1Surface-mount technology — (SMT) is a method for constructing electronic circuits in which the components (SMC, or Surface Mounted Components) are mounted directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Electronic devices so made are called surface mount… …
2surface analysis — ▪ chemistry Introduction in analytical chemistry (chemistry), the study of that part of a solid that is in contact with a gas or a vacuum. When two phases of matter are in contact, they form an interface. The term surface is usually… …
3Surface diffusion — [ adatom diffusing across a square surface lattice. Note the frequency of vibration of the adatom is greater than the jump rate to nearby sites. Also, the model displays examples of both nearest neighbor jumps (straight) and next nearest neighbor …
4Surface phonon — Phonons are collective lattice vibration modes, and surface phonons are those particular modes associated with surfaces; they are an artifact of periodicity, symmetry, and the termination of bulk crystal structure associated with the surface… …
5Hydrogen-terminated silicon surface — A hydrogen terminated silicon surface is a chemically passivated silicon substrate whose native oxide (SiO2) thin film is removed by etching in hydrogen fluoride aqueous solution, leaving the surface silicon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen.… …
6materials science — the study of the characteristics and uses of various materials, as glass, plastics, and metals. [1960 65] * * * Study of the properties of solid materials and how those properties are determined by the material s composition and structure, both… …
7bleeding and blood clotting — ▪ disease Introduction escape of blood from blood vessels into surrounding tissue and the process of coagulation through the action of platelets. Significance of hemostasis The evolution of high pressure blood circulation in… …
8Biofilm — A biofilm is a structured community of microorganisms encapsulated within a self developed polymeric matrix and adherent to a living or inert surface. Biofilms are also often characterized by surface attachment, structural heterogeneity, genetic… …
9Judith Mason — Judith Mason, born Judith Seelander Menge on 10 October 1938 in Pretoria, is a South African artist who has created oil paintings, graphics, mixed media and tapestries, rich in symbolism and mythology, and displaying a rare technical… …
10Hybridization probe — In molecular biology, a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100 1000 bases long), which is used in DNA or RNA samples to detect the presence of nucleotide sequences (the DNA target) that are complementary… …
