Magnetic resonance angiographyMagnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a group of techniques based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to image blood vessels. Magnetic resonance angiography is used to generate images of arteries (and less commonly veins) in order to evaluate them for stenosis (abnormal narrowing), occlusions, aneurysms (vessel wall dilatations, at risk of rupture) or other abnormalities. MRA is often used to evaluate the arteries of the neck and brain, the thoracic and abdominal aorta, the renal arteries, and the legs (the latter exam is often referred to as a "run-off").
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonanceSolid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy is a technique for characterizing atomic level structure in solid materials e.g. powders, single crystals and amorphous samples and tissues using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The anisotropic part of many spin interactions are present in solid-state NMR, unlike in solution-state NMR where rapid tumbling motion averages out many of the spin interactions.
Effective population sizeThe effective population size (Ne) is a number that, in some simplified scenarios, corresponds to the number of breeding individuals in the population. More generally, Ne is the number of individuals that an idealised population would need to have in order for some specified quantity of interest (typically change of genetic diversity or inbreeding rates) to be the same as in the real population. Idealised populations are based on unrealistic but convenient simplifications such as random mating, simultaneous birth of each new generation, constant population size, and equal numbers of children per parent.
Fast-food restaurantA fast-food restaurant, also known as a quick-service restaurant (QSR) within the industry, is a specific type of restaurant that serves fast-food cuisine and has minimal table service. The food served in fast-food restaurants is typically part of a "meat-sweet diet", offered from a limited menu, cooked in bulk in advance and kept hot, finished and packaged to order, and usually available for take away, though seating may be provided.
Couplage scalaireLe couplage scalaire, noté J et aussi appelé couplage dipôle-dipôle indirect ou juste couplage, est une interaction entre plusieurs spins à travers les liaisons chimiques. C'est une interaction indirecte entre deux spins nucléaires qui provient des interactions hyperfines entre les noyaux et la densité électronique locale et provoque un éclatement du signal RMN. Le couplage scalaire contient des informations sur la distance à travers les liaisons chimiques et les angles entre ces liaisons.
Restauration rapidevignette|redresse=1|Serveuses d'un restaurant rapide à Jakarta. La restauration rapide (fast food, en anglais) est un mode de restauration dont le but est de faire gagner du temps au client en lui permettant de consommer rapidement les plats commandés ou de les emporter, et ce, pour un prix généralement moindre que dans la restauration traditionnelle. Cela a été initialement créé pour que les travailleurs puissent prendre de la nourriture plus rapidement et avoir le temps de manger pendant leur travail.
