C4 pathway A pathway of carbon fixation, found most commonly in tropical plants that have high rates of growth and photosynthesis and that are adapted to high temperatures, strong light, low carbon dioxide levels, and low water supply. Its importance lies mainly in its reduction of photorespiration.
PT 100 RTD means Resistance temperature detector(RTD) of platinum with 100 ohms resistance at zero degree centigrade.
Rapid thermal processing. Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) refers to a semiconductor manufacturing process which heats silicon wafers to high temperatures (over 1,000 Â°C) on a timescale of several seconds or less. During cooling, however, wafer temperatures must be brought down slowly to prevent dislocations and wafer breakage due to thermal shock.
