Definition of conduction in English:

conduction

noun kənˈdʌkʃ(ə)nkənˈdəkʃ(ə)n
mass noun
  • 1The process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through the material of a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Vanadium-vanadium bonds are stable below the transition temperature, which ‘lock’ the electrons and prevent conduction.
    • So far, electron conduction has only been found in a few, high electron-affinity organic semiconductors, until now.
    • Under equal electrochemical potential gradients, conduction of protons across ion channels occurs at a rate typically an order-of-magnitude higher than that of other small ions.
    • Heat will only leave the container by radiation, convection and conduction if the temperature of the container is higher than the surroundings.
    • The successive hops clearly do not have to involve an individually tagged proton; in this respect, proton currents resemble electrical conduction in a conductor.
    • Better heat conduction allows cooler internal operating temperature and hence less cracking and longer life.
    • This is the concept behind electrical conduction.
    • Electrical wiring and telephone lines can transmit such signals by conduction; walls can vibrate subtly, as can pipes, beams, ducts, and the like.
    • In solids that conduct electricity, heat conduction is further enhanced by the drift of free electrons.
    • Now physicists at Northwestern University show that, using the fact that electrons carry heat as well as charge, the conduction of heat may be similarly tuned.
    • Heat gain or loss results from four heat exchange processes - convection, conduction, radiation and evaporation.
    • The disk is cooled primarily by conduction across the gap region, which can be filled with high-thermal-conductivity gases like helium.

    • ‘This is opposite of what you would think in terms of simple and ordinary heat conduction,’ Dlott said.
    • There are four processes by which the body rids itself of excess heat: conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation.

      • Disturbances in this ration can alter cardiac rhythms, transmission and conduction of nerve impulses, and muscle contraction.
      • Myelination increases substantially the speed of conduction of nerve impulses.
      • Cocaine blocks the initiation or conduction of nerve impulses following local application by blocking depolarization via sodium influx inhibition.
      • Second degree heart block results from partial blockade to impulse conduction; some impulses are conducted to the ventricles but others are blocked.
      • Its most important action is its ability to block the initiation or conduction of the nerve impulse following local application.
      • A flutter is defined as a rhythmic cycling of an electrical impulse and a fibrillation is defined as uncoordinated and ‘out-of-control’ impulse conduction.

      • If aluminium causes direct neuronal death, why would this lead to slowing of conduction along the axons of the optic nerves?
      • It is the influx of sodium into the cell that is responsible for generating an action potential, which causes depolarization and conduction of the nerve impulse.
      • A further burden is the high content of neurofilament protein susceptible to oxidative and nitrative changes leading to misfolding and aggregations and poor nerve conduction.
      • After nerve conduction tests the diagnosis was peripheral sensory neuropathy.
      • MS occurs when parts of the covering of the brain and spinal cord are lost, which disrupts the conduction of the nerve impulse.
      • Local anesthetics block the generation and conduction of all nerve impulses - sensory, motor, and autonomic - depending on the site of injection.
