Redefining cancer photodynamic therapy with gold nanoparticles
Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.Gold nanoparticle (AuNP)‐based photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses light to increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) production for effective cancer therapy. AuNP‐PDT systems are targeted to tumor tissues, and upon light irradiation, produce ROS to cause cellular damage and apoptosis.

Development of Lightning Simulator [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 In this work we have developed a lightning simulator. Reproducing the light of lightning, we adopted seven waveforms that contains two light waveforms and five current waveforms of lightning. Furthermore, the lightning simulator can calibrate the color of the simulated light output based on a correlated color temperature (CCT). The CCT of the simulated

Lightning-Related Indicators for National Climate Assessment (NCA) Studies [PDF]
Changes in climate can affect the characteristics of lightning (e.g., number of flashes that occur in a region, return stroke current and multiplicity, polarity of charge deposited to ground, and the lightning cloud-top optical energy emission). The NASA/

The use of public spatial databases in risk analysis: A US‐oriented tutorial
Risk Analysis, EarlyView.Abstract This tutorial focuses on opportunities and challenges associated with using six large, publicly accessible spatial databases published during the last decade by US federal agencies. These databases provide opportunities for researchers to risk‐inform policy by comparing community asset, demographic, economic, and social data, along with ...

Risk Analysis, EarlyView.Abstract The transition from one level of operations to a next larger, more complex level while maintaining coherence as a system has stymied organizational theorists for decades. Drawing on systems theory, network analysis, and collaborative governance, we explore how networks adapt during rapidly escalating crises.
