Targeted universalism is a blended approach that recognizes that universalism can still result in an unacceptable health gap, and that a targeted approach can have little effect on the slope of the health gradient. Targeted universalism defines goals for all, identifies the obstacles faced by specific groups, and tailors strategies to address the barriers in those situations. 2, record 1, English, - targeted%20universalism

L'universalisme ciblé est une démarche mixte qui tient compte du fait que l'universalisme peut quand même mener à un écart inacceptable en matière de santé et qu'une démarche ciblée peut produire un effet négligeable sur le gradient de santé.

A permanent thermocline exists beneath the stream sloping upward from the right to the left side of the current. This thermocline separates the warm water of the Gulf Stream from the cold slope water and the boundary is often referred to as the cold wall or north wall. The north wall makes it easy to identify the position of the Gulf Stream in satellite infrared images by observing the strong sea surface temperature gradient. 2, record 2, English, - cold%20wall

Estuarine marshes are confined to intertidal and supratidal zones of estuaries. Water levels are subjected to tidal changes but water levels do not change as greatly as in other tidal marshes. There is a major input of freshwater in these marshes which makes estuarine marsh waters brackish to fresh. Vegetation develops in zones in response to variations in slope, water depth and salinity gradient. Water is brackish or fresh. 1, record 3, English, - estuarine%20marsh

At low temperatures(especially during clear weather) a temperature gradient appears in the snow, bringing about phenomena which render the snow or individual layers more fragile and loosen the bonds between crystals. The snow in these layers is called crusted snow, white frost or liquid snow. It can be recognised by its dryness, and on a slope it flows and looks like crystals of sugar. Layers of compressed snow lying on the fragile layer of white frost may tear off and trigger an avalanche. Dangerous layers of crusted snow are a very frequent phenomenon in cold winters with little snow. 4, record 11, English, - crusted%20snow

a measure of the average gradient of sensitometric curve. The slope of two parallel lines drawn 0. 1 coordinate units apart framing the sensitometric curve. One line is tangent to the high-density portion(shoulder) of the curve; the other line is tangent to the low-density portion(toe) of the curve. Bar "gamma" is the slope of the framing lines and is expressed as the tangent of the angle made by the lines and the log exposure base line. Bar "gamma" is normally used in micrographics to express the contrast of diazo and vesicular films. 1, record 27, English, - bar%20gamma

mesure du contraste moyen d'une courbe sensitométrique. Pente de deux lignes parallèles tracées à une distance de 0,1 unité de densité l'une de l'autre et qui encadrent la courbe sensitométrique. L'une des lignes est tangente à la partie de forte densité de la courbe (épaule), tandis que l'autre est tangente à la partie de faible densité (talon). Le gamma barré est la pente formée par ces deux lignes et s'exprime par la tangente de l'angle par ces deux lignes et s'exprime par la tangente de l'angle formé par ces deux lignes et le logarithme des luminations. Le gamma barré sert ordinairement en micrographie à exprimer le contraste des films diazo et vésiculaires. 1, record 27, French, - gamma%20barr%C3%A9
