121Freeze drying — (also known as lyophilization or cryodesiccation) is a dehydration process typically used to preserve a perishable material or make the material more convenient for transport. Freeze drying works by freezing the material and then reducing the… …
122Thermal cycler — An Eppendorf thermal cycler The thermal cycler (also known as a Thermocycler, PCR Machine or DNA Amplifier) is a laboratory apparatus used to amplify segments of DNA via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process.[1] The device has a thermal… …
123Feature selection — Feature selection, also known as variable selection, feature reduction, attribute selection or variable subset selection, is the technique, commonly used in machine learning, of selecting a subset of relevant features for building robust learning …
124Line search — In (unconstrained) optimization, the line search strategy is one of two basic iterative approaches to finding a local minimum mathbf{x}^* of an objective function f:mathbb R^n omathbb R. The other method is that of trust regions.… …
125Sword making — Sword making, historically, has been the work of specialized smiths or metalworkers called bladesmiths or swordsmiths. Modern armorers and swordsmiths still ply their trade although to a more limited clientele. Their products are oriented toward… …
126Langmuir–Blodgett film — A Langmuir–Blodgett film contains one or more monolayers of an organic material, deposited from the surface of a liquid onto a solid by immersing (or emersing) the solid substrate into (or from) the liquid. A monolayer is added with each… …
127Heusler alloy — A Heusler alloy is a ferromagnetic metal alloy based on a Heusler phase. Heusler phases are intermetallics with particular composition and face centered cubic crystal structure. They are ferromagnetic even though the constituting elements are not …
128Stress corrosion cracking — (SCC) is the unexpected sudden failure of normally ductile metals or tough thermoplastics subjected to a tensile stress in a corrosive environment, especially at elevated temperature (in the case of metals). SCC is highly chemically specific in… …
