  2. Exponential decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_decay

    Exponential decay. A quantity undergoing exponential decay. Larger decay constants make the quantity vanish much more rapidly. This plot shows decay for decay constant ( λ) of 25, 5, 1, 1/5, and 1/25 for x from 0 to 5. A quantity is subject to exponential decay if it decreases at a rate proportional to its current value.

  3. Decay chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_chain

    v. t. e. In nuclear science, the decay chain refers to a series of radioactive decays of different radioactive decay products as a sequential series of transformations. It is also known as a "radioactive cascade". The typical radioisotope does not decay directly to a stable state, but rather it decays to another radioisotope.

  4. Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence-lifetime...

    Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy. Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy or FLIM is an imaging technique based on the differences in the exponential decay rate of the photon emission of a fluorophore from a sample. It can be used as an imaging technique in confocal microscopy, two-photon excitation microscopy, and multiphoton tomography.

  5. Relaxation (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_(physics)

    Relaxation (physics) In the physical sciences, relaxation usually means the return of a perturbed system into equilibrium . Each relaxation process can be categorized by a relaxation time τ. The simplest theoretical description of relaxation as function of time t is an exponential law exp (−t/τ) ( exponential decay ).

  6. Half-life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life

    Half-life (symbol t½) is the time required for a quantity (of substance) to reduce to half of its initial value. The term is commonly used in nuclear physics to describe how quickly unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay or how long stable atoms survive. The term is also used more generally to characterize any type of exponential (or, rarely ...

  7. Enzyme kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme_kinetics

    This can be modeled by introducing several Michaelis-Menten pathways that are connected with fluctuating rates, which is a mathematical extension of the basic Michaelis Menten mechanism. Software. ENZO (Enzyme Kinetics) is a graphical interface tool for building kinetic models of enzyme catalyzed reactions. ENZO automatically generates the ...

  8. Weissberger's model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weissberger's_model

    Weissberger's model. Weissberger’s modified exponential decay model, or simply, Weissberger’s model, is a radio wave propagation model that estimates the path loss due to the presence of one or more trees in a point-to-point telecommunication link. This model belongs to the category Foliage or Vegetation models.

  9. Caesium-137 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137

    Caesium-137 ( 137. 55Cs. ), cesium-137 (US), [7] or radiocaesium, is a radioactive isotope of caesium that is formed as one of the more common fission products by the nuclear fission of uranium-235 and other fissionable isotopes in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
