Meanings of heavy ions in English

Nucleus-nucleus collisions can result in the breakup of heavy ions into lighter ions.

Genetic and developmental effects of heavy ions in maize and rice were investigated.

Experimental results suggest that the potential application of heavy ions in crop improvement is promising.

Clinical results with heavy ions such as carbon ions seem very promising in certain tumors.

This cytotoxicity biosensor was tested by ionizing radiation (X-rays and accelerated heavy ions) exposure.

Maybe even heavy ions, targeted exactly to pass through the wire array in order to transfer momentum via magnetic induction.

Carbon doses isoeffective to the x-ray doses were computed with a recently established model for calculation of the biological effect of heavy ions.

These findings indicate the importance of an intercellular signal transduction pathway initiated by nitric oxide in the cellular response to accelerated heavy ions.

Finally, the cell line was used for biological weighting of heavy ions of different linear energy transfer (LET) as space-relevant radiation quality.

Heavy ions also bear the advantage of superior dose distribution and may additionally provide higher biological effectivity.
