چکیده

Current techniques used to image gene expression in vivo use invasive surgical procedures or harmful gamma rays to analyze tissue. Optical imaging of tissue is difficult because the majority of light is absorbed by tissue. In the near infrared (NIR) region, however, absorption of light decreases and it is possible to “see” through tissue. Though absorption is minimal in the near infrared region, scattering due to tissue heterogeneities hinders optical imaging. We are developing a detector for laser-induced fluorescence in the NIR using a modulated avalanche photodiode (APD) to amplify the signal and the time delay of fluorescence to differentiate between scattered light and fluorescence. We have shown that by modulating the avalanche photodiode, we can amplify the signal by nearly 70%.

Reexamining the Relationship of Beryllium-7 Adsorption to Grain Size in the York River, Virginia A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Geology from the College of William and Mary by

Fractional grain size and net amount of Be present was determined for 19 samples collected from the York River, Virginia, through the spring and summer. The data did not support the idea that there is a relationship between grain size and Be in the bed sediments. This noticeable lack of a trend could be a result of other factors controlling the adsorption of Be, such as salinity, pH and dynamic...
