Detection of breast cancer using non-invasive X-ray diffraction technique of hair: A preliminary study
Background: An early diagnosis of breast cancer relates directly to an accurate treatment plan and strategy. Early detection of breast cancer before its development would be a significant reduction of morbidity and mortality rates. The aim of this preliminary study is to investigate the sensitivity of Wide Angle X-ray diffraction (WAXRD) method on women hair samples of healthy and breast cancer...
متن کاملPhase Transitions in Driven Bilayer Systems: A Monte Carlo Study.
We investigate the phase diagram of a system with two layers of an Ising lattice gas at half filling. In addition to the usual intralayer nearest neighbor attractive interaction, there is an interlayer potential J . Under equilibrium conditions, the phase diagram is symmetric under J ! 2J , though the ground states are different. The effects of imposing a uniform external drive, studied by simu...
متن کاملCalorimetric and small angle x-ray scattering study of phase transitions in octylcyanobiphenyl-aerosil dispersions
High-resolution calorimetric studies have been made of the liquid crystal phase transitions for several dispersions of 70-Å-diam silica spheres ~aerosil! in octylcyanobiphenyl ~8CB! as a function of silica density rS . The excess specific heat peaks associated with the nematic-isotropic (N-I) and the nematic–smectic-A (N-SmA) transitions both exhibit shifts to lower temperatures, decreases in t...
متن کاملStabilization of bilayer structure for unsaturated phosphatidylethanolamines by detergents.
The structural preferences of mixed lipid systems containing egg yolk or 18:1c/18:1c phosphatidylethanolamine and representative detergents (Triton X-100, deoxycholate, octylglucoside and lyso-phosphatidylcholine) have been examined. It is shown that all these detergents exhibit an ability to stabilize a bilayer organization for the phosphatidylethanolamine at detergent to phosphatidylethanolam...
متن کاملQuantum phase transitions of polar molecules in bilayer systems.
We investigate the quantum phase transitions of bosonic polar molecules in a two-dimensional double layer system. We show that an interlayer bound state of dipoles (dimers) can be formed when the dipole strength is above a critical value, leading to a zero-energy resonance in the interlayer s-wave scattering channel. In the positive detuning side of the resonance, the strong repulsive interlaye...
