X-ray Crystallography02:18

X-ray Crystallography

26.3K
The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Excess Pressure Inside a Drop and a Bubble01:13

Excess Pressure Inside a Drop and a Bubble

3.6K
The shape of a small drop of liquid can be considered spherical, neglecting the effect of gravity. This drop can further be considered as two equal hemispherical drops put together due to surface tension. The forces acting on the spherical drop are due to the pressure of the liquid inside the drop, the pressure due to air outside the drop, and the force due to the surface tension acting on the two hemispherical drops.

X-ray Imaging

10.7K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

4.9K
X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are  scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The  X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

1.2K
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

499
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Area of Science:

  • Food Science
  • Materials Science
  • Rheology

Background:

  • Bubbles influence food texture, mouthfeel, and taste.
  • The role of bubbles in wheat flour noodle quality is understudied.
  • Understanding bubble dynamics is crucial for Asian noodle production.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of processing on bubble characteristics in wheat flour noodle dough.
  • To analyze bubble size distribution, orientation, and location within the dough sheet.
  • To correlate bubble properties with noodle quality attributes.

Main Methods:

  • Non-destructive synchrotron X-ray micro-computed tomography (XRM) for imaging noodle dough.
  • Image analysis protocols to quantify bubble parameters (size, orientation, position).
  • Investigation of processing effects, specifically lamination steps, on bubble morphology.

Main Results:

  • Bubble size distributions were accurately modeled using a lognormal distribution function.
  • Lamination processing led to bubble entrapment and reduced bubble size.
  • Bubbles were predominantly flat, elongated, and oriented along the sheeting direction.
  • A concentration gradient of bubbles was observed from the noodle core to the edges.
  • Aging effects on bubble structure were also identified.

Conclusions:

  • Synchrotron XRM provides a comprehensive, non-destructive method for analyzing bubble structures in noodle dough.
  • Processing parameters significantly influence the internal structure of noodle dough by altering bubble characteristics.
  • This research offers critical insights into the relationship between dough microstructure and the final quality of Asian noodles.
