Le traitement hypothermique est le seul cliniquement efficace dans le cas de l'ischémie cérébrale. Malgré son succès, il suscite des inquiétudes pour trois raisons. D'abord, ses mécanismes ne sont pas entièrement compris. Ensuite, il a d’importants effets physiologiques néfastes(soit immunosuppression, saignement excessif) qui limitent l'ampleur et la durée du traitement hypothermique. En troisième lieu, le traitement n’ est pas facile à exécuter, car il exige la ventilation mécanique du patient par blocage neuromusculaire et l'application d’une source extrinsèque ou interne d’un gradient thermique, qui ont leurs propres limites et complications. 2, record 1, French, - traitement%20hypothermique

L'UTC [Université de Technologie de Compiègne] propose une formation d’ingénieurs généralistes post-bac, d’une durée de cinq ans. Cette dernière est accessible en formation initiale, formation continue, par la voie de l'apprentissage ou de la VAE(Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience). Les deux premières années sont consacrées à l'enseignement du tronc commun. Totalement pluridisciplinaires, elles s’attachent à aborder toutes les disciplines scientifiques et techniques de l'ingénieur, tout en introduisant les sciences humaines et le management. Les élèves effectuent, au cours de ces deux années, un stage ouvrier de quatre semaines auquel peut s’ajouter(selon le propre choix de l'étudiant) un stage à l'étranger de quatre semaines, en milieu professionnel ou à l'université. Le tronc commun est sanctionné par l'obtention du DEUTEC(Diplôme d’Études Universitaires de Technologie). Les trois dernières années sur l'approfondissement d’un domaine. Au 4ème semestre, l'élève-ingénieur choisit ainsi un domaine de spécialisation parmi six :«Génie biologique», «Génie des procédés», «Génie informatique», «Génie mécanique», «Génie des systèmes mécaniques» et «Génie des systèmes urbains». À l'issue du cursus, est délivré le diplôme d’ingénieur de l'UTC. 5, record 2, French, - Dipl%C3%B4me%20d%26rsquo%3B%C3%89tudes%20Universitaires%20de%20Technologie

Mechanical mixing is essential during blending but mixing speed is not critical. In fact, it is preferable to premix ingredients at slow speed to prevent excessive splashing. Once dough ingredients are uniformly blended, mixing is unnecessary for hydration of flour particles, and savings in power, even in overall mixing time, may be achieved by switching off the mixer for a few minutes after the premix stage. This is particularly true for flours that require relatively long mixing. The fact that doughs from different flours require different amounts of mixing for development may be partly explained by variations in the rates of hydration, or the rates at which water combines with flour constituents, particularly the protein. 1, record 3, English, - mechanical%20mixing

Le malaxage mécanique est essentiel pendant le mélange des ingrédients, mais la rapidité du mouvement n’ a pas une importance critique. Il est même préférable d’effectuer le premier mélange des ingrédients assez lentement pour éviter les éclaboussures. Une fois les divers ingrédients de la pâte bien mélangés, le pétrissage est inutile pendant l'hydratation des particules de farine, et l'on peut réaliser des économies d’énergie, même sur la durée totale du pétrissage, en arrêtant le pétrin pendant quelques minutes après le stade du prémélange. 1, record 3, French, - malaxage%20m%C3%A9canique
