Fall 2024
Modeling of human musculature is of interest to anatomists and biomechanists for its ability to predict human motion. In current models, muscles are portrayed as connecting lines starting at the origin and ending at the insertion, however this modeling often does not account for the wrapping that...

The need for increasingly high resolution 3D models and the cost in processing high resolution polygonal meshes have made 3D point clouds an alternative for many researchers in recent years. Considerable research has been devoted to various areas of point clouds. This thesis presents three...

3D reconstruction of transparent and specular objects is a very challenging topic in computer vision. The goal is to get the 3D information of the points on the surface of a transparent or specular object and accumulate the points to form the reconstructed surface. For opaque objects, the...

4-aminobenzoic acid hydrazide mediated inhibition of Microperoxidase-11: catalytic inhibition by reactive metabolites.
DownloadFall 2011
Currently, there is lack of clinical therapeutics for inhibiting myeloperoxidase mediated pathogenesis. We used 4-aminobenzoic acid hydrazide (4-ABAH), the most potent irreversible inhibitor of myeloperoxidase and microperoxidase-11 to obtain mechanistic insight on the role of reactive...
