Development of a Diffraction Imaging Flow Cytometer for Study of Biological Cells
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Visible light interacts with biological cells primarily through elastic scattering. With coherent excitation the scattered light is coherent as well and contains much information about the cells morphology but with the ...
THE DESCRIPTION OF SCHUMANN ELECTROMAGNETIC RESONANCES BETWEEN EARTH AND ITS IONOSPHERE AS BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATES OF EXTREMELY LOW FREQUENCY PHOTONS
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The purpose of this thesis is to show that Schumann resonances between Earth and its ionosphere are Bose-Einstein condensates of extremely low frequency photons. We will show that the photon densities of the first five ...
Ion Traffic Across Cellular Membranes
(East Carolina University, 2010)
The cell membrane protects the delicate internal machinery of the cell and hosts a complex transport system for ion exchange with the environment. Energy is continually expended to maintain a transmembrane electrical ...
Analysis of Circular Dichroism and Linear Dichroism Spectroscopy
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Circular Dichroism (CD) and Linear Dichroism (LD) spectroscopies measure the difference in absorption between left and right circularly polarized light and parallel and perpendicular linearly polarized light as a function ...
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF TWO HUMAN CANCER CELL LINES FOLLOWING EXPOSURE TO LOW DOSE RADIATION
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Over the past two decades, studies on the cellular response to very low dose radiation have been revolutionizing historically-held paradigms of cellular radioresponse. Indeed, a host of seemingly contradictory events have ...
Mathematical Modeling of Oxygen Transport, Cell Killing and Cell Decision Making in Photodynamic Therapy of Cancer
(East Carolina University, 2012)
In this study we present a model of in vitro cell killing through type II Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for simulation of the molecular interactions leading to cell death in time domain in the presence of oxygen transport ...
Considering the Oxygen Effect : Further Development of a Volumetric Model of Tumor Response to Radiation Therapy for Cervical Cancer
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Mathematical modeling of tumor response to radiation therapy (RT) has great potential for designing therapy plans that are more personalized, more adaptive, and more reliable for outcome predictions. A preexisting model ...
VIABILITY OF CERIUM OXIDE NANOPARTICLES AS A RADIOPROTECTOR AGAINST PROTON RADIATION FOR NON-MALIGNANT CELLS
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Radiation therapy is a prevalent cancer treatment therapy. The goal is to kill all tumor cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells and new methods that can accomplish this goal are continually being investigated. ...
An Information-Theoretic Approach to Cellular Decision-Making Strategies: How Rate Distortion Theory Provides an Optimal Method for Describing Binary Cellular Decision-Making Systems
(2014)
Rate distortion theory, a branch of information theory, was originally developed to help improve the efficiency of data transmission in telecommunications. It's currently being used as a major modeling method to provide ...
A NEW ELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY SYSTEM FOR MEASURING ELECTRON EMISSION FROM FAST ION INTERACTIONS WITH ATOMIC, MOLECULAR, AND CONDENSED PHASE TARGETS
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)
A new electron spectroscopy system has been developed for measuring electron emission from gas and solid targets induced by fast ion impact. This system uses an ultrahigh-vacuum compatible cylindrical deflector analyzer, ...
