Multi-wavelength beam splitting systems for simultaneous imaging of a distant object in two or more spectral channels using a single camera
(2016-09-29)An optical imaging system and related methods are provided that acquire images of an object at a distance in different spectral regions using only one camera. The systems and methods are adaptable to applications where ... -
Mutation of tandem repeats in fibrin's alpha-C region
(East Carolina University, 2018-01-19)Cardiovascular problems such as myocardial infarctions and emboli are the number one killers in the United States. These health concerns arise from blood clotting unnecessarily in the veins or arteries. Studies have shown ... -
A new assessment model for tumor heterogeneity analysis with [18]F-FDG PET images
(2016-01)It has been shown that the intratumor heterogeneity can be characterized with quantitative analysis of the [18]F-FDG PET image data. The existing models employ multiple parameters for feature extraction which makes it ... -
Optical and dielectric properties of metallic calcium, modeled generalized oscillator strength function of calcium, interaction cross sections of electrons, protons, and alpha particles with calcium
(East Carolina University, 2013)An analysis of the optical and the dielectric properties of calcium, determined from the literature, was performed. The optical functions of calcium were used for a calculation of the energy loss function of calcium. The ... -
Optical Pulling, Optical Deflection, and Optical Trapping of Single Airborne Particles using Negative Photophoresis
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)Optical manipulation is the use of light to control the motion of objects. This thesis focuses on the development of optical transportation technology via optical pulling with application to the characterization of single ... -
Optimizing graphene oxide reduction via laser irradiation
(East Carolina University, 2017-01-04)The present report discusses a single step method to reduce graphene oxide via laser irradiation. A computer numerically controlled laser engraver equipped with a 450nm laser diode was engineered to conduct this research. ... -
Particle motion and sound propagation near boundaries
(2019-07-09)It has been well-established that the inner ears of fishes act as particle motion detectors (Popper and Hawkins, 2018) and that fishes use particle motion to determine the direction of a sound source (Hawkins and Popper, ... -
Perturbation of Circadian Neuronal Oscillators with Low-Intensity Magnetic Stimulation
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-23)Circadian neuronal oscillatory dynamics are perturbed substantially in numerous neuropsychiatric diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and depression. Moreover, desynchronization of neuronal oscillators complicates ... -
PROFILING EFFUSION CELLS BY QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF MORPHOLOGY AND DIFFRACTION IMAGING PATTERNS
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-12)Profiling cells in human pleural and peritoneal effusion (PPE) samples is an essential task for cytological diagnosis of cancers and patient management. Conventional PPE cytology of a PPE sample is labor intensive and its ... -
A PROPOSED METHODOLOGY TO ASSESS HDR [superscript]192Ir RADIAL DOSE WITH FRICKE DOSIMETRY
(East Carolina University, 2011)The radial absorbed dose to water, D(r,theta), a quantity not yet directly measured with primary standards, was assessed with the Fricke solution which has been considered as an absolute aqueous solution to perform dosimetry. ... -
Protection and Sensitization of Human Cells to Proton Radiation by Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-17)In radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer, there is demand for novel approaches that will improve tumor cell killing while protecting healthy tissue. One such approach that has shown considerable promise is the ...
