  2. Turnaround (refining) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnaround_(refining)

    Turnaround is a blanket term that encompasses more specific terms such as I&Ts (inspection and testing), and maintenance. Turnaround can also be used as a synonym of downtime. Related terms are shutdowns, and outages [1] sometimes written as Turnarounds, Shutdowns, and Outages (TSO). [2]

  3. Calvin cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_cycle

    Calvin cycle step 1 (black circles represent carbon atoms) Calvin cycle steps 2 and 3 combined. The enzyme RuBisCO catalyses the carboxylation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate, RuBP, a 5-carbon compound, by carbon dioxide (a total of 6 carbons) in a two-step reaction. [6] The product of the first step is enediol-enzyme complex that can capture CO 2 ...

  4. X-ray microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_microscope

    An X-ray microscopy image of a living 10-days-old canola plant [1]. An X-ray microscope uses electromagnetic radiation in the X-ray band to produce magnified images of objects. . Since X-rays penetrate most objects, there is no need to specially prepare them for X-ray microscopy observatio

  5. Industrial radiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_radiography

    X-ray generators produce X-rays by applying a high voltage between the cathode and the anode of an X-ray tube and in heating the tube filament to start the electron emission. The electrons are then accelerated in the resulting electric potential and collide with the anode, which is usually made of Tungsten .

  6. Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_transmission_X...

    STXM image of pod-like carbon nanotube decorated with Fe nanoparticles (red). [1]Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) is a type of X-ray microscopy in which a zone plate focuses an X-ray beam onto a small spot, a sample is scanned in the focal plane of the zone plate and the transmitted X-ray intensity is recorded as a function of the sample position.

  7. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy-dispersive_X-ray...

    Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS, EDX, EDXS or XEDS), sometimes called energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA or EDAX) or energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDXMA), is an analytical technique used for the elemental analysis or chemical characterization of a sample. It relies on an interaction of some source of X-ray excitation and ...

  8. Powder diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_diffraction

    X-ray powder diffraction of Y 2 Cu 2 O 5 and Rietveld refinement with two phases, showing 1% of yttrium oxide impurity (red tickers). Powder diffraction is a scientific technique using X-ray , neutron , or electron diffraction on powder or microcrystalline samples for structural characterization of materials. [ 2 ]

  9. Plant development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_development

    On top of the gradual growth of the plant, the image reveals the true meaning of phototropism and cell elongation, meaning the light energy from the sun is causing the growing plant to bend towards the light aka elongate. Plant growth and development are mediated by specific plant hormones and plant growth regulators (PGRs) (Ross et al. 1983). [10]
