for the marketing term Diffusion of innovations In probability theory , a branch of mathematics , a diffusion process is a solution to a stochastic differential equation . It is a continuous time Markov process with continuous function continuous sample paths. A sample path of a diffusion process mimics the trajectory of a molecule, which is embedded in a flowing fluid and at the same time subjected to random displacements due to collisions with other molecules, i.e. Brownian motion .

Unreferenced date October 2010 Policy Innovations is an online magazine that covers how ethics and innovations can combine to form a fairer globalization . It is a nonprofit media venture housed at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs in New York City. The project began in 2004 with funding from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund , and the magazine component launched on September 6, 2006. The magazine disseminates news analysis, commentary, interviews, audio, and innovative proposals for both reforming globalization and harnessing its power to lift people out of poverty. It also tells the success stories of NGOs and other social entrepreneurs, such as Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus . The topics that appear frequently in Policy Innovations include human rights , the role of business and civil society , climate and environmental policy, the Asian economies , and cultural shifts brought about by globalization. Policy Innovations also maintains a database of organizations and individuals working on global social justice, as well as a library of academic papers on the economics of globalization and social change.

This term is commonly assumed to be equal to the tracer diffusion determined by watching the movement of an Isotopic labeling isotope in the material of interest.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 A diffusion filter is a translucent filter photography photographic filter used for a special effect . When used in front of the photographic lens camera lens , a photon diffusiondiffusion filter softens subjects and generates a dreamy haze . This can also be improvise d by smearing petroleum jelly on a UV filter or shooting through a nylon stocking . Diffusion filters may be uniform or may have a clear center area to create a vignetting vignette of diffused area around the clear center subject. Diffusion filters are also used in stage lighting and likewise in photography setups , where they may also be called diffusion gel , or just diffusion . This is a reference to color gel , which is another type of lighting gel . Diffusion gels soften the light in order to reduce or diffuse shadow s or glare . Silk sheets can also be used in this manner, and in fact were until the invention of translucent plastic s. Opal is a common translucent or opalescent diffusion.
