A Collaboration between UTA and the Urban Inter-Tribal Center of Texas: Assessing the needs of the American Indian Population in Texas - Phase I
(The University of Texas Arlington, 2017)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Seventy-eight percent of all American Indians now live in cities, rather than on reservations. The Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area illustrates this history of ...
Dual-Drug Containing Core-Shell Nanoparticles for Lung Cancer Therapy
(Nature, 16 October)
Late-stage diagnosis of lung cancer occurs ~95% of the time due to late manifestation of its symptoms, necessitating rigorous treatment following diagnosis. Existing treatment methods are limited by lack of specificity, ...
The Mechanisms and Biomedical Applications of an NIR BODIPY-Based Switchable Fluorescent Probe
(MDPI, 11 Februar)
Highly environment-sensitive fluorophores have been desired for many biomedical applications. Because of the noninvasive operation, high sensitivity, and high specificity to the microenvironment change, they can be used ...
Lung protection by inhalation of exogenous solubilized extracellular matrix
(PLoS ONE, 2017-02-02)
Decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) contains complex tissue-specific components that
work in concert to promote tissue repair and constructive remodeling and has been used
experimentally and clinically to accelerate ...
Interplay between up-regulation of cytochrome-c-oxidase and hemoglobin oxygenation induced by near-infrared laser
(Nature, 2016-08-03)
Photobiomodulation, also known as low-level laser/light therapy (LLLT), refers to the use of red-tonear-infrared light to stimulate cellular functions for physiological or clinical benefits. The mechanism
of LLLT is assumed ...
A Dual-Modality System for Both Multi-Color Ultrasound-Switchable Fluorescence and Ultrasound Imaging
(MDPI, 4 February)
Simultaneous imaging of multiple targets (SIMT) in opaque biological tissues is an important goal for molecular imaging in the future. Multi-color fluorescence imaging in deep tissues is a promising technology to reach ...
Optical Refractive Index Sensing Based on High-Q Bound States in the Continuum in Free-Space Coupled Photonic Crystal Slabs
(MDPI, 2017-08-11)
High sensitivity (S) and high quality factor (Q) are desirable to achieve low detection limit in label-free optical sensors. In this paper, we theoretically demonstrate that single-layer and coupled bi-layer photonic crystal ...
ENERGY AND WATER IMPACTS OF DATA CENTER COOLING SYSTEMS: A TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE ASSESSMENT FOR FACILITY DESIGN
(2015-12-10)
Increasingly, society is being transferred to a dependence upon electronic technologies and networked systems, usually accessed via the internet. Physically, these systems reside within clusters of servers and storage ...
An optical probe for detecting chondrocyte apoptosis in response to mechanical injury
(Springer Nature, 07 Septemb)
Cartilage injury induced by acute excessive contact stress is common and mostly affects young adult. Although early detection of cartilage injury may prevent serious and lifelong arthritic complications, early detection ...
Closing The Gap In Higher Education: African American Male College Students Perceptions Of Advising At A Two Year College
(Urban & Public Affairs, 2011-07-14)
The attrition of minority students is fast becoming a salient issue in higher education. Academic advising has long been viewed as a determinant of participation, persistence and success. Persistence focuses on retention. ...
