Gypsum changes rapidly to bassanite in contact with water at 97.5°C[38] while bassanite is considered metastable and in turn is converted slowly to anhydrite at similar temperatures.[39] The gypsum anhydrite transition temperature of 42°C is known to increase in the presence of additional salts in solution.
Afterwards, this solid converts slowly to crystalline apatite (Ca/P = 1.67) by an autocatalytic mechanism [3].
The excess snow is converted slowly into glacier ice, the rate depending on the temperature and annual accumulation of snow.
Sterically demanding 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl alcohol (Table 4, entry 10) was converted slowly.
XRD analysis demonstrated a slower accumulation of HAP under these same conditions, with the initial predominance of amorphous patterns and mono-calcium phosphate peaks that converted much more slowly to HAP crystals (not shown).
And then you have the police, who are slowly converting themselves to become hippies.
Right now, as you read this, every diamond you've ever seen is slowly converting back to graphite.
The old Fortran code in crystals is slowly being converted to modern Fortran to ensure a smooth transition to the future.
Britain's largest power station, Drax, has been slowly converting its units to biomass, although it offers no timeframe for a complete switch.
It is likely that mosquito OBPs exist in monomer-dimer equilibrium, with isolated dimers slowly converting to monomers [3].
For example, FGF2 along with IGF activate OPCs, whereas PDGF convert adult OPCs, which divide slowly, to 'newborn' progenitors with a higher proliferation rate.
