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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
FETUS PHANTOM CONSTRUCTIONS FOR OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE PREGNANT FEMALES FOR RADIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS
(East Carolina University, 2019-06-07)
Radiation exposure and associated radiation risks are major concerns for fetal development for pregnant patients in general, and in particular for overweight and obese pregnant patients who undergo diagnostic imaging or ...
Generation of Pseudo-CT using Two Sets of MRI Scans for MRI-only Radiation Therapy
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-16)
WWith increasing interests in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-only radiation therapy (RT) and the emergence of MRI system integrated with the linear accelerator, a method substituting the computed tomography (CT) in ...
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, ...
Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Prostate Radiotherapy for Improved Treatment Outcomes
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-01)
External beam radiation therapy is among the most common modalities of curative treatment for prostate cancer and has evolved substantially with the inclusion of multimodality imaging in treatment planning. It has been ...
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, ...
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 ...
Flow cytometer apparatus for three dimensional difraction imaging and related methods
(2015-04-21)
A flow cytometer assembly includes a fluid controller configured to form a hydrodynamically focused flow stream including an outer sheath fluid and an inner core fluid. A coherent light source is configured to illuminate ...
