Examination of ‘Egyptian Blue’ by X-Ray Powder Photography

X-Ray Powder Diffraction Metrics

To compare sample data from x-ray diffraction a suitable metric is developed to evaluate the similarity (or dissimilarity) between samples and to compare it to a references. The methodology focuses on the d-lines and uses the intensity measurements indirectly in the algorithm. The resulting d-line distribution and summary statistics of the differences is used to establish whether a true differe...

Impact of quality control on radiation doses received by patients undergoing abdomen X-ray examination in ten hospitals

  ABSTRACT   Background: The X-ray machines used for radiodiagnosis should meet certain quality assurance (QA) programmes . These are necessary to have good quality radiographs at reasonably low exposure to patients.   Materials and Methods: Dose reduction methods in abdomen X-ray examination were carried out in 10 hospitals in Tehran. This paper presents the work, which was implemented on 200 ...

Acemetacin cocrystal structures by powder X-ray diffraction

Cocrystals of acemetacin drug (ACM) with nicotinamide (NAM), p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), valerolactam (VLM) and 2-pyridone (2HP) were prepared by melt crystallization and their X-ray crystal structures determined by high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction. The powerful technique of structure determination from powder data (SDPD) provided details of molecular packing and hydrogen bonding in pha...

Clarithromycin form I determined by synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction.

The structure of the metastable form I polymorph of the macrolide antibiotic clarithromycin, C(38)H(69)NO(13), was determined by a powder diffraction method using synchrotron radiation. The space group of form I is P2(1)2(1)2. The initial model was determined by a molecular replacement method using the structure of clarithromycin form 0 as a search model, and the final structure was obtained th...
