Jb. Hui et al., THE RING-LIKE STRUCTURES IN GALLSTONE AND ITS FORMATIONS IN A MIMETICSYSTEM IN-VITRO, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 19(9), 1998, pp. 1359-1362
In a chemical mimetic system in vitro, the formation process of gallst
one with ring-like structures were extensively investigated. It was ob
served that ring-like structures were formed and the patterns,with cha
racteristics of self-organization were also produced in-the mimetic sy
stem. Both of the precipitates and fractals formed in the mimetic syst
em were arranged in a regular ring-like way. The experimental results
also showed that there are strong interactions and cooperation behavio
r between cations, So we speculated that all of these structures might
follow a ''Concentric Rule'' when ring-like patterns were formed. The
''Concentric Rule'' is that: In an open system, which can exchange en
ergy and materials with environment, there will be order structures au
tomatically and all the ring-like structures will share the same cente
r of circle and all patterns will grow around this center although eac
h ring-like structure has its own radius. The growth region of each ri
ng-like pattern will be controlled by their own radius. According to t
his rule, we can explain and understand almost all the phenomena occur
ed in our experiments.
