DSC and small
In a differential scanning calorimeter ( DSC ), heat flow into a sample — usually contained in a small aluminium capsule or ' pan '— is measured differentially, i. e., by comparing it to the flow into an empty reference pan.
In a heat flux DSC, both pans sit on a small slab of material with a known ( calibrated ) heat resistance K. The temperature of the calorimeter is raised linearly with time ( scanned ), i. e., the heating rate
A modulated temperature differential scanning calorimeter ( MTDSC ) is a type of DSC in which a small oscillation is imposed upon the otherwise linear heating rate.
Using DSC, it is possible to observe the small energy changes that occur as matter transitions from a solid to a liquid crystal and from a liquid crystal to an isotropic liquid.

DSC and sample
Differential scanning calorimetry or DSC is a thermoanalytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature.
Generally, the temperature program for a DSC analysis is designed such that the sample holder temperature increases linearly as a function of time.
DSC measures the energy required to keep both the reference and the sample at the same temperature whereas DTA measures the difference in temperature between the sample and the reference when they are both put under the same heat.
Simultaneous Thermal Analysis ( STA ) generally refers to the simultaneous application of Thermogravimetry ( TGA ) and differential scanning calorimetry ( DSC ) to one and the same sample in a single instrument.
The test conditions are perfectly identical for the TGA and DSC signals ( same atmosphere, gas flow rate, vapor pressure of the sample, heating rate, thermal contact to the sample crucible and sensor, radiation effect, etc .).

DSC and is
A computerized setting circle is called a " digital setting circle " ( DSC ).
DSC is an initialism or abbreviation used in many fields:
An important tool in establishing this is thermal analysis techniques like DSC or DTA and increasingly also, thanks to the advent of synchrotrons temperature-dependent powder diffraction.
An alternative technique, which shares much in common with DSC, is differential thermal analysis ( DTA ).
The result of a DSC experiment is a curve of heat flux versus temperature or versus time.

DSC is used widely for examining polymeric materials to determine their thermal transitions.
DSC is used in the study of liquid crystals.
DSC is widely used in the pharmaceutical and polymer industries.
For the polymer chemist, DSC is a handy tool for studying curing processes, which allows the fine tuning of polymer properties.
The cross-linking of polymer molecules that occurs in the curing process is exothermic, resulting in a positive peak in the DSC curve that usually appears soon after the glass transition.
DSC, alone or in combination with hot-stage microscopy, is able to differentiate between different polymorphic structures and, by using different heating rates, can investigate the transformations which occur during the polymorphic transformation.
An example is oxidation induction time ( OIT ) by DSC which can determine the amount of oxidation stabiliser present in a thermoplastic ( usually a polyolefin ) polymer material.
DSC is used to determine the curing properties of the resins used in composite materials, and can also confirm whether a resin can be cured and how much heat is evolved during that process.
Nevertheless, at present the term thermal analysis is usually reserved for a narrow range of techniques that measure changes in the physical properties of foods with temperature ( TG / DTG, DTA, DSC and Transition temperature ).

DSC and way
Document Structuring Conventions, or DSC, is a set of standards for PostScript, based on the use of comments, which primarily specifies a way to structure a PostScript file and a way to expose that structure in a machine-readable way.
The addition of structure, with DSC comments exposing that structure, helps provide a way for, e. g., an intelligent print spooler to have the ability to rearrange the pages for printing, or for a page layout program to find the bounding box of a PostScript file used as a graphic image.
Some DSC comments serve a second function, specifying a way to tell the document manager to do certain things, like inserting a font or other PostScript code ( collectively called resources ) into the file.

DSC and very
