Hydroxyapatite is naturally found in bones. Thus, it is very biocompatible. Hydroxyapatite coated titanium is widely used as implants, such as the hip replacement and some dental root implants. The project . White dwarfs, neutron stars, and (solar mass) black holes are the collapsed cores of stars which, near the ends of their luminous lives, have shed most of their mass in supernova explosions or other, less spectacular, instabilities. Here gravity crushes matter to realms that lie far beyond present empirical knowledge. This book explores the diverse forms that such compact stars can possibly take, as constrained by the laws of nature: the general principles of relativity and quantum mechanics, the properties of nuclear matter deduced from nuclei, and the asymptotic freedom of quarks at high density. The book is self contained. It reviews general relativity, essential aspects of nuclear and particle physics, and general features of white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes it includes background on such matters as stellar formation and evolution, the discovery of pulsars and associated phenomena, and the strange-matter hypothesis. The book develops a theory for the constitution of neutron stars and the more exotic Hyperon Stars, Hybrid Stars (containing a quark matter core surrounded by an intricate lattice of quark and hadronic matter) and Strange Stars and Dwarfs (composed of the three light quark flavors sheathed in a solid skin of heavy ions). This second edition has been revised throughout to clarify discussions and bring data up to date it includes new figures, several new sections, and new chapters on Bose condensates in neutron stars and on phase transitions. Science: Phenomenology & Understanding . Phenomenology has three distinct steps. Discovery . Systematic study of phenomena: Search for patterns. Inference: Physical models to explain observations (and occasionally make predictions).
