Cinétique chimiqueLa cinétique chimique est l'étude de la vitesse des réactions chimiques. Sur le plan disciplinaire, elle fait partie de la chimie physique. Certaines réactions sont totales et très rapides, voire instantanées, comme les explosions. D'autres sont tellement lentes qu'elles durent plusieurs années (comme la formation de la rouille), voire plusieurs siècles (comme la formation du charbon ou du pétrole). Certaines sont même tellement lentes que les réactifs de départ sont considérés comme stables, par exemple la transformation du diamant en carbone graphite.
Topics in infectious diseasesAn infection is the invasion of tissues by pathogens, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agent and the toxins they produce. An infectious disease, also known as a transmissible disease or communicable disease, is an illness resulting from an infection. Infections can be caused by a wide range of pathogens, most prominently bacteria and viruses. Hosts can fight infections using their immune systems. Mammalian hosts react to infections with an innate response, often involving inflammation, followed by an adaptive response.
Fire safetyFire safety is the set of practices intended to reduce destruction caused by fire. Fire safety measures include those that are intended to prevent the ignition of an uncontrolled fire and those that are used to limit the spread and impact of a fire. Fire safety measures include those that are planned during the construction of a building or implemented in structures that are already standing and those that are taught or provided to occupants of the building. Threats to fire safety are commonly referred to as fire hazards.
Sociologie de l'environnementLa sociologie de l'environnement ou sociologie environnementale est un courant de la sociologie voué à l'étude des relations réciproques entre les sociétés et leurs milieux, apparu dans les années 1970. La sociologie de l'environnement étudie les relations réciproques qu'entretiennent les sociétés et leurs milieux : d'une part l'influence des sociétés sur leur environnement, d'autre part, l'influence de l'environnement sur les sociétés.
Safety engineeringSafety engineering is an engineering discipline which assures that engineered systems provide acceptable levels of safety. It is strongly related to industrial engineering/systems engineering, and the subset system safety engineering. Safety engineering assures that a life-critical system behaves as needed, even when components fail. Analysis techniques can be split into two categories: qualitative and quantitative methods. Both approaches share the goal of finding causal dependencies between a hazard on system level and failures of individual components.

Chimie physiqueLa chimie physique est l’étude des bases physiques des systèmes chimiques et des procédés. En particulier, la description énergétique des diverses transformations fait partie de la chimie physique. Elle fait appel à des disciplines importantes comme la thermodynamique chimique (ou thermochimie), la cinétique chimique, la mécanique statistique, la spectroscopie et l’électrochimie.
Applied sociologyPublic sociology is a subfield of the wider sociological discipline that emphasizes expanding the disciplinary boundaries of sociology in order to engage with non-academic audiences. It is perhaps best understood as a style of sociology rather than a particular method, theory, or set of political values. Since the twenty-first century, the term has been widely associated with University of California, Berkeley sociologist Michael Burawoy, who delivered an impassioned call for a disciplinary embrace of public sociology in his 2004 American Sociological Association (ASA) presidential address.
Health sciencesThe following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to health sciences: Health sciences are those sciences which focus on health, or health care, as core parts of their subject matter. Health sciences relate to multiple academic disciplines, including STEM disciplines and emerging patient safety disciplines (such as social care research). Medicine is an applied science or practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Industrial and production engineeringIndustrial and production engineering (IPE) is an interdisciplinary engineering discipline that includes manufacturing technology, engineering sciences, management science, and optimization of complex processes, systems, or organizations. It is concerned with the understanding and application of engineering procedures in manufacturing processes and production methods. Industrial engineering dates back all the way to the industrial revolution, initiated in 1700s by Sir Adam Smith, Henry Ford, Eli Whitney, Frank Gilbreth and Lilian Gilbreth, Henry Gantt, F.
