L'orlistat (Xenical). Ce médicament a pour effet d'entraver l'enzyme responsable de l'absorption des graisses dans le tube digestif. Il empêche ainsi l'absorption d'environ 30 % des graisses alimentaires (triglycérides), ce qui équivaut à une réduction calorique de 150 à 200 calories/jour pour un apport journalier de 1800 calories.

CONT

Rimonabant, as a selective CB1 receptor [cannabinoid receptor 1] endocannabinoid blocker, is believed to act in two areas: the brain, where it reduces hunger, hence promoting weight loss; and in adipose tissue, where it increases levels of adiponectin, the cytokine secreted by fat tissue.

DEF

A category of obesity that is defined for adults as a body mass index greater than or equal to 40.0 kg/m² and is associated with a high risk of developing many illnesses.

CONT

According to the NIH [National Institutes of Health] guidelines, individuals are stratified into six weight classes depending solely on their BMI [body mass index]: underweight (BMI [less than] 18.5), normal weight (BMI: 18.5-24.9), overweight (BMI: 25.0-29.9), moderate obesity (BMI: 30.0-34.9), severe obesity (BMI: 35.0-40.0), and extreme obesity (BMI: 40.0+).

CONT

Morbid obesity, also referred to as clinically severe obesity or extreme obesity, is a chronic disease that afflicts approximately 9 million adult Americans.... The morbidity and mortality risk from being overweight is proportional to its degree. Individuals with morbid obesity, therefore, have the highest risk for developing numerous illnesses that often reduce mobility and quality of life due to their excess weight. In particular, type 2 diabetes, gallbladder disease and osteoarthritis have been found to increase concurrently with higher BMI [body mass index]. Premature death, a 20-year shorter life span, has also been found in individuals with morbid obesity. All of the systems that make the body function are affected by morbid obesity.

DEF

Catégorie d'obésité qui est définie chez l'adulte par un indice de masse corporelle supérieur ou égal à 40,0 kg/m² et risque fortement de s'accompagner de divers troubles ou maladies.

CONT

Qu'entend-on par obésité morbide? C'est l'obésité qui est susceptible de s'accompagner des complications sérieuses, appelées aussi co-morbidités : hypertension artérielle, diabète, maladies coronariennes, insuffisance respiratoire entre autres. Par le fait de ces co-morbidités, cette forme de l'obésité altère la qualité de vie et raccourcit l'espérance de vie des sujets. L'obésité à potentialité morbide représente 100 % ou plus d'excès par rapport au poids idéal ou encore plus précis[ément], un indice de masse corporelle [...] de 40 kg/m² ou plus.

Factors influencing the filtration performance of geotextile can be classified into four categories-external conditions(hydraulic gradient and loading state) ;(bio) chemical conditions of fluent(pH, hardness(e. g. [Fe], [Mn], [Mg], [Ca]), redox potential(Eh) for iron ochre, BOD and COD of water(substrate type/concentration), osmotic pressure and dissolved oxygen) ;the properties of basement material(coefficient of uniformity(Cu), coefficient of gradation(Cc), plastic index(PI), double hydrometer ratio(DHR) for dispersive clay, particle shape and grain hardness for granular soil, compaction degree of soil and saturation degree) ;and the properties of geotextile(filtration opening size(FOS), apparent opening size(AOS), fiber density, textile bulk density(mass/area), porosity, thickness and fiber material)... screen test results clearly indicated that the height of self filtration is proportional to the constriction size(Dc) of granular filter used. Additionally, they suggested the filter opening size value should be within the range between d50 and d80 for linearly graded soil and within the flat range in gap graded soil.

Vegetation monitoring has been one of the main focal points of remote sensing study since remote sensing research began. Many vegetation indices, using red and infrared reflectance, have been devised. The Perpendicular Vegetation Index(PVI), Ratio Index and Normalized Vegetation Index are among the well known indices of this type. The Perpendicular Vegetation Index, proposed by Richardson and Wiegand(1977), was defined as the distance from the soil line on a scatter plot of near infrared(NIR) versus red reflectance. The pixel vectors of bare land in such plots vary with soil moisture content. The PVI was developed as a vegetation index to effectively monitor the vegetation biomass without being affected by differences in soil background.

Ottawa : Natural Resources Canada, Geological Survey of Canada, 1998--. HTML. Database. Internet(WWW). ""DINOFLAJ is a database system containing a current classification of fossil and living dinoflagellates down to generic rank, and an index of fossil dinoflagellates at generic, specific, and infraspecific ranks. Dinoflagellates are single-celled organisms that have two distinctive flagella during at least part of their life cycle and/or a special type of nucleus called a dinokaryon. They are probably best known as a principal cause of "red tides" and paralytic shellfish poisoning. A glossary and an extensive list of references for modern and fossil dinoflagellate taxonomic references are included, and all information is hyperlinked for convenient browsing. The system is available in two forms : a web site and a CD-ROM version. ""As of October 1, 1998, the full version of DINOFLAJ will be available online or on CD-ROM. "

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
CONT

Interferometric Refractometer. A third type of refractometer(Optilab) uses the shearing-interferometer principle for measurement.... The light source beam(e. g. 546 nm) is divided into two parts by a beam splitter, and fall on the detector. The difference in refractive index between the sample and the reference produces a difference in optical path length and this is measured by the interferometer in fractions of light wavelengths. Response of this device is linear, and the sensitivity is claimed by the manufacturer to be 10-fold greater than other RI detectors.

Deflection RI detectors have the advantage of a wide range of linearity; also, only one cell is needed for the entire refractive index range. The cell in this detector is generally not as small nor as cleanly swept as the cells of the Fresnel type, but is less sensitive to contaminants on cell windows.

Measuring Pavement Roughness... The Rolling Straightedge or Profilograph type of device has been used in several areas, including California and Michigan... where there are truck mounted versions. The University of Michigan device records a continuous chart profile in each wheel track. Two sets of bogey wheels nine metres(30 ft) apart provide reference point from which vertical displacement is measured by a recording wheel at the midpoint. The cumulative vertical displacement per mile is termed the roughness index.

DEF

A numerical quantity used as an index to characterize the type of flow in a hydraulic structure in which elastic forces, in conjunction with the resisting force of inertia, influence the motion of the liquid. It is the ratio of inertia forces to elastic forces. It is equal to a characteristic velocity of the system, which may be the mean, surface, or maximum velocity, divided by the kinematic elasticity of the liquid; all expressed in consistent units in order that the combinations will be dimensionless. The number is useful in the study of water hammer.
