Prog Brain Res 27(7):1059-68 (2011) PMID 21110100

To prospectively evaluate image quality parameters, contrast volume and radiation dose at the 100-kilovolt (kV) setting during coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) on a 320-row computed tomography scanner. We enrolled 107 consecutive patients with a heart rate

    We investigate swimming and chemotactic behaviors of the polarly flagellated marine bacteria Vibrio alginolyticus in an aqueous medium. Our observations show that V. alginolyticus execute a cyclic, three-step (forward, reverse, and flick) swimming pattern that is distinctively different from the run...

    Biophys J 86(6):9 (2004) PMID 15189888 PMCID 1304293

    We demonstrate a polarization harmonics optical microscopy, or P-HOM, to study the nonlinear optical anisotropy of the nanometer-scaled myosin and actin filaments inside myofibrils. By using tight focusing we can avoid the phase-matching condition due to micron-scaled, high-order structures in skele...
