Innovations in Test Phantom Metrology for Ultrasonic Imaging in relation to Medical Imaging, Biometric Characterization, and 3-Dimensional Microfluidic Applications
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
This dissertation discusses the design, fabrication, and testing of a series of test phantoms for the testing and validation of a series of applications. These test phantoms focused on the replications of key physiological ...
System Identification of Electrode-Skin Interface for Flexible PDMS Electrodes and Microelectrode Arrays
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
The objective of this research is to perform transfer function modeling of the electrode - skin interface using System Identification Toolbox (MathWorks, Inc. USA). This computational modeling is essential for developing ...
Physicomechanical Response of Ionic Polyurethanes on Endothelial Cells
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Segmental polyurethanes (PUs) are well-characterized elastomeric biomaterials that are used in vascular graft applications. PU properties can be engineered by tuning their segmental composition and by regulating inter-segmental ...
Development of Photoacoustic Imaging Technologies for Biomedical Applications
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging modality based on the acoustic detection of optical absorption. Since acoustic scattering in tissue is much less than that of light, the conversion of light absorption into sound ...
Eye Level wearable light sensing device
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
Circadian Rhythms are the 24-hour internal biological clock of the human body. It controls the sleep-wake cycle and many other processes of the body. The circadian rhythm has been found to be light dependent and can shift ...
EMG BASED SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM ANALYSIS OF MUSCLE FATIGUE DERIVED FROM AN ENDURANCE BASED EXERCISE REGIMEN
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
The human muscular system is complex and multi-functional. Injuries to muscles or their neuromuscular controllers can result in impairment of various functions of the body,especially locomotion. Recovery from these injuries ...
Development and Applications of Porphyrin-Phospholipid Liposomes
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
Small-molecule cancer therapeutics have traditionally had limited selectivity between targeted tumor cells and tissue, and healthy non-target tissues, often leading to significant side effects limiting the efficacy of the ...
Quantifying Muscle Fatigue For Hypertrophy Based Exercise Using A Time Constant
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
Muscle fatigue is the main reason that affects different types of movement applications such as in post-stroke therapy to exercise. Fatigue limits movement, impedes functionality in the limbs and is manifested as weakness ...
A Nanoliposomal Adjuvant Containing Cobalt-Porphyrin Phospholipids For Anthrax Protective Antigen
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
The application of only FDA-licensed human anthrax vaccine BioThrax is limited due to it requires five-immunization series over 18 months to induce protective immune response and annually booster to maintain immunity; In ...
CHEMICAL-FREE METAL–PDMS THERMAL BONDING IN FLEXIBLE ELECTRODE FABRICATION
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
The objective of this research is to introduce a chemical-free metal Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) thermal bonding (CFMPTB) in the flexible electrode fabrication by transferring metal onto a PDMS substrate. PDMS is an excellent ...
