Spontaneous coronary artery dissection — sometimes referred to as SCAD — is an emergency condition that occurs when a tear forms in a blood vessel in the heart. SCAD can slow or block blood flow to the heart, causing a heart attack, heart rhythm problems(arrythmias) or sudden death. 1, record 1, English, - spontaneous%20coronary%20artery%20dissection

La dissection spontanée de l'artère coronaire (DSAC) est un problème rare, mais grave, qui se produit lorsque les vaisseaux sanguins du cœur se déchirent. Cette déchirure peut ralentir ou bloquer le flux sanguin vers le cœur, ce qui peut endommager le muscle du cœur ou provoquer une arythmie cardiaque. 1, record 1, French, - dissection%20spontan%C3%A9e%20de%20l%27art%C3%A8re%20coronaire

Skin slides or flows are surficial debris movements on rocky slopes. They occur in the thin mineral soil veneer and the organic cover on relatively steep slopes (>35°). 2, record 2, English, - skin%20flow
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
On less steep tundra slopes, ice-rich permafrost is commonly insulated from thaw by stable, vegetated regolith. If sudden slippage of regolith occurs, exposure of the permafrost may lead to seasonal retrogression or failure. Alternatively, deeper penetration of thaw into the permafrost itself may induce rapid slippage in which the surface regolith is passively rafted away by failure of the thawed, ice-rich material below.... Such rapid failure of the active layer are commonly referred to as skin flows. 4, record 2, English, - skin%20flow

The mineral clogging mechanism. Due to the drag force of the water at the interface between the soil and a drain pipe, soil particles may be carried into the pipe via its slots. This process can never be prevented completely, but can be counter-acted by installing an envelope material, often a geotextile, around the drain. Generally, two types of mineral clogging can be detected which are referred to as primary and secondary mineral clogging. Primary clogging is a consequence of the sudden drastic changes in the soil/water boundary conditions, caused by the installation of the subsurface drainage system, and the resulting water flow, including particle transport due to the high hydraulic gradients, towards the newly installed pipes. Secondary clogging is defined as particle transport into filters and/or pipes, in the long term;... 1, record 3, English, - primary%20mineral%20clogging

Colmatage minéral. Il existe deux risques majeurs de colmatage : le "clogging", qui est provoqué par la pénétration des particules à l'intérieur du géotextile (...) et donc réduit la perméabilité de ce dernier.

L'eau qui circule est chargée de particules solides en suspension, celles-ci s'accumulent sur le filtre ou au sein du filtre en réduisant progressivement la perméabilité. Le débit diminue, il y a colmatage. (...) Les risques de colmatage du filtre et du drain dépendent de la quantité de ces particules fines quittant le sol et qui est elle-même déterminée par le choix du filtre. Pour éviter le colmatage du filtre, on pourrait choisir un géotextile dont la texture serait plus serrée que le diamètre des particules fines, mais elle serait quasi imperméable et arrêterait même l'eau. 2, record 6, French, - colmatage%20min%C3%A9ral
