What's the difference between fluence and particle?

Fluence


Definition:

  • (n.) Fluency.

Example Sentences:

  • (15) The threshold for the excitation of the GTPase activity in vitro is less than 10(-1) mumol.m-2 of blue light, consistent with participation in the blue low-fluence system identified in the same tissue.
  • (16) The exposure rate constant was determined by converting the count rate from a scintillation spectrometer into the photon-fluence rate incident upon the detector, then calculating the exposure rate from the photon-fluence rate.
  • (17) No discernible difference could be detected between the fluence-response curves of pyrimidine dimers for untreated and MMC-treated repair-deficient xeroderma pigmentosum cells of group A.
  • (18) The fluence-response curves for photoinduction in the cold and at 26 degrees C were identical, indicating that there are no enzymatic transduction processes during irradiation.
  • (19) The neutron fluence imparted to the irradiated subjects needs to be measured accurately in order to obtain meaningful results from diagnostic irradiations.
  • (20) Dose distributions were obtained using FFT convolutions of the kernels for each energy with the spectrally weighted fluence distributions for that energy.

Particle


Definition:

  • (n.) A minute part or portion of matter; a morsel; a little bit; an atom; a jot; as, a particle of sand, of wood, of dust.
  • (n.) Any very small portion or part; the smallest portion; as, he has not a particle of patriotism or virtue.
  • (n.) A crumb or little piece of concecrated host.
  • (n.) The smaller hosts distributed in the communion of the laity.
  • (n.) A subordinate word that is never inflected (a preposition, conjunction, interjection); or a word that can not be used except in compositions; as, ward in backward, ly in lovely.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Lung sections of rats exposed to quartz particles were significantly different.
  • (2) In oleate-labeled particles, besides phosphatidic acid the product of PLD action radioactivity was also detected in diglyceride as a result of resident phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, which hydrolyzed the phosphatidic acid.
  • (3) Subunits maintained under the above ionic conditions were compared with 30S and 50S particles at low (6 mM) magnesium concentration with respect to the reactivity of individual ribosomal proteins to lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination.
  • (4) Charcoal particles coated with the lipid extract were prepared and the suspension inoculated intravenously into mice.

  • (9) Interaction of viable macrophages with cationic particles at 37 degrees C resulted in their "internalization" within vesicles and coated pits and a closer apposition between many segments of plasmalemma than with neutral or anionic substances.
  • (10) A 2-fold increase in the dissolution rate was observed when the same number of particles was immobilized without macrophages.
  • (11) Photolysis of the photosystem I particles induces a progressive depletion of phylloquinone, however, photochemistry as assayed at room temperature by the photooxidation of P-700 is unaffected.
