Abstract The literature and advances in photocatalysis based on the combination of titania (TiO 2) and carbon nanotubes is presented. The semiconductor basis for photocatalysis is introduced for anatase and rutile. Furthermore, the... more
The effects of the alkyl chain length for AFM anodization nanolithography on different alkylsilane monolayers were demonstrated by fabricating line and dot patterns. The different threshold voltage was observed on different alkylsilane... more
During the last years, several groups across the world have concentrated on the adaptation and further development of electrospinning (e-spinning) to enable ceramic fiber synthesis. Thus far, more than 20 ceramic systems have been... more
Abstract A novel photocatalytic nanocomposite biocide, which is composed of TiO2 (anatase) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT), was developed. When photocatalytic materials are attached to conductive materials, higher efficiency is... more
Discrimination of different cell types is very important in many medical and biological applications. Existing methodologies are based on cost inefficient technologies or tedious one-by-one empirical examination of the cells. Recently,... more
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death throughout the world. Advancements in early and improved diagnosis could help prevent a significant number of these deaths. Raman spectroscopy is a vibrational spectroscopic technique which has... more
Molecular mechanisms underlying the negative health effects of shift work are poorly understood, which remains a barrier to developing intervention strategies to protect the long-term health of shift workers. We evaluated genome-wide... more

Human testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) have a strong genetic component and a high familial relative risk. However, linkage analyses have not identified a rare, highly penetrant familial TGCT (FTGCT) susceptibility locus. Currently,... more
The inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFSs) are diverse disorders with syndrome-specific features; their otologic and audiologic manifestations have not been well described. Our objective was to characterize these in patients... more
Whether associations between circulating metabolites and prostate cancer are causal is unknown. We report on the largest study of metabolites and prostate cancer (2,291 cases and 2,661 controls) and appraise causality for a subset of the... more
Lycopene and green tea consumption have been observationally associated with reduced prostate cancer risk, but the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. We investigated the effect of factorial randomisation to a 6-month... more
