Hydrocarbon Degradation In Louisiana's Salt And Fresh Water Marshes: Inherent Potential, Enhancement, And In-Situ Monitoring Techniques, William A. Jackson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The ability to effectively remediate crude oil from marsh systems is important due to the coexistence of the economically important hydrocarbon industry and ecologically and economically valuable marshes. Laboratory and field studies were initiated to examine the intrinsic ability of coastal marshes to biodegrade crude oil, to determine the ability to enhance degradation using nutrient additions, and develop a superior monitoring technique. The alkane and poly aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) fractions seem to be independently degraded and these systems appear to have much greater capacity to degrade PAHs than alkanes. Nitrogen was found to be a limiting factor for both alkane …

Effects Of Predator Reduction On The Survival And Movements Of Northern Shoveler Broods, John M. Zimmer

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

I studied the effects of predator removal on survival and movements of Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata) broods in the prairie pothole region of North Dakota. The study was conducted from April through August 1995. No treatment effects were found on brood survival as both 14 and 30 day survival estimates were statistically equivalent. Experimental sites had higher brood and duckling survival and produced twice as many fledglings per successful nest than control sites. Cumulative movement distance had no effect on duckling survival. While survival rates of Northern Shoveler broods and ducklings were higher than most species of prairie nesting ducks, …

Solution Conformation Of De Novo Antimicrobial Peptides, Maryam Javadpour

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

De novo antimicrobial peptides were designed to help study the necessary conformational properties of biologically active peptides. One set of peptides are: (KLAKKLA)n, (KLAKLAK)n, (n=l, 2, 3), (KALKALK)3, (KLGKKLG)n, and (KAAKKAA)n (n=2,3), while the second set have phenylalanine substituted for leucine, (KFAKFAK)3 and (KFAKKFA)n, (n=3,4). These peptides were designed. to be perfectly amphipathic in helical conformations.

Circular dichroism was used to study their secondary structure in aqueous solution, sodium dodecylsulfate micelles, and phospholipid vesicles. Peptide antibacterial activity was tested against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and S. aureus. Peptide cytotoxicity was tested against a mammalian cell line, 3T3 mouse fibroblasts. Our …

A Palynological Study Of Swamp Sediments At The Poverty Point Archaeological Site, Northeastern Louisiana, Karen Thomas

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The Poverty Point site, characterized by elaborate earthworks, was occupied from about 1500 B.C. to 500 B.C. (Webb 1982). The site was the central node for a large manufacturing network at the end of the late Archaic Period. Questions of subsistence and the demise of the culture remain unanswered. This thesis employs a palynological study of a swamp in the Poverty Point archaeological site (16WC5), northeastern Louisiana. Eight cores were taken from a swamp immediately adjacent to the mounds at the site. Loss-on-ignition was done for four cores. Two cores, cores PP5 and PP7 were used for pollen analysis; core …
