DEPTH PHASE [5 records]

Record 1 2011-08-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Symptoms (Medicine)
DEF

Anomaly of respiratory rhythm in which short paroxysms of deep, rapid breathing alternate with periods in which no breathing takes place(apnea). When the breathing phase begins, the individual respirations are small and slow but gradually increase to a maximum in depth and rate, then gradually diminish until the point of apnea is reached. Postulated to be due to an altered sensitivity of the respiratory centre. Seen in uremia.

OBS

The term "Cheyne-Stokes breathing" was recommended by the Medical Signs and Symptoms Committee.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Symptômes (Médecine)
DEF

Périodes d'apnée entrecoupées d'une série de respirations d'amplitude croissante, suivie d'une autre série d'amplitude décroissante.

OBS

Ce rythme respiratoire s'observe surtout dans l'insuffisance rénale terminale. Il semble dû à une irrigation défectueuse du centre respiratoire.

Subject field(s)
  • Radiological Physics (Theory and Application)
  • Electromagnetic Radiation
CONT

Laser surface treatment of amorphous soft magnetic materials is known to have a strong influence on their spin texture. Laser treatment of crystalline alloys can induce changes in their phase structure, as for example the amorphization of surface layers … Simultaneous triple radiation Mössbauer spectroscopy(STRMS) is a powerful tool for the study of these phenomena. In order to estimate the depths of origin of the spectral information, simple analytical expressions for the depth profiles of the involved techniques are calculated.

CONT

Il est également possible de monter en série deux compteurs pour mesurer simultanément les spectres à l’aide des deux types de flux. Enfin, plus récemment, on a pu enregistrer à l’aide du même appareil les spectres obtenus en transmission (rayons gamma) et en réflexion (rayons X et électrons) d’un même échantillon; la technique est alors désignée sous le sigle STRMS (Simultaneous Triple Radiation Mössbauer Spectroscopy).

Subject field(s)
  • Mining Equipment and Tools
CONT

Constant depth linear cutting(CDLC) provides a long-term solution to excessive dust generation from shearers and continuous mining machines through a new design of the rotary drum cutting system.... The CDLC concept is designed to cut a full face by using an eccentrically mounted triangular shaped drum. In addition to breaking to a free face with no secondary fragmentation, the CDLC will have a bit velocity well below the minimums needed for phase shifts in the bit metals or for methane ignition.
