electroplating of metals
Science; General science
A process for applying a coating to a metal surface by electrochemical means. Electroplating is extensively used to produce printed circuit boards. Its main advantage is that ...
superplastic forming
Science; General science
A process for shaping superplastic materials, a unique class of crystalline materials that exhibit exceptionally high tensile ductility. Superplastic materials may be stretched in ...
fertilization (plant)
Science; General science
A process in many plants resulting in the fusion of a female gamete and a male gamete to form a single cell, the zygote. Both vegetative (asexual) reproduction and sexual ...
interpolation
Science; General science
A process in mathematics used to estimate an intermediate value of one (dependent) variable which is a function of a second (independent) variable when values of the dependent ...
extrapolation
Science; General science
A process in mathematics used to find the value of a function outside its tabulated values. This is done as in interpolation by assuming that over a small range of x the ...
homogeneous catalysis
Science; General science
A process in which a catalyst is in the same phase as the reactant. A homogeneous catalyst is molecularly dispersed (dissolved) in the reactants, which are most commonly in the ...
acylation
Science; General science
A process in which a hydrogen atom in an organic compound is replaced by an acyl group (R–CO where R = an organic group). The reaction involves substitution by a nucleophile ...
