Background: Chest X-ray is one of the examinations required for an annual health checkup. The interaction of radiation to the medium produces free radicals, which consequently causes biological changes either structural or properties of the cells. Whether the radiation from Chest X-ray upright technique affects the plasma membrane fluidity of thalassemic red blood cells (RBCs) is still unclear....

Structural changes of the iron(II)-tris-bipyridine ([Fe(II)(bpy)(3)](2+)) complex induced by ultrashort pulse excitation and population of its short-lived (< or =0.6 ns) quintet high spin state have been detected by picosecond x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The structural relaxation from the high spin to the low spin state was followed over the entire lifetime of the excited state. A combined a...

The crystals of [WS (CuNCS) ] anion have been isolated from CH ,CI solution and examined by X-ray structural analysis as well as by IR spectroscopy. The unit cell is monoclinic with a= 14.3796(13), b= 18.039(1 I), c= 22.5956(23)& P= 96.053(8)', space group P2,/n (14), Z= 4. The crystal structure was refined by the least-squares calculations to a final R-value of 0.0398(Rw= 0.0443) for 2777 u...

We discuss techniques for managing and visualizing x-ray diffraction spectrum data for thin film composition spreads which map large fractions of ternary compositional phase diagrams. An in-house x-ray microdiffractometer is used to obtain spectra from over 500 different compositions on an individual spread. The MATLAB software is used to quickly organize the data and create various plots from ...

a two-dimensional nanolayered polyoxomolybdate, [4,4´-h2bipy] [mo7o22].h2o (1), where 4,4´-bipy = 4,4´-bipyridine, was prepared and characterized by ft-ir and atomic absorption spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy (tem), x-ray single crystal and powder diffraction (xrd), and thermogravimetric analysis. the catalytic performance of 1 was assessed in the epoxidation of some olefins em...

Polyacrylonitryle (PAN) fibers are used on a large scale in textile industry but, some sorts of PAN fibers are valuable precursors for specific carbon fiber (CF) due to their best fitness to the purpose e.g. for high strength CF or for active CF. The application of PAN as precursors of CF is based on its specific structure and texture. Thus, the properties of PAN base CF strongly depend on PAN ...

conclusion dt-sfp can improve the detection of relatively early bone abnormalities in acetabular and proximal femur compared with conventional radiography. dt-sfp can also observe the abnormal impact between acetabular and proximal femur. patients and methods ninety-four consecutive patients with discomfort around the hip joint underwent dt-sfp and conventional radiography. the imaging features...
