Female genital cutting (FGC) is the collective name given to traditional practices that involve the partial or total cutting away of the female external genitalia or other injury to the female genitals, whether for cultural or other non-therapeutic reasons. 5, record 3, English, - female%20genital%20mutilation

The extensive literature on the subject, the support of international organizations, and the emergence of local groups working against the continuation practices appear to suggest that an international consensus has been reached. The terminology used to refer to these surgeries has changed, and the clearly disapproving and powerfully evocative expression of "female genital mutilation" has now all but replaced the possibly inaccurate, but relatively less value-laden term of "female circumcision". 6, record 3, English, - female%20genital%20mutilation

Le Collège des médecins et chirurgiens de l'Ontario a adopté, en 1992, une politique qui interdit la MGF [mutilation génitale féminine], déclarant que les médecins qui effectuent cette opération seront poursuivis pour inconduite professionnelle.

En 1951, D. Tabor publie «The hardness of metals» et propose une synthèse exhaustive des différents types d'essai de dureté (indentation normale, rayage, rebondissement, etc.). [...] la multiplicité des matériaux et des structures étudiées (structures composites, revêtements, matériaux à gradient de fonctionnalité) ainsi que les configurations réalisées (rayage, punch test, nanochargement), ne permettent pas, jusqu'à présent, une compréhension complète des phénomènes physiques mis en jeu. 1, record 4, French, - mat%C3%A9riau%20%C3%A0%20gradient%20de%20fonctionnalit%C3%A9

Nous avons jusqu'à maintenant développé des modèles qui permettent d'analyser la propagation des ondes dans des structures allant d'une simple plaque mince à un substrat semi-infini en passant par le multicouche et le super réseau. Un modèle spécifique basé sur l'utilisation d'une base de polynômes orthonormés pour exprimer les déplacements mécaniques et le potentiel électrique de l'onde a été développé pour l'étude des modes dans des structures planes présentant un gradient de propriété. 4, record 4, French, - mat%C3%A9riau%20%C3%A0%20gradient%20de%20fonctionnalit%C3%A9
