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...

Magnesium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using Arabic gum as a biotemplate andmagnesium nitrate as the magnesium source by the sol-gel method. This method has manyadvantages such as nontoxic, economic viability, ease to scale up, less time consuming andenvironmental friendly approach for the synthesis of MgO nanoparticles without using anyorganic chemicals. Nanoparticles were characterize...

-Thirty two boehmites, synthesized at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 300~ were examined by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and infrared spectroscopy. The results show that boehmite exhibits a continuous gradation in crystallite size ranging from single octahedral layers ...

oxide nanoparticles of fe-co-ni were prepared in six different compositions by co-precipitation method. the as-synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), field emission scanning electron microscope (fesem), fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) and vibrating sample magnetometer  (vsm). it was found that the nanoparticles had mean crystalline size of 30-55 nm and spher...

shot peening applies a residual compressive stress field (rcsf) on the surface of parts. it also shifts “crack nucleation sites” to sub-surface locations. a nondestructive method of measuring the stresses, sin2ψ was utilized here and the stress values introduced to ansys software. for this purpose, uniform stress in all directions was applied on the con rod. loading on the rod in ansys had thre...
