  RABELAIS , Gargantua (1542), chap. XXI Orthographe modernisée ***** Très cher fils, Entre les dons, grâces et prérogatives desquelles le souverain plasmateur Dieu tout puissant a endouairé et aorné l'humaine nature à son commencement, celle-ci me semble singulière et excellente, par laquelle elle peut en état mortel acquérir espèce d'immortalité et, en décours de vie transitoire, perpétuer son nom et sa semence : ce qui est fait par lignée issue de nous en mariage légitime....

• Le mot "faible" dans l'oeuvre de DESCARTES

  sans qu'il faille imaginer d'autre cause qui fasse que les parties du sang qui, étant les plus agitées et les plus pénétrantes, sont lesplus propres à composer ces esprits, se vont rendre plutôt vers le cerveau que vers ailleurs, sinon que les artères qui les y portentsont celles qui viennent du coeur le plus en ligne droite de toutes, et que, selon les règles des mécaniques, qui sont les mêmes quecelles de la nature, lorsque plusieurs choses tendent ensemble à se mouvoir vers un même côté où il...

  After some half-hour's delay Mr Squeers reappeared, and the boys took their places and their books, of which latter commodity the average might be about one toeight learners. A few minutes having elapsed, during which Mr Squeers looked very profound, as if he had a perfect apprehension of what was inside all the books,and could say every word of their contents by heart if he only chose to take the trouble, that gentleman called up the first class. Obedient to this summons there ranged themse...

• chinoise, littérature.

  conditionné par une bonne maîtrise des classiques confucianistes. Cette pratique, qui se perpétuera presque sans discontinuer jusqu’au début du XXe siècle, a contribué naturellement à figer la tradition littéraire nationale. 3 LA PÉRIODE CLASSIQUE ( III E-XII E SIÈCLE) À partir du début de la période classique et jusqu’au VII e siècle, la Chine est non seulement morcelée en différents États engagés dans des conflits perpétuels, mais elle a en outre à subir les invasions répétées des tribus b...

• Gemstones.

  In the late 1960s a method was developed for “growing” diamonds by heating a diamond particle to a high temperature and subjecting it to methane gas. The gasdecomposes into carbon atoms, which adhere to the diamond crystal. The crystal structure of the enlarged diamond is identical to that of a natural diamond. Diamondsof about 1 carat (200 mg or 0.007 oz) have been produced by this method, but their cost is still considerably higher than that of naturally occurring diamonds. Sapphires are made...

• Optics I INTRODUCTION Mirage Mirages appear because differences in air temperature cause light rays from an object to take different paths to a viewer's eye.

  Refraction of Light by DiamondsThe brilliance of diamonds is due to their high refractive index, a measure of how strongly a transparent material bendslight rays. The skill of the gem-cutter lies in angling the facets of the stone so that each light ray entering it is reflectedmany times before it emerges again.Spencer Grant/Photo Researchers, Inc. The amount of light reflected depends on the ratio of the refractive indexes for the two media. The plane of incidence contains the incident ray and...

• Electricity I INTRODUCTION Electricity, one of the basic forms of energy.

  electrons in the neutral object are attracted to the positive object. Some of these electrons flow to the side of the neutral object that is nearest to the positive object.This side of the neutral object accumulates electrons and becomes negatively charged. Because electrons leave the far side of the neutral object while its protonsremain stationary, that side becomes positively charged. Since the negatively charged side of the neutral object is closest to the positive object, the attraction bet...

• Hinduism.

  they do not share any basic terms. B Sanātana Dharma Evidence from inscriptions indicates that Hindus had begun to use the word dharma for their religion by the 7th century. After other religions of Indian origin also began to use this term, Hindus then adopted the expression san ātana dharma to distinguish their dharma from others. The word san ātana, meaning immemorial as well as eternal, emphasized the unbroken continuity of the Hindu tradition in contrast to the other dharmas . The Bu...
