 Disk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biology, an intervertebral disc is a cartilaginous joint between vertebrae in the spine of vertebrate animals.
In astrophysics, an accretion disc or disk is a structure formed by material falling into a gravitational source.
Whatever their heritage, in computer jargon today it is common for the k-spelling to refer mainly to magnetic storage devices, while the c-spelling is customary for optical media such as the compact disc and similar technologies.

 Compact Disc - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch
Compact discs are made from a 1.2 mm thick disc of polycarbonate plastic coated with a much thinner aluminium (originally gold, which is sometimes still used for its data longevity) layer which is protected by a film of lacquer.
Compact disc technology was later adapted for use as a data storage device, known as a CD-ROM.
The second is that timing markers on the disc with a value between 90 and 99 minutes are normally used to indicate to the player it is reading the beginning of the disc, not the end.

 thoracic disc
Thoracic disc prolapse is rare an event due to the bony thoracic cage permitting limited movements, the anterior-posterior direction of the apophyseal joints, and relatively small size of thoracic disc.
Parts of the pedicles are removed with a drill and the dura and disc are identified and the disc is removed.
Thoracic disc surgery is described as the most devastating of all the disc surgeries.

 Spine Inc. - Prolapsed Disc
Although any disc in the entire spine can prolapse or burst, the most common ones to which this happens are the lowest two, that is between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae and between the fifth lumbar and the top of the sacrum.
If you have prolapsed disc the first thing your doctor will want to do will be to make sure that your problem is caused by a disc that is misbehaving - and if it is a disc that is causing the trouble he or she will want to know which one.
Because the discs themselves have virtually no nerve supply it is only when a disc prolapses and presses onto a nerve or some other vulnerable part of your spine that you will notice any symptoms.

 Disc - Epitonic.com: Hi Quality Free and Legal MP3 Music
Disc is a collaborative project between Jay Lesser (aka LSR and Lesser), Kid606, and Drew Daniel and Martin Schmidt of Matmos.
Disc has chosen to make the casual search for a particular song or locked groove intentionally difficult, as certain riffs, noises, and glitches reappear across both sides of the transparent vinyl.
As if Disc's extended compositions weren't enough to confuse and amaze every listener, their use of locked grooves demonstrates the collective's pure genius.

 DISC - Automated Solutions for Enterprise Storage
DISC was tasked with providing a complete archival solution for many years worth of files.
DISC was selected for its installation at the US Army at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
Recognizing the exponential growth of their data, the Army selected two DISC Orion Series storage libraries, giving them up to 20 TBs of seamless storage, and reduced necessary floor space to two compact storage libraries the size of file cabinets.

 SLIPPED DISC
When the disc is decompressed, the pressure on the nerve is released, and this may rapidly relieve pain and permit restoration of lost muscle function.
However, disc material degenerates naturally as we age, and the ligaments that hold it in place begin to weaken.
Most slipped discs respond well to conservative treatment, and a carefully designed exercise program to strengthen the surrounding muscles.

 AllRefer.com - slipped disc (Pathology) - Encyclopedia
Material from the disc may press on spinal nerves and cause numbness or tingling, weakness, or paralysis in the area of the body enervated by those nerves.
These discs separate and cushion the vertebrae, the segments of the spinal column.
slipped disc, rupture or herniation of an intervertebral disc.

 Intervertebral Disc
The incidence of a second intervertebral disc extrusion that would also require surgery for resolution of the problem is less than 1% in the cervical area and less than 3% in the thoracolumbar area.
The extruded disc material is removed, thus relieving compression of the spinal cord and/or nerve root.
A protrusion implies that the disc nuclear material has not escaped into the spinal canal but it is bulging into the fibrous portion of the disc.

 Understanding CD-R & CD-RW - Disc Longevity
However, to calculate disc life spans within some practical timeframe blank media manufacturers do conduct accelerated age testing by subjecting samples of their discs to environments much beyond those experienced under normal storage conditions.
Well-designed products, such as CD-R and CD-RW, allow for seamless transition to the next generation and ultimately, since they embody digital information, contents can be transferred to future storage systems as becomes necessary to preserve whatever has been stored on the discs.
The life span of a written disc depends upon a number of factors including such things as the intrinsic properties of the materials used in the disc’s construction, its manufactured quality, how well it is recorded and its physical handing and storage.

 Symptomatic Disc Bulges and Herniations without Nerve Root Impingement and Compromise David J. BenEliyahu, DC
The annulus of the disc has been shown by Bogduk and others to be well innervated with both sensory and autonomic/sympathetic fibers of the sinuvertebral nerve.
CT discography is an invasive diagnostic test whereby dye is injected into the nucleus of a disc and subsequent CT scans are obtained to see if and where there are leaks and whether or not there is pain-provocation and reproduction of symptoms.
Recent studies with CT/discography have shown that there is an entity of internal disc disruption that can cause the patient pain prior to disc protrusion that may be evident on MRI or CT scans.

 Lumbar degenerative disc disease
The injury weakens the disc and creates excessive micro-motionat the corresponding vertebral level because the disc cannot hold the vertebral segment together as well as it used to.
As the population ages, it is even more common for individuals to have signs of disc degeneration without pain, and by the time an individual reaches 60 years old, disc degeneration is an expected finding on an MRI scan.
It is important to note that disc degeneration is part of the natural process of aging and does not necessarily lead to low back pain.

 USATODAY.com - Artificial disc offers pain relief
The artificial disc, which is a hard plastic core floating between two metal plates, replaces a damaged or diseased disc and preserves movement, Bitan says.
And there are risks: The surgery to implant the disc is similar to most fusions, and with this type of surgery, there is always a risk of vascular injury, Bitan says.
In studies, the artificial disc enabled patients to return to work sooner than patients who received spinal fusions, says John Regan, a spine surgeon at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and also a clinical investigator for the FDA trials.

 Howstuffworks "How Disc Brakes Work"
Vented disc brakes have a set of vanes, between the two sides of the disc, that pumps air through the disc to provide cooling.
In a disc brake, the brake pads squeeze the rotor instead of the wheel, and the force is transmitted hydraulically instead of through a cable.
The disc brake is a lot like the brakes on a bicycle.

 Disc Golf Disc Reviews
With the large number of new discs being released each year it is often tedious and expensive to purchase one or two of everything to give it a try and then spending the time to shoot it out against what you currently carry.
disc reviews and descriptions of golf discs from various manufacturers in order to share knowledge and help players find discs that fit their style and improve their game.
I am aware that everyone throws differently and will have a different opinion of each disc, but I have found that hearing "it flies like a cyclone but a little faster and more understable." is a lot more helpful than the companies description of "it's the new long range driver.
