French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique nucléaire
  • Chimie
DEF

Essai d'une méthode, d'un procédé, d'un appareil ou d'un dispositif dans lesquels les matières fortement radioactives ont été remplacées par des matières inactives ou pouvant contenir des traceurs radioactifs. [Définition normalisée par l'ISO.]

CONT

Un programme important d'essais en inactif - sur environ 150 fûts - a permis de réunir une intéressante documentation sur le comportement pratique des matières soumises au pressage [...]

CONT

Les essais inactifs de R7 sont en cours. Cet atelier devrait être exploité en actif début 1989.

OBS

essai en inactif : terme normalisé par l'ISO.

Record 5 1991-03-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
  • Bronchi
CONT

To assess the sensitivity of isocapnic hyperventilation with cold air in detecting airway hyperreactivity in asthmatic children, we studied 13 asthmatic patients ... and 10 normal children. Cold air challenge consisted of 4 minutes of moderate hyperventilation plus another 4 minutes of maximal hyperventilation, both with subfreezing air (-16 degrees to -18 degrees C) ... We conclude that exercise and cold air-induced bronchospasm have different physiologic mechanisms, and that cold air testing can be used as a routine challenge to identify airway hyperreactivity in children.

OBS

Response to cold air hyperventilation in normal and in asthmatic children, J. Pediatr. (U.S.), April, 1984, 104(4), pp. 516-21, ISSN 0022-3476.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes diagnostiques (Médecine)
  • Bronches
OBS

[On] peut également utiliser un test d'hyperventilation en air sec et froid, fourni par exemple par une bouteille d'air comprimé, qui donnera un résultat analogue, sinon identique à celui de l'épreuve d'exercice.

Record 6 1985-12-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
CONT

A number of strategies for controlling cold weather emissions have been identified, but none of them offers an optimal solution or, perhaps, even enough advantage to consider changing current practices. The alternative strategies are: - require cold temperature testing; - modify the test procedure; - issue design standards; - optional cold weather testing; and - emission control system device certification.
