With generalized uncertainty models, more than one uncertainty characteristic can be considered. This contribution will present fuzziness and randomness as basic models and furthermore fuzzy probability-based randomness as a polymorphic model (see Pannier et al. 2013).

Polymorphic forms I and II of 3- 2-[4-(6-fluorobenzo[r/]isoxazol-3-yl)-3,6-dihydro-2//-pyridin-l-yl]ethyl -2-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4//-pyrido[l,2-u]pyrimidin-4-one were characterized by the powder X-ray diffraction model (99MIP1). 

Knockout mice have been reported for several FATPs [1]. As insulin desensitization has been closely linked to excessive fatty acid uptake and intracellular diacylgly-cerol and TG accumulation, these animal models were particularly evaluated in the context of protection from diet-induced type 2 diabetes ( Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)). In addition, studies on human subjects have also established genetic links between polymorphisms in FATP genes and metabolic alterations [1]. 

In the second section a classification of the different kinds of polymorphism in polymers is made on the basis of idealized structural models and upon consideration of limiting models of the order-disorder phenomena which may occur at the molecular level. The determination of structural models and degree of order can be made appropriately through diffraction experiments. Polymorphism in polymers is, here, discussed only with reference to cases and models, for which long-range positional order is preserved at least in one dimension. 

The different chain conformations observed in different polymorphic forms of a polymer are generally associated to nearly equivalent minima in the conformational energy maps, calculated for isolated chain models [2, 3],...

Abstract Protoberberine alkaloids and related compounds represent an important class of molecules and have attracted recent attention for their various pharmacological activities. This chapter deals with the physicochemical properties of several isoquinoline alkaloids (berberine, palmatine and coralyne) and many of their derivatives under various environmental conditions. The interaction of these compounds with polymorphic DNA structures (B-form, Z-form, H -form, protonated form, triple helical form and quadruplex form) and polymorphic RNA structures (A-form, protonated form, triple helical form and quadruplex form) reported by several research groups, employing various analytical techniques such as spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry, circular dichro-ism, NMR spectroscopy, viscometry as well as molecular modelling and thermodynamic analysis to elucidate their mode and mechanism of action for structure-activity relationships, are also presented. 

The basic biology of chemokines and their receptors is well covered in Chapters 2 and 3 of this book, and we will focus hereafter upon the roles of individual chemokines and receptors in atherosclerosis. The largest amount of data on the roles of chemokines in cardiovascular disease (C VD) has been obtained from in vitro studies and murine models, which will be discussed in detail. In man, genetic polymorphisms in chemokine and chemokine-receptor genes have pointed to an important role for specific chemokines in various atherosclerotic diseases including coronary artery disease and carotid artery occlusive disease. For properties see Table 1. 

Applications The general applications of XRD comprise routine phase identification, quantitative analysis, compositional studies of crystalline solid compounds, texture and residual stress analysis, high-and low-temperature studies, low-angle analysis, films, etc. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction has been used for detailed structural analysis of many pure polymer additives (antioxidants, flame retardants, plasticisers, fillers, pigments and dyes, etc.) and for conformational analysis. A variety of analytical techniques are used to identify and classify different crystal polymorphs, notably XRD, microscopy, DSC, FTIR and NIRS. A comprehensive review of the analytical techniques employed for the analysis of polymorphs has been compiled [324]. The Rietveld method has been used to model a mineral-filled PPS compound [325]. 

We note here that all the information presently available on high molecular weight polymer crystal structures is compatible with the bundle model. While very nearly all crystalline polymer polymorphs involve all-parallel chain arrangements, even the only known exception, namely y-iPP [104,105], where chains oriented at 80° to each other coexist, is characterized by bilayers of parallel chains with opposite orientation. This structure is thus easily compatible with crystallization mechanisms involving deposition of bundles of 5-10 antiparallel stems on the growing crystal surface. Also the preferred growth... 

A derived crystal packing model proved to be useful in resolving the crystal structure of a metastable polymorph of racemic modafinil, where details of the solved crystal structure of one polymorph was used as a basis for developing the structure of the other [12]. It was found that the calculated XRPD pattern matched well with the experimental data, indicating the correctness of the analysis. The powder diffraction of two polymorphs of chlorothalonil were solved to obtain...
