Metamaterial antennaMetamaterial antennas are a class of antennas which use metamaterials to increase performance of miniaturized (electrically small) antenna systems. Their purpose, as with any electromagnetic antenna, is to launch energy into free space. However, this class of antenna incorporates metamaterials, which are materials engineered with novel, often microscopic, structures to produce unusual physical properties. Antenna designs incorporating metamaterials can step-up the antenna's radiated power.
Active-pixel sensorAn active-pixel sensor (APS) is an , which was invented by Peter J.W. Noble in 1968, where each pixel sensor unit cell has a photodetector (typically a pinned photodiode) and one or more active transistors. In a metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) active-pixel sensor, MOS field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) are used as amplifiers. There are different types of APS, including the early NMOS APS and the now much more common complementary MOS (CMOS) APS, also known as the CMOS sensor.
Évolution systématique de ligands par enrichissement exponentielLa méthode Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX), en français évolution systématique de ligands par enrichissement exponentiel, est une méthode de sélection in vitro, à partir de banques combinatoires d'oligonucléotides synthétiques. Les oligonucléotides sélectionnés sont capables de fixer sélectivement un ligand donné, avec une affinité élevée et spécifique. Initialement mise au point avec des ARN, cette technique a ensuite été généralisée aux oligonucléotides ADN.
Fin de vieEnd-of-life care refers to health care provided in the time leading up to a person's death. End-of-life care can be provided in the hours, days, or months before a person dies and encompasses care and support for a person's mental and emotional needs, physical comfort, spiritual needs, and practical tasks. EoLC is most commonly provided at home, in the hospital, or in a long-term care facility with care being provided by family members, nurses, social workers, physicians, and other support staff.
AlprazolamL'alprazolam est une benzodiazépine de la famille des triazolobenzodiazépines utilisée comme un anxiolytique d'action rapide. En France, l'alprazolam est la benzodiazépine la plus prescrite et est connue sous son nom commercial Xanax. Il possède les effets caractéristiques de cette famille de tranquillisants : c'est un anxiolytique et un hypnotique, il est myorelaxant, anticonvulsivant et amnésiant. L'alprazolam est principalement utilisé pour ses propriétés anxiolytiques.
