Manuel diagnostique et statistique des troubles mentaux
Le Manuel diagnostique et statistique des troubles mentaux (également désigné par le sigle DSM, abréviation de l'Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) est un ouvrage de référence publié par l'Association américaine de psychiatrie (American Psychiatric Association ou APA) décrivant et classifiant les troubles mentaux. Le manuel évolue initialement à partir des statistiques collectées depuis des hôpitaux psychiatriques et depuis un manuel diffusé par l'armée de terre des États-Unis.
Spectrum disorder
A spectrum disorder is a mental disorder that includes a range of linked conditions, sometimes also extending to include singular symptoms and traits. The different elements of a spectrum either have a similar appearance or are thought to be caused by the same underlying mechanism. In either case, a spectrum approach is taken because there appears to be "not a unitary disorder but rather a syndrome composed of subgroups". The spectrum may represent a range of severity, comprising relatively "severe" mental disorders through to relatively "mild and nonclinical deficits".
Speech sound disorder
A speech sound disorder (SSD) is a speech disorder in which some sounds (phonemes) are not produced or used correctly. The term "protracted phonological development" is sometimes preferred when describing children's speech, to emphasize the continuing development while acknowledging the delay. Speech sound disorders may be subdivided into two primary types, articulation disorders (also called phonetic disorders) and phonemic disorders (also called phonological disorders).
Language delay
A language delay is a language disorder in which a child fails to develop language abilities at the usual age-appropriate period in their developmental timetable. It is most commonly seen in children ages two to seven years-old and can continue into adulthood. The reported prevalence of language delay ranges from 2.3 to 19 percent. Language is a uniquely human form of communication that entails the use of words in a standard and structured way. Language is distinct from communication. Communication is a two-stage process.
Big Dig
Le Big Dig est le surnom du Central Artery/Tunnel Project, un projet autoroutier souterrain à Boston aux États-Unis construit par la société Bechtel entre 1985 et la fin de 2007, date marquant la fin du partenariat entre Bechtel/Parsons Brinckerhoff et le Massachusetts Turnpike Authority. Son but était d'alléger la circulation de surface dans le cœur de Boston même, principalement celle qui passe par le Central Artery (partie du Interstate 93). La partie la plus importante du projet est un tunnel long de qui remplace une autoroute surélevée.
Tunnel Lincoln
Le tunnel Lincoln, en , est un tunnel routier qui traverse le fleuve Hudson pour relier New York, au niveau du quartier de Chelsea sur l'île de Manhattan, à la ville de Weehawken dans le New Jersey, sur le continent. Environ véhicules l'empruntent chaque jour, ce qui en fait l'un des tunnels autoroutiers les plus fréquentés au monde. C'est l'un des deux tunnels routiers à péage construits sous l'Hudson, l'autre, plus ancien, étant le Holland Tunnel entre Jersey City et Lower Manhattan.
Unreachable memory
In computer programming, unreachable memory is a block of dynamically allocated memory where the program that allocated the memory no longer has any reachable pointer that refers to it. Similarly, an unreachable object is a dynamically allocated object that has no reachable reference to it. Informally, unreachable memory is dynamic memory that the program cannot reach directly, nor get to by starting at an object it can reach directly, and then following a chain of pointer references.
Forensic pathology
Forensic pathology is pathology that focuses on determining the cause of death by examining a corpse. A post mortem examination is performed by a medical examiner or forensic pathologist, usually during the investigation of criminal law cases and civil law cases in some jurisdictions. Coroners and medical examiners are also frequently asked to confirm the identity of remains. Forensic pathology is an application of medical jurisprudence.
