Thermosensitive Magnetic Nanoparticles For Self-Controlled Hyperthermia Cancer Treatment, Karen S. Martirosyan Jan 2012

Thermosensitive Magnetic Nanoparticles For Self-Controlled Hyperthermia Cancer Treatment, Karen S. Martirosyan

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

Magnetic nanoparticles show remarkable phenomena such as superparamagnetism, high field irreversibility and high saturation magnetization [1]. The study of magnetic nanoparticles has been a very active research field due to many important applications such as drug delivery, imaging and hyperthermia cancer treatment [2]. Hyperthermia has been used for many years to treat a wide variety of tumors in patients and used as well as an adjunct to cancer radiotherapy or chemotherapy [3,4]. Its use is based on the fact that tumor cells are more sensitive to temperature in the range of 42–45°C (which yields necrosis, coagulation, or carbonization) than normal …

2.1Μm Emission Spectral Properties Of Tm And Ho Doped Transparent Yag Ceramic, G. A. Kumar, Madhab Pokhrel Jan 2012

2.1Μm Emission Spectral Properties Of Tm And Ho Doped Transparent Yag Ceramic, G. A. Kumar, Madhab Pokhrel

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

Highly transparent Tm:Ho:YAG transparent ceramics were prepared using advanced ceramic technology and their spectroscopic properties were studied for infrared laser applications. Following the Judd-Ofelt procedure several spectroscopic properties such as the radiative transition probability (Arad), radiative decay time (τrad) and fluorescence branching ratio (β) are quantitatively obtained from the absorption spectrum. The absorption and emission cross sections corresponding to the 5I7 → 5I8 transition of Ho3+ at 2.1 μm have been evaluated following Mc Cumber theory and found that the obtained emission spectrum very well correlates to the simulated emission spectral data. The optical gain spectrum spread …

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries using LIGO and Virgo observations between July 7, 2009, and October 20, 2010. We searched for signals from binaries with total mass between 2 and 25M⊙; this includes binary neutron stars, binary black holes, and binaries consisting of a black hole and neutron star. The detectors were sensitive to systems up to 40 Mpc distant for binary neutron stars, and further for higher mass systems. No gravitational-wave signals were detected. We report upper limits on the rate of compact binary coalescence as a function of total mass, including …

Tackling Gravity Wave Confusion Noise With Template Optimizers, A. S. Stroeer, Matthew Benacquista Jan 2012

Tackling Gravity Wave Confusion Noise With Template Optimizers, A. S. Stroeer, Matthew Benacquista

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

The Mock LISA Data Challenge 4.0 simulated the joint two-year recording of gravitational wave signals from mergers of spinning black holes, extreme mass ratio inspirals, Galactic white dwarf binaries, bursts from cosmic strings, and a stochastic background—all over LISA instrument noise. We analysed this data using a global multi-start box and bound optimization scheme, incorporating multi-dimensional Nelder Mead simplex 2 optimization. Our scheme identified 2658 binaries. Of these, 2246 were found to systematically decompose the power in a strong spinning black hole merger into a "white dwarf binary transform". The remaining 416 binaries were identified with a false alarm rate …

The Characterization Of Virgo Data And Its Impact On Gravitational-Wave Searches, J. Aasi, J. Abadie, Matthew Benacquista, G. Cagnoli, Teviet Creighton, Mario C. Diaz, Soma Mukherjee, Volker Quetschke, Malik Rakhmanov, Joseph D. Romano, Cristina V. Torres

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

Between 2007 and 2010 Virgo collected data in coincidence with the LIGO and GEO gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. These data have been searched for GWs emitted by cataclysmic phenomena in the universe, by non-axisymmetric rotating neutron stars or from a stochastic background in the frequency band of the detectors. The sensitivity of GW searches is limited by noise produced by the detector or its environment. It is therefore crucial to characterize the various noise sources in a GW detector. This paper reviews the Virgo detector noise sources, noise propagation, and conversion mechanisms which were identified in the three first Virgo observing …

Concurrent Chains Schedules As A Method To Study Choice Between Alcohol Associated Conditioned Reinforcers, Corina Jimenez-Gomez, Timothy A. Shahan Jan 2012

Concurrent Chains Schedules As A Method To Study Choice Between Alcohol Associated Conditioned Reinforcers, Corina Jimenez-Gomez, Timothy A. Shahan

Psychology Faculty Publications

An extensive body of research using concurrent-chains schedules of reinforcement has shown that choice for one of two differentially valued food-associated stimuli is dependent upon the overall temporal context in which those stimuli are embedded. The present experiments examined whether the concurrent chains procedure was useful for the study of behavior maintained by alcohol and alcohol-associated stimuli. In Experiment 1, rats responded on concurrent-chains schedules with equal variable-interval (VI) 10-s schedules in the initial links. Across conditions, fixed-interval schedules in the terminal links were varied to yield 1:1, 9:1, and 1:9 ratios of alcohol delivery. Initial-link response rates reflected changes …

