  2. Topicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topicity

    Enantiotopic groups are identical and indistinguishable except in chiral environments. For instance, the CH 2 hydrogens in ethanol (CH 3 CH 2 OH) are normally enantiotopic, but can be made different (diastereotopic) if combined with a chiral center, for instance by conversion to an ester of a chiral carboxylic acid such as lactic acid, or if coordinated to a chiral metal center, or if ...

  3. Diastereomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diastereomer

    Even though they share the same molar weight, glucose is more stable than galactose. This difference in stability causes galactose to be absorbed slightly faster than glucose in human body. [4] [5] Diastereoselectivity is the preference for the formation of one or more than one diastereomer over the other in an organic reaction.

  4. Transition metal thioether complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_metal_thioether...

    One example is [Ru(NH 3) 5 (SMeEt)] 2+. The complex cis-VOCl 2 (SMeEt) 2 exists as meso- and a pair of enantiomers. [7] In complexes of thioethers of the type S(CH 2 R) 2 (R ≠ H), the methylene protons are diastereotopic. Examination of the NMR spectra of such complexes reveal that they undergo inversion at sulfur, without dissociation of the ...

  5. Composition of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

    Pie charts of typical human body composition by percent of mass, and by percent of atomic composition (atomic percent) Body composition may be analyzed in various ways. This can be done in terms of the chemical elements present, or by molecular structure e.g., water , protein , fats (or lipids ), hydroxyapatite (in bones), carbohydrates (such ...

  6. Medical imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_imaging

    A magnetic resonance imaging instrument (MRI scanner), or "nuclear magnetic resonance imaging" scanner as it was originally known, uses powerful magnets to polarize and excite hydrogen nuclei (i.e., single protons) of water molecules in human tissue, producing a detectable signal which is spatially encoded, resulting in images of the body. [5]

  7. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion-weighted...

    In diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), the intensity of each image element reflects the best estimate of the rate of water diffusion at that location.Because the mobility of water is driven by thermal agitation and highly dependent on its cellular environment, the hypothesis behind DWI is that findings may indicate (early) pathologic change.

  8. The Clitoris And The Body - The Huffington Post

    projects.huffingtonpost.com/projects/cliteracy/...

    From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.

  9. Davenport diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davenport_diagram

    Recall that the relationship represented in a Davenport diagram is a relationship between three variables: P CO 2, bicarbonate concentration and pH.Thus, Fig. 7 can be thought of as a topographical map—that is, a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional surface—where each isopleth indicates a different partial pressure or “altitude.”
