Chronoamperometry involves the study of the variation of the current response with time under potentiostatic control. Generally, the working electrode is stepped from a potential at which there is no electrode reaction to one corresponding to the mass-transport-limited current, and the resulting current–time transient is recorded. 2, record 1, English, - chronoamperometry

A transient, short-term immunologic reaction commonly seen following antibiotic treatment of early and later stages of syphilis and less often in other diseases, such as borreliosis, brucellosis, typhoid fever, and trichinellosis, which is manifested by fever, chills, headache, myalgias, and exacerbation of cutaneous lesions. The reaction has been attributed to liberation of endotoxin-like substances or of antigens from the killed or dying microorganisms, but its exact pathogenesis is unclear. 1, record 2, English, - Jarisch%2DHerxheimer%20reaction

L'absorption naturelle de l'ADN dans l'ultraviolet (UV) facilite sa détection, cependant, la faible sensibilité de ces mesures peut limiter la détection des molécules peu abondantes. Ainsi, pour l'étude d'échantillons peu concentrés on lui préfère la fluorescence induite par laser (FIL) qui est approximativement de cent à cinq cents fois supérieure. 3, record 3, French, - fluorescence%20induite%20par%20laser

transient(chemical) species : Relating to a short-lived reaction "intermediate. "It can be defined only in relation to a time scale fixed by the experimental conditions and the limitations of the technique employed in the detection of the intermediate. The term is a relative one. 1, record 5, English, - transient%20species
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Transient species are sometimes also said to be "metastable." However, this latter term should be avoided, because it relates a thermodynamic term to a kinetic property, although most transients are also thermodynamically "unstable" with respect to reactants and products. 1, record 5, English, - transient%20species

espèce chimique transitoire : Qualifie un «intermédiaire réactionnel» de courte durée de vie moyenne. Le caractère transitoire ne peut être défini que par référence à un laps de temps; son ordre de grandeur dépend des conditions de l'expérience et des limites de détection de l'intermédiaire. Cette expression a aussi un sens relatif. 1, record 5, French, - esp%C3%A8ce%20transitoire
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 OBS
On dit quelquefois que les espèces transitoires sont «métastables». Toutefois, on devrait éviter ce dernier terme parce qu'il crée de la confusion entre un terme thermodynamique et une propriété cinétique, même si les espèces transitoires sont aussi thermodynamiquement «instables» par rapport aux réactifs et aux produits. 1, record 5, French, - esp%C3%A8ce%20transitoire
