The Effect of Minor Components on Milk Fat Crystallization
TL;DR: In this article, triacylglycerols were chromatographically separated from minor components and diacyl glycerols added back to the milk fat triacyls glycerol.

Atomic force microscopy measurements of crystal nucleation and growth rates in thin films of amorphous Te alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, the crystal nucleation behavior of Ag0.055In0.065Sb0.59Te0.29, Ge4Sb1Te5, and Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films used for optical data storage was investigated.

Pairwise interactions and the ground state of ordered binary alloys
M.J Richards,John W. Cahn +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the ground state energy and superstructures of b.c.c and f.c were examined for non-stoichiometric alloys, and two-phase mixtures of ordered structures of adjacent stoichiometries are often the state of lowest energy.

The bainite transformation: unresolved issues
TL;DR: A great deal of research, over many decades, has revealed substantial information about the mechanism of the bainite transformation in steels as mentioned in this paper, which are now routinely being used in many parts of the world in the design of novel alloys and in the interpretation of a variety of experimental data.

Gas-induced transformation and expansion of a non-porous organic solid
Praveen K. Thallapally,B. Peter McGrail,Scott J. Dalgarno,Scott J. Dalgarno,Herbert T. Schaef,Jian Tian,Jerry L. Atwood +6 more
TL;DR: A gas-induced transformation that remarkably converts the high-density guest-free form of a well-known organic host to a low-density form and vice versa is reported, a process that would be expected to involve surmounting a considerable energy barrier.
