Vieillissement

Decomposing of matter with the help of fungus and bacteria; matter is completely oxidized.

The spontaneous conversion of a nuclide into another nuclide or into another energy state of the same nuclide. Every decay process has a certain half-life.

The lay term for carious lesions in a tooth; decomposition of tooth structure.

late 15c., "to decrease," from Anglo-French decair, Old North French decair (Old French decheoir, 12c., Modern French déchoir) "to fall, set (of the sun), weaken, decline, decay," [..]

mid-15c., "deterioration, decline in value," from decay (v.). Meaning "gradual decrease in radioactivity" is from 1897.

A term used to describe how the theoretical value of an option erodes or declines with the passage of time. Time decay is specifically quantified by Theta.

Disintegration of atomic nuclei resulting in the emission of alpha or beta particles (usually with gamma radiation). Also the exponential decrease in radioactivity of a material as nuclear disintegrat [..]

In ocean wave studies, the loss of energy from wind-generated ocean waves after they have ceased to be acted on by the wind. This process is accompanied by an increase in wave length and a decrease in [..]

The spontaneous transformation of one radioisotope into one or more different isotopes (known as “decay products” or “daughter products”), accompanied by a decrease in radioactivity (compared to the parent material). This transformation takes place over a defined period of time (known as a “half-life”), as a result of electron capture; fission; or [..]

A loss in the clarity or readability of an electronic signal caused bythe interaction of the signal with its carrier and electrical environment.

Theory which states that memory fades and/or disappears over time if it is not used or accessed.

The decrease in activity of any radioactive material with the passage of time due to spontaneous emission from the atomic nuclei of either alpha or beta particles, sometimes accompanied by gamma radia [..]

Term for cavities; the decomposition of tooth structure. Deciduous teeth: These are the first teeth a child gets. They are also called primary teeth or baby teeth.

Decay is a type of forgetting that occurs when memories fade over time. This does NOT apply to Long Term Memory, but rather sensory storage and Short Term Memory. The main reason this occurs in sensor [..]

 

The decrease in the amount of any radioactive material with the passage of time due to the spontaneous emission from the atomic nuclei of either alpha or beta particles, often accompanied by gamma rad [..]

The change of one radioactive nuclide into a different nuclide by the spontaneous emission of alpha, beta, or gamma rays, or by electron capture. The end product is a less energetic, more stable nucle [..]

A process in which a particle disappears and in its place two or more different particles appear. The sum of the masses of the produced particles is always less than the mass of the original particle.

Exotic particles produced at accelerators are often very short-lived, and can transform into lighter, less exotic products, such as electrons and photons. This process of transformation is known as decay.

Also known as Radioactive Decay . Radioactive substances undergo radioactive decay, the rate of which is determined by the properties of the radionuclide. As decay proceeds the resulting activity of t [..]

A deterioration of condition or plaque on ones teeth.

  Rotting or wasting away of an organic matter.

serif"> - The gradual reduction of the quantity of some substance or energy form to zero.

The time of reduction of the level of a signal immediately after its cessation.

[1] the aspect of the end of a sound in which the sound diminishes in loudness and into apparent silence.

The characteristic fall-off in volume that occurs after a sound has been played. Decay is often confused with release, which can only occur if the sound has some amount of sustain.

one of the four basic stages of an envelope. Refers to the time the sound takes to settle into its sustain level.

  In relation to the envelope of a sound, the second stage of a sound as defined by the time it takes for the signal to go from its peak amplitude to its sustain amplitude.

Change of an element into a different element, usually with some other particle(s) and energy emitted.

The fadeout of a note, it follows the attack.

Localized destruction of the Tooth surface initiated by decalcification of the Enamel followed by enzymatic lysis of organic structures and Leading to cavity formation. If left unchecked, the cavity m [..]

An mRNA Metabolic Process that distinguishes a normal Stop Codon from a Premature Stop Codon (Nonsense Codon) and facilitates rapid degradation of aberrant mRNAs containing Premature Stop Codons.

The spontaneous transformation of a nuclide into one or more different nuclides, accompanied by either the emission of particles from the nucleus, nuclear capture or ejection of orbital Electrons, or [..]

The destruction of wood by bacteria, fungi and the like.

In physics, the breaking apart of nuclei into smaller constituent nuclei, releasing energetic particles in the process as there is less total energy.

To break down into smaller parts. When plants or animals die, their bodies decay. The nutrients that made up their bodies then go back into the soil and are re-used. Decomposers are organisms that hel [..]

This is the irreversible destruction of the contaminant by chemical, physical, or biological processes.

Destruction of tooth structure caused by toxins produced by bacteria. Deciduous teeth

vi. To undergo an implicit transformation to a value of slightly reduced type. Informally, arrays and functions tend to decay into pointers in C. See questions 6.3 and 1.34.

A term used to describe how the theoretical value of an option erodes or declines with the passage of time. Time decay is specifically quantified by Theta.

The gradual reduction in the magnitude of a quantity.

A slow change in a value or quantity.

Decay is the antithesis of evolution. While the evolution process involves progressive changes, the changes are degenerative in the case of decay.

The decomposition or oxidation of dead biomass, mostly through the actions of microorganisms.
