Analysis Of Veterinary Drug Residues In Imported And Domestic Crawfish Using Liquid Chromatography—Mass Spectrometry, Emily Kate Wall Jan 2018

Analysis Of Veterinary Drug Residues In Imported And Domestic Crawfish Using Liquid Chromatography—Mass Spectrometry, Emily Kate Wall

LSU Master's Theses

Aquaculture production has greatly increased over the past few decades, and will continue to grow as the world fisheries become overfished and demand for seafood increases. With increased production comes more intense cultivation methods and heavy use of formulated feeds that may contain veterinary drug residues. Currently no antibiotics are allowed in the U.S. for crawfish aquaculture; yet, detectable levels of various antibiotics have been found in imported seafood samples.The FDA is responsible for testing aquaculture products entering the United States, but only has the capabilities to test a minimal amount of those imports. Additionally, for crawfish there is only …


Nanopatterns Of Zinc Phthalocyanines, Gold Nanoparticles, And Porphyrins Prepared Using Particle Lithography: Characterization Of Patterning Steps With Scanning Probe Microscopy, Ashley Marie Taylor Nov 2017

Nanopatterns Of Zinc Phthalocyanines, Gold Nanoparticles, And Porphyrins Prepared Using Particle Lithography: Characterization Of Patterning Steps With Scanning Probe Microscopy, Ashley Marie Taylor

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

The growth and self-assembly of molecules on surfaces can be directly visualized at the molecular level using studies which combine nanoscale lithography and high-resolution imaging. Nanopatterning provides a unique and practical approach for direct views of surface changes after the key chemical steps of nanopatterning, providing landmarks and baselines for measuring growth in vertical and lateral dimensions. Controlling the arrangement of materials on surfaces at the nanoscale can be achieved using particle lithography. Arrays of well-defined nanostructures can be prepared with reproducible geometries and arrangement. Results for the preparation of nanopatterns produced with particle lithography are presented using high resolution …


Self-Assembly Mechanisms Of Organosilanes And Porphyrins Investigated With Scanning Probe Microscopy, Phillip Charles Chambers Ii Nov 2017

Self-Assembly Mechanisms Of Organosilanes And Porphyrins Investigated With Scanning Probe Microscopy, Phillip Charles Chambers Ii

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation details the development of new fabrication strategies for the preparation of spatially selective surfaces by combining techniques of particle lithography and scanning probe microscopy (SPM). This combination of lithography and nanoscale surface characterization was applied to study the mechanisms of molecular level surface-assembly of organosilanes and porphyrin on surfaces of Si(111). Particle lithography was used to investigate the surface assembly of 4-chloromethylphenyltrichlorosilane (CMPS) within exposed sites of nanoholes in selected solvents and at selected temperatures to gain insight into the details of self-polymerization. Nanopillars of CMPS were generated under selected conditions of solvent and temperature and characterized with …
