Development of a Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) Model for Propagation of Transient Sounds in Very Shallow Water
(2013-08-12)
We developed a finite difference time domain (FDTD) model for sound propagation using pressure and velocity grids with both three-dimensional Cartesian and two-dimensional cylindrical implementations. Propagation parameters, ...
Kinetics of Germination of Individual Spores of as Measured by Raman Spectroscopy and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
(2013)
Geobacillus stearothermophilus is a gram-positive, thermophilic bacterium, spores of which are very heat resistant. Raman spectroscopy and differential interference contrast microscopy were used to monitor the kinetics of ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
