Developing advanced techniques for denoising Low-dose CT Images

Computed Tomography (CT) is one of the most widespread non-invasive imaging modalities in medical diagnostics. Recent concerns regarding radiation induced cancer, has drawn a lot of attention to reduce the radiation dose used during CT scanning. However, the signal to noise ratio of scans taken at lower radiation dose is considerably lower than at higher […]

The Literary Economy of Migration in Postcolonial E-fraud Literature

The project examines internet fraud as a practice engaged in by individuals who are economically disadvantaged, are unable to find regular jobs, and are not able to migrate to developed countries where work might be found, often because of border restrictions that exclude them. It proposes to study how literary writers have been thinking about […]

Development of an isobar separator for anions for accelerator mass spectrometry

Accelerator Mass Spectrometry is a highly sensitive technique for measuring the concentration of certain long-lived isotopes, such as carbon-14. Recently, the use of an ion-gas reaction cell before the accelerator has been shown to enhance this sensitivity, particularly for smaller accelerators, and to extend the application of this technique to more isotopes. Isobarex Corporation has […]

Spiridon Technologies Internship

The technology landscape has changed as a result on the ongoing pandemic. Spiridon must analyze the current market to determine whether acquisition opportunities exist and must evaluate the performance of previous acquisition targets. The overall goal of redefining Spiridon’s strategy for business acquisition will be accomplished in two steps. The first step revolves around the […]

Reactive extrusion process development for silane modified EPDM

Most rubber products require curing that involves either sulfur or peroxide curing and other ingredients such as accelerators, antioxidants, antiozonants, and heavy metal oxides. Some of these ingredients, either individually or in combination, generate environmental pollutant and hazardous gases and fumes during rubber processing or storage. Thus, there is a continuous need by the rubber […]

Rare-earth element doping of dielectric thin films using ion implantation

The requirement for online communication continues to grow exponentially, primarily a result of the increased demand for information sharing bandwidth. This demand is driven by video-over-internet applications used for both entertainment, and conferencing (felt most recently in the need for remote working during the COVID-19 pandemic). Integrated optical components fabricated in silicon are receiving particular […]

Identification and assessment of bioactive yeast strains and cell wall components

Since yeast probiotics and their cell wall components (CWC) are being used to treat enteric inflammatory diseases in different species including humans, they may be useful for preventing Johne’s disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease of ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium spp. paratuberculosis (MAP). Considerable variation in the efficacy of different yeast probiotics and their […]

Point-of-care breath analyzer for early-stage disease diagnosis

As the third documented emergence of an animal-to-human coronavirus during the past two decades (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in 2002, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome in 2012), the current pandemic and near-certainty of future epidemics demands intensified surveillance and proactive screening. Definitive therapy for novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is likely at least half a year […]

Microfluidic Hydrogel-based Biomolecule Detection Through Novel Advection Transport

Healthcare requires the early and accurate detection of disease indicators, be they small biomolecules or viruses, which is vital for successful treatments, preventative medicine and disease prevention. Improving turnaround times for early and accurate detection will improve patient care, enable the mass screening of large populations during outbreaks and effectively reduce the diagnostic burden. We […]
