For a read-only memory, decay during read-out is a major problem since it will limit the number of read cycles possible. For a read-write memory that utilizes a destructive read-out, the decay during reading can be an advantage. In fact the decay may be intentionally enhanced, by increasing the intensity and frequency of the reading light, for example, so that complete erasure occurs during the read cycle. 3, record 1, English, - decay

Decay is associated with the loss of the radioactive isotope and the formation of another isotope of the same element but of lower mass, or the formation of one or more different elements. The rate of decay is proportional to the amount of the radioactive isotope present in the sample and is characterized in terms of its half-life. The half-life is the time taken for the radioactivity to decay to 50% of its original activity. 7, record 3, English, - radioactive%20decay

Le noyau de certains atomes est par nature instable et susceptible de subir une modification interne spontanée qui donne lieu à l'émission d'énergie : il s'agit de la désintégration radioactive. Les atomes instables s'appellent les «radionucléides». Chacun des radionucléides connus [...] a un rythme de désintégration bien caractéristique exprimé en «période radioactive», le temps nécessaire à la désintégration de la moitié des atomes radioactifs présents à l'origine. 3, record 3, French, - d%C3%A9sint%C3%A9gration%20radioactive

L'homogénéité des niveaux sonores ne peut exister que dans le cadre d'une multidiffusion extrêmement importante. La loi de la décroissance du son (atténuation de 6 dB, à chaque doublement de la distance, dans un espace non réverbérant) signifie dans cette salle que, pour obtenir 105 dB à la console en fond de salle, il faut avoir 125 dB en sortie de baffles. Ce qui fait, pour le premier spectateur placé à 4 mètres, un bon 113 dB.
