Resolving power of diffraction imaging with an objective: a numerical study
(2017-05)
Diffraction imaging in the far-field can detect 3D morphological features of an object for its coherent nature. We describe methods for accurate calculation and analysis of diffraction images of scatterers of single and ...
MODIFICATION OF CELL SURVIVAL RATES BY CERIUM OXIDE NANOPARTICLES FOR EXPOSURE TO PROTON RADIATION
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)
Radiation therapy is a well-established and widely used treatment for a variety of malignancies in the human body. Current radiotherapy methods most frequently use x-rays to deliver a lethal dose to tumors with sufficient ...
Protection and Sensitization of Human Cells to Proton Radiation by Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-17)
In radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer, there is demand for novel approaches that will improve tumor cell killing while protecting healthy tissue. One such approach that has shown considerable promise is the ...
Biophysical Mechanisms Mediating Fibrin Fiber Lysis
(2017-05-28)
The formation and dissolution of blood clots is both a biochemical and a biomechanical process. While much of the chemistry has been worked out for both processes, the influence of biophysical properties is less well ...
Quantitative analysis and comparison of 3D morphology between viable and apoptotic MCF-7 breast cancer cells and characterization of nuclear fragmentation
(2017-09-08)
Morphological changes in apoptotic cells provide essential markers for defining and detection
of apoptosis as a fundamental mechanism of cell death. Among these changes, the
nuclear fragmentation and condensation have ...
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. ...
