Record 3 2014-10-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeroindustry
CONT

Some aircraft manufacturers provide reference points which the pilot uses while making the seat adjustments.... The intent, of course, is to have the pilot adjust the seat in order for the eyes of the pilot to be at the optimum location for visibility, inside and outside the cockpit, as well as the correct position for access to the cockpit switches and knobs... This optimum position for the pilot's eyes is referred to as the design eye reference point.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Constructions aéronautiques
CONT

Certains constructeurs d'avions ajoutent des repères dans le poste de pilotage que le pilote peut utiliser comme point de référence visuelle pour pouvoir placer son siège dans la meilleure position possible. [...] Le pilote peut ainsi placer son siège de façon à pouvoir jouir de la meilleure visibilité à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du poste de pilotage et pour avoir facilement accès aux interrupteurs et aux commandes. Cette position optimale, appelée point de référence visuelle calculé (DERP), est une position statique basée sur la conception du poste de pilotage.

Subject field(s)
  • Effects of Pollution
CONT

Since alteration means change, change in the environment is synonymous with alteration. In this case, it is a change for the worse. Often the effects of alteration are neither immediately discernible nor accurately predictable. Who can foresee what will happen to a 1970 American baby who is born in an air-conditioned hospital, taken home in an air-conditioned car, reared in an air-conditioned apartment, schooled in an air-conditioned school and amused by recreational activities in an air-conditioned bubble? This unnatural alteration of normal rises and falls in daily temperature may result in eventual genetic changes. And what alteration is being wrought on the urban atmosphere during the summer while hundreds of thousands of air-conditioned apartments and homes pump their waste heat out into the atmosphere and the occupants undergo alteration of temperature and humidity inside? Undesirable levels of pollutants-toxic and otherwise-of course cause alteration of air, water and soil.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Effets de la pollution
OBS

La source CILFG-20 («Dict. des secours d'urgence en cas de catastrophe», par William S. Gunn) définit le terme «altération de l'environnement» comme une «Modification, favorable ou défavorable, de l'état de l'environnement». Selon nous, cependant, «altération» ne peut en fait être considéré comme un synonyme de «modification» que si la modification est défavorable (ce qui est presque toujours le cas néanmoins). En effet, altérer veut dire «modifier en mal l'état normal d'une chose, dénaturer l'état normal de quelque chose» [d'après le Grand dict. encycl. Larousse].

Record 7 2002-07-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nervous System
CONT

Compression neuropathy :-damage to a peripheral nerve by pressure-can occur anywhere along its course, although certain sites more vulnerable-source of pressure may be external : such as ulnar neuropathy from leaning on the elbow, or a peroneal palsy from pressure from a cast or brace-compression may be from source inside body : nerve may be angulated by adjacent tissues within the body such as a bony callus, synovial thickening, ganglia, tumors, fibrous bands, or normal or aberrant muscle.-compression may be acute, continuous or intermittent-recovery from compression neuropathy can be partial or complete depending on the degree of injury, type of injury and systemic factors.-treatment should be focussed on relieving the compression on the nerve.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Système nerveux
CONT

Les mononeuropathies et mononeuropathies multiples : Les membres inférieurs sont le plus souvent intéressés (cruralgies). Les membres supérieurs sont moins souvent touchés. Il s'agit alors souvent d'une neuropathie compressive, telle une compression du médian dans le canal carpien.

CONT

Neuropathie compressive fémorale subaiguë due à un hématome de la loge iliaque.

Record 8 1987-07-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Boring and Drilling (Mines)
DEF

A borehole-surveying device consisting of a gimbal-mounted open frame, rigidly enclosing a graduated circle inside of which is a gimbal-mounted compass. This assemblage, inserted in a glass tube filled with a melted gelatin mixture is placed inside a tightly sealed brass tube or clinometer. When the tube is lowered into, and suspended at a point in a borehole for a sufficient length of time to allow the gelatin to set or jell, the position of the gimbal parts becomes fixed in the solidified gelatin, thereby providing a means whereby the compass course and inclination of the borehole at a specific point may be determined.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments scientifiques
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Sondage et forage miniers
OBS

La Carlson Compass (...) est d'un principe analogue [à celui du Tro-Pari], mais la boussole est immergée dans un liquide à base de gélatine qui se gélifie au bout d'un temps donné. Les températures élevées empêchent le fonctionnement normal de cet appareil. Pour éviter la perturbation du champ magnétique provoquée par l'acier des tiges, ces instruments sont en bronze et sont fixés à des tiges de cuivre ou d'aluminium d'une dizaine de mètres de longueur.
