(2022-05-16)Department: ChemistryChirality permeates through modern science, from the spin of elementary particles to mechanisms underlying biological life processes. The amino acids and sugars from which proteins and nucleic acids are built exhibit ...
-
(2012-02-28)Department: Biomedical EngineeringRaman spectroscopy is an extremely sensitive technique that has been used by many research groups to differentiate between normal and abnormal changes in biological samples. Previous results have shown that when Raman ...
-
(2019-01-21)Department: Biomedical EngineeringOphthalmic surgery involves manipulation of layered tissue structures on milli- to micrometer scales. Traditional surgical microscopes provide a two-dimensional view of the surgical field with limited depth perception which ...

In Vivo Raman Spectroscopic Analysis of HSP70 and Laser Preconditioning in Murine Incisional Wounds (2010-04-16)Department: Biomedical EngineeringLaser preconditioning augments incisional wound healing by reducing scar tissue and increasing maximum tensile load of the healed wound. Under the hypothesis that HSP70 plays an active role in reported results and to better ...

(2014-07-25)Department: ChemistryPhotosystem I is a photoactive membrane protein found in higher plants, some algae, and cyanobacteria. It is part of the solar energy conversion mechanism that fuels most life on the planet. It has been shown that photocurrents ...

(2014-12-30)Department: PhysicsIn the era of large-scale surveys for exoplanets, it is important to be aware of the pernicious false positives that can contaminate survey samples. In this dissertation, it is shown that all radial velocity surveys for ...

(2006-12-13)Department: Biomedical EngineeringCurrent brain tumor localization methods demonstrate limited ability to discriminate between normal brain and infiltrating tumor margins, resulting in complete tumor resection in less than 20% of glioma patients. Combined ...
-
(2013-04-09)Department: PhysicsExperiments measuring the energy and coincidences associated with gamma rays from nuclei produced in fission have been performed. These experiments probed the physics of deformation as infered from nuclear spectroscopy. ...

(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)Due to the complex nature of the spectra of low-mass M type stars, it is difficult to determine their metallicities and temperatures directly. By studying eclipsing binary pairs comprising one F, G, or K type star with ...
-
(2018-01-26)Department: Biomedical EngineeringSoft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a rare and heterogeneous form of malignant tumors that arise from mesenchymal progenitors and are primarily treated through surgical resection and radiation. A positive surgical margin is the ...
-
(2015-04-09)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials SciencePhosphors have been used for radiation detection before, but only for non-ionizing radiation. In fact, many phosphors are designed to be radiation-resistant so they can be used long-term and in harsh environments unaffected. ...

(2014-11-25)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials ScienceThree previously unreported photo-carrier relaxation pathways are presented and discussed in GaAs-based systems. In bulk GaAs, a transient bleach of the spin-split exciton transition 1s->2p is reported following photo-excitation ...
