• Frequency domain fluorescent molecular tomography and molecular probes for small animal imaging 

    Kujala, Naresh Gandhi, 1975- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
    In this thesis, we have developed a frequency domain fluorescent molecular tomographic system based on the heterodyne technique using a single source and detector pair for small animal imaging. In our system, the intensity ...
  • Gas sorption in engineered carbon nanospaces 

    Burress, Jacob W., 1983- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
    Vehicular storage of gaseous fuels is a key enabling technology for the two pillars of a non-petroleum based transportation economy natural-gas vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. My research focuses on the development ...
  • Hierarchical model of gas exchange within the acinar airways of the human lung 

    Mayo, Michael Louis, 1979- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
    The acinar airways lie at the periphery of the human lung and are responsible for the transfer of oxygen from air to the blood during respiration. This transfer occurs by the diffusion-reaction of oxygen over the irregular ...
