Investigating The Developmental Impacts Of 3,3’-Dichlorobiphenyl (Pcb-11) In Zebrafish (Danio Rerio), Monika A. Roy
Doctoral Dissertations
The environmental pollutant 3,3’-dichlorobiphenyl (PCB-11) is a lower-chlorinated polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congener present in air and water samples. Both PCB-11 and its metabolite, 4-PCB-11-Sulfate, are detected in humans, including in pregnant women. The work conducted for this dissertation takes a developmental toxicology approach and uses zebrafish (Danio rerio) to investigate PCB-11’s potential impacts to the liver and pancreas. Chapter 1 introduces PCBs and the current knowledge gaps. Chapter 2 investigates PCB-11 interactions in short-term 4-day exposures with the Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) pathway in both 0-20 mM individual and mixture exposures with other Ahr agonists. In Chapter 3, …

Carnivores are distributed widely and threatened by habitat loss, poaching, climate change, and disease. They are considered integral to ecosystem function through their direct and indirect interactions with species at different trophic levels. Given the importance of carnivores, it is of high conservation priority to understand the processes driving carnivore assemblages in different systems. It is thus essential to determine the abiotic and biotic drivers of carnivore community composition at different spatial scales and address the following questions: (i) What factors influence carnivore community composition and diversity? (ii) How do the factors influencing carnivore communities vary across spatial and temporal …

High Throughput Analysis To Study Emerging Pollutants And Nanoparticle Fate In Biological Systems, Xiaolong He
Doctoral Dissertations
”The increasing applications of emerging and fugitive contaminants (EFCs) and engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) attract significant research interest for their potential risks to human health and the environment. In order to assess the health risks of these emerging contaminants, rapid and reliable analytical methods to measure the concentrations and fates of these contaminants are imperative. This dissertation focuses on the developments of advanced analytical methods and their applications to study those emerging contaminants in crop plant and simulated gastric fluid (SGF). Three types of mass spectrometry based methodologies have been developed, one is freeze-thaw/centrifugation extraction followed by high performance liquid chromatography …
