decay: the organic phenomenon of rotting
decay: The decrease in activity of any radionuclide [see radionuclide definition] over time, due to spontaneous emission of radiation from its atomic nuclei of either alpha particles [see alpha particles definition], beta particles [see definition] or gamma rays [see definition] The rate of decay for a radionuclide is related to its half-life [see half-life definition] (FEMA- Rep-5, 1992 ) Back to Top
decay: lose a stored charge, magnetic flux, or current; "the particles disintegrated during the nuclear fission process"
decay: Decrease of a radioactive substance because of nuclear emission of alpha or beta particles, positrons, or gamma rays See radioactivity In beta decay, for example, the emission of a -particle, i e , an electron, causes radioactive change into a daughter element of the same atomic weight as the parent element but of atomic number higher by 1
decay: The process whereby radioactive particles undergo a change from one form, or isotope, to another, releasing radioactive particles and/or energy
decay: fall into decay or ruin; "The unoccupied house started to decay"
decay: Disintegration of wood or other substance through the action of fungi
decay: The change of one radioactive nuclide into a different nuclide by the spontaneous emission of alpha, beta, or gamma radiation, or by electron capture The end product is a less energetic, more stable nucleus Each decay process has a definite half-life
decay: 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 nucleus Each decay process has a definite half-life
decay: The decrease in the amount of any radioactive material with the passage of time due to spontaneous emission from the atomic nuclei of either alpha or beta particles, often accompanied by gamma radiation Every radionuclide has a definite half-life
decay: the process of gradually becoming inferior
decay: 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 disintegrations take place and more stable nuclei are formed
decay: 1) The rate of reduction of the audio signal generated in synthesizers from the peak level to sustain level (see the term ADSR) 2) The fade out of the reverberation of a sound
decay: The spontaneous radioactive transformation of one nuclide into a different nuclide or into a different energy state of the same nuclide Every decay process has a definite half-life
decay: the spontaneous disintegration of a radioactive substance along with the emission of ionizing radiation
decay: In a traditional envelope, the time it takes for the enveloped setting to reach its sustain level after the Attack envelope stage

decay: The disintegration of organic materials into simpler forms, or into their original elements, by action of bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms
decay: undergo decay or decomposition; "The body started to decay and needed to be cremated
decay: To pass gradually from a sound, prosperous, or perfect state, to one of imperfection, adversity, or dissolution; to waste away; to decline; to fail; to become weak, corrupt, or disintegrated; to rot; to perish; as, a tree decays; fortunes decay; hopes decay
