English

Subject field(s)
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
  • Drugs and Drug Addiction
  • The Eye
CONT

HGN [horizontal gaze nystagmus] is an involuntary jerking of the eye that occurs naturally as the eyes gaze to the side. HGN is exacerbated by certain classes of drugs. During the HGN test, the eyes of an individual are observed as the individual follows a slowly moving object, such as a pen, horizontally with his or her eyes as it is moved from side to side. The officer separately observes the left and right eye for three signs : lack of smooth pursuit(present, absent) ;distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation(present, absent) ;and nystagmus onset before 45°(present, absent).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes diagnostiques (Médecine)
  • Drogues et toxicomanie
  • Oeil
CONT

Le test du nystagmus horizontal vise l'observation de trois points particuliers : la qualité de la poursuite du globe oculaire, la présence du nystagmus aux extrémités du champ de vision et l'apparition du nystagmus avant un angle de 45 degrés. Le test est effectué à la main par le policier. Il demande au suspect de faire le suivi d'un repère (crayon ou autre objet) qu'il déplace devant le visage du centre vers l'extrémité extérieure du champ de vision.

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Biotechnology
DEF

[The alternative form of a gene that] is capable of expression when carried by only one of a pair of homologous chromosomes.

CONT

Dominant alleles show their effect even if the individual only has one copy of the allele(... heterozygous [state]). For example, the allele for brown eyes is dominant, therefore you only need one copy of the "brown eye" allele to have brown eyes(although, with two copies you will still have brown eyes).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
  • Biotechnologie
DEF

[Forme alternative d'un gène] dont l'effet se manifeste lorsqu'il est présent sur un seul des deux chromosomes de la paire (état hétérozygote).

CONT

Un allèle dominant est celui qui va laisser s'exprimer la caractéristique qu'il code. Il peut n'être présent que sur un seul allèle du gène. Par exemple, l'allèle codant la couleur marron des yeux est dominant.

DEF

[The alternative form of a gene] that is incapable of expression unless it is carried by both members of a pair of homologous chromosomes.

CONT

Recessive alleles only show their effect if the individual has two copies of the allele(... homozygous [state]). For example, the allele for blue eyes is recessive, therefore to have blue eyes you need to have two copies of the "blue eye" allele.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Astronomy
CONT

Deep-sky object(abbreviated as DSO) is a term designating any astronomical object that is not an individual star or Solar System object(such as Sun, Moon, planet, comet, etc.)... The classification is used for the most part by amateur astronomers to denote visually observed faint naked eye and telescopic objects such as star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. This distinction is practical and technical, implying a variety of instruments and techniques appropriate to observation, and does not distinguish the nature of the object itself.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Astronomie
CONT

En astronomie, les objets du ciel profond sont les objets du ciel nocturne autres que ceux du Système solaire (les planètes, les comètes et les astéroïdes), les étoiles simples et les étoiles multiples. Généralement ces objets ne sont pas visibles à l'œil nu, mais les plus brillants d'entre eux peuvent être vus avec un petit télescope ou même avec de bonnes jumelles.

  • Visual Disorders
DEF

The condition of vision commonly seen after the middle forties, due to diminished power of accommodation from impaired elasticity of the crystalline lens or a weakening of the ciliary muscle, whereby the near point of distinct vision is removed farther from the eye so that the individual has difficulties in focusing on near objects.

Both allergic and irritant mechanisms have been proposed as explanations for eye symptoms. Shorter tear-film break-up time, a measure of tear film instability, is associated with increased levels of symptoms. "Fat-foam thickness" measurement and photography for documentation of ocular erythema have also been used. Some authors attribute eye symptoms at least in part to increased individual susceptibility as measured by those factors. In addition, office workers with ocular symptoms have been demonstrated to blink less frequently when working at video display terminals.

Frame Representation. A frame is a collection of slots and values that is used to represent a piece of knowledge. For example a "person frame" could have slots named : name, sex, age, hair color, eye color, height, and weight. A particular person would then have all the slots filled in with the correct values. Also, most frame-based systems extend this idea to inheritance. For example, a person is an example of a mammal, which has its own slots. A system can then make inferences based on these inherited values(e. g., mammals are warm blooded, therefore "Joe" is warm blooded). Because of the emphasis on CML in Chapter 4, this book sometimes refers to frames as being two dimensional, with rows being individual frames and columns being slots.
