Subregion

Résumé
A subregion is a part of a larger region or continent and is usually based on location. Cardinal directions, such as south are commonly used to define a subregion. United Nations geoscheme The Statistics Division of the United Nations (UN) is in charge of the collection, processing, and dissemination of statistical information for the UN. In 1999, it developed a system of macro-geographical (continental) regions, subregions, and other selected economic groups to report advances towards achieving numerous millennial development goals worldwide. These statistical divisions were devised for statistical purposes and is used for carrying out statistical analysis. The division's first publication was the book World's Women 2000: Trends and Statistics in 2000. According to the UN, the assignment of countries or areas to specific groupings is for statistical convenience and does not imply any assumption regarding political or other affiliation of countries or territories. The following is a non-exhaustive list of subregions, arranged alphabetically by region (i.e., by continent); in the UN geoscheme, higher-level, macro-geographical regions are arranged to the extent possible according to continents. by the United Nations Statistics Division's geoscheme (see also: UN geoscheme for Africa): Northern Africa Eastern Africa Central or Middle Africa Southern Africa Western Africa by geography: North Africa (Also known as Saharan Africa) Maghreb (AKA Northwest Africa, also including Mauritania, which most geographers consider as a part of West Africa; some geographers consider Libya as a part of Northeast Africa and Western Sahara as a part of West Africa) Northeast Africa (including Egypt, the Horn of Africa, and the Sudans; some geographers consider Egypt, Libya, and the Sudan as Northeast Africa instead) Sub-Saharan Africa (AKA Tropical Africa) Central Africa (AKA Congo, Equatorial Africa or Middle Africa) East Africa (AKA Nile) Northeast Africa (including Egypt, the Horn of Africa, and the Sudans; some geographers conside

Assessing the degradation of compliant electrodes for soft actuators

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin, Christine Anne de Saint-Aubin

We present an automated system to measure the degradation of compliant electrodes used in dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) over millions of cycles. Electrodes for DEAs generally experience biaxial linear strains of more than 10%. The decrease in elect ...

Continent
vignette|Carte animée montrant les différents systèmes de continents. Le mot continent vient du latin continere pour , ou continens terra, les . Au sens propre, ce terme désigne une vaste étendue émergée continue du sol à la surface du globe terrestre. Cependant, en géographie, la définition est souvent amendée selon des critères faisant appel à des habitudes historiques et culturelles. On retrouve ainsi certains systèmes de continents qui considèrent l'Europe et l'Asie comme deux continents, alors que l'Eurasie ne forme qu'une étendue de terre.
Amérique anglo-saxonne
Le terme Amérique anglo-saxonne (Anglo-America) est utilisé pour décrire les régions des Amériques dans lesquelles l'anglais est la langue principale, et qui possèdent une histoire et une culture liées au Royaume-Uni. Elle regroupe notamment les États-Unis, le Canada anglais, le Guyana et le Belize. L'Amérique anglo-saxonne se distingue notamment de l'Amérique latine, une région de l'Amérique où les langues romanes telles l'espagnol et le portugais sont dominantes, et de l'Amérique française où le français est la langue principale.
Americas (terminology)
The Americas, also known as America, are lands of the Western Hemisphere, composed of numerous entities and regions variably defined by geography, politics, and culture. The Americas are recognised in the English-speaking world to include two separate continents: North America and South America. The Americas are also considered to be a single continent named America in parts of Europe, Latin America and some other areas. North America—the continent and associated islands of the Northern Hemisphere and (chiefly) Western Hemisphere.
