Flux

Flux

(Science: radiobiology) The total amount of a quantity passing through a given surface per unit time. Typical quantities include (magnetic) field lines, particles, heat, energy, mass of fluid, etc.

Common usage in plasma physics is for flux by itself to mean magnetic field flux, unless specified otherwise.

OK, so the West, East, North and South are only for confusion... Yep, in such case you're researching the effect of gravity. And yes, auxin flux is responsible for that. could you suggest me a possible hypothesis? And also... Suggest a biomolecular reason for any diffrences observed in the ...

Question about diffusion

... the surface area, the more area is available for diffusion. The equation for this is called Fick's Law of Diffusion: J = PA (C2-C1) Where J is the flux due to diffusion, P is a constant, C2-C1 is the concentration difference and A is the area. So the greater the area, the greater the flux due to ...

... can be understood in isolation. Rather it is a dynamic and adaptive structure whose component polymers and regulatory proteins are in constant flux.” Cell Mechanics and the Cytoskeleton – Nature 463 Jan 28 2010 485-492) The cell is typically about 80% water and when examined we note that the ...

5 best proofs of evolution

... I now tend to think they are, the atomic clocks in orbit do not present any variations of decay rate, while being exposed to the same neutrino flux), at least I learned a few things from that.
