Dillard launches medical physics concentration
The Times Picayune online
2015-01-08
Abdalla Darwish, a Dillard physics professor, said in a statement that Dillard is, to her knowledge, the only four-year college in the state to offer a medical physics focus. Skills developed in the program will prepare students to work with and maintain a range of diagnostic imaging devices commonly used in hospitals and research centers, Darwish said...

Nonlinear optical and electronic properties of SiC/PMMA/Ge/Fe waveguide for device applications
SPIE
2007-01-01
A new optical device whose dynamic grating intensity can be electrically controlled at specific magnetic fields and wavelengths has been demonstrated. This device has a semiconductor/polymer multilayer structure formed by pulsed laser deposition at room temperature...
Laser photophoresis and pulsed electrophoresis for microorganisms manipulation
SPIE
2006-01-01
Optical trapping and transportation of microorganisms by the moving interference pattern was demonstrated with low-power (~50mW) HeNe-laser. Novel type of short-pulsed (ns) electrophoresis induced by photogalvanic effect is suggested and tested...
On the HNO→ HON isomerization mechanism: high level ab initio and density functional theory study
Journal of Molecular Structure : THEOCHEM
2002-01-01
The HNO isomerization into HON was examined with a variety of density functional theory methods, including the B1LYP, B3LYP, and the MPW1PW91 method coupled to a relatively large 6-311G(2d,2p) basis set. In addition, the CBS-Q, and G2 methods were used to further evaluate the barrier to isomerization, which is believed to occur through a three-center cyclic transition state...
The effect of newtonian cooling on vertically propagating magneto-acoustic waves in a thermally conducting isothermal atmosphere (I)
Geophysical & Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics
1994-01-01
Upward propagating acoustic waves in an isothermal atmosphere will be reflected downward if the gas is thermally conducting or permeated by a uniform magnetic field. When the oscillatory process is dominated by the efffect of the thermal diffusivity, in the presence...
