  Spina bifida Défaut de fermeture de la colonne vertébrale héréditaires et e n vironnementaux (en particu lier d'ordre alimen­ taire pendant la grossesse). Ce tte malformation est plus fréquente dans les couches défavorisées de la popu l a­ tion et parmi certains groupes ethniques (Irlandais et Gallois). Le risque de spina bifida est de 1 pour 2000. Cepen­ dant, si la femme a déjà eu un enfant atteint de cette malformation,...

• électronique de spin.

  La structure décrite ci-dessus est une « vanne de spin » ; elle peut être utilisée comme un détecteur de champ magnétique. Il suffit d’utiliser deux couches magnétiques présentant des comportements différents. La première, appelée « couche dure », est insensible à un champ magnétique externe ; au contraire, la seconde, dite « couche douche », voit son aimantation tourner en fonction de l’intensité du champ magnétique extérieur. Ainsi, en fonction de son orientation, un champ magnétique externe v...

• électronique de spin - physique.

  magnétiques, conduisant à une augmentation vertigineuse de la densité d’informations stockées sur un disque dur. 2.4 La magnétorésistance tunnel Lorsque les couches magnétiques ne sont plus séparées par une couche conductrice mais par un isolant, c’est-à-dire un matériau qui ne conduit pas le courant électrique, letransport des électrons devient un phénomène purement quantique appelé « effet tunnel ». Dans une approche classique, l’isolant constitue une barrière infranchissablepour les électron...

• spin. n.m. PHYSIQUE : grandeur quantique associée au moment cinétique

  cinétique orbital de chacun des nucléons d'un noyau atomique et de leurs spins individuels. Le spin isotopique est une grandeur physique introduite pour exprimer le fait que certaines particules de masses voisines et présentant certaines propriétés comparables (par exemple le neutron et le proton) peuvent être considérées comme correspondant à deux états différents d'une même particule, par exemple le nucléon dans le cas du proton et du neutron. (Le nucléon a un nombre de spin isotopique...

  and interpret rules. The head official on the court, called the chair umpire, sits on a tall chair at one end of the net. A varying number of line judges sit around the courtbeyond the path of the players. Line judges determine whether serves and shots are good or out. A net-cord judge may be employed to determine when a ball touchesthe top of the net, and a foot-fault judge may watch for that specific infraction. In the 1980s electronic devices began to be used in some professional tournaments...

• Fish - biology.

  pectoral fins provide fine movements, add forward thrust, or, together with the pelvic fins, serve as brakes. Typically, fins consist of a thin membrane stretched over afanlike series of thin rods called spines or rays. Most fish breathe underwater with the help of special respiratory organs called gills. Gills are made of a series of thin sheets or filaments through which blood circulates.As water moves into a fish’s mouth and passes over the gills, dissolved oxygen passes across the thin gill...

• Tiger - biology.

  have a simple digestive system designed to process meat so that the nutrients can be readily absorbed into the bloodstream. With the exception of white tigers, which have blue eyes, all tigers have yellow eyes. Tigers mainly use vision to find prey. Although tigers see about as well as humansduring the day, their large eye openings gather more light than do human eyes, making tiger night vision far superior to that of humans. In addition, a special structurein the tiger’s eye, called the tapetu...

• Electron I INTRODUCTION Models of the Atom Once scientists discovered the electron, they set out to explain how electrons behave in atoms.

  Electron Density and Orbital ShapesAtomic orbitals are mathematical descriptions of where the electrons in an atom (or molecule) are most likely to be found.These descriptions are obtained by solving an equation known as the Schrödinger equation, which expresses ourknowledge of the atomic world. As the angular momentum and energy of an electron increases, it tends to reside indifferently shaped orbitals. The orbitals corresponding to the three lowest energy states are s, p, and d, respectively....

• analyse chimique - chimie.

  5. 2 Méthodes de mesure électrochimiques Elles mettent en jeu des réactions électrochimiques, telles que l'électrolyse. Des électrodes sont placées dans une solution contenant des ions. Une différence de potentiel est appliquée entre les électrodes, il en résulte le passage d'un courant électrique : les cations (ions chargés positivement) se déplacent vers l'électrode négative (cathode) et les anions (ions de charge négative) sont attirés vers l'électrode positive (anode). L'intensité du couran...

• Neptune (planet) - astronomy.

  The gaseous atmosphere of Neptune contains hydrogen, helium, and about 3 percent methane. It extends about 5,000 km (about 3,000 mi) above the planet’s ocean.Light reflected from Neptune’s deep atmosphere is blue, because the atmospheric methane absorbs red and orange light but scatters blue light. In 1998 astronomersalso identified molecules of methyl in Neptune’s atmosphere. Methyl molecules each contain one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms. Methyl molecules are knownas hydrocarbon radical...

  two electrically charged plates (positively charged top plate and negatively charged bottom plate). By measuring the difference in how fast these electron-laden oildrops fell when the metal plates were charged and uncharged, Millikan was able to calculate the total charge on each oil drop. Because each measurement was a wholenumber multiple of -1.60 × 10 -19 coulombs, Millikan concluded this was the charge carried by a single electron. Using Thomson’s electron charge-to-mass ratio, Millikan then...

