  Melting temperature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dissociation of a double-stranded DNA molecule is often referred to as melting because it occurs quickly once a certain temperature has been reached.
melting temperature depends on both the length of the molecule, and the specific nucleotide sequence composition of that molecule.
Where failures to correlate the buoyant density and the melting temperature arise (as in many bacteriophage DNAs) unusual bases have been found replacing all or part of one of the nucleotides in the genome.

 Melting point - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The melting point of a crystalline solid is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid.
Melting points are often used to characterise organic compounds and to ascertain the purity.
The melting point of a pure substance is always higher than the melting point of that substance when a small amount of an impurity is present.

 Bilge's Research Description
An alternative approach to predict the melting temperature of a duplex is to start from the calculated or observed molecular properties of the nucleotides, such as their thermodynamical as well as the molecular crystal structure data.
One is the correct prediction of the melting temperature of the oligonucleotides on the surface.
With this research, a new approach to predict the melting temperature and the stability of the oligonucleotides both in solution and on surface is to be developed using an integrated thermodynamical approach verified by experimental results.

 CHM 235L - Exp. 1 Melting Points
Substances melt throughout a tempera­ture range in which both the solid and liquid phases of the substance coexist in a state of equilibri­um.
The extent of this temperature range is a measure of the purity of the substance; that is, impure samples of compounds have lower and broader temperature ranges of melting.
The melting point of the mixture will be identical to that of the known compound in the first instance or lowered and much broadened in the latter.

Determination of the temperature at which the solid and liquid phases of a substance are in equilibrium is tedious and time consuming; it is also quite difficult with a small amount of sample.
Record the range of temperature from the first visible evidence of liquid (the sample appears moist, or a tiny drop of liquid is observed) to the complete liquefaction of the sample.
If its melting point is the same as that of the unknown, it is likely that your unknown and the compound with which you mixed it are the same.

 Melting of ‘porous’ vortex matter
The images were obtained by differential magneto-optical imaging, with temperature modulation of 0.3 K. For clarity, the vortex solid has been colored in two shades; the orange-brown color corresponds to the vortex solid in the pristine regions of the sample and a darker brown color for the irradiated circular regions.
In the movie it is clearly seen that the pristine unirradiated regions of the sample melt well before the irradiated apertures, in which the melting temperature is shifted by about 1 K with respect to the neighboring unirradiated regions.
In this temperature interval the vortex solid inside the apertures (dark brown) is surrounded by vortex liquid phase in the pristine regions (dark blue).

 Melting Curves of Lower Mantle Phases
As silicate perovskite is widely believed to be the dominant phase of the Earth's lower mantle, the perovskite melting curve represents an upper bound to the temperature of this region, and places important constraints on the thermodynamic and rheological properties of the lower mantle.
Extrapolation to the CMB pressure yields a melting temperature between 7000 and 8500 K. A number of discussions of the relative merits of these experiments have been reported [ Heinz et al., 1991; Heinz et al., 1994; Boehler and Zerr, 1994].
Extrapolation of recently measured melting curves (to 32 GPa) of MgO and (Mg,Fe)O indicates these materials melt at 3500-5000 K at lower mantle pressures [ Zerr and Boehler, 1994], but molecular dynamics calculations of MgO melting temperatures are higher by several thousand Kelvin [ Cohen and Gong, 1994].

During a melting of the "S" paraffin and its mixing with a mineral oil in a PCR tube the formed mixture does not harden at the room temperature.
At the same time the low melting temperature is less suitable for a "hot start" and increases a probability of a non-specific primer annealing.
During a use of "R" paraffin a probability of the non-specific primer annealing is minimal.

In the first paper of this series, it is shown that the linear extrapolation of observed melting temperatures cannot, in general, provide a reliable estimate of the equilibrium melting temperature.
T + C2, and the finite lamellar thickness dependent melting temperature depression, as described by the Gibbs-Thomson treatment, provides a venue to the general relationship between the crystallization and observed melting temperatures.
It is further shown that, for a constant thickening coefficient, the observed melting temperature must vary nonlinearly with the crystallization temperature.

 Melting Ice with Space Heaters
The purpose of these tests was to determine the effects of air temperature, wind speed, and distance between the outlet and ice surface (standoff) with the use of hot air to melt ice.
Thus, the temperature of the exhaust gases dominates the heat transfer, and the air temperature primarily affects only the sensible heat stored in the ice block, which is typically very small in comparison to the latent heat of ice.
Even if the ice temperature were to drop to -10° F (-23° C) (an air temperature frequently seen at many Corps projects in the northern part of the United States), the sensible heat represents less than 15 percent of the latent heat of fusion for ice.

 melting point
When heat is applied continuously and in sufficient quantity to such solids, the temperature rises steadily until it reaches the point at which liquefaction occurs.
Here the rise ceases and no further change in temperature is observed until all of the substance has been converted to liquid.
The heat being applied to the substance at that temperature is consumed in bringing about the change of state, and none is available to raise the temperature of that part of the substance already liquefied until all of it has changed to the liquid.

In the case of a valve designed to be normally open at ambient temperature, one would use a paraffin having a melting temperature above ambient.
The availability of paraffins that have melting temperatures from -70 to +80 °C should make it possible to develop a variety of normally closed and normally open valves.
In the normally open valve, the paraffin would have a melting temperature above ambient (e.g., 40 °C) and the wall of the well would be coated with a layer of titanium that would serve as an electric heater.

 A New State Of Matter Turns A Solid World Into A Melting One
The melting point was observed by forming condensation 'droplets', rather like hot steam hitting a cold window, and passing the condensate through a mass spectrometer and finally an electric field.
Bertsch concedes that the research is controversial, and there are physicists who insist there can only be one melting temperature for each of the 92 natural elements.
However, he notes, it has been suggested that there is a relation to a theory known as surface melting: when a substance reaches melting temperature, only a small surface layer melts immediately.

 Lapidary Journal: Technically Speaking - Solder by Sara M. Sanford
Melting temperatures of solder are determined by the zinc content: the higher the zinc content, the lower the melting temperature.
Zinc is what turns the lower melting temperature silver solders a yellowish-gray; to avoid conspicuous solder lines, use the highest temperature solder feasible.
The melting temperature is when the solder starts to melt, and the flow point occurs when the solder is completely molten.

The {\em melting temperature} of a string is twice the number of 'A's and 'T's, plus 4 times the number of 'C's and 'G's.
