Assessing the Impacts of Silver Nanoparticles on the Growth, Diversity, and Function of Wastewater Bacteria

Arnaout, Christina Lee (2012)

<p>Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are increasingly being integrated into a wide range of consumer products, such as air filters, washing machines, and textiles, due to their antimicrobial properties [1]. However, despite the ...
Deposition of Nano-scale Particles in Aqueous Environments --Influence of Particle Size, Surface Coating, and Aggregation State

Lin, Shihong (2012)

<p>This work considers the transport and attachment of nanoscale particles to surfaces and the associated phenomena that dictate particle-surface interactions. A consideration of the deposition of nano-scale particles on ...
Drug Delivery and Anti-Vascular Effects of Temperature Sensitive Liposomal Doxorubicin

Manzoor, Ashley Anne (2010)

<p>Traditionally, the goal of nanoparticle-based chemotherapy has been to decrease normal tissue toxicity by improving drug specificity to tumor. Relying on the EPR effect (Enhanced Permeability and Retention), a host of ...
Novel Nonlinear Microscopy Techniques Based on Femtosecond Laser Pulse Shaping and Their Applications

Li, Baolei (2013)

<p>Nonlinear optical microscopy serves as a great tool for biomedical imaging due to its high resolution, deep penetration, inherent three dimensional optical sectioning capabilities and superior performance in scattering ...
