Newtonian telescopes consist of a concave primary mirror and a flat secondary mirror. Light enters the front opening of the telescope, travels past the diagonally mounted secondary mirror, eventually bouncing off the curved primary mirror. The curve of the mirror focuses the light onto the secondary mirror, which sends the image to your eyepiece or your astrophotography camera. 5, record 2, English, - Newtonian%20telescope

Le télescope Newton est un réflecteur qui utilise des miroirs au lieu de lentilles pour emmagasiner et focaliser la lumière. Le système à miroir selon Newton est le plus courant. Un miroir primaire concave(en forme d’assiette) est placé au fond du tube optique alors qu'un petit miroir secondaire plan placé à l'autre bout du tube(partie ouverte) dévie la lumière sur le côté où se placent les oculaires. 5, record 2, French, - t%C3%A9lescope%20de%20Newton

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a new technology in radiation oncology that delivers radiation more precisely to the tumor while relatively sparing the surrounding normal tissues ... IMRT has wide application in most aspects of radiation oncology because of its ability to create multiple targets and multiple avoidance structures, to treat different targets simultaneously to different doses as well as to weight targets and avoidance structures according to their importance. By delivering radiation with greater precision, IMRT has been shown to minimize acute treatment-related morbidity, making dose escalation feasible which may ultimately improve local tumor control ... 2, record 7, English, - intensity%2Dmodulated%20radiation%20therapy

C'est le cas de la technique de radiothérapie conformationnelle avec modulation d’intensité, forme spécialisée de radiothérapie conformationnelle dans laquelle on utilise des images scanner de la région à traiter associées à des logiciels spécifiques d’optimisation de la dose qui permettent de planifier l'irradiation de manière très ciblée. La radiothérapie conformationnelle avec modulation d’intensité consiste à faire varier la forme du faisceau et l'intensité du faisceau au cours d’une même séance pour s’adapter précisément au volume à traiter. On a recours à un dispositif spécial appelé collimateur multilames couplé à un accélérateur linéaire de particules. 3, record 7, French, - radioth%C3%A9rapie%20conformationnelle%20avec%20modulation%20d%26rsquo%3Bintensit%C3%A9

So what are the options for distance coaching? We can design an individual programme for you based around the following processes: - Telephone at agreed times. 30 minute discussion supported by exercises. Instant messaging at agreed times. Just the same as a telephone call but no cost. Just type messages back and forward - a digital conversation! E-mail. Take your own time. Work when you want to and your coach will reply. Whichever suits you best, you can be sure that your coach will take you through a structured coaching process, helping you to set and achieve powerful goals. 1, record 15, English, - distance%20coaching

En téléenseignement, l’interactivité entre le professeur et les deux groupes d’apprenants est primordiale pour permettre l’expérience de la classe virtuelle.

Chromatic aberration results from material dispersion. Because different colors of light refract by different amounts, an image point formed by light of one color does not coincide with the corresponding image point formed by light of a different color. This is not a geometrical aberration. 3, record 16, English, - chromatic%20aberration

Lorsque vous observez le passage de la lumière blanche à travers un prisme, vous pouvez remarquer qu'elle se décompose en différentes couleurs. La lumière blanche est en réalité un mélange de toutes les couleurs, celles de l'arc en ciel. Or une lentille simple se comporte localement comme un prisme et a donc tendance à séparer les couleurs. L'image n’ est alors nette que pour le bleu, que pour le vert ou que pour le rouge. C'est l'aberration chromatique. Afin de palier ce problème, qui rend donc les images floues, on adjoint plusieurs lentilles de nature différentes permettant ainsi de focaliser la plupart des couleurs en un même point. Si l'objectif possède deux lentilles, on parle de système achromatique et s’il en possède trois, de système apochromatique. 2, record 16, French, - aberration%20chromatique
