fusion, in physics. 1 The change of a substance from the solid to the liquid state, also known as melting. The heat given up by a unit mass of a substance during fusion is called the latent heatlatent heat, heat change associated with a change of state or phase (see states of matter). Latent heat, also called heat of transformation, is the heat given up or absorbed by a unit mass of a substance as it changes from a solid to a liquid, from a liquid to a gas, or the .....

Fusion is distinct from agglutination, which lacks such a dependence. Since the degree of dependence can vary, one may speak of the degree of fusion, which is inversely proportional to the degree of agglutination. Fusion is said to be minimal when the affix determines only the class of the stem; for example, the Russian suffix -ost’ (“-ness”) requires an adjectival stem. Fusion is termed maximal when the combination of stem and affix influences the selection of a particular morph for the stem or for the affix, in both inflection and word formation. In inflection, compare Russian vid-ish’ (“you see,” sing.) with vizh-u (“I see”) and id-esh’ (“you are going,” sing.); compare Greek π∈πoμφ-α (“I sent,” perf.) with π∈μπ-ω (“I send”). In word formation, compare English “depth” and “deep.” The term “fusion” is often used only to designate the latter phenomenon, that is, maximal fusion. Languages in which inflected forms are formed by means of fusion are called fusional languages. fusion[′fyü·zhən] (nuclear physics) Combination of two light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus (and perhaps other reaction products) with release of some binding energy. Also known as atomic fusion; nuclear fusion. (physical chemistry) A change of the state of a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase. Also known as melting. fusionIn welding, the melting together of filler metal and base metal, or of the base metal alone, which results in coalescence.fusion1.

E.g.
f x = g (h x) ==> f x = g (2 * x)g x = x + 1 f x = 2 * x + 1h x = 2 * x
This has the beneficial effect of reducing the number offunction calls. It can be especially useful where theintermediate result is a large data structure which can beeliminated.

[L. fusio, a pouring, fr. fundo, pp. fusus, to pour] FUS A gene on chromosome 16p11.2 that encodes a multifunctional protein of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complex, which is involved in pre-mRNA splicing and export of processed mRNA to the cytoplasm. FUS belongs to the FET family of RNA-binding proteins that regulate gene expression, maintain genomic integrity and process mRNA/microRNA processing. Molecular pathology FUS mutations cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 6; a FUS/CHOP translocation (t(12;16)(q13;p11)) leads to the formation of a chimeric protein, which induces liposarcoma.fusion Medtalk The joining of ≥ 2 distinct entities.

[L. fusio, a pouring, fr. fundo, pp. fusus, to pour]fusionThe act or process of mixing or uniting. binocular fusion See sensory fusion. central fusion See sensory fusion. chiastopic f . Fusion obtained by voluntary convergence on two targets separated in space and such that the right eye fixates the left target and the left eye the right target. This is often facilitated by fixating a small mark above a single aperture placed in front of the two targets and then slowly shifting one's gaze to the targets. The procedure is aimed at improving positive fusional convergence. See fusional convergence; orthopic fusion. critical fusion frequency See critical fusion frequency. first-degree fusion; flat fusion See Worth's classification of binocular vision. fusion field An area around the fovea of each eye within which the fusion reflex is initiated. If the disparate images fall within this area motor fusion will occur, but if the disparity is too great there will be no fusional movement. This field is much larger horizontally than vertically. flat fusion Binocular fusion in which the single percept is two-dimensional and without stereoscopic effect. Syn. second-degree fusion. See Worth's classification of binocular vision. fusion lock See binocular lock; associated heterophoria. motor fusion One of the components of convergence in which the eyes move until the object of regard falls on corresponding retinal areas (e.g. the foveas) in response to disparate retinal stimuli. Syn. disparity vergence; fusion reflex. See fusional convergence; sensory fusion; retinal corresponding points; vergence facility. orthopic fusion Fusion obtained by voluntary divergence on two targets separated in space and such that the right eye fixates the right target and the left eye the left target. This is often facilitated by looking beyond the targets and then slowly shifting one's gaze to the targets through double apertures placed in front of them. This procedure is aimed at improving negative fusional convergence. See fusional convergence; chiastopic fusion. peripheral fusion See sensory fusion. fusion reflex See motor fusion. second-degree fusion See flat fusion. sensory fusion The neural process by which the images in each retina are synthesized or integrated into a single percept. In normal binocular vision, this process occurs when corresponding (or nearly corresponding) regions of the retina are stimulated. This process can occur when the images are either in the central part of the retinae (central fusion) or in the peripheral part of the retinae (peripheral fusion). Syn. binocular fusion. See anaglyph; fusional convergence; haploscope; SILO response; retinal corresponding points; random-dot stereogram; bar reading test; diplopia test; Worth's four dot test. third-degree fusion See Worth's classification of binocular vision.fu·sion (fyū'zhŭn) 1.

Has anyone had a spine fusion that failed? Or hardware that failed? A. Haven't experienced it myself, but here (http://www.spine-health.com/forum/treatments/back-surgery-and-neck-surgery) you may find a discussion about it. Q. I'm having a lot of pain in my right leg after back fusion surgery. Any ideas why? This was my third back surgery. The doctor fused 2 levels. Before surgery I was having pain in my left leg. It is now fine. My right leg however is giving me fits. I've been on Neurontin (Gabopentin is the generic) for 4 weeks now and have very little relief.A. Thank you Brandon for your input. I have talked with my surgeon on several occasions and he is as baffled by this as I am. His next course of action will be a myleogram. His is reluctant to do this because of the pain and discomfort involved. This is the most baffling thing I have ever experienced, especially when my very talented surgeon is puzzled by it. I do appreciate your input, and will discuss this with my doctor...Perhaps it is a blood flow problem. I have been walking and wear compression hose, with no relief unfortunately.
