L’intervention commence donc par la dilatation de l’orifice cervical jusqu’au diamètre nécessaire à l’introduction de la canule d’aspiration. [...] La canule d’aspiration est souple ou rigide. Les canules souples sont droites, ouvertes près du bout sur un côté [...]. Les souples sont moins agressives sur la muqueuse. Les canules rigides sont légèrement incurvées et ouvertes au bout, l’orifice taillé en biais. Elles permettent d’aspirer et de cureter en même temps. La canule d’aspiration se trouve reliée au tuyau d’aspiration par une pièce métallique qui permet la rotation dans l’axe de la canule, sinon, le tuyau en caoutchouc imposerait une contrainte au retour en cas de rotation axiale. 4, record 4, French, - tube%20d%27aspiration

Dr. Walton uses high precision analytical techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and Ar-Ar laser geochronology to study the age of the rocks, and how their isotopic and chemical compositions have been affected. The results of this research have implications for planning future Mars missions because, at present, the meteorites remain the only samples from this planet available for direct study. 2, record 6, English, - Ar%2DAr%20laser%20geochronology

Madame [Erin] Walton utilise des techniques d’analyse de haute précision, telles que la microscopie électronique à transmission, la spectroscopie Raman et la géochronologie Ar/Ar par sonde laser, pour étudier l'âge des roches et les modifications qu'a subi leur composition isotopique et chimique. Les résultats de cette recherche ont une incidence sur la planification des missions futures vers Mars puisque, à l'heure actuelle, les météorites demeurent les seuls échantillons de cette planète qui peuvent être étudiés de manière directe. 1, record 6, French, - g%C3%A9ochronologie%20Ar%2FAr%20par%20sonde%20laser

Le développement récent des spectromètres de masse en phase gazeuse d’une part et des lasers de puissance d’autre part permet la datation 40Ar/39Ar (dérivée de la méthodeK/Ar) d’événements géologiques situés entre plus de 3,5 milliards d’années et quelques milliers d’années. C’est la seule méthode de datation qui permet de recouvrir une aussi large part de l’histoire de la Terre, et ceci avec une procedure expérimentale et un appareillage identiques, quelle que soit la période de temps étudiée. 3, record 6, French, - g%C3%A9ochronologie%20Ar%2FAr%20par%20sonde%20laser
