We review an atomic resolution imaging method based on the analysis of the fine structure in X-ray absorption anisotropy, which results from incident beam diffraction. For a polychromatic X-ray beam, due to the suppression of higher order diffraction fringes, X-ray absorption anisotropy patterns can be interpreted as distorted real-space projections of the atomic structure around absorbing atom...

stoichiometric tetragonal bal-xsrxtio3 (x = 0.23) nanopowders were prepared by stearic acid gel(sag) method using barium stearate, strontium stearate, tetrabutyl titanate as ba, sr, ti sourcesand stearic acid as complexing reagent. thermal analysis including differential thermogravimetric(dtg) and tg, fourier transform infrared spectrometry (ftir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) andtransmission electr...

methods retrospective cohort study of blunt trauma patients with rib fractures at a level i trauma center that had both a cxr and a ct chest. the ct finding of ≥ 3 additional fractures in patients with ≤ 3 rib fractures on cxr was considered clinically meaningful. student’s t-test and chi-square analysis were used for comparison. results we identified 499 patients with rib fractures: 93 (18.6%)...

background: bisphosphonates (bps) are used extensively for managing the osteoporosis. there are some controversies on atypical fractures of femur that associated with increase in cortical thickness (ct) and bps' use. in this study, the effects of alendronate consumption were studied on femoral ct as a predictor for atypical fracture.   methods: forty nine post-menopausal women aged 50-70 years ...

Core-shell 12-tungstophosphoric acid/TiO2 (HPW/TiO2) nanoparticles at 10 and 20% of HPW have been synthesized by simple in-situ sol- gel method. Characterization of the samples was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The X-ray diffraction patterns of as prepared solid samples, indicated characterist...
