La personnalité dépressive en tant qu'entité autonome ne figure [...] pas dans les classifications diagnostiques officielles. Seul le DSM-IV-TR [Manuel diagnostique et statistique des troubles mentaux, quatrième édition, version française] propose des critères diagnostiques du «trouble de personnalité dépressive» en annexe de la liste officielle. La description correspond d'assez près à celle du tempérament dépressif avec un envahissement permanent par des cognitions dépressives, observable dès la fin de l'adolescence ou au plus tard au début de l'âge adulte et se manifestant dans des contextes variables. Le trait dominant consiste en un sentiment envahissant de découragement, de tristesse ou d'abattement et une faible estime de soi. 1, record 2, French, - trouble%20de%20personnalit%C3%A9%20d%C3%A9pressive

nautisme : Au Canada, le terme distingue la navigation de plaisance des autres sports nautiques : «Sport de la navigation de plaisance» (Dictionnaire nord-américain de la langue française de Louis-Alexandre Bélisle, 1979, p. 632). En France, il désigne, selon les uns, l'«ensemble des activités sportives pratiquées sur l'eau, en particulier la navigation de plaisance» (Grand dictionnaire encyclopédique Larousse, 1982, Vol. 7, p. 7296) ou est, selon les autres le «terme générique embrassant les sports de la nage et de la navigation, ainsi que les jeux sportifs qui s'y rattachent» (Le Robert des sports, 1982, p. 293). Malgré ces divergences, il y a tout lieu de croire que le terme en vienne à ne signifier que les sports sur l'eau, «surtout la navigation de plaisance» (Le Petit Robert, 1985, p. 1259 et Le Grand Larousse universel, 1995, vol 10, p. 7296). 7, record 10, French, - navigation%20de%20plaisance

Placers (gisements clastiques). Les placers sont le résultat d'un processus de concentration mécanique, au cours duquel les minéraux de plus grande masse volumique et de résistance élevée à l'attaque chimique se séparent, par gravité, de ceux qui sont plus légers et plus friables. L'ensemble des multiples actions d'érosion, de transport et d'enrichissement du matériau peut être accompli, à un moment quelconque des temps géologiques, par les cours d'eau, les vagues, le vent et les mouvements de solifluxion. 7, record 13, French, - placer
