Main-sequence Turnoff Stars as Probes of the Ancient Galactic Relic: Chemo-dynamical Analysis of a Pilot Sample
The main-sequence turnoff (MSTO) stars well preserve the chemical properties where they were born, making them ideal tracers for studying the stellar population. We perform a detailed chemo-dynamical analysis on moderately metal-poor ($-2.0<\mathrm{[Fe/H]}<-1.0$) MSTO stars to explore the early accretion history of the Milky Way. Our sample includes four stars observed with high-resolution spectroscopy using CFHT/ESPaDOnS and 163 nearby MSTO stars selected from the SAGA database with high-resol…

Just a quick #leukemia update. Finished my 2nd round of consolidation chemo, but as usual, 10 days later had to go back in for a neutropenic fever for 5 days of antibiotics.
Back home now, white cells recovered nicely, still pretty anemic. So, tired but otherwise feel fine. But most importantly ZERO cancer cells!
I meet w my main leukemia doc on 5/22 to decide whether I need furth…

A mathematical model of CAR-T cell therapy in combination with chemotherapy for malignant gliomas
We study the dynamics and interactions between combined chemotherapy and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T) cells therapy and malignant gliomas (MG). MG is one of the most common primary brain tumor, with high resistance to therapy and unfavorable prognosis. Here, we develop a mathematical model that describes the application of chemo- and CAR-T cell therapies and the dynamics of sensitive and resistant populations of tumor cells. This model is a five-dimensional dynamical system with impulsive …

Reactive Transport Simulation of Silicate-Rich Shale Rocks when Exposed to CO2 Saturated Brine Under High Pressure and High Temperature
This study examines the feasibility of carbon dioxide storage in shale rocks and the reliability of reactive transport models in achieving accurate replication of the chemo-mechanical interactions and transport processes transpiring in these rocks when subjected to CO2 saturated brine. Owing to the heterogeneity of rocks, experimental testing for adequate deductions and findings, could be an expensive and time-intensive process. Therefore, this study proposes utilization of reactive transport m…
