Estimating individual cancer risks in the UK national breast screening programme: A feasibility study (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Diffey, J., Hufton, A., Astley, S., Mercer, C., & Maxwell, A. (2008). Estimating individual cancer risks in the UK national breast screening programme: A feasibility study. In International Workshop on Digital Mammography (469-476). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-70538-3_65

Conventional risk models for the development of breast cancer use inputs such as age, weight, hormonal factors and family history to compute individual breast cancer risk. These are employed in the management of women at high risk. The addition of br...

Metal coated subwavelength laser resonators with low threshold gain (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Mizrahi, A., Lomakin, V., Slutsky, B., Nezhad, M., Feng, L., & Fainman, Y. (2008). Metal coated subwavelength laser resonators with low threshold gain. . https://doi.org/10.1364/FIO.2008.FTuAA4

We demonstrate that a low refractive index layer in metal coated laser resonators can significantly reduce the threshold gain. A subwavelength resonator with a sufficiently low threshold gain to lase at room temperature is presented.

Wavelength selective coupler with vertical gratings on silicon chip (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Ikeda, K., Nezhad, M., & Fainman, Y. (2008). Wavelength selective coupler with vertical gratings on silicon chip. . https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2936862

We propose a wavelength selective coupler using vertical grating structure on silicon chip and discuss the operation principle and the analytic design procedure. The transmission spectra expected by the procedure agree with finite difference time dom... Read More about Wavelength selective coupler with vertical gratings on silicon chip.

Inferring the function of genes from synthetic lethal mutations (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Ray, O., & Bryant, C. (2008). Inferring the function of genes from synthetic lethal mutations. In F. Xhafa, & L. Barolli (Eds.), Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems (667-671). https://doi.org/10.1109/CISIS.2008.124

Techniques for detecting synthetic lethal mutations in double gene deletion experiments are emerging as powerful tool for analysing genes in parallel or overlapping pathways with a shared function. This paper introduces a logic-based approach that us... Read More about Inferring the function of genes from synthetic lethal mutations.

Fabrication approaches for metallo-dielectric plasmonic waveguides (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Nezhad, M., Zamek, S., Pang, L., & Fainman, Y. (2008). Fabrication approaches for metallo-dielectric plasmonic waveguides. In Advanced Fabrication Technologies for Micro/Nano Optics and Photonics. https://doi.org/10.1117/12.768161

Different techniques for fabricating long-range plasmonic metallo-dielectric waveguides are discussed. The approaches depend strongly on the material system in use. Specific results are presented for SU8 and PDMS.
