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 ...
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 ...
