Like systematic desensitization therapy, VRT can provide stimuli for patients who have difficulty in imagining scenes and/or are too phobic to experience real situations.

Dopage des boues activées par immersion de géotextile. Le développement de l'urbanisation, responsable de l'augmentation de la concentration de la population, conduit à un accroissement de la pollution carbonée, et azotée dans les eaux usées. De ce fait, la plupart des stations d’épuration existantes, fonctionnant par le système de boues activées, non seulement ne sont pas prévues pour éliminer l'azote, mais en plus deviennent sous-dimensionnées pour traiter le carbone. Pour réhabiliter ces stations, une des solutions consiste à immerger un support bactérien(géotextile ENKAMAT) dans le réacteur de boues activées. L'augmentation de la concentration en biomasse ainsi obtenue permettrait alors de résoudre le double problème de l'augmentation de la charge organique et de l'élimination de l'azote par nitrification-dénitrification. 3, record 6, French, - dopage

In the laboratory, it is usually applied using an ultrasonic bath or an ultrasonic probe, colloquially known as a sonicator. ... Sonication can be used to speed dissolution, by breaking intermolecular interactions. ... In biological applications, sonication may be sufficient to disrupt or deactivate a biological material. ... Sonication is commonly used in nanotechnology for evenly dispersing nanoparticles in liquids. Sonication can also be used to initiate crystallisation processes and even control polymorphic crystallisations. ...

[Ces auteurs] proposent la comparaison des performances de trois sondes ultrasoniques de puissance à 20 kHz (horn, cup-horn et tube) en observant notamment les distributions spatiales des effets de la cavitation. Pour cela, ils se sont basés sur une sonde électrochimique mesurant le taux de transfert de masse solide - liquide, lié à l’intensité cavitationnelle. Selon ces auteurs, les collapses violents des bulles de cavitation semblent être responsables des effets des ultrasons. Ils ont montré que pour les trois types de réacteurs, l’application d’ultrasons donne lieu à une hétérogénéité du milieu avec une répartition des bulles cavitationnelles qui dépend du type de sonde employé. 5, record 12, French, - sonde%20cup%2Dhorn

Oysters like to grow in reefs, oyster attached to oyster. Spats confuse our bags of shells with oyster reefs and settle down upon them. After a year, the bags are transplanted to our 'Fattening Beds'. Fattening beds are closer to the ocean than catching beds. On a fattening bed, oysters get more of the algae and plankton that the ocean brings into the bay. This oysters can be scattered onto the fattening beds. 1, record 14, English, - fattening%20bed
