The Use Of Elemental Databases In Forensic Science: Studies On Vehicle Glass Interpretation And Milk Powder Provenancing, Tricia Marie Hoffman
The Use Of Elemental Databases In Forensic Science: Studies On Vehicle Glass Interpretation And Milk Powder Provenancing, Tricia Marie Hoffman
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The first study focuses on the development of a laser based method for the elemental analysis of solid milk powder. Milk powder samples originating from five different countries were analyzed to determine any geographic differences. A LA-ICP-MS method was developed and compared to k0-INAA for several milk samples as well as a reference sample. Precision of 10% RSD or better and a bias of 10% was achieved for both techniques for most elements with LA-ICP-MS producing lower limits of detection (~ 1 ppm) for Sr. The comparison of LA-ICP-MS to k0-INAA showed overlap of the 95% …

Exposure To Estrogenic Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals And Brain Health, Mark Preciados
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The overall objective of this dissertation was to examine exposures to the estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EEDCs), phthalates, bisphenol-A (BPA), and the metalloestrogens cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), and manganese (Mn) in an older geriatric aged-population and examine associations with brain health. Given the evidence that EEDCs affect brain health and play a role in the development of cognitive dysfunction and neurodegenerative disease, and the constant environmental exposure through foods and everyday products has led this to becoming a great public health concern. Using a bioinformatic approach to find nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1) gene targets involved in mitochondrial dysfunction, that …
