Les paroles que l'on emploie envers les personnes âgées peuvent sembler parfois infantiles et du fait de la diminution des capacités cognitives des personnes âgées, les proches peuvent avoir tendance à adopter le même langage employé pour communiquer avec des enfants : ce langage est appelé "elderspeak" ou "langage des aînés". Ce type de langage est caractérisé par un débit de parole lent, un volume élevé, l'utilisation de vocabulaire simplifié, des répétitions de paroles, et l'utilisation de surnoms et diminutifs. 1, record 1, French, - langage%20des%20a%C3%AEn%C3%A9s

«Élimination des rotavirus dans les systèmes expérimentaux de lagunes de décantation des déchets»(Oragui, J. 1995) traite de l'élimination des rotavirus dans des lagunes de configurations diverses. Les auteurs ont découvert que l'élimination des rotavirus est un processus très lent qui nécessite une longue rétention dans plusieurs des lagunes en série. Dans une des configurations, l'élimination des rotavirus n’ était pas liée au taux du pH, de chlorophylle, d’ammoniaque ou de sulfure. Dans la configuration «innovatrice», la combinaison d’eaux peu profondes et la longue rétention a permis le développement d’un pH élevé dans la lagune, ce qui a favorisé la disparition des rotavirus. 3, record 3, French, - lagunes%20en%20s%C3%A9rie

Procédure appliquée sur les traversées océaniques où le trafic se présente généralement en alignements. Elle vise à faciliter le dépassement d’un avion plus lent par un avion plus performant qui part d’un niveau de vol inférieur et veut atteindre un niveau plus élevé. Avec un T-CAS, le pilote détecte les avions qui l'entourent et peut les localiser grossièrement. La procédure ITC autorise donc le dépassement dès que la séparation atteint les 15 ou 20 nm(30-40 km) pour des avions équipés de T-CAS. 1, record 7, French, - Proc%C3%A9dure%20ITC

La pression de pointe des voies aériennes est diminuée, mais la pression intrathoracique moyenne s’élève; on observe alors une amélioration des échanges gazeux rapides [...] 2, record 8, French, - ventilation%20%C3%A0%20rapport%20I%2FE%20invers%C3%A9
