PHILADELPHIA P. BLAKISTON'S SON & CO. 1012 WALNUT STREET Copyright, 1921, by P. Blakiston's Son & Co. TSK Maple phbbb tokk fa PREFACE The wealth of scientific information which French medicine has to offer can properly be grasped by those who are able to be in constant touch with the literature in its original language. The monumental work of the in- dividual investigators in each chosen specialty is overwhelming by its pro- found erudition. The accumulated data during the recent war prove amply that the power of observation in its accuracy and precision as revealed by French scientists deserves special attention. To those who are willing to follow up closely the progress in French medicine in the original writings the present Dictionary is offered. Moreover, those who since the cessation of hostilities have decided to continue the study of the language will find in the Dictionary a means of learning its proper pronunciation. Each French word is accompanied by a combination of letters in English giving the pro- nunciation as accurately as possible. On a separate page a key for the latter is added and should be consulted frequently. Finally on the last page a table is presented showing measurements in the metric system corresponding to that used in United States. Alfred Gordon. Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2008 with funding from IVIicrosoft Corporation http://www.archive.org/details/frenchenglishmedOOgorduoft KEY TO THE PRONUNCIATION OF THE FRENCH WORDS French a is designated as "ah" (English). It should have the same sound as "a" in the word "margin." ^ or e is designated as "eh" (English). Pronounce as "e" in the word "never." e (not accented) is pronounced as " eh " but with lips very slightly open. eu'xs also designated as "eh," but the "e" of "never" should be pronounced with the lips only very slightly opened and prolonged. oeu. Same as "eu." i should be pronounced as English "e" but the sound must be soft and prolonged. It is designated as "ee" (like "ea" in "teamster"). is designated as "oh" like in the English exclamation: oh! u is pronounced like the English "u," but the pouting of the lips must be very much less marked. eille is designated as "ay." That means that the letter "a." of the "ay" should be pronounced like "a" in "table" but more prolonged and soft. y is designated as English "ee" and pronounced like French "e" (see above). en is designated as "ahn." It should be pronounced like the French "a" (see above), but prolonged and soon abandoned with a nasal intonation. The "n" of the "ahn" should not be distinct. But in "enn" there should be no nasal intonation and both n's must be distinctly pronounced. c before "e" or "i" must be pronounced like "s." lion is designated as "ssion;" in which the "i" is pronounced like a very soft English "e" and very rapidly joined to "on." The "n" should be given a nasal intonation but not a distinct English "n." g before the vowels "e" and "i" is to be pronounced as "zsh." j the same as "g." ou is to be pronounced as English "oo" in the word "smooth." oi is to be pronounced as English "ooah" but rapidly. eui is designated as "ehy" in which the "eh" is pronounced as above (see "eu") and the "y" is added only to render the "eh" soft and prolonged but it should not be pronounced like an English "y."i at is designated as "eh" (see above for the latter). OMJ is designated as "ooy." The "y" should not be pronounced like English "y." It is added only to render the "oo" sound prolonged and especially "soft." illo is designated as "eeyoh." For the pronunciation of "ee" and "oh" see above. The "y" is added to render the "o" very soft. in is designated as "ehn." For pronunciation see "eh." The latter sound must be prolonged and ended abruptly with a nasal intonation, but the "n" should not be pronounced as a distinct English "n." All French words of more than one syllable are accentuated on their last syllable. ' A, ou A.A.

  • Dynamic Evaluation of Forces During Mastication
    Project Number: ME-SYS-0787 Dynamic Evaluation of Forces During Mastication A Major Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Justin McGarry Anthony Spangenberger Date: Approval: Professor Satya Shivkumar, Advisor Abstract A reproduction of the human masticatory system is presented here to evaluate mechanical properties of foods, relevant design elements of the simulator, and the overall practicality of the system. The model incorporates a cam-driven linkage system providing realistic motion of the mandible, with reaction forces measured by strain gages on two axes to record real time changes in food structure. The experiment demonstrates that the construction of a mastication simulator is feasible and allows texture profiling and discrimination between similar foods. i Acknowledgements Our MQP was completed with the help of several individuals who offered professional advice and technical guidance. We would like to thank Prof. Satya Shivkumar, our project advisor, for guiding us with his extensive knowledge of materials and testing procedures, Prof. John Hall for his help with the sensors used in this project and his willingness to lend some of the necessary equipment, Prof. Robert Norton for his advice on the fixture design, Fred Hutson for lending equipment from the physics department for use in calibration of the fixture, Randy Robinson for the computer used for recording data, Neil Whitehouse, Toby Bergstrom, and Adam

  • Forensic Archaeology & Forensic Anthropology
    Forensic Archaeology & Forensic Anthropology ADJ14 Advanced Criminal Investigations Anthropology & Archaeology ´ Anthropology is the study of the biological and cultural aspects of all humans in all places in all times. ´ Archaeology is the study of human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artifacts and other physical remains. Introduction to Forensic Archaeology & Forensic Anthropology ´ Forensic Anthropology is the field of study that deals with the analysis of human skeletal remains resulting from unexplained deaths. Experts in the discipline, because of their understanding of skeletal biology, examine human bones with the goal of extracting information about persons represented by skeletal remains and circumstances surrounding death (Byers, 2011). ´ Forensic Archaeology is a subfield of forensic anthropology, and forensic archaeology is the forensic application of archaeological techniques. Archaeology is the study of humans, both modern and ancient. Specifically, forensic archeologists perform the controlled recovery of human remains and other evidence at forensic scenes. Proper archeological procedures generally require significant time and attention to detail, and so the process may seem rather slow to investigators. However, the end result of this effort is the ability to exactly reconstruct the entire scene as it appeared before excavation (Nawracki, 1996). Forensic Anthropology ´ Forensic anthropologists attempt to accomplish 5 main objectives in their work: ① When soft tissue has deteriorated to the point that demographic characteristics of a body cannot be determined by visual inspection, they attempt to determine ancestry, sex, age, and living height from the skeleton. ② When there is evidence of traumatic injury (bullet holes, stab wounds, fractures) to human bone, forensic anthropologists attempt to identify the nature of the traumas and their causative agent pertaining to cause and manner of death.

