Dependency, in its most basic sense, refers to a reliance on a particular substance to function normally. This reliance may be driven by a physical need, wherein the body has adapted to the presence of the substance and requires it to avoid withdrawal symptoms. More broadly, it can also involve a psychological element, where the individual feels unable to cope without the substance, leading to a sense of attachment and habituation. 3, record 1, English, - dependence

Il existe de nombreuses raisons pour lesquelles les jeunes consomment la cigarette, de l'alcool, des drogues ou s’adonnent aux jeux. Il peut s’agir d’une façon de se détendre, d’affronter leurs problèmes, ou pour des raisons sociales ou par simple curiosité. Peu importe la raison, ce comportement n’ est pas rare chez les jeunes, mais il est important de savoir reconnaître quand un problème de dépendance s’installe. La dépendance peut être psychologique(croyance qu'on ne peut fonctionner sans la consommation) ou physique(adaptation physique à une substance qui mène à une consommation croissante pour obtenir les mêmes effets et présence de symptômes de sevrage à l'arrêt). 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9pendance

Simulation was used to design a protocol and then to train over a two-week period all HCWs [health care workers] who might be involved in a SARS [severe acute respiratory syndrome] cardiac arrest. [...] A modified ACLS [advanced cardiac life support] protocol was designed and referred to as "Code Blue Special" (CBS). We were aware that there was minimal scientific evidence, and there were no guidelines, for decisions related to having HCWs apply protective equipment that would delay time to definitive ACLS care. 1, record 3, English, - code%20blue%20special

In summary, the Cauchy motion is the map on a Brownian motion of a linear Lévy dust. Recalling that decimation was the Romans' charming way of punishing a hostile group by killing every tenth member, we see that Cauchy motion is obtained by a fractal form of decimation. It was pioneered in Bochner 1955. 1, record 4, English, - Cauchy%20motion

Le cas tridimensionnel avec D=3/2 se rencontre en physique dans le problème de Holtsmark, discuté par Feller 1966 et par Chandrasekhar 1943. La loi stable correspondant à D=1 est appelée loi de Cauchy : d’où le terme «vol de Cauchy» [...].
