Nuclei in a sentence

Multiple numbers of basidiospores can result, including odd numbers via degeneration of nuclei, or pairing up of nuclei, or lack of migration of nuclei.

The sun produces energy through nuclear fusion, where atomic nuclei combine to form heavier nuclei, releasing huge amounts of energy.

But nuclei have a positive charge that repels other positively charged nuclei, and they are bound together tightly by a force that physicists were only just beginning to understand.

However, in nuclei where β decay is forbidden but ββ decay is allowed, the process can be seen and a half-life measured. citation Thus, ββ decay is usually studied only for beta stable nuclei.

If Prout's hypothesis were true, something had to be neutralizing some of the charge of the hydrogen nuclei present in the nuclei of heavier atoms.

In supernova explosions, calcium is formed from the reaction of carbon with various numbers of alpha particles (helium nuclei), until the most common calcium isotope (containing 10 helium nuclei) has been synthesized.

Kinematically, a neutron can transfer more energy to light nuclei such as hydrogen or helium than to heavier nuclei.

Light nuclei (or nuclei smaller than iron and nickel), are sufficiently small and proton-poor for the nuclear force to overcome the repulsive Coulomb force.

Meiosis then gives rise to four haploid nuclei, usually followed by a further mitotic division that results in eight nuclei in each ascus.

Mossy fibers project directly to the deep nuclei, but also give rise to the following pathway: mossy fibers → granule cells → parallel fibers → Purkinje cells → deep nuclei.

Most of the energy produced at Vega's core is generated by the carbon nitrogen oxygen cycle ( CNO cycle ), a nuclear fusion process that combines protons to form helium nuclei through intermediary nuclei of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen.

No larger fragments than protons or helium nuclei (alpha particles) had ever been chipped away from nuclei, and to chip off a large number not nearly enough energy was available.

Nuclear fusion refers to reactions in which lighter nuclei are combined to become heavier nuclei.

One analysis would consider all vowel and consonants segments as syllable nuclei, another would consider only a small subset ( fricatives or sibilants ) as nuclei candidates, and another would simply deny the existence of syllables completely.

Ordinarily, atoms are mostly electron clouds by volume, with very compact nuclei at the center (proportionally, if atoms were the size of a football stadium, their nuclei would be the size of dust mites).

Periaqueductal grey (with hypothalamic hormone aid) hormonally signals reticular formation’s raphe nuclei to produce serotonin that inhibits laminae pain nuclei.

Since iron nuclei are more tightly bound than any heavier nuclei, any fusion beyond iron does not produce a net release of energy.

Such multiple-alpha-particle nuclides are totally stable up to 40 Ca (made of 10 helium nuclei), but heavier nuclei with equal and even numbers of protons and neutrons are tightly bound but unstable.

The flocculonodular lobe is the only part of the cerebellar cortex that does not project to the deep nuclei—its output goes to the vestibular nuclei instead.

The fusion of lighter nuclei, which creates a heavier nucleus and often a free neutron or proton, generally releases more energy than it takes to force the nuclei together; this is an exothermic process that can produce self-sustaining reactions.
