The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (/ɨˈlaɪzə/, /ˌiːˈlaɪzə/) is a test that uses antibodies and color change to identify a substance. ELISA is a popular format of "wet-lab" type analyt...
Given a received codeword x \in \mathbb{F}_2^n maximum likelihood decoding picks a codeword y \in C to maximize: \mathbb{P}(x \mbox{ received} \mid y \mbox{ sent}) i.e. choose the codeword y th...
In polymer chemistry, ring-opening polymerization (ROP) is a form of chain-growth polymerization, in which the terminal end of a polymer chain acts as a reactive center where further cyclic monomer...
Magnetic particles
Laser pumping is the act of energy transfer from an external source into the gain medium of a laser. The energy is absorbed in the medium, producing excited states in its atoms. When the number of ...

Propagation delay is a technical term that can have a different meaning depending on the context. It can relate to networking, electronics or physics. In general it is the length of time taken for ...
Flat panel displays, commonly known as flat screen TVs, encompass a growing number of electronic visual display technologies. They are far lighter and thinner than traditional television sets and v...

Direct memory access (DMA) is a feature of computerized systems that allows certain hardware subsystems to access main system memory independently of the central processing unit (CPU). Without D...
Each cell of a CCD image sensor is an analog device. When light strikes the chip it is held as a small electrical charge in each photo sensor. The charges are converted to voltage one pixel at a ti...
