Subject field(s)
  • Visual Disorders
CONT

Solar maculopathy(SM) appears as a consequence of direct or indirect visual exposure to sunlight, being caused by light radiation and its photochemical effects. It is characterized by a bilateral decrease in visual acuity(VA) accompanied by central scotoma, with the dominant eye being more commonly affected.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Troubles de la vision

Record 5 2009-09-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Land Forces
CONT

With respect to land capabilities, the Canadian Forces will... continue to transform into a modern, combat-capable medium-weight force, based primarily on wheeled light armoured vehicles, including the mobile gun system and the multi-mission effects vehicle(to replace the direct-fire role of the Leopard tank), a new platform to deliver indirect fire, and a new fleet of medium transport trucks.

CONT

A medium force balances the combat power of a heavy weight force with more agile deployability through the exploitation of technologies that provide the high levels of lethality and protection formerly provided by mass, shock action and weight.

OBS

medium force; medium-weight force; MWF: terms and abbreviation officially approved by the Army Terminology Panel.

Key term(s)
  • medium weight force

French

Domaine(s)
  • Forces terrestres
CONT

En ce qui concerne les capacités terrestres, les Forces canadiennes devront [...] continuer de se transformer en une force d'envergure moyenne qui soit moderne et apte au combat, fondée principalement sur des véhicules blindés légers à roues, y compris le système de canon mobile et le véhicule à effets multimissions (visant à remplacer le char Leopard pour le tir direct), une nouvelle plate-forme pour les fonctions de tir indirect et un nouveau parc de camions de transport de poids moyen.

CONT

Une force moyenne équilibre la puissance de combat d'une force lourde et une déployabilité plus agile grâce à l'exploitation de technologies qui lui offrent les hauts degrés de létalité et de protection anciennement assurés par la concentration, l'effet de choc et la masse.

OBS

force moyenne; force de masse moyenne : termes uniformisés par le Groupe d'experts en terminologie de l'Armée de terre.

While there are several different methods in the silk screen process which result in different levels of quality, the process is generally the same. A frame of either wood or metal is stretched with a fine mesh fabric of silk, nylon, polyester or stainless steel. A photographic emulsion(called direct emulsion) is then either applied to the mesh, prior to exposure, or a photographic emulsion film(call indirect emulsion) is prepared prior to exposure with a hi-output UV [ultra violet] light source with a film positive containing the information to be printed, one color at a time...
