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 4, English, - radioactive%20decay

long term memory(LTM) : The ability to respond to a stimulus, recite a list, remember an association, and so on, after a long period of time since the material was presented. Its slow rate of decay and great amount of remembered material distinguish it from short term memory. 2, record 11, English, - long%2Dterm%2Dmemory%20test

Le terme «activité spécifique» est très répandu dans l'usage. On le retrouve, entre autres, dans le LAROG 1982 vol. 1 page 97 (Grand Dictionnaire encyclopédique Larousse), dans AUTEC et dans les Techniques de l'ingénieur (vol. B8-II page B-3600-9). Cependant son emploi fait l'objet de critiques, notamment de la source ENUCL, et l'ISO et la CEI recommandent l'emploi de «activité massique».
