Wall Conditioning (medicine) and gumbo (sh)


Wall Conditioning (medicine)


wall conditioning
<radiobiology> Describes a class of procedures used to control the composition of materials adsorbed onto the walls of a plasma device. Conditioning is important because material from the walls can create impurities in the plasma, and these impurities typically degrade plasma performance.
