The short circuit resulted in a thermal runaway -- a chemical chain reaction -- in cell six, which spread to adjacent cells.
Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) uses nanoscaled fluorescent probes that allow the tracking of the progress of the amplification from the start.
Caplan says the ordinance set off a protracted civil-rights chain reaction that perhaps even Milk may not have anticipated.
In Japan in 1999, an uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction at a uranium-reprocessing plant killed two employees and spewed radioactive neutrons over the countryside.
As I speculated last week, Hypponen sees the crisis as a chain reaction, with each high-profile breach making Sony a more likely target for the next.
Ouchi and his colleagues had just set off the one thing that nuclear workers fear most - a spontaneous, uncontained nuclear chain reaction.
In the early 1990s, dermatologist Kevin Cooper, then at the University of Michigan, observed that the binding of CD-2 to LFA-3 set off psoriasis' chain reaction.
This meant likely degradation of their zirconium alloy cladding, the possible release of hydrogen, and - by Tepco's admission - the risk that a nuclear chain reaction could begin.
The bee-research team went on to confirm via polymerase chain reaction that hives with colony collapse disorder were far more likely to have IAPV.
Although uranium-238 cannot be made to undergo a continuous chain reaction, firing neutrons at it causes some atoms to split, producing a burst of heat.
This is intended to help regulators spot so-called "systemic risk", or the building of a potential chain reaction of failed investments.
Ms. Dewey-Hagborg amplifies small DNA strands using a technique called PCR polymerase chain reaction.
For years, he had been making the case that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) would be the best way to test for the existence of Earth-like DNA on Mars.
Groopman's research showed that during the course of illness, belief and expectation -- two mental states associated with hope -- have an impact on the nervous system which, in turn, sets off a chain reaction that makes improvement and recovery more likely.
Faced with collapsing fish populations, whether the disappearance of the cod fishery on the Grand Banks off Newfoundland or the failure of the North Sea herring fisheries, the reaction has been one of half-hearted measures: too little done too late in a chain of endless procrastination excused by the need for ever more scientific research.
