Law degreeA law degree is an academic degree conferred for studies in law. Such degrees are generally preparation for legal careers. But while their curricula may be reviewed by legal authority, they do not confer a license themselves. A legal license is granted by examination, and exercised locally. The law degree can have local, international, and world-wide aspects, such as in England and Wales, where the Legal Practice Course or passing Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) is required to become a solicitor or the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) to become a barrister.
Degrees of the University of OxfordThe system of academic degrees at the University of Oxford can be confusing to those not familiar with it. This is not merely because many degree titles date from the Middle Ages, but also because many changes have been haphazardly introduced in recent years. For example, the (medieval) BD, BM, BCL, etc. are postgraduate degrees, while the (modern) MPhys, MEng, etc. are integrated master's degrees, requiring three years of undergraduate study before the postgraduate year. In postnominals, "University of Oxford" is normally abbreviated "Oxon.
Plancher bétonLes planchers de béton sont des éléments structurels de plancher réalisés à partir d'éléments préfabriqués ou non, essentiellement dont le principal matériau mis en œuvre est le béton. Les planchers en béton se divisent en quatre groupes principaux : Les éléments de plancher en béton Les éléments de plancher en béton cellulaire Les prédalles Les poutrains et claveaux Disponibles en béton armé ou précontraint, ce type d'éléments préfabriqués, plus communément appelés hourdis, est une solution idéale pour poser un plancher de façon simple, rapide et extrêmement solide.
Energetically modified cementEnergetically modified cements (EMCs) are a class of cements made from pozzolans (e.g. fly ash, volcanic ash, pozzolana), silica sand, blast furnace slag, or Portland cement (or blends of these ingredients). The term "energetically modified" arises by virtue of the mechanochemistry process applied to the raw material, more accurately classified as "high energy ball milling" (HEBM). This causes, amongst others, a thermodynamic transformation in the material to increase its chemical reactivity.
Mortier (matériau)thumb|Trois briques maintenues ensemble par un mortier. Le mortier est le mélange à consistance de pâte ou de boue, d'un liant et d'agrégats avec de l'eau. Il est utilisé en maçonnerie comme élément de liaison, de scellement ou comme enduit. Techniquement parlant, c'est une colle. Les professionnels du bâtiment qui utilisent le mortier sont le maçon, le couvreur, le carreleur et le tailleur de pierre. Jadis, la fonction était dévolue au gâcheur de mortier, qui le gâchait, c'est-à-dire le mélangeait.
Dental cementDental cements have a wide range of dental and orthodontic applications. Common uses include temporary restoration of teeth, cavity linings to provide pulpal protection, sedation or insulation and cementing fixed prosthodontic appliances. Recent uses of dental cement also include two-photon calcium imaging of neuronal activity in brains of animal models in basic experimental neuroscience. Traditionally cements have separate powder and liquid components which are manually mixed.
Régression et dégradation des solsvignette|redresse=1.7|Carte mondiale de la dégradation des sols établie en 2017. Selon le rapport de 2015 de la FAO et l' sur l'« État des ressources du sol dans le monde », un tiers des terres arables de la planète sont plus ou moins menacées de disparaître. Les principales menaces qui affectent les sols sont leur érosion (par l'eau, le vent ou le labour), la perte de carbone organique et les déséquilibres nutritifs liés principalement au changement d'affectation des sols (urbanisation, défrichement), ainsi qu'à l'intensification de l'agriculture et de la déforestation.
Réaction alcali-granulatLes réactions alcali-granulat (aussi connues sur l'acronyme RAG) constituent une famille de réactions de dégradation endogènes aux bétons. Ces réactions ont lieu entre les ions hydroxyles (OH−) accompagnés (en raison de l'électro-neutralité des solutions aqueuses) par les ions alcalins solubles (Na+, K+) présents dans la solution interstitielle du béton (principalement ions sodium et potassium) et les granulats.
Occupational stressOccupational stress is psychological stress related to one's job. Occupational stress refers to a chronic condition. Occupational stress can be managed by understanding what the stressful conditions at work are and taking steps to remediate those conditions. Occupational stress can occur when workers do not feel supported by supervisors or coworkers, feel as if they have little control over the work they perform, or find that their efforts on the job are incommensurate with the job's rewards.
Progressive muscle relaxationProgressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is a method of deep muscle relaxation that does not involve any medications, meaning it is a non-pharmacological intervention. The idea behind progressive muscle relaxation is that there is a relationship between a person's mind and body. The body responds to its environment by creating certain mind or body states such as anxiety, stress, and fear. When the body is in these states, the muscles tense up. Progressive muscle relaxation aims to reverse these body states back to more neutral, relaxed states.
