| radio frequency or radiofrequency | <physics> Term used to describe electromagnetic radiation with frequencies less than infrared, but greater than audio frequencies, i.e., greater than about 15,000 Hz. Wavelengths are therefore less than about 20,000 km and greater than about 0.01 mm. (These numbers are not precise.) (09 Oct 1997) |

| radio frequency current drive | <radiobiology> Plasma waves in the radio-frequency range can be used to push plasma particles in such a way that current forms in the plasma, this is a method of non-inductive current drive which would allow for steady-state fusion reactors to operate. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| radio frequency heating | <radiobiology> Process for heating the plasma by transferring energy to ions or electrons using waves generated by an external oscillator at an appropriate frequency. (This is similar to how a microwave oven heats food.) There are various types: See: ECRH, ICRH, and Lower Hybrid. (09 Oct 1997) |
| radiofrequency | 1. Radiant energy of a certain frequency range; e.g., radio and television employ radiant energy having a frequency between 105-1011 Hz, while diagnostic X-rays have a frequency in the range of 3 × 1018 Hz. 2. In magnetic resonance imaging, the energy applied to switch or create a gradient in the magnetic field. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiofrequency plugging | <radiobiology> Use of axial ponderomotive force to plug an open-ended device. First demonstrated on RFC-XX, Institute of Plasma Physics, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan, and later demonstrated in the Phaedrus device at the University of Wisconsin. (09 Oct 1997) |
| radiofrequency pulse | In nuclear magnetic resonance, a short electromagnetic signal used to change the direction of the magnetic field. See: sequence pulse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiofrequency trapping | <radiobiology> Use of RF waves to pitch angle scatter particles flowing axially into a magnetic mirror cell. The particles are scattered out of the loss cone and are trapped. (See entries for pitch angle scattering, magnetic mirror, loss cone.) (09 Oct 1997) |
| radio | 1. <physics> The transmission and reception of electric impulses or signals by means of electric waves without a connecting wire, or the use of these waves for the wireless transmission of electric impulses into which sound is converted. 2. <anatomy, prefix> A combining form indicating connection with, or relation to, a radius or ray; specifically, with the radius of the forearm; as, radio-ulnar, radiomuscular, radiocarpal. Origin: L. Radius, ray (21 Jun 2000) |
| radio-flagellata | <zoology> A group of Protozoa having both flagella and pseudopodia. Origin: NL. See Radiate, and Flagellata. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| radio label | A mildly radioactive molecule that is used to tag another molecule (such as a protein) so that it can be identified as it goes through some kind of biochemical process. (09 Oct 1997) |
| radio wave | <physics> Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths of 300 millimetres or longer (even up to several kilometres). Radiation of this type is used to broadcast radio and television signals, and has frequencies up to thousands of megahertz (or one gigahertz). (09 Oct 1997) |
| radio waves | That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum beyond the microwaves, with wavelengths as high as 30 km. They are used in communications, including television. Short wave or hf (high frequency), uhf (ultrahigh frequency) and vhf (very high frequency) waves are used in citisen's band communication. (12 Dec 1998) |
| serum albumin, radio-iodinated | <chemical> Normal human serum albumin mildly iodinated with radioactive iodine (131-I) which has a half-life of 8 days, and emits beta and gamma rays. It is used as a diagnostic aid in blood volume determination. Pharmacological action: radiopharmaceuticals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bounce frequency | <physics> The average frequency of oscillation of a particle trapped in a magnetic mirror as it bounces back and forth between its turning points in regions of high magnetic field. (See also trapped particle, turning points, banana orbit). (09 Oct 1997) |
| gene frequency | The relative occurence (expressed as a percentage) of a gene in a given population. (09 Oct 1997) |
| recombination frequency | The frequency at which crossingover occurs between two chromosomal loci--the probability that twoloci will become unlinked during meiosis. (09 Oct 1997) |
