Retrieval Of Atmospheric Elemental Carbon Records Using Lake Sediments : Implications In Radiative Forcing, Tanveer Ahmed
Retrieval Of Atmospheric Elemental Carbon Records Using Lake Sediments : Implications In Radiative Forcing, Tanveer Ahmed
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Elemental or black carbon (EC or BC) aerosols produced during incomplete combustion strongly absorb solar radiation and contribute to global warming, and cause cardiopulmonary disease. Long-term atmospheric EC measurements, [EC]atm, are needed to validate global climate models to estimate the impact of EC on earth's temperature. Such data is sparse.
Arsenic Speciation Analysis Of Biological Fluids : A Study Of Liquid Chromatography Coupled To Analytical Atomic Spectrometric Instrumentation, Kanna Ito
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Arsenic exists as many different chemical forms including inorganic, methylated and dietary species. The toxicity of these species varies: some are highly toxic and can cause adverse health effects in many parts of the body; others are considered relatively non-toxic. Monitoring arsenic exposure is usually accomplished by its direct measurement in biological fluids. Urine is the specimen of choice for assessing arsenic exposure, because of its short biological half-life in blood. There have been very few studies of arsenic species in blood, yet such research can provide valuable information on arsenic distribution and its metabolism in the body.
Preparation And Application Of Transgenic And Knockout Mouse Models For Studies On Cytochrome P450 Functions, Yuan Wei
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The overall objective of this dissertation is to study the in vivo function of microsomal cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s), which metabolize numerous drugs, chemical carcinogens, environmental pollutants, as well as endogenous signaling molecules such as steroid hormones and eicosanoids. The major research tool of this study involves the development of transgenic and knockout mouse models. The specific aims are 1) to study the in vivo function of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) and CPR-dependent enzymes using a mouse model with a reversible hypomorphic Cpr gene; 2) to study the in vivo function of CYP2A13 with a CYP2A13- transgenic model; and 3) …
