Ratiometric techniques to determine fluid viscosity using molecular rotors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Molecular rotors exhibit viscosity-dependent quantum yield, potentially allowing measurements of fluid viscosity in non-mechanical manner. Several diseases are accompanied by blood plasma viscosity changes; therefore, a ...
CCVJ's fluorescence lifetime as a viscosity measurement tool and its possible application as a tunable picoseconds reference lifetime standard
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
9-(2-carboxy-2-cyanovinyl) julolidine (CCVJ, a molecular rotor) was shown to perform as a viscosity sensitive probe. Using steady state spectroscopy, CCVJ was shown to have decreased emission intensity as the environmental ...
Development of high-resolution optical tomography with a larger-size projection acquisition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
In the industrial countries, the mortality from arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases has been decreased, but they remain the most common circulatory disease. Recently, new tissue engineering technologies such as ...
Characterization of membrane viscosity changes with the novel molecular rotor FCVJ
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Membrane viscosity can be defined as the "thickness" of a cell membrane. Membrane viscosity conditions are a useful indicator of cell health. Many diseases have been reported to induce changes in afflicted cell membrane ...
