Journal of Biomechanical Engineering: Legacy Paper 2018
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Heating Protocol Design Affected by Nanoparticle Redistribution and Thermal Damage Model in Magnetic Nanoparticle Hyperthermia for Cancer Treatment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent micro-CT scans have demonstrated a much larger magnetic nanoparticle distribution volume in tumors after localized heating than those without heating, suggesting possible heating-induced nanoparticle migration. In ...
Investigation of Biotransport in a Tumor With Uncertain Material Properties Using a Nonintrusive Spectral Uncertainty Quantification Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, statistical models are developed for modeling uncertain heterogeneous permeability and porosity in tumors, and the resulting uncertainties in pressure and velocity fields during an intratumoral injection are ...
Nanoparticle Redistribution in PC3 Tumors Induced by Local Heating in Magnetic Nanoparticle Hyperthermia: In Vivo Experimental Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia, a required thermal dosage for tumor destruction greatly depends on nanoparticle distribution in tumors. The objective of this study is to conduct in vivo experiments to evaluate whether ...
Establishing the Need to Broaden Bioengineering Research Exposure and Research Participation in Mechanical Engineering and Its Positive Impacts on Student Recruitment, Diversification, Retention and Graduation: Findings From the UMBC ME S-STEM Scholarship
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the current status of exposure to bio-engineering research in community college (CC) students and University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) students, and to estimate ...
Evaluation of STEM Engagement Activities on the Attitudes and Perceptions of Mechanical Engineering S-STEM Scholars
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Since 2009, the mechanical engineering (ME) scholarship-science technology engineering and mathematics (S-STEM) Program at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) has provided financial support and program ...
Computational Simulation of Temperature Elevations in Tumors Using Monte Carlo Method and Comparison to Experimental Measurements in Laser Photothermal Therapy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurate simulation of temperature distribution in tumors induced by gold nanorods during laser photothermal therapy relies on precise measurements of thermal, optical, and physiological properties of the tumor with or ...
Camera Calibration Method Exploiting Reference Images and Roadway Information for Traffic Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A video-based traffic flow detection system requires calibration of cameras to generate accurate estimates of vehicle speed. Traditional manual calibration methods cannot satisfy this requirement because calibration has ...
Treatment Efficacy for Validating MicroCT-Based Theoretical Simulation Approach in Magnetic Nanoparticle Hyperthermia for Cancer Treatment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective is to validate a designed heating protocol in a previous study based on treatment efficacy of magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia in prostate tumors. In vivo experiments have been performed to induce temperature ...