• Butterflies and Moths - biology.

  The smallest butterflies are certain blues that have wingspans of a mere 0.7 cm (0.25 in). The largest are the female giant birdwings of Papua New Guinea, whichmeasure up to 30 cm (12 in) across. Moths range in size from tiny Microlepidoptera, several groups of small moths with wings no more than 0.16 cm (0.06 in) across, togiant silk moths, such as the atlas moth, which may exceed 30 cm (12 in) in wingspan. IV REPRODUCTION AND LIFE CYCLE Butterflies locate potential mates by sight, identifyin...

  Qui rapitur spumante salo sua brachio cauti / porrigit, et spinas duraque saxa capit Celui qu'emporte la mer déchaînée tend les bras et s'agrippe aux épines ou aux écueils hostiles. Ce célèbre distique élégiaque est emprunté à Ovide (Pontiques, 2, 2, 33) selon un manuscrit des douzième-treizième siècles (Londinensis British Museum Burney 220); mais le texte n'est pas certain, seules le sont les expressions qui rapitur et pon-igit. Quoi qu'il en soit, cette maxime indique que dans une situation d...

• MÉCANIQUE QUANTIQUE

  2 2 Planck arriva au bon résultat en imaginant que l'énergie émise à une fréquence donnée ne pouvait qu'être un multiple entier d'un quantum d'énergie, proportionnel à la fréquence émise. La constante de proportionnalité est ce que l'on appelle maintenant la « constante de Planck », universellement notée h et dont la valeur est environ 6x10 -34 joule seconde. La fréquence de la lumière visible étant de l'ordre de 10 15 hertz, les quanta d'énergie ainsi introduits ont une valeur d'environ 10 -...

• Quantum Theory I INTRODUCTION Quantum Theory, in physics, description of the particles that make up matter and how they interact with each other and with energy.

  electron in the same way a particle with momentum would: It bumps the electron and changes the electron’s path. The light is also affected by the collision as though itwere a particle, in that its energy and momentum changes. Momentum is a quantity that can be defined for all particles. For light particles, or photons, momentum depends on the frequency, or color, of the photon, which in turndepends on the photon’s energy. The energy of a photon is equal to a constant number, called Planck’s cons...

• Article de presse: Tony Blair, le bourgeois travailliste

  Pour survivre dans cette traversée du désert des années 80, il lui a fallu s'accrocher aux branches du thatchérisme, accepter parréalisme l'économie de marché et ce qui en découlait : dérégulation du travail, mise au pas des syndicats, privatisations,accroissement massif du fossé entre riches et pauvres, coups de canif répétés dans le Welfare State, et qu'il ne pourra corrigerqu'à la marge. Il lui a fallu ancrer son parti résolument au centre, loin des utopies gauchisantes. Mais il a dû surtout...

• Modern Dance I INTRODUCTION Modern Dance, tradition of theatrical dance unique to the 20th century.

  Though both had their own interests and styles, their collaboration helped establish modern dance as a 20th-century artform. Shawn helped overcome prejudices against men in the new field of modern dance.E.O. Hoppé/Corbis Because a dance language involves elements such as posture, use of the body’s weight, and the character of movements (sinuous, angular, and so forth)—as well asspecific movements of the head, torso, hands, arms, legs, and feet—most creators of modern dance have considered it ess...

  spontaneously break apart and change, or decay, into other atoms. Unlike electrons, which are fundamental particles, protons and neutrons are made up of other, smaller particles called quarks. Physicists know of six different quarks.Neutrons and protons are made up of up quarks and down quarks —two of the six different kinds of quarks. The fanciful names of quarks have nothing to do with their properties; the names are simply labels to distinguish one quark from another. Quarks are unique amo...

• Whale - biology.

  III BEHAVIOR OF WHALES Studies of whales in captivity have taught scientists much about the complex social behavior of whales. Since the late 1980s, advances in the use of satellite trackingsystems have also broadened opportunities for scientists to observe how whales behave in the wild. A Swimming and Diving Whales swim by making powerful up-and-down movements of the tail flukes, which provide thrust. The power comes from body muscles that flex the lower spine upand down in a wavelike motion...

• Ant - biology.

  The workers of many ant species carry a stinger within the hind end of the gaster. These ants use the stinger to defend against their enemies. In some species, workerants lack a stinger but use the tip of their gaster to squirt or dab poison at other small animals and when fighting battles with other ants, fending off predators, or killinginsects or other animals that they use as food. III PHYSIOLOGY Ants have a rigid, external skeleton called an exoskeleton that gives the soft, inner body its...
