TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the alignment angles obtained from DTI and diffusion tensor imaging in bovine articular cartilage using T2-weighted, diffusion-tensor, and PLM images.

TL;DR: Fourier transform Raman microscopic mapping was used to examine the distribution of the mineral and organic components in a cross-section of a human tooth as discussed by the authors, and the relative distributions of carbonate and phosphate ions as well as the organic matrix components were plotted using functional group maps.

TL;DR: In this paper, a correlation between a-axis parameters and fluoride ion content was found for calcined samples, however, for uncalcined samples the fluoride ions content was higher than estimated from the aaxis values, and the calcined bands showed OH band shifts and splitting in accordance with F-HO interactions affecting the OH vibration.

TL;DR: Simulated body fluid studies revealed that calcium phosphate (CaP) minerals formed on both the soluble polymers and the cross-linked gels were very similar and may be due to the ionic interaction of negatively charged phosphate groups and protonated amines.

TL;DR: In the case of the cross-linked HEMA homopolymer gels, the water transport mechanism was determined to be concentration-independent Fickian diffusion, but as the fraction of MOEP in the network increased, the transport mechanism became increasingly exponentially concentration-dependent but remained Ficksian until the polymer consisted of 30 mol % MOEP where the water Transport could no longer been described by Fickians.
