En chimie, l'encapsulation consiste à enfermer une substance dans une capsule. L'objectif est : - soit de protéger la substance contre des interactions avec le milieu extérieur. On encapsule par exemple certains filtres [ultraviolets] UV contenus dans les crèmes solaires pour les stabiliser et les empêcher d'irriter la peau; - soit de transporter la substance jusqu'à l'endroit où elle sera libérée pour agir. Les liposomes par exemple sont des sphères utilisées pour transporter les substances actives des cosmétiques dans la peau.

A sound curling delivery requires accomplishment in four technical areas. Alignment, Timing, Balance, and Release. The delivery must be straight, the movements properly coordinated, the body in balance, and the release controlled and consistent. As each skill improves, so does accuracy. In addition to the technical aspects, a sound curling delivery requires a delicate "feel" for weight, and sound mental skills. 5, record 6, English, - delivery

The technical term is "delivery" : it bears all the efficiency needed to position a rock on the intended target. The word "shot" is a more common term while "throw" and "stroke" express more force and vigour, or the action of a rock against another, than the conjugated strength and precision needed to place a rock on the targeted spot. 4, record 6, English, - delivery

En curling, le terme technique est le «lancer d'une pierre»; il porte toute la finesse de précision requise pour atteindre la cible désignée avec l'effet nécessaire pour y parvenir. Le terme «coup» est davantage un générique venant de l'expression «réussir un bon coup». Quant à «tir», il est moins approprié vu que le curleur cherche davantage à «placer» sa pierre et qu'à la «propulser» de toutes ses forces. 4, record 6, French, - lancer

Combinatorial chemistry is based on the simple premise that the greater the diversity of compounds tested, the better the chance of finding on that can be developed into a drug... Combinatorial chemistry can improve drug discovery by increasing the efficiency with which novel leads are generated; assisting the optimization of previously identified leads; generating molecules for target validation, independent in their value as potential drug candidates. 3, record 13, English, - combinatorial%20chemistry

La chimie combinatoire au service de la puissance et de la sélectivité des interactions intermoléculaires : la possibilité de recréer au laboratoire des mélanges de molécules pouvant contenir des milliers, voire des millions de molécules originales, grâce aux approches de synthèse combinatoire sur support solide, a bouleversé ces cinq dernières années les pratiques de nombreux laboratoires s'intéressant au développement de nouveaux composés doués d'activité biologique. 1, record 13, French, - chimie%20combinatoire

Ces approches ont pris un essor considérable dans le domaine de l'industrie pharmaceutique. Il y a lieu cependant de souligner que ces méthodes permettent d'aborder sous un nouvel angle les problèmes liés à la reconnaissance intermoléculaire. En effet, à la différence des démarches fondées sur le criblage de substances naturelles, la nature et la diversité des molécules synthétisées par les approches combinatoires peuvent être totalement contrôlées. 1, record 13, French, - chimie%20combinatoire
