CONT

Balloon cardiac catheters improve or restore coronary blood flow. Doctors often use this type of coronary intervention to inhibit the effects of coronary artery disease where dangerous plaque build-up clogs arteries that supply blood to the heart. After placement with a guide wire, an inflatable balloon sits on the tip of the catheter and expands inside the artery to increase coronary circulation, allow for stent placement and deflates for removal after the artery is opened... An over-the-wire balloon catheter has two lumens : one for the guide wire and the other for balloon inflation. The guide wire exists independent of the balloon so two operators must perform the coronary procedure. A criticism of the over-the-wire catheter includes increased radiation exposure due to increased fluoroscopy time during balloon placement.

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
DEF

Any shot which goes by (passes) an opponent who is close to the net. Usually refers to a shot hit with much pace, as opposed to a slice shot.

CONT

When Voinea drilled a passing shot near his body, Becker took a few menacing steps toward him.

CONT

Short points are usually going to be the essence in doubles where twice the number of players crowd the court, making rallies less likely and attempts at passes more likely to be foiled.

OBS

Not to be confused with "passing shot winner". A "passing shot" is a shot that a defensive player is forced to make in order to place the ball behind the opposing net player. Such a shot may or may not go over the net or may or may not land within the opposing court. Successful of not, the attempt is called a "passing shot". And only if it is successful, does one call it a "passing shot winner". Related term :placement(generic term for any type of shot that is hit to an open area of the court; usually refers to shots made without much pass). Related term : buggywhip shot.

OBS

The "passing shot" is also called a "pass shot".

PHR

accurate passing shot, backhand passing shot, blistering (forehand) passing shot, (angled/short) crosscourt passing shot, down-the-line passing shot, forehand passing shot, hard passing shot, slice backhand passing shot, soft passing shot, strong passing shot; passing shot lane.

PHR

to cut off a pass(ing shot), dare one’s opponent to hit the passing shot, hit a passing shot, intercept a passing shot, overplay a passing shot, slam a (cross-court) passing shot.

DEF

Coup droit, revers, volée ou demi-volée, destiné à passer du premier coup sur les côtés (et non par un lob) un adversaire qui est monté au filet, soit à l'obliger à volleyer dans des conditions difficiles pour conclure au coup suivant.

CONT

Un débordement survient quand la balle frappée en croisé ou en parallèle, arrive derrière l'adversaire alors qu'il avance.

OBS

Coup qui peut être effectué le long de la ligne ou croisé. «Passing-shot» : terme utilisé en France. Terme connexe : coup gagnant. En français le terme générique «coup de débordement» peut avoir deux équivalents anglais, selon le contexte : 1) passing shot 2) forcing shot. À la différence du terme «forcing shot» que l'on peut utiliser dans n'importe quelle situation lors d'un match, il faut que son adversaire soit installé au filet avant qu'on puisse qualifier son coup de «passing shot». Termes connexes (moins précis) : tir imparable, coup hors de portée.

OBS

Le lob offensif est en fait un passing-shot haut qui, bien exécuté, incitera l'adversaire à plus de prudence dans ses montées.

PHR

coup de débordement brossé, coup de débordement rasé de frais, coup de débordement en slice; défier un coup de débordement (=force the passing shot, dare one's opponent to go for a passing shot), intercepter un coup de débordement, loger un coup de débordement (dans des trous de souris).

Fiche 3 2006-07-14

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Pharmacodynamics
CONT

Definition of Controlled Release. A system that : delivers an agent at a controlled rate for an extended time; might localize drug action by spatial placement near where it is needed; might target drug action by using techniques to deliver drug to a particular cell type.

OBS

Controlled drug delivery occurs when a polymer, whether natural or synthetic, is judiciously combined with a drug or other active agent in such a way that the active agent is released from the material in a predesigned manner. The release of the active agent may be constant over a long period, it may be cyclic over a long period, or it may be triggered by the environment or other external events. In any case, the purpose behind controlling the drug delivery is to achieve more effective therapies while eliminating the potential for both under- and overdosing.

Terme(s)-clé(s)
  • controlled release system
  • controlled release drug delivery system

[...] les systèmes à libération contrôlée dont le principe consiste à inclure une molécule biologiquement active au sein d'une matrice ou d'un réservoir capable d'assurer sa libération progressive au niveau du site d'administration (tube digestif, peau, muscle, etc...), si possible selon un profil cinétique donné.

OBS

La conception de systèmes de libération contrôlée de médicaments est l'un des grands domaines d'application des nanotechnologies. Depuis quelques années, il est possible d'administrer des hormones peptidiques (LH-RH, hormones de croissance, ...) grâce à des micro-capsules : les peptides actifs sont enfermés dans une coque faite d'acides lactiques ou de polymères composés d'acides lactiques et glycoliques. La libération de l'hormone dépend de la cinétique de dégradation des polymères.

DEF

A mechanical device used for developing and polishing facets on faceted stones in a regular geometric manner.

OBS

In machines of this type the dop stick with the gem attached to it, is fitted into a "quill" which can be positioned at various precise angles via the "protractor. "The quill moves up and down on the mast, which gives great control over the depth of cut, and a slotted index gear gives accurate control over the radial placement of facets. Stones cut on such equipment are usually described as "custom cut. "

Erosion control Mattress... the placement of revetment mats on slopes to be protected is one of the methods of erosion control.... The mattress generally consist of double layers of woven fabric forms placed on the slope to be protected and filled with concrete or grout.... this type of forming system is a simple, fast, and economical technique for the placement of concrete for slope protection both above and below the water without the need for dewatering.... For normal installations, the fabric forms, prefabricated to job specifications and dimensions, are simply spread over the terrain, which has received minimal grading. The fabric form is then pumped full of mortar.... This same concept can be used where slide problems are caused by eroding of the toe of the slopes, and where access is difficult for placement of rip-rap.

FINISH GRADE STAKES(1) Description : Wooden stakes 2" X 2" are usually used with the tops of the stakes coloured red or blue. Blue or red tops, as they are called, indicate the actual finished elevation of final grade to which the completed facility is to be constructed and are used when the grade is within a short distance of the final elevation. These stakes are not normally used in combat road construction except where steep slopes are involved. This type of stake will normally require a guard stake to protect it and indicate its location, although on large projects it may be impractical to use guards with each one.(2) Placement and Marking. There is no marking on these stakes other than the coloring on the top. The coloring can be other than red or blue. They may be set for use in two different ways : a. With the stake being exactly at the finished grade; or b. With the top of the stake being at a certain distance above the finished grade as decided upon by the surveyor and construction foreman.

  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

The BLOCKS tutor(Brown and Burton, 1978b) is based on a game in manipulatory mathematics that uses the concept of(attribute blocks)(Greenes et al., 1972) to exercise the student's deductive abilities of the type necessary for(troubleshooting.) In the game as implemented, a block is defined by three attributes : its size(large or small), its color(red, yellow, green, or blue), and its shape(triangle, square, circle, or diamond). In the card A and card B each state one attribute value(e. g., large) or the negation of a value(e. g., not blue). Thus they each define a set of blocks. These two sets, with their union and their intersection, define four areas as shown in the diagram. The contents of the two cards are not shown to the student, who must deduce them by a sequence of queries. For each query, he chooses one block and asks the system in which of the four areas the block should be placed according to the cards’ contents. If each new block is chosen judiciously, knowing where it belongs narrows the range of possible values for the cards until these values are uniquely determined. The skill of the game is then to select blocks whose placement is expected to provide a maximum of information about the cards. This is analogous to selecting optimal measurements in(troubleshooting.)