Barnard and Mendoza: Variations in the Finger Length of the Human Hand Variations in the Finger Length of the Human Hand By ELIZABETH BARNARD AND G. MENDOZA INTRODUCTION Although a great deal has been written concerning the occur­ rence of abnormalities of the hands and fingers, relatively few studies have been made to determine variations of the normal hand. The purpose of this study is to gather some valid statistics concerning the occurrence of variations in finger length within a segment of the general population. It is hoped that this study will serve as the beginning of a valid basis upon which a study of human inheritance can be built. Because the interindividual difference in the pattern of finger length consists in the relationship between the index and ring fingers, this varying relation has been most often reported in the literature.

  • Cubital Tunnel Syndrome)
    DISEASES & CONDITIONS Ulnar Nerve Entrapment at the Elbow (Cubital Tunnel Syndrome) Ulnar nerve entrapment occurs when the ulnar nerve in the arm becomes compressed or irritated. The ulnar nerve is one of the three main nerves in your arm. It travels from your neck down into your hand, and can be constricted in several places along the way, such as beneath the collarbone or at the wrist. The most common place for compression of the nerve is behind the inside part of the elbow. Ulnar nerve compression at the elbow is called "cubital tunnel syndrome." Numbness and tingling in the hand and fingers are common symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome. In most cases, symptoms can be managed with conservative treatments like changes in activities and bracing. If conservative methods do not improve your symptoms, or if the nerve compression is causing muscle weakness or damage in your hand, your doctor may recommend surgery. This illustration of the bones in the shoulder, arm, and hand shows the path of the ulnar nerve. Reproduced from Mundanthanam GJ, Anderson RB, Day C: Ulnar nerve palsy. Orthopaedic Knowledge Online 2009. Accessed August 2011. Anatomy At the elbow, the ulnar nerve travels through a tunnel of tissue (the cubital tunnel) that runs under a bump of bone at the inside of your elbow. This bony bump is called the medial epicondyle. The spot where the nerve runs under the medial epicondyle is commonly referred to as the "funny bone." At the funny bone the nerve is close to your skin, and bumping it causes a shock-like feeling.

  • Breathing Techniques for Kids (Toolkit)
    BREATHING TECHNIQUES FOR KIDS exercises to center kids and help them focus CREATIVE TECHNIQUES SQUARE BREATHING On their desk or table, have kids trace a horizontal line with their fingers for a count of four as they breathe in (the top of the square). Then, trace downward to form the side of the square as they hold the breath for a count of four. Then they trace horizontally again to make the bottom of the square as they exhale. Finally, they trace upward to form the other side of the square as they hold their breath out for a count of four. Repeat. DRAW YOUR BREATH Give the children a marker and a sheet of paper. Have them place their marker on the paper. As they inhale and exhale, have them allow their markers to move up and down on the sheet. The end product is a scribble–an image of their breath! PHYSICAL TECHNIQUES TUMBLE DRYER Sitting in cross-legged position, point your index fingers towards each other and position them so your left finger is pointing to the right and your right finger is pointing to the left, overlapping a bit in front of your mouth. Inhale, then blow out as you spin your fingers round each other, making a long exhalation and a satisfying swishy sound. ALTERNATE NOSTRIL BREATHING For this breathing exercise, kids bring attention to their breath by holding one nostril closed as they breathe in and then holding the other nostril closed as they breathe out. SHOULDER ROLLS Sit comfortably. As you breathe in, roll your shoulders up and back.

  • Palm Reading
    Palm Reading Also known as palmistry or chiromancy, palm reading is practiced all over the world with roots in Indian astrology and gypsy fortune-telling. The objective is to evaluate a person’s character and aspects of their life by studying the palm of their hand. There is no substantiate evidence of correlation between palm features and psychological traits; palm reading is for entertainment purposes. Getting Started Which hand to read? There are two main practices: For males, the left hand is what you’re born with, and the right is what you’ve accumulated throughout your life. For females, it’s the opposite. Your dominant hand (the hand you use most often) determines your future and your other, non-dominant hand, is used to determine the past or hidden traits Take these into consideration when choosing which hand to read. Reading the Primary Lines of your Hand 1. Interpret the Heart Line This line is believed to indicate emotional stability, romantic perspectives, depression, and cardiac health. Begins below the index finger = content with love life Begins below the middle finger = selfish when it comes to love Begins in-between the middle and index fingers = caring and understanding Is straight and short = less interest in romance Touches life line = heart is broken easily Is long and curvy = freely expresses emotions and feelings Is straight and parallel to the head line = good handle on emotions Is wavy = many relationships, absence of serious relationships Circle on the line = sad or depressed Broken line = emotional trauma 2. Examine the Head Line This line represents learning style, communication style, intellectualism, and thirst for knowledge.
