Design and characterization of a hand-held, waveguide-mediated, optoacoustic imaging probe for analyzing burn wounds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Clinicians correctly diagnose only [about]66% of burn wounds, which may be in part due to the qualitative methods commonly employed for burn assessment. This often results in over diagnoses, which may lead to unnecessary ... -
I. Patterning of silicalite-1 films using CO2 laser ablation. II. Impact of deposition and laser densification of silicalite-1 films on their optical characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Nanostructured materials represent an intriguing foundation on which to build new devices for applications in electronics, photonics, energy storage, and biological/chemical analysis. The standard methods used to pattern ... -
Integrating nanostructured artificial receptors with whispering gallery mode optical microresonators via inorganic molecular imprinting techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The creation of label-free biosensors capable of accurately detecting trace contaminants, particularly small organic molecules, is of significant interest for applications in environmental monitoring. This is achieved by ... -
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 ... -
Porous silicates for applications in smart water treatment systems and antimicrobial biomedical coatings
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Porous silicates, particularly ordered ones, may find novel and wide-ranging applications in the bioengineering arena in the near future. For instance, ...
