  • Non-Surgical Treatment
  • Respiratory System
  • The Mouth
CONT

A MAD is an alternative treatment method [for sleep apnea] that people can try. It works by temporarily moving the jaw and tongue forward, which reduces throat constriction and prevents sleep apnea and snoring. Moving the tongue forward increases airway space.

  • Cavité buccale
CONT

L'orthèse d'avancée mandibulaire (OAM) est un appareil buccal amovible, conçu sur mesure par un dentiste ou un orthodontiste formé en sommeil, qui sert au traitement de l'apnée obstructive du sommeil et du ronflement. L'OAM vise à dégager les voies aériennes supérieures et à faciliter le passage de l'air pendant le sommeil en faisant avancer la mandibule inférieure de quelques millimètres.

CONT

My research will develop part of a systematic protocol for sampling, field evaluation, laboratory evaluation, and treatment of materials-related distress(MRD) in PCC pavements. Examples of MRD include freeze-thaw deterioration(F-T), D-cracking, alkali-aggregate reaction(AAR), alkali-silica reaction(ASR), alkali-carbonate reaction(ACR), internal sulfate attack, external sulfate attack, secondary ettringite formation(SEF), delayed ettringite formation(DEF), and chloride attack which may lead to deterioration of reinforcing steel, scaling, or spalling.

OBS

ettringite: A mineral, high-sulfate calcium sulfoaluminate (3CaO.Al2O3.3CaSO4.32H2O) also written as Ca6[Al(OH)62.24H2O[(SO4)3.(1-½)H2O occurring in nature or formed by sulfate attack on mortar and concrete; the product of the principal expansion-producing reaction in expansive cements; designated as "cement bacillus" in older literature. Compressible material used to fill a joint to prevent the infiltration of debris and to provide support for sealants.

OBS

Many authors use "ettringite" alone to designate secondary ettringite, but it is a generic term.

sel de Candlot : Sulfo-aluminate de calcium expansif Al2O3.3CaO.3CaSO4.nH2O provenant de la désintégration des mortiers par les eaux séléniteuses provoquée par la réaction produite entre l'aluminate de calcium hydrate contenu dans les ciments portlands et les eaux agressives rencontrées dans les sols ou en mer.

... NASA supports research in microgravity sciences through the Microgravity Research Program managed by the Microgravity Research Division(MRD) of OLMSA [Office of Life and Microgravity Science and Applications]. The mission of MRD is to "Obtain new knowledge and increase the understanding of gravity dependent phenomena obscured by the effects of gravity in biological, chemical and physical systems, and where feasible, to facilitate the application of that knowledge to academic and commercially viable products and processes. "The support of MRD for microgravity research is allocated across five specific disciplines : Biotechnology, Combustion Science, Fluid Physics, Fundamental Physics, and Materials Science.

Subject field(s)
  • Small Arms
DEF

One method used to measure ammunition and/or firearm consistency/precision(the ability to group). After determination of the mean point of impact of the group, the distance from this point to the centre of each impact is measured and recorded. The sum of these measurements divided by the number of impacts of the group is the Mean Radial Deviation(MRD).

When the color of a light source is visually identical to, or extremely close to that of the ideal radiator, which has been heated to a certain temperature, the temperature is defined as the color temperature of the light source and is expressed in degrees Kelvin (K). Taking 10 to the sixth times the reciprocal of the color temperature and calling this unit a "Mired" (micro reciprocal degree), the unit is used to represent conversion values. These filters are used for either lowering or raising the color temperature of a light source.
