	Mean free path - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	DNA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The diversity of the bases means that there are five kinds of nucleotides, which are commonly referred to by the identity of their bases.
		This means they cannot be separated by gentle heating or by any process that does not involve breaking a strand.
		The asymmetric shape and linkage of nucleotides means that a DNA strand always has a discernible orientation or directionality.

	Mean free path
		The mean free path x is a quantity defined in statistical mechanics and is intimately linked to diffusion processes which are a result of random Brownian motion ("random walk") of particles.
		In medical imaging the mean free path is of major relevance for understanding the spatial resolution of PET imaging.
		As annihilation occurs predominantly within a spherical shell with the diameter of the mean free path, the mean free path is a measure of the uncertainty of the position of the positron-emitting nucleus and therefore determines one of the physical limits of the spatial resolution achievable with PET.

	Yoga - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
		Traditionally, these practical methods are classified into four categories or paths: the path of meditation (Raja Yoga), the path of devotion (Bhakti Yoga), the path of selfless service to others (Karma Yoga), and the path of intellectual analysis or the discrimination of truth and reality (Jnana Yoga).
		They may develop confidence in their chosen deity, their yoga teacher (guru), ancient scriptures on yoga, a particular yoga path or school, etc. and this choice is a matter of personal preference or, for some, religious necessity.
		While each path differs, their fundamental goal is one and the same: to realize Brahman (the Divine Ground), as being the only truth, that the body is temporal, but the soul (Atman) is infinite and one with Brahman.

		These levels are also metastable, which means that a transition to the ground state by radiation is difficult, and they may retain their excitation energy for an extended period, perhaps until they collide with a wall, or experience another collision with an electron or atom.
