Were determined mechanical milling parameters (impact velocity, collision energy, impact pressure, impacted powder temperature, etc.) to explain the structural transformation of titanium dioxide obtained by medium and high energy ball milling. The effects time (6 hours 24 hours) rotation velocity discs on polymorphic evolution characteristics during process were investigated using X-ray diffrac...

BACKGROUND Classification of molar gestation into Complete Hydatidiform Mole (CHM) and Partial Hydatidiform Mole (PHM) is done according to clinical, ultrasonographic, histologic and genetic criteria. However, making a distinction between CHM and PHM using histologic criteria alone may be difficult and several studies have shown that misclassifications are frequent, even for experienced patholo...

Elusive metastable orthorhombic paracetamol single crystals were obtained by specially designed seeding technique from conventional slow evaporation method. Seeds were prepared at optimized conditions under different cooling rates from seed preparation unit and Powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) was performed to ensure the polymorphic form of seeds. Saturated paracetamol solutions with three diffe...

Metastasis-related genes are deregulated in cancer by aberrant expression or splicing. Here, we analyzed polymorphic sites in the osteopontin promoter as potential contributors to aberrant expression in breast cancers. This study comprised 241 breast cancer specimens, for which DNA from normal surrounding tissue was available for 111, and 65 healthy breast samples. The polymorphic site in posit...

I would like to dedicate my thesis to my beloved grandparents and parents for making me who I am, and friends for all the help and support A special thanks to my family. Words cannot express how grateful I am to my grandparents and my parents for all of the sacrifices that you've made on my behalf. I am also grateful to all my friends in Amherst who make these five years really unforgettable, e...

Mebendazole is a common benzimidazole anthelmintic that is water insoluble. It is reported to exist in three different polymorphic forms in the solid state, i.e. polymorph A, B and C. Form C is the pharmaceutically preferred form because of its increased aqueous solubility. This paper deals with the use of variable-temperature X-ray powder analysis (VTXRPD) to study the transformation of Form C...
