Magnetic Control of NanoEL via Magneto-Mechanical Actuation: A proof of Concept for a Potential Nanotherapeutic Approach
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-03)Cancer treatment is one of the major health problems that burdens society. According to the latest publication of the American Cancer Society, the cancer mortality rate has reached 32% in 2022 in the US. To address these ... -
RADIOSENSITIZATION OF PROSTATE CARCINOMA CELLS BY PEGYLATED METALLIC NANOPARTICLES TO PROTON IRRADIATION
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-01)One of the main goals of cancer radiation therapy is to reduce the dose to healthy tissues while maximizing the dose to malignant tissue. A special class of materials known as "radiosensitizers" has emerged that can help ... -
Fiducial Marker Placement and Selection Study for Real-Time Lung Tumor Tracking
(East Carolina University, 2023-04-26)Introduction: Lung cancer remains one of the most fatal forms of cancer globally. Lung cancer is often treated by surgical removal of the malignant tissue however, surgery is not often an option for lung cancer. Radiation ... -
EVALUATING THE USE OF TURBIDIMETRY FOR STUDYING FIBRIN STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES
(East Carolina University, 2023-04-21)A fibrin fiber mesh forms the structural backbone of blood clots. Many pathological conditions result in fibrin gels with altered structural properties, so there is interest in developing rapid and accurate ways to ... -

Lèvy noise induced steady states
(East Carolina University, 2022-06-08)Systems far from equilibrium organize themselves to accommodate energy throughput. It is also in these nonequilibrium systems where noise has often been found to follow alpha-stable distributions, commonly called Lèvy ... -
SAFE HAVENS AND HOT SPOTS: IONIZING RADIATION IN MARTIAN PERMAFROST AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE SURVIVAL OF ANCIENT LIFE
(East Carolina University, 2022-06-20)Permafrost on Mars is considered a primary target for the search for life. On a microscopic scale permafrost is highly non-uniform and the effective radiation dose absorbed by a microbe, and thus its survival probability, ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD FOR FULL CHARACTERIZATION OF TURBIDITY
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-21)Characterization of turbid materials by determining their inherent optical properties have attracted strong research interest for potentially wide applications in fields such as material analysis and biomedical optics. The ...
