Angiogenesis is an important process in cancer growth and metastasis. During the tumor angiogenic process, endothelial cells express various cell surface receptors which can be utilized for molecular imaging and targeted drug delivery. One such protein receptor of interest is the integrin alphav beta3. Our group is involved in the development of molecular imaging probes and drug delivery system...

large urban areas are facing growing problems of noise pollutions. geospatial information systems (gis) can conveniently be adapted to gather, analyze and present noise information. gis can also be extended to answer to user specific problems through deterministic and statistics models. the objectives of this research were to measure urban traffic noise levels, analyze temporal and spatial dyna...
