Rocking curve imaging (projection and section X-ray topography) has been used to study the generation and propagation of defects at the junctions between and above the seed crystals in mono-like silicon ingots. The images of different kinds of defects such as precipitates, dislocations and twins in the integrated intensity, full width at half-maximum and peak position maps resulting from the ex...

Colloidal self assembly is an efficient method for making 3-D ordered nanostructures suitable for materials such as photonic crystals and macroporous solids for catalysis and sensor applications. Colloidal crystals grown by convective methods exhibit defects on two different scales. Macro defects such as cracks and void bands originate from the dynamics of meniscus motion during colloidal cryst...

3D scanning and modeling is used in a wide range of applications like manufacturing, aerospace, security, biomedicine, etc. This kind of systems allows the scanning of a 3D point cloud that can be meshed and rendered in order to obtain a complete 3D model. However, 3D vision cannot detect subsurface defects. This later can be achieved using other imaging modalities, like thermal infrared imagin...

Solute carrier family 19 (thiamine transporter), member 3 (SCL19A3) gene defect produces an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder associated with different phenotypes and acronyms. One of the common presentations is early infantile lethal Leigh-like syndrome. We report a case of early infantile Leigh-like SLC19A3 gene defects of patients who died at 4 months of age with no response to ...
