(1) There are four processes by which the body rids itself of excess heat: conduction , convection, radiation, and evaporation.(2) A hot copper cube in contact with a cold iron cube would, for example, heat it primarily by conduction .(3) The disk is cooled primarily by conduction across the gap region, which can be filled with high-thermal-conductivity gases like helium.(4) So far, electron conduction has only been found in a few, high electron-affinity organic semiconductors, until now.(5) In solids that conduct electricity, heat conduction is further enhanced by the drift of free electrons.(6) Vanadium-vanadium bonds are stable below the transition temperature, which u2018locku2019 the electrons and prevent conduction .(7) After nerve conduction tests the diagnosis was peripheral sensory neuropathy.(8) The results show a dislocation of the nanotube indicative of a possible disassembly process that may influence the channel conduction .(9) Myelination increases substantially the speed of conduction of nerve impulses.(10) Although the medication did reduce some nerve sorbitol and there was some improvement in nerve conduction , the medication's efficacy was limited, and adverse effects were problematic.(11) Local anesthetics block the generation and conduction of all nerve impulses - sensory, motor, and autonomic - depending on the site of injection.(12) Electrical wiring and telephone lines can transmit such signals by conduction ; walls can vibrate subtly, as can pipes, beams, ducts, and the like.(13) We have seen how the normal outer and middle ears participate in sound conduction .(14) In a subset of patients monitored by serial testing, abnormalities in phrenic nerve conduction and diaphragmatic excursion normalized by 9 months after surgery.(15) Electrical conduction is the net motion of electric charge, and it cannot take place without the motion of matter on some scale.(16) A flutter is defined as a rhythmic cycling of an electrical impulse and a fibrillation is defined as uncoordinated and u2018out-of-controlu2019 impulse conduction .
