1. plural of conduction; the process of transmitting heat, electricity, or sound through a material or medium without the movement of the material itself
Usage: commonly used in physics and materials science
2. plural of conduction; the transmission of nerve impulses along a nerve fiber
Usage: medical and biological context

Examples

• Heat conductions through the metal rod occur rapidly due to its high thermal conductivity.
• The study examined different conductions of electricity in various materials.
• Nerve conductions in the patient were tested to diagnose the neurological condition.
• Thermal conductions vary significantly between metals and insulators.
• The experiment measured conductions of sound waves through different gases.
• Electrical conductions in semiconductors depend on temperature and doping levels.
