Études des femmesLes études des femmes (en anglais : women's studies) forment un champ d'études interdisciplinaire qui explore la politique, la société, les médias et l'histoire depuis des perspectives féminines et/ou féministes. Les méthodologies populaires de ce champ d'études incluent l'analyse de discours intersubjectifs, l'intersectionnalité, le multiculturalisme, le féminisme transnational, l'auto-ethnographie et les pratiques en matière de lectures liées à la théorie critique, au post-structuralisme et à la théorie queer.
Present valueIn economics and finance, present value (PV), also known as present discounted value, is the value of an expected income stream determined as of the date of valuation. The present value is usually less than the future value because money has interest-earning potential, a characteristic referred to as the time value of money, except during times of zero- or negative interest rates, when the present value will be equal or more than the future value. Time value can be described with the simplified phrase, "A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow".

BioadhesiveBioadhesives are natural polymeric materials that act as adhesives. The term is sometimes used more loosely to describe a glue formed synthetically from biological monomers such as sugars, or to mean a synthetic material designed to adhere to biological tissue. Bioadhesives may consist of a variety of substances, but proteins and carbohydrates feature prominently. Proteins such as gelatin and carbohydrates such as starch have been used as general-purpose glues by man for many years, but typically their performance shortcomings have seen them replaced by synthetic alternatives.
