    • Bone microstructural changes in rat tibias exposed to space radiation 

      Vander Wiele, Sabrina S.; Felipe, Jack T.; Thomas, Patricia; Davis, Catherine M.; Lau, Anthony G. (2021)
      Human health outside of the Earth’s atmosphere has become a greater concern as humans have lived on the International Space station for over 20 years. Radiation poses a risk to astronaut health, yet there is little research ...

    • The effect of helium ion radiation on the material properties of bone 

      Thomas, Patricia; Sullivan, Lindsay K.; Dickinson, Gary H.; Davis, Catherine M.; Lau, Anthony G. (Springer, 2021-06)

    • The Effects of 4-He Radiation on the Material Properties of Bone 

      Thomas, Patricia; Davis, Catherine M.; Dickison, Gary H.; Lau, Anthony G. (2020)
      NASA has a long-term goal to go to Mars. The long duration spaceflight has many risks to astronaut health, including the risk of bone loss due to the absence of gravity and exposure to space radiation. There have been ...

    • Effects of galactic cosmic radiation on material properties of bone 

      Meyers, Michelle; Okulicz, Calvin J.; Thomas, Patricia; Davis, Catherine M.; Lau, Anthony G. (2021)
      One of the many missions of NASA is to develop a safer agent of space travel for astronauts. According to NASA, the average astronaut will be exposed to anywhere between 50 and 2,000 mGy of effective radiation. In a more ...

    • The Effects of Head Only Radiation on the Hardness of Bone 

      Lau, Anthony G.; Dickinson, Gary H.; Thomas, Patricia; Davis, Catherine M. (2019)
      NASA has a long term goal to go to Mars. The long duration spaceflight has many risks to astronaut health, including the risk of bone loss due to the absence of gravity and exposure to space radiation. There have been ...

    • Inhibition Increases Modularity in Bursting Neuronal Networks 

      Ortelli, Olivia; Clooney, James; DeChiara, EmilyAnn; Devane, Noah; Thomas, Patricia; Nguyen, Tuan (2020)
      Neuronal networks in dissociated cultures spontaneously generate synchronous activity known as network bursting, which is characterized by the firing of nearly all neurons every 30−100 seconds. There has been much research ...
