CardiacAR: Mobile Augmented Reality for Cardiovascular Surgical Planning
Advanced surgical procedures for congenital heart diseases (CHDs) require precise planning before the surgeries. The conventional approach for planning complex cardiovascular surgeries involves extracting the patients’ ... -
Carrier protein and halogenase selectivity in the biosynthesis of halogenated pyrroles
Natural product biosynthetic pathways often share similar architecture even when they lead to different final products. In polyketide synthase (PKS) and non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) enzymatic pathways, the ... -
Catalytic abilities of the Schistosoma mansoni hammerhead ribozyme with mutated substrates in ice
The synthesis of biomolecules in an environment similar to a pre-biotic Earth within the field of evolutionary chemistry has applications in understanding abiogenesis and the evolution of early biological systems on Earth. ... -
CATIONIC BOVINE SERUM ALBUMIN NANOPARTICLES FOR DELIVERY OF SIRNA TO FIBROBLASTS
Gene regulation through small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a useful way to improve therapeutics and treat diseases. However, since siRNA is rapidly degraded by nucleases in the bloodstream and is anionic and highly hydrophilic, ... -
CCSP 2.0: An Open-Source Jupyter Tool for the Prediction of Ion Mobility Collison Cross Sections in Metabolomics
Tandem mass spectrometric methods revolutionized the chemical identification landscape, allowing serums and molecules to be separated in two or more dimensions. Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry workflows combined with liquid ... -
Cellular baseband security
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-05-07)Memory corruption vulnerabilities have been exploited by attackers to com- promise systems for years. Traditional computing systems have had years of defenses developed for them such as ASLR and DEP. However, these ... -
Cellular Characterization of Microvascular Fragments and Stromal Vascular Fraction for the Treatment of Composite Bone-Muscle Defects
The current treatment for critical-sized boned defects, bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) loaded collagen sponge grafting, is often inadequate for composite bone-muscle defects, which heal more slowly with higher rates ... -
Cellular mechanisms of high-frequency alternating current block in peripheral nerves
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-01-28)High-frequency alternating currents (HFAC) can be applied to nerves to reversibly stop the conduction of signals in peripheral nerves. This can be useful in treating conditions such as chronic pain, inflammation, and ... -
Cellular Response to Surface Wettability Gradient on Microtextured Surfaces
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-12-16)Objective: Topography, chemistry, and energy of titanium (Ti) implants alter cell response through variations in protein adsorption, integrin expression, and downstream cell signaling. However, the contribution of surface ... -
Centralization of Muscular Control in Blaberus discoidalis as a Variable of Terrain Roughness
The purpose of this study was to illustrate how the neuromuscular architecture of Blaberus discoidalis cockroaches changes in response to variations in their environment. The species Blaberus discoidalis shares the single ... -
Chainsaw Before Scalpel: Dependency-Based Pre-processing for Program Reduction
Program reduction techniques, which aim to minimize the size of a program, have many applications, including software debloating, debugging, and optimization in general. Therefore, these techniques have been extensively ... -
Changes in Nutrient Dynamics in the Gulf of Mexico due to Increase in Mississippi River Flow
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-01-25)The Gulf of Mexico underwent multiple environmental changes in 2010 and 2011, including the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and a large in increase of freshwater input from the Mississippi River. Both of these events had the ... -
Changes in the Electromyographic Activity and Joint Moments due to the Self-reinnervation of the Lateral Gastrocnemius and Soleus Muscles
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-04-29)Peripheral nerve injuries can cause serious health problems and result in lifelong disabilities. Although researchers have been studying peripheral nerve injuries, patients may not regain complete function of their muscles ... -
Character Eyes: Seeing Language through Character-Level Taggers
Character-level models have been used extensively in recent years in NLP tasks as both supplements and replacements for closed-vocabulary token-level word representations. In one popular architecture, character-level RNNs, ... -
Characteristic Neural Firing Profiles in Different Hippocampal Subfields for Successful and Unsuccessful Memory
Memory is our ability to encode, store, retrain, and subsequently recall information and past experiences. Different areas of the brain are responsible for different aspects of memory, including the hippocampus which enables ... -
Characterization and isolation of a rotifer-deterrent compound in the red tide dinoflagellate Karenia brevis
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-12)Spontaneous phytoplankton blooms cause extensive damage to aquatic ecosystems all over the world. Red Tide, a type of bloom, causes extensive damage in the Gulf of Mexico every year. Red tide is caused by Karenia brevis, ... -
Characterization of Electrodes for Kilohertz Electrical Stimulation
Kilohertz electrical stimulation (KES) induces repeatable and reversible conduction block of nerve activity and is a potential therapeutic option for various diseases and disorders resulting from pathological or undesired ... -
Characterization of Primary Rat Astrocytes: a Step Towards Optic Nerve Head on a Chip
The mechanism by which elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) increases risk of glaucoma remains unknown. A proposed pathway suggests astrocytes sense optic nerve head (ONH) deformation due to increased IOP, triggering their ... -
Characterization of Rat Optic Nerve Head (ONH) Biomechanics through Finite Element (FE) and Sensitivity Analysis of Tissues
ONH pathophysiology in glaucoma is poorly understood. However, the rat model of glaucoma is especially useful for learning how complex optic ONH biomechanics affect glaucomatous cell death. Because of human and rat ONH ... -
Characterization of supramolecular polymer systems composed of prebiotically plausible recognition units
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-05-02)Supramolecular polymers have a practical impact on the healthcare field as they can act as scaffolds to repair parts of organs such as the brain or heart. In addition, they can provide insight into theories relating to the ...
