 Emanation [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
In Greek philosophy emanations (aporrhoiai) occur at an early period, as in Empedocles, who accounts for sensual perceptions as emanations or effluxes proceeding from the objects perceived.
The notion of emanation was frequently used by the early Christian writers in the attempt to express the relation of the Son and the Holy Spirit to the Father.
In the final establishment of the Trinitarian doctrine the idea of emanation undoubtedly played a part, as in the emphasis laid upon the Son's being " begotten, not made " (Nicene Creed), and the " procession" of the Holy Ghost; but the idea of descent to imperfection is lacking.

 Ramsay & Soddy
Rutherford and Soddy investigated the chemical nature of the thorium emanation[1] and of the radium emanation,[2] and came to the conclusion that these emanations are inert gases which withstand the action of reagents in a manner hitherto unobserved except with the members of the argon family.
On opening a stopcock between a tube containing the emanation and the pump, the slow flow through the capillary tube can be noticed; the rapid passage along the wider tubes; the delay caused by the plug of phosphorus pentoxide, and the sudden diffusion into the reservoir of the pump.
The maximum amount of the emanation obtained from 50 milligrams of radium bromide was conveyed by means of oxygen into a U-tube cooled in liquid air, and the latter was then extracted by the pump.

 Emanation
The issuing of streams of light and life from a sun is an act of emanation; the unfolding of what is latent in a germ is an act of evolution -- but equally so an emanation, for all the attributes of the developing germ "flow forth" from the inherent life which is unfolding itself.
Emanation is the more appropriate term for the process by which hosts of individual monads issue from their originant or parent-source; and evolution for the subsequent unfolding, from each monad, of what is latent in it.
Emanation is a distinctly more accurate and descriptive word for theosophists to use than evolution is, but unfortunately emanation is so ill-understood in the Occident, that perforce the accepted term is used to describe the process of interior growth expanding into and manifesting itself in the varying phases of the developing entity.

 ChemTeam: Rutherford's Discovery of Half-Life
This 'emanation', as it will be termed for shortness, has the power of ionizing the gas in its neighbourhood and of passing through thin layers of metals, and, with great ease, through considerable thicknesses of paper.
It will be shown shortly that the emanation continues to ionize the gas in its neighbourhood for several minutes, so that the removal of the particles from between the plates diminishes the rate of discharge between the plates.
The amount of discharge caused by the emanation is increased several times by the conversion of the nitrate into the oxide; but at the same time, the rate of discharge due to the ordinary radiation emitted by the thorium is increased in about an equal ratio.

The emanations create the space in which Eternals meet, making their union possible, and the emanation is the visible embodiment of the Eternal, making it possible for the Eternal to interact with others.

 What is the Alpha Particle? Rutherford
For example, it might be argued that the appearance of helium in the radium emanation was a result of the expulsion of the α particle, in the same way that the appearance of radium A is a consequence of the expulsion of an α particle from the emanation.
In order to test this point the emanation was completely pumped out of A, and after some hours a quantity of helium, about 10 times the previous volume of the emanation, was compressed into the same tube A. The outer tube T and the vacuum-tube were removed and a fresh apparatus substituted.
In the first case, radium emanation is produced at the same rate as the α particle; it is not an α particle, however, but another fragment (by far the larger, in fact) of the decaying radium atom.

 Radon emanation factor
He also cited a report where the emanating power of a preparation of radium deposited on a lead nitrate preparation was reduced from 18.7% to 1.4% after the preparation had been annealed to allow radium ions to diffuse into the crystals.
The emanation factor is determined from the radium content of the source and the radon released to the container.
The difference between the initial and the equilibrium counts indicates the radon that would be emanated if the source were not sealed; the ratio between the emanated radon and the equilibrium radon is the emanation factor.

Assuming the Emanation metaphysic to be valid, a number of specific ontological laws would seem to follow.
I call them the Principles of Emanation, or Laws of Manifestation (a term also used by the New Age writer David Spangler in a slightly different context [David Spangler, The Laws of Manifestation (Findhorn Foundation, 1975)]), because the define the unfolding or emanation or manifestation of reality from the original Absolute.

 Yedid Nefesh - Song of the Soul   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
If we consider the various relationships among emanation, creation, formation and making, we see that the world of creation has the power to produce souls, that the world of formation has the power to produce angels, and that the world of making has the power to produce material creations.
The relationship between these worlds-levels is that emanation is the soul and the worlds of creation, formation and making are the clothing for the world of emanation.
Meanwhile, as long as this relationship exists, i.e., emanation is a soul for the worlds of creation, formation and making (in other words, they are its clothing), we say that these worlds are not considered independent, but are subordinate to emanation.

Should we wish to make a comparison between the world of emanation and the world of primordial man, we would state that the difference between them is like the difference between ratzon and thought.
Therefore, the world of emanation is the world of thought, while the world of primordial man is the world of ratzon.
The world of emanation is pure Divinity and is called “the world of thought,” as distinct from worlds of creation, formation and making, from which the world of disunity begins, i.e., the reality of distinct objects.

 Emanation
And these in turn create - or rather, emanate - further entities, and so on, with all these entities combining and interacting in the extraordinary network of existence.
The Emanationist position then, is based, not a single Creator-Created Dichotomy, but rather on a series or "hierarchy" of realities or "Worlds", arranged "vertically" (inverted commas are used because these terms are simply metaphoric, and should not be taken literally).
Each higher world "generates" the one below it through a process of emanation, and each therefore stands in the position of "God" or "Creator" to the level or grade below it.

Rather, there is an "emanation" from the oxide which has the power to induce substance to become radioactive.
Rutherford measured the decay curve for the emanation and fitted it to an exponential curve.
Because of the complex chain of decays, the fact that they had no model of the atom which could explain radioactivity, and the extremely small quantities of active material responsible for radioactivity there were cases of error in their conclusions.

Under laboratory conditions, simulations of water table fluctuations produce changes in radon emanation from soil.
When the lower water table stabilizes, radon emanation from the soil increases (probably because the increased volume of connected water-free pores).
Conversely, a rising water table, as might occur during a heavy rainfall interval after a dry interval, initially causes an increase in soil radon concentration.
