Subject field(s)
  • Symptoms (Medicine)
DEF

[A] condition in which a second concussion occurs before a first concussion has properly healed, causing rapid and severe brain swelling and often catastrophic results.

CONT

Second impact syndrome can result from even a very mild concussion that occurs days or weeks after the initial concussion. What is Second Impact Syndrome? In patients who sustain a second concussion when the first one has not fully healed, the brain loses its ability to auto regulate intracranial and cerebral perfusion pressure. This may lead to cerebral edema(severe swelling of the brain) and possible brain herniation. Loss of consciousness after the initial injury followed by secondary brain damage creates ionic fluxes, acute metabolic changes, and cerebral blood flow alterations. All of these characteristics enhance the vulnerability of the brain and greatly increase the risk of death, even if the second injury was far less intense.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Symptômes (Médecine)
CONT

Sans conteste, le plus tragique dénouement qui puisse survenir dans la phase aiguë à la suite de commotions cérébrales répétées s’avère le syndrome du second impact (SSI). Le SSI surgit habituellement lorsqu’un athlète subit un coup à la tête avant la disparition des symptômes aigus d’une commotion cérébrale récente [...]. Dans les secondes ou minutes qui suivent le second impact, l’athlète s’écroule typiquement au sol dans un état semi-comateux. Les conséquences du SSI sont bien souvent catastrophiques, allant de séquelles permanentes au cerveau au décès de l’athlète. Des études s’intéressant aux mécanismes d’action du syndrome du second impact font état d’une encéphalopathie diffuse, principalement caractérisée par une enflure du cortex cérébral («diffuse cerebral swelling»), qui entraîne de sévères complications [...]. Bien qu’il s’agisse de phénomènes plutôt rares [...], leurs conséquences catastrophiques justifient à elles seules que les cliniciens œuvrant auprès de la clientèle sportive adoptent une attitude particulièrement conservatrice dans la gestion du retour au jeu des athlètes [...].

The first enactment of revenue-sharing legislation was the inclusion of the Coastal Energy Impact Program(CEIP) in the Coastal Zone Management Act in 1976. The CEIP provided grants, loans, and loan guarantees to assist coastal states with costs of public services, infrastructure, and preventing or ameliorating the loss of valuable environmental or recreational resources caused by coastal and OCS oil and gas development. Allocation of funds under this program to individual states was based on the amount of OCS acreage leased for oil and gas development(50% weight), volume of oil and gas produced offshore each state(25% weight), and volume of oil and gas first landed in each state(25% weight). The Reagan administration stopped funding the CEIP and Congress repealed the program in 1990.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
DEF

The resistance to flow exerted on the perimeter or contact surface of a body of water moving in a stream channel or conduit due to the roughness characteristic of the confining surface, which induces turbulence and consequent loss of energy. Energy losses arising from excessive turbulence, impact at obstructions, curves, eddies, and pronounced channel changes are not ordinarily ascribed to hydraulic friction.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
DEF

Force opposée à l'écoulement, qui s'exerce à la surface de contact d'un courant et des parois qui le limitent. Elle comprend généralement les tourbillons et les courants transversaux de l'écoulement turbulent, dus à la nature rugueuse de la surface limite, à la courbure modérée et aux modifications du canal ou de la conduite.

Subject field(s)
  • Air Pollution
CONT

In more remote sensitive areas many components of the terrestrial and aquatic eco-systems are at risk-trees, soils, lakes and biota(Figure 7). While pollution damage near sources, such as occurs around sulfidic ore smelting operations, is relatively easy to detect, and often provides striking examples of the impact of acid deposition, damage at greater distances from sources, such as the acidification of remote lakes and the loss of their fisheries, is often less obvious.
