Dynamics of Gas Exchange through the Fractal Architecture of the Human Lung, Modeled as an Exactly Solvable Hierarchical Tree [abstract]
(The Body Project, 2008)
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 ...
Output Power Enhancement of GaN Light Emitting Diodes with p-type ZnO Hole Injection Layer [abstract]
(2009)
The efficiency for LED lamps designed for replacement of incandescent bulbs for use in general home and commercial illumination has been steadily increasing, with an accompanying decrease cost in $/lumen. These LED lamps ...
Characterizations of Semiconductor Photodetectors for UV Detection [abstract]
(2009)
Wide band-gap semiconductors have shown great potential in UV light detection as modern optoelectronic devices. During the past decade, wide-bandgap GaN and AlGaN photodetectors have been developed and their UV characterizations ...
Quantum energy levels of hydrogen adsorbed on nanoporous carbons: an intrinsic probe for pore structure, and improving Monte Carlo simulations of adsorption [abstract]
(2009)
Hydrogen is the lightest molecule in nature, making both rotational and translational degrees of freedom eminently quantum mechanical (especially at low temperatures). For isolated molecules the first excited (degenerate) ...
Structural and energetic factors in designing a perfect nano-porous sorbent for hydrogen storage [abstract]
(2009)
Carbons are one of several promising groups of materials for hydrogen storage by adsorption. However, the heat of hydrogen physisorption in such materials is low, in the range of about 4-8 kJ/mol which limits the total ...
Comparative oncology and clinical translation of glyco protein conjugated gold nano therapeutic agent (GA-198AuNP) [abstract]
(2010)
As part of our efforts toward clinical translation of GA-198AuNP, our studies are focused on therapeutic efficacy of nanoparticulate GA198AuNP agent in dogs with prostatic carcinoma. The overall goal is to gain clinical ...
Development of Absorption and Fluorescence Probes Based on Mouse Model for Molecular Optical Imaging [abstract]
(2010)
In this work we summarize our collaborative research on a project to develop absorption and fluorescence targeting probes. Several groups from University of Missouri and Harry S. Truman Memorial Veteran's Hospital including ...
Early Breast Cancer Detection Using Fluorescence Mediated Tomographic Imaging [abstract]
(2010)
Development of reliable technologies for early detection and screening of breast cancer is significant since the overall accuracy of traditional mammography remains low for diagnosis of benign and malignant lesions. In ...
Glass is a viable substrate for atomic force microscopy of membrane proteins : [abstract]
(2014)
Abstract in program book: Since its invention in the mid-1980s, the atomic force microscope (AFM) has become an invaluable complementary tool for studying membrane proteins in near-native environments. Historically, mica ...
Glass : a multi-platform specimen supporting substrate for precision single molecule studies of membrane proteins : [abstract]
(2015)
Abstract in program book: High resolution (~ 1 nm lateral resolution) biological AFM imaging has been carried out almost exclusively using freshly cleaved mica as a specimen supporting surface, but mica suffers from a ...
Glass is a viable substrate for atomic force microscopy of membrane proteins : abstract submitted for the PSF13 Meeting of the American Physical Society
(2013)
Abstract submitted for the PSF13 Meeting of The American Physical Society: Since its invention in the mid-1980s, the atomic force microscope (AFM) has become an invaluable complementary tool for studying membrane proteins ...
