Esophageal atresia and Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome in one of the naturally conceived discordant newborn twins: first report
2018
Key Clinical Message Recent studies report a high incidence of monozygotic twinning in Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome. A phenotypical discordance in monozygotic twins is rare. Twinning and Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome show higher incidence in children born after assisted reproductive techniques. We report on the first observation of esophageal atresia and Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome in one of the naturally conceived discordant monozygotic twins.
Monozygotic twinning after assisted reproductive technologies: a case report of asymmetric development and incidence during 19 years in an internatio…
2015
Objective To describe a case of monozygotic twinning with asymmetric development following a single fresh embryo transfer as part of an intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. Secondarily, to report the incidence of monozygotic twinning at the IVI (Instituto Valenciano de Infertilidad) clinics. Design Case report. Setting Private fertility centers. Patient(s) A 33-year-old woman with a 2-year history of primary infertility. Intervention(s) Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and ICSI treatment with single-embryo transfer. Main Outcome Measure(s) Incidence of monozygotic twinning at the IVI clinics. Result(s) We report a twin pregnancy after a single-embryo transfer. Twins were di…
Kultūrapmaiņas iespaids un “citādība” Vācijas pilsētu pirmajā koplīgumā starp Eizenhūtenštati un Zārluī no 1986 līdz šodienai
2018
Abstrakts: Šajā darbā izmantotā kvalitatīvā analīze apskata Vācijas pirmo veiksmīgi noslēgto starppilsētu sadraudzības līgumu starp Eisenhüttenstadt un Saarlouis pilsētām laika posmā no 1986. gada līdz šodienai. Esošie stereotipi un aizspriedumi, kas vēl joprojām eksistē starp bijušās Rietumvācijas un Austrumvācijas pilsētu iedzīvotājiem, pierāda, ka iepriekš valdošo režīmu atstātās sekas nav zudušas, kas apliecina šī vēsturiski nozīmīgā notikuma analīzes nepieciešamību un aktualitāti. Tēmas aktualitāti pierāda ne tikai esošie aizspriedumi, bet arī neatrisinātie konflikti divu valstu starpā, piemēram Ķīnā un Taivānā vai Indijā un Pakistānā. Darbā apskatītā tēma ilustrē kā valsts apvienošana…
Temperature-induced martensite in magnetic shape memory Fe2MnGa observed by photoemission electron microscopy
2012
The magnetic domain structure in single crystals of a Heusler shape memory compound near the composition Fe2MnGa was observed during phase transition by photoelectron emission microscopy at Beamline 11.0.1.1 of the Advanced Light Source. The behavior is comparable with recent observations of an adaptive martensite phase in prototype Ni2MnGa, although the pinning in the recent work is an epitaxial interface and in this work the effective pinning plane is a boundary between martensitic variants that transform in a self-accommodating way from the single crystal austenite phase present at high temperatures. Temperature dependent observations of the twinning structure give information as to the …
Growth and defect studies of CdTe particles
2013
The paper reports the epitaxial growth of cadmium telluride (CdTe) particles by thermal deposition on cleaved planes of (001)NaCl and (001)KBr. Using high resolution transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction it was shown that CdTe particles could have different orientation and phase (cubic or hexagonal) depending on the substrate temperature. Their most common defects are twins and stacking faults.
Electron Diffraction and Imaging of Uncompressed Monolayers of Amphiphilic Molecules on Vitreous and Hexagonal Ice
1993
A new approach is described for probing domains of ordered self-assemblies of amphiphilic monolayers at the aqueous solution interface. The method has potential importance for the study of membrane structure, Langmuir-Blodgett films, and nucleation processes of two-and three-dimensional crystals. Electron diffraction (ED) patterns indicative of two-dimensional crystalline self-assembly were obtained from samples, which were examined by cryo-electron microscopy, of monolayers of water-insoluble amphiphiles on vitrified aqueour substrates. The apparent hexagonal symmetry of an ED pattern from a C(16)H(33)OH monolayer was interpreted in terms of multiple twinning. Monolayers of the CL(31)H(63)…
Structural phase transition to disorder low-temperature phase in [Fe(ptz)6](BF4)2 spin-crossover compounds.
2012
In the spin-crossover compound [Fe(ptz)6](BF4)2 (where ptz=1-n-propyltetrazole) six different phases are observed. When a single crystal is slowly cooled from high temperatures to those below 125 K, the reflections broaden into diffuse maxima and split into two maxima along the c* direction [Kusz, Gütlich & Spiering (2004). Top. Curr. Chem. 234, 129–153]. As both maxima are broad along the c* direction, the short-range order exists only along the c direction and in the ab plane the structure remains long-range ordered. In this disordered phase additional satellite reflections appear. Upon heating above 135 K, the diffuse maxima return to their previous shape and this process is complete…
Using Electron Diffraction to Solve the Crystal Structure of a Laked Azo Pigment
2009
The structure of the ζ phase of Pigment Red 53:2 was solved using electron diffraction data. The unit cell determination appeared to be more complicated due to twinning of the crystals. A series of...
Study of plastic deformation modes in zirconium by color image analysis
2004
Abstract Twinning, as a deformation mode, is a complement to slip. This paper deals with the study from a qualitative point of view, as well as from a quantitative one. Besides techniques widely used in materials science studies such as electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) or X-ray diffraction (XRD), colour image analysis technique are presented here. Its results manage to confirm or complete the ones obtained, thanks to others methods.
Influence of Twinning Microstructure of Crystals with Low Tetragonality on a X-Ray Diffraction
2001
The intensity distributions of the X-rays scattered in the tetragonal single crystal, which represent a complex of the twin domains separated by the coherent parallel boundaries, are simulated. The calculations are performed by using the Monte Carlo method within the framework of a kinematical approach. The thickness distributions of the twin domains are defined according to the geometrical, Gaussian and log normal functions. ‘Critical’ effects of the X-ray scattering are found, namely there is transformation of the tetragonal doublet into singlet or multiplet. As demonstrated, each of characteristics of the tetragonal doublet profile depends on a few parameters of the twin microstructure o…
