DOSIMETRIC STUDY OF BETA-MINUS EMITTER PRASEODYMIUM-142 : APPLICATIONS IN MICROSPHERE BRACHYTHERAPY FOR HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA AND BRACHYTHERAPY FOR OCULAR SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
(East Carolina University, 2013)
A dosimetric study of the beta-minus emitter Praseodymium-142 (¹⁴²Pr) was performed and two main innovative applications of this source in brachytherapy are proposed: microsphere brachytherapy and eye plaque brachytherapy. ...
Correlating the Morphological and Light Scattering Properties of Biological Cells
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The scattered light pattern from a biological cell is greatly influenced by the internal structure and optical properties of the cell. This research project examines the relationships between the morphological and scattering ...
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. ...
COMPARISON OF TWO HUMAN CELL LINES FOLLOWING EXPOSURE TO LOW DOSE RADIATION AND TREATMENT WITH SOYBEAN MISO AND ITS ACTIVE INGREDIENT GENISTEIN
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Exposure to radiation is increasingly becoming a worldwide health issue. Because of this, the need for effective radioprotectors is critical. This need is not met by amifostine, the current "gold standard" in radioprotectors, ...
Secondary Electron Emission Yields from Fast Fluorine Ions on Copper and Amorphous Solid Water Foils
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The biological outcomes from charged particle radiation exposure are heavily influenced by the spatial patterns of energy distributed within the biological system. Monte Carlo track structure codes can be used to model ...
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 ...
Memory of Germinant Stimuli in Bacterial Spores
(2015-11)
Bacterial spores, despite being metabolically dormant, possess the remarkable capacity to detect nutrients and other molecules in their environment through a biochemical sensory apparatus that can trigger spore germination, ...
Label-free classification of cultured cells through diffraction imaging
(2011-05)
Automated classification of biological cells according to their 3D morphology is highly desired in a flow cytometer setting. We have investigated this possibility experimentally and numerically using a diffraction imaging ...
In Vivo Blood Glucose Quantification Using Raman Spectroscopy
(2012)
We here propose a novel Raman spectroscopy method that permits the noninvasive measurement of blood glucose concentration. To reduce the effects of the strong background signals produced by surrounding tissue and to obtain ...
