Forces capillaires. À l'interface entre deux phases, il existe une tension superficielle liée à la nature des deux substances en contact, qui traduit l'écart entre les forces d’attraction des molécules avec celles qui sont à l'intérieur de leur phase et celles qui sont à l'extérieur. L'eau est «mouillante» avec la plupart des solides c'est-à-dire que l'angle de raccordement de l'interface air-eau avec les solides est aigu. De part et d’autres de l'interface air-eau la pression est différente. L'écart, la pression capillaire, est d’autant plus élevé que le rayon de courbure est plus court. L'air est à la pression atmosphérique(phase continue). L'eau peut ainsi se retrouver à une pression négative(c'est la succion capillaire) : ceci explique l'existence d’un profil d’humidité au-dessus de la ligne de saturation d’un aquifère. 3, record 2, French, - tension%20capillaire

The outlook for patients with localized prostate cancer is brighter than ever, thanks to a procedure that combines the exactness of computer-assisted planning with the precision of ultrasound-guided technology. Known as prostate radioactive seed implantation, this one-day surgical procedure places tiny radioactive seeds accurately within the confines of the prostate gland where they act to destroy cancerous cells while leaving nearby healthy tissue intact. 3, record 4, English, - radioactive%20seed

Le traitement du cancer de la prostate au moyen d’implants radioactifs permanents : caractérisation de la migration des sources et simulations par ordinateur. Ce traitement du cancer de la prostate consiste en l'implantation permanente de sources radioactives directement dans la glande. Une étape importante de la planification du traitement est l'élaboration du plan de chargement. Celui-ci établit le nombre et l'emplacement des grains radioactifs à l'intérieur de la prostate de façon à obtenir une couverture de dose optimum. Après l'intervention, et malgré de nombreuses précautions, les grains ne sont pas exactement à l'endroit planifié et la qualité du traitement s’en trouve altérée. Cet écart par rapport à la position planifiée est connu sous le nom de migration. Le premier volet de l'étude porte sur la migration des sources. Des quantités telles que l'angle d’insertion de l'aiguille, la courbure de la trajectoire des grains, le déplacement transverse et l'étirement sont mesurées sur 30 cas totalisant 1 200 sources. 1, record 4, French, - grain%20radioactif
