The Utilization Of Volatile Organic Compounds And Human Leukocyte Antigen Genes For Ethnic-Specific Differentiation Within Target Populations, Alice Breia Boone
The Utilization Of Volatile Organic Compounds And Human Leukocyte Antigen Genes For Ethnic-Specific Differentiation Within Target Populations, Alice Breia Boone
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Human scent has been previously defined as a complex mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detected in the headspace above a scent sample. Humans generate odor from several areas of the body including hair, mouth, hand, axillae, and foot. Due to the novelty of human scent research, human scent evidence has been undervalued in the court of law. However, this type of evidence has significant value when physical evidence is not available at crime scenes. To increase the individualization and differentiation power of human scent evidence, this study aimed to further investigate the identification of chemical signatures within axillae of …
An Ecological Study Of The Anurans In Tea Plantations In A Biodiversity Hotspot, Lilly M. Eluvathingal
An Ecological Study Of The Anurans In Tea Plantations In A Biodiversity Hotspot, Lilly M. Eluvathingal
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Increasing human population size is increasing the demand for resources like timber, oil, tea, coffee, and other crops. Plantation crops mimic some aspects of native habitats, and there are studies that report the presence of some native anuran biodiversity in plantations. I focused on tea plantations in the Western Ghats-Sri Lanka Biodiversity Hotspot and studied the diversity and health of anurans in different habitats found within a tea cultivation area, near Munnar region in the Western Ghats, India. The landscape includes tea bushes, native evergreen shola forest patches, and eucalyptus forest stands. I reviewed 40 studies comparing amphibian species richness …
The Use Of Capillary Electrophoresis (Ce) In Drug Analysis, Agnes D. Garcia
The Use Of Capillary Electrophoresis (Ce) In Drug Analysis, Agnes D. Garcia
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Capillary electrophoresis is currently a very powerful technique for the analysis of seized drugs. A rapid analytical CE method for the screening and quantification of GHB and GBL was achieved using 300mM CTAC/25mM phosphate buffer pH 6.3. Reversed phase HPLC was achieved using 25mM phosphate buffer pH 6.5 and a Cl8 Aqua column. Chiral separation of 9 amphetamine type stimulants was obtained using a highly sulfated gamma-cyclodextrin as a chiral selector. MECC and CZE were compared for the analysis of psilocybin, while a rapid and robust method is presented for the analysis of major opium alkaloids, using dynamically coated capillary …
