  2. Fractionation of carbon isotopes in oxygenic photosynthesis

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractionation_of_carbon...

    Carbon on Earth naturally occurs in two stable isotopes, with 98.9% in the form of 12 C and 1.1% in 13 C. [1] [8] The ratio between these isotopes varies in biological organisms due to metabolic processes that selectively use one carbon isotope over the other, or "fractionate" carbon through kinetic or thermodynamic effects. [1]

  3. Composition C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_C

    Composition C-3 was very similar to Composition C-1, but removed the solvent and varied the exact proportions of plasticisers to improve high temperature storage. It is a yellow, putty-like material. It remained a service item through the Korean War , but had marginal plasticity at the very low temperatures encountered in Korean winters, and ...

  4. List of C4 plants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_C4_plants

    Maize (Zea mays, Poaceae) is the most widely cultivated C 4 plant.[1]In botany, C 4 carbon fixation is one of three known methods of photosynthesis used by plants. C 4 plants increase their photosynthetic efficiency by reducing or suppressing photorespiration, which mainly occurs under low atmospheric CO 2 concentration, high light, high temperature, drought, and salinity.

  5. C4 model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C4_model

    The C4 model documents the architecture of a software system, by showing multiple points of view [5] that explain the decomposition of a system into containers and components, the relationship between these elements, and, where appropriate, the relation with its users. [3] The viewpoints are organized according to their hierarchical level: [2] [3]

  6. Ford C4 transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_C4_transmission

    The C4 was designed to be a lighter and simpler replacement for the original Ford-O-Matic two speed transmission being used in smaller, less powerful cars. Ford used the term "SelectShift" because in the first C4's, placing the gear selector in D2 forced the transmission to start in second gear and then shift to third gear.

  7. Thermal copper pillar bump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_copper_pillar_bump

    A thermal copper pillar bump, also known as a "thermal bump", is a thermoelectric device made from thin-film thermoelectric material embedded in flip chip interconnects (in particular copper pillar solder bumps) for use in electronics and optoelectronic packaging, including: flip chip packaging of CPU and GPU integrated circuits (chips), laser diodes, and semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA).

  8. C4 carbon fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C4_carbon_fixation

    C 4 plants have a competitive advantage over plants possessing the more common C 3 carbon fixation pathway under conditions of drought, high temperatures, and nitrogen or CO 2 limitation. When grown in the same environment, at 30 °C, C 3 grasses lose approximately 833 molecules of water per CO 2 molecule that is fixed, whereas C 4 grasses

    The value 3.267 is taken from the sample size-specific D 4 anti-biasing constant for n=2, as given in most textbooks on statistical process control (see, for example, Montgomery [2]: 725 ). Calculation of individuals control limits
