an inch)... The thickness is in function of the amount of time given to the process of electrolysis. Once the desired thickness is achieved the shell must be detached from the mould. This is not always an easy matter. If the mould is made of wax it can be removed with boiling water... Plastic moulds are removed by pulling them off, and lead moulds must be cut away along the edges. Shells are fragile and as they are not rigid they are sometimes damaged when being removed from the mould. In any case, shells must be backed to make them hard enough to print with. Backing is usually done by pouring a molten alloy made of lead(97%) and antimony(3%) onto the back of the shell.
