Record 4 2013-02-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Helicopters (Military)
  • Operations (Air Forces)
DEF

A helicopter armed primarily for use in the destruction of armoured targets.

CONT

Not only is the Apache, for example, marginally shorter and slimmer than a Bell 412 (and much larger in any case than a Cobra), but the antitank helicopter's main enemy today is its own noise and heat - just what a man and his shoulder missile on the ground will need to take it out of the sky.

OBS

antiarmour helicopter: term extracted from the "Disarmament and Peace Keeping" glossary with the permission of the United Nations Office at Geneva.

OBS

antiarmour helicopter; antitank helicopter: terms and definition standardized by NATO.

OBS

antiarmour helicopter; AAH; antitank helicopter; ATH: terms and abbreviations officially approved by the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces.

Key term(s)
  • anti-tank helicopter
  • anti-armour helicopter
  • antiarmor helicopter
  • anti-armor helicopter

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hélicoptères (Militaire)
  • Opérations (Forces aériennes)
DEF

Hélicoptère spécifiquement armé pour la destruction des blindés.

CONT

D'abord parce que la théorie de la silhouette furtive a du plomb dans l'aile (l'Apache par exemple est à peine plus court et plus étroit qu'un Bell 412 et il est de toute façon beaucoup plus gros qu'un Cobra) et que le pire ennemi d'un hélicoptère antichar est sa propre signature sonore et thermique, ce que recherchera l'homme au sol armé d'un petit missile tiré à l'épaule.

OBS

hélicoptère antichar; HAC : terme et abréviation tirés du lexique «Désarmement et Maintien de la Paix» avec l'autorisation de l'Office des Nations Unies à Genève.

OBS

hélicoptère antichar : terme et définition normalisés par l'OTAN.

Record 5 2007-08-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

Human artificial chromosomes (HAC) have been considered as a possible vector for human gene therapy. In our previous work a minichromosome (MC), isolated from a patient, was transformed with a selectable marker gene (neo) which was targeted into its centromere; the MC was then size reduced, by X-ray exposure, to be easily manipulated and further engineered. The method developed for gene targeting, based on the use of chromosome specific centromeric satellite DNA as transfection carrier, is highly efficient and reproducible.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
CONT

En effet, les chromosomes artificiels humains (HAC) décrits constituent les premières constructions chromosomiques possédant tous les attributs (télomères, origines de réplication, centromère) d'un chromosome humain viable. [...] Les généticiens manquent encore d'informations précises sur les séquences qui, au niveau du centromère et des origines de réplications, sont nécessaires au fonctionnement du chromosome.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Genética
DEF

Construcción análoga al cromosoma artificial de levadura, que consta de un centrómero y telómeros de origen humano, que permitiría la clonación de fragmentos de ADN muy grandes y su transferencia a las células humanas para aplicar la terapia génica.
