Visualisé en microscopie électronique à partir de prélèvements de tissus de porcs présentant les signes cliniques de la MAP, ce circovirus est désormais détecté par culture cellulaire grâce à la mise au point d'un système de réplication sur cellules PK couplé à une technique IPMA. Le séquençage génomique après clonage par PCR du circovirus isolé à partir de tissus lésés révèle une homologie nucléotidique de 70 % avec le Circovirus de type non pathogène contaminant naturel de la lignée cellulaire PK15-CCL33. 1, record 2, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20r%C3%A9plication

The manufacture of foamed plastics products involves slightly different forming processes than those described above. The three types of foam plastic are blown, syntactic, and structural. Blown foam is an expanded matrix, similar to a natural sponge; syntactic foam is the encapsulation of hollow organic or inorganic micro spheres in the plastic matrix; and structural foam is a foamed core surrounded by a solid outer skin. All three types of foam plastic can be produced using processes such as injection, extrusion, and compression molding to create foam products in many of the same shapes as solid plastics products. The difference is that creating foam products requires processes such as the addition of chemical blowing agents, different mixing processes which add air to the plastic matrix, or a unique injection molding process used to make structural plastic. 1, record 3, English, - blown%20foam

CFCs and HCFCs are used in the manufacture of some blown plastic foams which are termed either rigid or flexible. Rigid plastic foams are mainly used in insulation but are also used for packaging material and as filler. Flexible foams are primarily used for articles such as upholstered furniture, car seats and mattresses. ... In rigid insulation foams, the CFCs and HCFCs are retained to improve insulation. In nonrigid foams the blowing agent is not fully retained. 2, record 3, English, - blown%20foam

Le polystyrène existe sous forme de mousses structurées, pour l'électronique et les machines de bureau ainsi que pour remplacer le bois dans le mobilier, et sous forme de polystyrène expansé pour des panneaux d'isolation acoustique ou thermique et pour les récipients alimentaires. Dans les deux cas, les produits non modifiés sont très inflammables et les types retardateurs d'inflammation contiennent des composés halogénés qui augmentent terriblement la densité, la toxicité et la corrosivité des fumées produites en cas d'incendie. Ils ne doivent pas être utilisés en quantités importantes. 2, record 4, French, - mousse%20structur%C3%A9e

Les mousses syntactiques. Un matériau alliant une faible densité à une résistance élevée à la pression. Caractéristiques générales des mousses syntactiques. Les mousses syntactiques, élaborées à partir d'une matrice de résine thermodurcissable et de charges sphériques creuses, sont des matériaux qui présentent l'avantage d'allier une masse spécifique très basse avec une résistance très élevée à la pression et une très faible absorption d'eau sous pression.
