How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T17040826 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Fick's first law of diffusion
Fick's first law of diffusion is a fundamental physical law that relates the diffusive flux of particles to the spatial gradient of their concentration, describing how substances move from regions of high to low concentration.
-
B.
Krogh model of capillary diffusion
The Krogh model of capillary diffusion is a classic physiological model that describes how oxygen diffuses from capillaries into surrounding tissue, forming the basis for quantitative analysis of microcirculatory oxygen transport.
-
C.
"Partial Differential Equations"
"Partial Differential Equations" is a foundational mathematical text that systematically develops the theory and methods for analyzing equations involving multivariable functions and their partial derivatives.
-
D.
"Continuous Markov Processes and Stochastic Equations"
"Continuous Markov Processes and Stochastic Equations" is a foundational mathematical work that rigorously develops the theory of continuous-time Markov processes and their representation via stochastic differential equations.
-
E.
Cahn–Hilliard equation
The Cahn–Hilliard equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation that models phase separation and coarsening in binary mixtures and other systems undergoing spinodal decomposition.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
