A ratiometric fluorometer for reduced sensitivity against solvent artifacts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] When measuring fluorescence emission intensity, both the dye concentration and the optical absorption properties of the solvent influence the measured intensity. As a consequence...
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 ...
Flourescent molecular rotors as mechanosensors in biofluids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Many disease states have associated blood viscosity changes. Molecular rotors, fluorescent molecules with viscosity sensitive quantum yields, have recently been investigated as a new method for biofluid viscosity measurement. ...
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 ...
