Summary The experiment solidified the hypothesis that the 6061 aluminum has no ductile-to-brittle transition do to its FCC crystal structure. The 1018 steel has a ductile-to-brittle transition temperature of -31ºC due to its BCC crystal structure. Results Table 1: Test temperatures and average fracture energies with errors for Group 4 and

Hypophosphatasia is one of many disorders that resemble oseogenisis imperfecta‚ also known as “Brittle Bone Disease”. A mutation in the gene that codes for tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase‚ or ALP‚ is believed to be the cause. That is the central hostile regulator for bone mineralization. The patient who has Hypophosphatasia receives one defective gene from each parent. (Hypophosphatasia‚ eMedicine) Males‚ females‚ and all races are equally affected. Incidence has been rated
