Dans son sens habituel du langage commun, le mot «usage» renvoie à ce qui se fait. Selon Le Nouveau Petit Robert, il s’agit «[d’une] pratique que l'ancienneté ou la fréquence rend normale, dans une société. […] Les comportements considérés comme les meilleurs, ou les seuls normaux dans une société». Les usages visent ainsi les normes de comportement normal dans une société. 2, record 1, French, - usage

Canada's current method of fire danger assessment is known as the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS), which took shape in the late 1960s when the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) envisioned a modular design for a national fire danger rating system. The CFFDRS currently comprises two major subsystems, namely the Fire Weather Index (FWI) System and the Fire Behaviour Prediction (FBP) System. 3, record 2, English, - Canadian%20Forest%20Fire%20Danger%20Rating%20System

Il est néanmoins possible de vérifier le comportement vibratoire du cœur à l'aide des mesures neutroniques. Le principe de la mesure consiste à analyser le signal délivré par les détecteurs de puissance.

La mescaline donnée à des volontaires sains produit une psychose proche de la schizophrénie. Les changements du comportement au cours de l'intoxication sont dus à une hyperactivité cérébrale produite par une action stimulante sur la dopamine et la sérotonine. Les symptômes sont ceux de l'hyperstimulation sympathique : augmentation de la pression artérielle, de la fréquence cardiaque et hyperthermie.

Le principe de la résonance magnétique repose sur le fait que lorsqu'un moment magnétique situé dans un champ magnétique est soumis à une excitation magnétique périodique, son comportement n’ est influencé par l'excitation que si celle-ci à une fréquence bien déterminée. Cette perturbation affecte le comportement électromagnétique de l'échantillon étudié et peut être mesurée. On obtient alors une courbe de variation appelée raie de résonance. La mesure directe de la résonance magnétique a été améliorée à l'occasion des études sur les radars pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. 6, record 13, French, - moment%20magn%C3%A9tique

Questions relating to physical or psychological dependence on alcohol have typically been included in consequences scales (e.g., withdrawal symptoms, craving and need, blackouts). In 1976, Edwards and Gross published an article describing the elements of what they termed the "alcohol dependence syndrome". The following were identified as part of this syndrome: narrowing of the drinking repertoire (i.e., a lifestyle where habitual drinking is the main focus), salience of drink-seeking behavior, increased tolerance to alcohol, repeated withdrawal symptoms, relief or avoidance of withdrawal symptoms by further drinking, subjective awareness of a compulsion to drink, and reinstatement after abstinence. 1, record 15, English, - drinking%20repertoire

Le syndrome d’alcoolo-dépendance [...] comporte en outre les éléments constitutifs suivants : 1) restriction du répertoire du comportement vis-à-vis de l'alcool(tendance à la stéréotypie, horaire régulier de consommation quasi quotidienne) ;2) priorité donnée à l'alcool dans l'existence, celui-ci tendant à occuper une place éminente dans la vie en dépit des conséquences néfastes; 3) consommation «thérapeutique préventive», c'est-à-dire évitement des symptômes de sevrage décrits ci-dessus par l'absorption d’alcool, en particulier le matin; 4) compulsion à boire par obsession de l'alcool, ainsi que diminution du contrôle sur la quantité et la fréquence de la consommation; 5) propension à la rechute, le syndrome réapparaissant rapidement quand le sujet recommence à boire après une période d’abstinence. 1, record 15, French, - r%C3%A9pertoire%20du%20comportement%20vis%2D%C3%A0%2Dvis%20de%20l%26rsquo%3Balcool
