Viscous stress tensorThe viscous stress tensor is a tensor used in continuum mechanics to model the part of the stress at a point within some material that can be attributed to the strain rate, the rate at which it is deforming around that point. The viscous stress tensor is formally similar to the elastic stress tensor (Cauchy tensor) that describes internal forces in an elastic material due to its deformation. Both tensors map the normal vector of a surface element to the density and direction of the stress acting on that surface element.
VariceLes varices sont des dilatations permanentes des veines, le plus souvent sur un membre inférieur. La varice des membres inférieurs est une dilatation des veines sous-cutanées dont le diamètre est supérieur à . Les varices sont habituellement sinueuses. Elles sont le siège d'un reflux sanguin. Seul le doppler permet d'authentifier ce reflux. Les varices de l'œsophage sont très spécifiques et ne sont pas traitées dans cet article.
Ore genesisVarious theories of ore genesis explain how the various types of mineral deposits form within Earth's crust. Ore-genesis theories vary depending on the mineral or commodity examined. Ore-genesis theories generally involve three components: source, transport or conduit, and trap. (This also applies to the petroleum industry: petroleum geologists originated this analysis.) Source is required because metal must come from somewhere, and be liberated by some process.
Strain-rate tensorIn continuum mechanics, the strain-rate tensor or rate-of-strain tensor is a physical quantity that describes the rate of change of the deformation of a material in the neighborhood of a certain point, at a certain moment of time. It can be defined as the derivative of the strain tensor with respect to time, or as the symmetric component of the Jacobian matrix (derivative with respect to position) of the flow velocity. In fluid mechanics it also can be described as the velocity gradient, a measure of how the velocity of a fluid changes between different points within the fluid.
Veine fémoraleIn the human body, the femoral vein is the vein that accompanies the femoral artery in the femoral sheath. It is a deep vein that begins at the adductor hiatus (an opening in the adductor magnus muscle) as the continuation of the popliteal vein. The great saphenous vein (a superficial vein), and the deep femoral vein drain into the femoral vein in the femoral triangle when it becomes known as the common femoral vein. It ends at the inferior margin of the inguinal ligament where it becomes the external iliac vein.
Underground hard-rock miningUnderground hard-rock mining refers to various underground mining techniques used to excavate "hard" minerals, usually those containing metals, such as ore containing gold, silver, iron, copper, zinc, nickel, tin, and lead. It also involves the same techniques used to excavate ores of gems, such as diamonds and rubies. Soft-rock mining refers to the excavation of softer minerals, such as salt, coal, and oil sands. Accessing underground ore can be achieved via a decline (ramp), inclined vertical shaft or adit.
Uranium oreUranium ore deposits are economically recoverable concentrations of uranium within the Earth's crust. Uranium is one of the most common elements in the Earth's crust, being 40 times more common than silver and 500 times more common than gold. It can be found almost everywhere in rock, soil, rivers, and oceans. The challenge for commercial uranium extraction is to find those areas where the concentrations are adequate to form an economically viable deposit. The primary use for uranium obtained from mining is in fuel for nuclear reactors.
Folk rockLe folk rock est un genre musical mêlant des éléments de musiques folk et rock. En son sens initial, le terme décrit un genre lancé aux États-Unis et au Royaume-Uni au milieu des années 1960. Pendant les années 1950 et 1960, la musique folk est renouvelée et jumelée grâce au mouvement rock 'n' roll de l'époque. Le genre est dit officiellement lancé par le groupe The Byrds, originaire de Los Angeles, qui jouera de la musique folk traditionnelle et de rock inspiré par les Beatles, et d'autres groupes britanniques.
Strain (chemistry)In chemistry, a molecule experiences strain when its chemical structure undergoes some stress which raises its internal energy in comparison to a strain-free reference compound. The internal energy of a molecule consists of all the energy stored within it. A strained molecule has an additional amount of internal energy which an unstrained molecule does not. This extra internal energy, or strain energy, can be likened to a compressed spring.
Rock 'n' rollLe rock 'n' roll (rock and roll, rock & roll, rock'n'roll ou rock'n roll) est un genre musical populaire apparu aux États-Unis à la fin des années 1940. Il découle directement de styles musicaux tels que le gospel, le blues, le jazz, le boogie woogie, le jump blues, le rhythm and blues et la musique country. Alors que des éléments musicaux de ce qui allait devenir le rock'n'roll peuvent être entendus dans les disques de blues des années 1920 et dans les disques de country des années 1930, le genre n'a acquis son nom qu'en 1954.
TenseurEn mathématiques, plus précisément en algèbre multilinéaire et en géométrie différentielle, un tenseur est un objet très général, dont la valeur s'exprime dans un espace vectoriel. On peut l'utiliser entre autres pour représenter des applications multilinéaires ou des multivecteurs.
Superficial vein thrombosisSuperficial vein thrombosis (SVT) is a blood clot formed in a superficial vein, a vein near the surface of the body. Usually there is thrombophlebitis, which is an inflammatory reaction around a thrombosed vein, presenting as a painful induration (thickening of the skin) with redness. SVT itself has limited significance (in terms of direct morbidity and mortality) when compared to a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which occurs deeper in the body at the deep venous system level.
