The goal of our study is to develop nanosensors to detect pre-cancerous changes in the breast and figure out which pre-cancerous breast changes have the highest chance of progressing to become invasive breast cancer. In particular, we are developing targeted nanobiosensors to test real-time protein phosphorylation signaling in live RPFNA cells. In this study, we have designed fiber-optic nanoprobes for optical detection in single living cells. The nanoprobes were fabricated ...
THE PERMEATION CHARACTERISTICS OF ELEVEN PETROLEUM, COAL, AND SHALE OIL HYDROCARBON LIQUIDS THROUGH EIGHT DIFFERENT TYPES OF GLOVE WERE MEASURED OVER 24 HOURS. TWO ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES, PHOTOIONIZATION AND ROOM TEMPERATURE PHOSPHORESCENCE OF POLYNUCLEAR AROMATIC COMPOUNDS, WERE USED TO MEASURE BREAKTHROUGH TIMES BY VOLATILE AND LOW-VOLATILITY CONSTITUENTS, RESPECTIVELY. SERIOUS DRAWBACKS TO THE GENERAL USE OF THESE TECHNIQUES FOR MEASURING STEADY-STATE RATES OF PERMEATION WERE NOTED. THE LIGHTER, SMALLER MOLECULAR-SIZE CONSTITUENTS PERMEATED ...
