For decades, optimizing annealing temperatures in PCR has pushed the limits of PCR forward to more difficult tasks. At the same time, mastermixes and kits became more powerful and less prone for ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research explains a new idea that slightly modifies standard simulated annealing by borrowing ideas from quantum mechanics. The goal of a combinatorial optimization ...

The application of the term heat treatable to aluminum alloys, both wrought and cast, is restricted to the specific operations employed to increase strength and hardness by precipitation hardening ...

RTP is a semiconductor manufacturing technique in which silicon wafers are heated at temperatures above 1000 o C using lasers or high-intensity lamps for a few seconds. During the cooling of the ...
