Nanosensors for regenerative medicine by Yeo, David C., Wiraja, Christian, Mantalaris, Athanasios (Sakis), Xu, Chenjie

“…While genetic engineering techniques allow cells to express molecules with detectable signals (e.g., fluorescence, luminescence, T1 (spin–lattice)/T2 (spin–spin) contrast in magnetic resonance imaging, radionuclide), concerns arise regarding technical complexity, high-cost of genetic manipulation, as well as mutagenic cell dysfunction. …”

Optically detected magnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses on the role of magnetic ions in colloidal nanocrystals by Dehnel, Joanna, Harchol, Adi, Barak, Yahel, Meir, Itay, Horani, Faris, Shapiro, Arthur, Strassberg, Rotem, de Mello Donegá, Celso, Demir, Hilmi Volkan, Gamelin, Daniel R., Sharma, Kusha, Lifshitz, Efrat

“…Incorporating magnetic ions into semiconductor nanocrystals has emerged as a prominent research field for manipulating spin-related properties. The magnetic ions within the host semiconductor experience spin-exchange interactions with photogenerated carriers and are often involved in the recombination routes, stimulating special magneto-optical effects. …”

Polarized fragmenting jet functions in inclusive and exclusive jet production by Kang, Zhong-Bo, Xing, Hongxi, Zhao, Fanyi, Zhou, Yiyu

“…As examples, we provide numerical results for the spin asymmetry A TU , T cos ϕ S − ϕ ̂ S h $$ {A}_{TU,T}^{\cos \left({\phi}_S-{\hat{\phi}}_{S_h}\right)} $$ from polarized semi-inclusive hadron-in-jet production in polarized pp collisions at RHIC kinematics, where a transversely polarized quark would lead to the transverse spin of the final-state hadron inside the jet and is thus sensitive to the transversity fragmentation functions. …”

Deep learning approach to cervical segmentation from routine CT images by Duan, Yiming

“…To address the sequential and location-dependent nature of bone segmen tation information, the dissertation proposes a pre-training model for location information, and combines 2.5D image input and labeled multi-channel coding to semantically segment 3D cervical spine CT images. This method can accu rately extract the information of bone joint location of slices and incorporate it into image features in the form of channels, which can improve the accuracy of multiple bone joint segmentation and classification. …”
