1 Expectations and administrative pressures
The medical prognoses and diagnoses of dying raise expectations of what will actually happen to the dying person. For example, someone is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, they will be given a forecast that covers the estimated length of time before death, any likely symptoms, the development of the illness, and possible treatment(s). Of course, these types of medical expectations are not unique to death and dying: they are found in all treatments of illness, and no doubt you will have had

Advection d'un scalaire et caractéristiques (Ondes de surface et ressauts)
Ce cours détaille la résolution de l'équation 1D d'advection d'un champ scalaire par une vitesse qui peut dépendre de l'espace, du temps ou de la valeur du champ advecté. On montre que cette résolution passe par la construction de courbes caractéristiques qui sont les trajectoires de particules fictives animée de la vitesse d'advection. L'équation d'advection peut-être alors vue comme l'égalité entre la dérivation du scalaire le long de ces courbes et du terme de production. La lect

1.1 A milestone in the advancement of astronomy
Unaided human eyes, well as they may serve the needs of everyday life, are not very suitable for detailed astronomical observation. First, the eye has a limited sensitivity. A distant source of light, such as a star, will not be seen at all unless the intensity of light from it reaching your eye is above the sensitivity threshold of the retina. Second, the ability of the eye to distinguish fine detail is limited by the finite physical size of the detectors on the retina and by the small apert
