Thus, a traditional stochastic acceleration mechanism in which particles are accelerated by damping the turbulence will not work.
These gradual shifts in language domains sometimes are accelerated by other factors.
"All these are accelerated by exposure to sunlight, toxins, smoking, yo-yo dieting and stress.
Some stock plans and bonus programs for Kmart employees are accelerated by a change in control as well, the plan notes.
In a mass spectrometer the material under investigation is in the form of a gas of ionized particles that are accelerated by a fixed electric field.
A cyclotron, for example, is a device used for scientific research in which subatomic charged particles are accelerated by an alternating electric field in a constant magnetic field.
Many of these conduction electrons are accelerated by the field until they collide with luminescent centres, ionizing them (i.e., ejecting electrons from their atoms).
The gas is then ionized by a radio-frequency power source, and the ions are accelerated by an electric field toward the metal surface.
The explanation for this increase lies partly with an ever-younger population of joint-replacement patients, some of whose arthritic conditions are accelerated by running and other impact sports, and partly with better technology.
The frequency of the accelerating voltage is constant, and the orbital frequency of the particles is kept constant as they are accelerated by causing the average magnetic field on the orbit to increase with orbit radius.
Electrons traversing the interaction space when the RF potential on grid 3 is positive with respect to grid 2 are accelerated by the field, while those crossing the gap one half-cycle later are decelerated.
