1. conduction

   Conduction is the process where heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material. It is a fundamental method of heat and energy transfer, commonly seen in solids due to the movement or vibration of molecules or free electrons.

1. Marc Siegel:

   They did a thorough neurological exam, but they also need to do a nerve conduction EMG, and they need to do an MRI of the brain and the spinal cord to try and explain where this gait problem comes from.

2. Marc Siegel:

   If we're looking into neurological causes for the gait change, I don't think the way they characterize that in the physical is sufficient, i want more information. I want to know what the MRIs show, and I want to know what the nerve conduction EMG shows to rule out things that are more extensive, that by the way, can be associated with cognitive changes like mental status, like dementia.

4. Clifford Truesdell:

   How did Biot arrive at the partial differential equation? [the heat conduction equation] . . . Perhaps Laplace gave Biot the equation and left him to sink or swim for a few years in trying to derive it. That would have been merely an instance of the way great mathematicians since the very beginnings of mathematical research have effortlessly maintained their superiority over ordinary mortals.
