dividing the total dose of radiation therapy into several smaller, equal doses delivered over a period of several days
A separation process in which a certain quantity of a mixture is divided up into smaller quantities (fractions) in which the composition changes according to a gradient
separation into portions a process that uses heat to separate a substance into its components
The process whereby saturated hydrocarbons from natural gas are separated into distinct parts or fractions such as propane, butane, ethane, etc
A term used when the total dose of radiation is divided into smaller doses to give normal healthy cells time to heal
The process whereby saturated hydrocarbons from natural gas are separated into distinct parts or "fractions" such as propane, butane, ethane, etc
Controlled crystallization and separation techniques involving the separation of hard and soft fractions of a fat Such processes are often employed in the production of "winterized" oils, high stability frying oils and cocoa butter alternatives fats
Dividing the total dose of radiation into several small, equal doses delivered over a period of at least several days
The separation of a liquid mixture into separate parts by the preferential evaporation of the more volatile component
Any one of several processes, apart from radioactive decay, which results in change in the composition of the radioactive weapon debris As a result of fractionation, the delayed fallout generally contains relatively more of strontium-90 and cesium-137, which have gaseous precursors, than does the early fallout from a surface burst
The process for breaking natural gas liquids into component parts -- methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane and heavier hydrocarbons
