OBS

Navet : Plante potagère [...] dont on consomme surtout la racine, parfois les feuilles jeunes qui s'accommodent comme les épinards.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plywood
  • Wood Products
CONT

Half-round slicing is accomplished by mounting the heart of a flitch on an eccentric(off-center) holder and cutting off center.

OBS

half round: Veneer produced by rotary slicing a flitch, or log that has been sawn into two equal halves. The flitch is connected to a metal beam and rotated off center to produce a piece of veneer each time the beam revolves past the knife. The veneer produced is similar in appearance to flat sliced and rotary sliced veneer.

Record 5 1999-02-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
DEF

Of all the therapies that pharmacologists see on the horizon, perhaps the most tantalizing are ones that would cure disease by fixing damaged genes. Diseases such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, and severe combined immunodeficiency are termed "single-gene" disorders because a single abnormal gene makes an abnormal protein, which, in turn, results in the sumptoms of the disease. In theory, "genetic surgery" could cure these single-gene diseases by cutting out the abnormal gene and replacing it with a working one. One might even imagine diseases with more complicated genetic underpinnings, such as certain forms of heart disease, being conquered with more extensive "genetic surgery".

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
CONT

Enfin une intégration ciblée peut survenir. Depuis le 1er avril 1997, un programme de recherche pour le développement des techniques permettant la production en masse de sang artificiel a é mis sur pied [...] Dans un premier temps, trois groupes de chercheurs de médecins japonais étudieront les techniques actuellement disponibles pour la fabrication de plaquettes, d'hématies et de globulines. Ceci peut procéder d'une recombinaison homologue entre la séquence de transfert (donneuse) après appariement avec la séquence homologue endogène. Il s'agit d'une véritable chirurgie génétique où la régulation de l'expression génique reste naturelle. En outre, l'intégration ciblée d'une séquence réparatrice ne s'accompagne d'aucun risque de mutagénèse insertionnelle.
