0 the action of spreading in many directions:
Powerful global institutions drive the diffusion of new technologies.
Modern communications make the diffusion of ideas extremely rapid.

The government needs to promote wider diffusion of e-commerce in the economy.
There was a rapid diffusion of the crisis from one country to all countries in the region.
He never shared their belief in progress through the advancement of science or diffusion of knowledge.
Thus, the longitudinal diffusion and the length of striations are reduced significantly.
Selection and drift in subdivided populations : a straightforward method for deriving diffusion approximations and applications involving dominance, selfing and local extinctions.
A mechanism is studied of the heterogeneity coefficient dissipation due to molecular diffusion.
Other elements of spatial diffusion, however, also emerge in this research.
The turbulence energy balance is examined, including the separate effects of vertical diffusion of pressure and local kinetic energy.
