Weiss domains microstructure The reason for this is that a bulk piece of ferromagnetic material is divided into tiny magnetic domains ( also known as Weiss domains ).

Rock microstructure or texture of rocks is studied by structural geologists on a small scale to provide detailed information mainly about metamorphic rocks and some features of sedimentary rocks, most often if they have been folded.

Tetelman ( founder of Exponent, Inc .) and Stanford professor William D. Nix, published by Prentice-Hall in 1973, which remains in use today.

Grey cast iron is characterised by its graphitic microstructure, which causes fractures of the material to have a grey appearance.

On asset markets and in market microstructure, the transaction cost is some function of the distance between the bid and ask.

A stainless steel is said to be sensitized if chromium carbides are formed in the microstructure.

They contend that behavioral finance is more a collection of anomalies than a true branch of finance and that these anomalies are either quickly priced out of the market or explained by appealing to market microstructure arguments.

Evidence from the size and number of serrations of certain teeth and its enamel microstructure indicates that Clemensodon is either a derived taeniolabdoid or a primitive ptilodontoid.

If a low-hardenability steel is quenched, a significant amount of austenite will be retained in the microstructure.

A material's strength is dependent on its microstructure.

The engineering processes to which a material is subjected can alter this microstructure.

Bainite is an acicular microstructure ( not a phase ) that forms in steels at temperatures from approximately 250-550 ° C ( depending on alloy content ).

If the steel is cooled slowly the transformation will agree with the equilibrium predictions and pearlite will dominate the microstructure with some fraction of proeutectoid ferrite or cementite depending on the chemical composition.

Kyle's lambda is named from Albert Kyle's famous paper on market microstructure.

These elements are intended to alter the microstructure of carbon steels, which is usually a ferrite-pearlite aggregate, to produce a very fine dispersion of alloy carbides in an almost pure ferrite matrix.

These characteristics, taken together and related through the laws of thermodynamics, govern a material ’ s microstructure, and thus its properties.

At the beginning of Scleractinia ’ s development, four groups with different microstructure can distinguished.

Material properties such as strength, chemical reactivity, stress corrosion cracking resistance, weldability, deformation behavior, resistance to radiation damage, and magnetic susceptibility can be highly dependent on the material ’ s texture and related changes in microstructure.

Tempering reduces the hardness in the steel by gradually changing the martensite into a microstructure of various carbides, such as cementite, and softer ferrite ( iron ), forming a microstructure called " tempered martensite.

A comparison of different high-aspect-ratio microstructure technologies can be found in the HARMST article.

An alternative method of vapor-phase oxidation of SiH4 on the template surface was found to preserve delicate structural features of the microstructure.

These sequences have found consistent sex differences in human corpus callosal morphology and microstructure.

The order is clearly circumscribed on the basis of DNA sequence analysis, but is difficult to define morphologically, since its members are structurally diverse.

The present understanding of the Apiales is fairly recent and is based upon comparison of DNA sequences by phylogenetic methods.

Mitochondrial DNA haplogroup Y is otherwise found mainly among Nivkhs, and with lower frequency among Tungusic peoples, Koreans, Mongols ( including Kalmyks and Buryats ), Chinese, Japanese, Central Asians, South Siberian Turkic peoples ( e. g. Tuvans, Todjins, Soyots ), Koryaks, Alyutors, Itelmens, Taiwanese aborigines, Filipinos, Indonesians, and Malaysians.

It is now known that each of the A, B, and O alleles is actually a class of multiple alleles with different DNA sequences that produce proteins with identical properties: more than 70 alleles are known at the ABO locus.

An autoantigen is usually a normal protein or complex of proteins ( and sometimes DNA or RNA ) that is recognized by the immune system of patients suffering from a specific autoimmune disease.

# The nuclear envelope becomes discontinuous and the DNA inside it is fragmented in a process referred to as karyorrhexis.

The tumor-suppressor protein p53 accumulates when DNA is damaged due to a chain of biochemical factors.

Despite the study of model plants and increasing use of DNA evidence, there is ongoing work and discussion among taxonomists about how best to classify plants into various taxa.

While scientists do not always agree on how to classify organisms, molecular phylogenetics, which uses DNA sequences as data, has driven many recent revisions along more efficient, evolutionary lines and is likely to continue to do so.

Bioinformatics is a branch of biological science which deals with the study of methods for storing, retrieving and analyzing biological data, such as nucleic acid ( DNA / RNA ) and protein sequence, structure, function, pathways and genetic interactions.

In the context of genomics, annotation is the process of marking the genes and other biological features in a DNA sequence.

In molecular biology and genetics, the linking between two nitrogenous bases on opposite complementary DNA or certain types of RNA strands that are connected via hydrogen bonds is called a base pair ( often abbreviated bp ).

The size of an individual gene or an organism's entire genome is often measured in base pairs because DNA is usually double-stranded.

A kilobase ( kb ) is a unit of measurement in molecular biology equal to 1000 base pairs of DNA or RNA.

DNA with high GC-content is more stable than DNA with low GC-content, but, contrary to popular belief, the hydrogen bonds do not stabilize the DNA significantly, and stabilization is mainly due to stacking interactions.
