Imaging 3D tissue fiber organization using optical polarization tractography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Optical polarization tractography (OPT) is a new imaging technology developed based on an advanced Jones matrix implementation of polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PSOCT). OPT can acquire high-resolution, ...
Paraxial application of auxiliary devices with waveguide mediated laser irradiation for applications in medical biophotonics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Laser-based medical applications offer minimally-invasive alternatives to traditional procedures; however, the simplistic method of open-air laser transmission poses ocular hazards and negative side effects, along with a ...
A continuous-wave-based acoustic method to measure viscoelastic properties of materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Typical viscoelastic materials do not have a flat frequency response to mechanical vibrations. Viscoelastic property evaluations with a multi-frequency ...
Nanocellulose extraction and surface modification toward active packaging applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have attracted growing interest as a renewable nanomaterial. The main objective of this study was to explore the extraction of CNCs from switchgrass and surface modification of CNCs into ...
Natural and synthetic materials for the regeneration of osseous tissue
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Bone is a complex tissue with many regulation mechanisms which can be taken advantage of through the release of simple signaling molecules delivered via a biodegradable material like a hydrogel. Hydrogels are water swollen ...
Modeling and optimization of the Mannheimia haemolytica vaccine production process
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Leukotoxin (Lkt) from Mannheimia haemolytica has been discovered as the primary pathogenic factor for bovine respiratory disease (BRD), causing huge ...
Clinical translation of nanomaterials for early detection of genetic abnormalities in fetus and retinopathy in neonates and adults
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Nuclear medicine covers a wide variety of radionuclides to meet demands of disease. In the current study, first we have looked at the application of mono-amine mono-amide ligands for Re(V), 99mTc(V), and 186Re(V) with ...
Rapid detection and characterization of mycobacteria using microchannel electrical impedance spectroscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
The presence of virulent, pathogenic bacteria in our body, food, water and other consumables is harmful and causes enormous economic and personal losses. Here we will be looking at developing a platform technology that can ...
Development of a multispectral sensor for crop canopy temperature measurement
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
The Multispectral System for Imaging of a Crop Canopy (MSICC) that combines a miniature long wavelength infrared (LWIR) camera with a visible camera was developed to capture a field of view and derive a plant specific ...
