Reflux is the backward flow of fluids.
•
(D) The electric flux density is a vector equal to the product of the electric field strength and the permittivity. The unit is coulomb per square meter (C/m2). The total electric flux passing through a closed surface is equal to the total charge enclosed by the surface.
•
Magnetic flux density is the amount of magnetic flux per unit area of a section, perpendicular to the direction of flux. The magnetic flux density is the product of the magnetic field strength and permeability. The SI unit for flux density is weber per square meter. One weber per square meter equals one tesla (T).

(NAA) Neutron activation analysis is a very sensitive analytical technique to determine even very low concentration of chemical elements, trace elements for example, in small biological samples. NAA becomes commercial available in the USA in 1960. In the activation process stable nuclides in the sample, which is placed in a neutron beam (neutron flux, 90-95% are thermal neutron with low energy levels under 0.5 eV), will change to radioactive nuclides through neutron capture (artificial radioactivity). These radioactive nuclides decay by emitting alpha-, beta-particles and gamma-rays with a unique half-life. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the sample is done with a high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometer. NAA is subdivided into the following techniques:
•
•
Prompt Gamma NAA (PGNAA): gamma rays are measured during neutron activation. For detection of elements with a rapid decay.
•
Delayed Gamma NAA (DGNAA): conventional detection after the neutron activation.
•
•
Instrumental NAA (INAA): automated from sample handling to data processing. Analyzes simultaneously more than thirty elements in most samples without chemical processing.
•
Radiochemical NAA (RNAA): After neutron activation the sample is chemically refined for better analysis.

(T) The system international (SI) unit of magnetic flux density. Definition: 1 T is the field intensity generating 1 N (newton) of force per ampere of current per meter of conductor. The tesla unit value is defined as a field strength of 1 weber per square meter of area, where 1 weber represents 1 x 108 (100 000 000) flux lines. One T is equal to 10 000 gauss, the older (CGS) unit. A field of 1 tesla is quite strong, the Earth's magnetic flux density, at its surface, is about 50 microteslas (µT).