Beam Dynamics Studies For Transverse Electromagnetic Mode Type Rf Deflectors, Shahid Ahmed, Geoffrey A. Krafft, Kirsten Deitrick, Subashini U. De Silva, Jean R. Delayen, Mike Spata, Michael Tiefenback, Alicia Hofler, Kevin Beard

Physics Faculty Publications

We have performed three-dimensional simulations of beam dynamics for transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM) type rf deflectors: normal and superconducting. The compact size of these cavities as compared to the conventional TM110 type structures is more attractive particularly at low frequency. Highly concentrated electromagnetic fields between the parallel bars provide strong electrical stability to the beam for any mechanical disturbance. An array of six 2-cell normal conducting cavities or a single cell superconducting structure is enough to produce the required vertical displacement at the target point. Both the normal and superconducting structures show very small emittance dilution due to the …

Four-Component Synthesis Of 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Derivatives From N-Isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane, Aromatic Carboxylic Acids, Aromatic Bis-Aldehydes, And Secondary Amines, Ali Ramazani, Zahra Karimi, Ali Souldozi, Yavar Ahmadi Jan 2012

Four-Component Synthesis Of 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Derivatives From N-Isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane, Aromatic Carboxylic Acids, Aromatic Bis-Aldehydes, And Secondary Amines, Ali Ramazani, Zahra Karimi, Ali Souldozi, Yavar Ahmadi

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The 1:1 iminium intermediate generated by the addition of a secondary amine to aromatic bis-aldehydes (isophthalaldehyde and terphthalaldehyde) is trapped by the N-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane in the presence of a aromatic carboxylic acid derivative, which leads to the formation of corresponding iminophosphorane intermediate. Then disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives are formed via intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction of the iminophosphorane intermediates. The reactions were completed in neutral conditions at room temperature and the corresponding disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were produced in excellent yields.

Simultaneous Determination Of Cr(Iii) And Cr(Vi) Using Differential Pulse Polarography And Application To Gerede River, Olcay Şendi̇l, Nabeel Mohammed, Güler Somer Jan 2012

Simultaneous Determination Of Cr(Iii) And Cr(Vi) Using Differential Pulse Polarography And Application To Gerede River, Olcay Şendi̇l, Nabeel Mohammed, Güler Somer

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Determination of Cr(III) in the presence of Cr(VI) from one polarogram is not easy. No such procedure was found in the literature. In polarographic studies Cr(III) had a peak only in acidic medium, while Cr(VI) had either 1 or 2 peaks in both acidic and basic solutions. In solutions that contain these 2 ions, the peak obtained in acidic medium for Cr(III) will be the sum of both ions. Thus, Cr(III) cannot be determined directly from one polarogram. In this work, a new and simple polarographic method is established for the determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) by using only one …

Organic And Composite Aerogels Through Ring Opening Metathesis Polymerization (Romp), Dhairyashil Mohite Jan 2012

Organic And Composite Aerogels Through Ring Opening Metathesis Polymerization (Romp), Dhairyashil Mohite

Doctoral Dissertations

"Aerogels are open-cell nanoporous materials, unique in terms of low density, low thermal conductivity, low dielectric constants and high acoustic attenuation. Those exceptional properties stem from their complex hierarchical solid framework (agglomerates of porous, fractal secondary nanoparticles), but they also come at a cost: low mechanical strength. This issue has been resolved by crosslinking silica aerogels with organic polymers. The crosslinking polymer has been assumed to form a conformal coating on the surface of the skeletal framework by covalent bridging elementary building blocks. However, "assuming" is not enough: for correlating nanostructure with bulk material properties, it is important to know …

A series of new 4-(3,4dimethoxyphenethyl)-3,5-akyl/aryl-4H- 1,2,4-triazoles (3a-g) were obtained by reaction of ethyl N'-(alkylidene/arylidene)hydrazonate (1) and 2-(3,4-dimethoxy phenyl)ethanamine (2). Compounds 4d, e, and g were synthesized from the reaction of corresponding compounds 3d, e, and g with BBr_3, respectively. The 10 new compounds synthesized were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, ^1H-NMR, and ^{13}C-NMR spectral data. The structure of compound 3g was inferred through IR, ^1H-, ^{13}C-NMR, elemental analyses, and X-ray spectral techniques. In addition, the newly synthesized chemicals were screened for their antioxidant properties. Among the chemicals tested, 4d, e, and g exhibited the highest degree of antioxidant activity.
