Role of Blood Cytokine Levels and Adiposity in Myocardial Infarction Recurrence
(2018-05)
Risk factors for myocardial infarction (MI) are important as cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death. In fact, approximately one third of adults having an MI will have another in six years. The purpose of this ...
Realistic optical cell modeling and diffraction imaging simulation for study of optical and morphological parameters of nucleus
(2016-01)
Coherent light scattering presents complex spatial patterns that depend on morphological and molecular features of biological cells. We present a numerical approach to establish realistic optical cell models for generating ...
A solution method determining the effect of spin upon gravitational effects in the surroundings of a black hole
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-12)
Using the theory of General Relativity and quasi-normal modes (QNMs) from the Teukolsky equation as a source of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) from black holes provides information about black hole mass and spin. This ...
Fast Carbon-Ion and Proton Induced Electron Emission from Condensed-Phase Biological Targets
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-23)
Fast charged particles interact with matter through various ionization and excitation pathways that aren't fully understood. Predicting the effects of these interactions is vital in many fields such as radiation therapy, ...
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 ...
