Of the various toxins cyanobacteria are capable of producing, this paper will focus on microcystins and BMAA, a family of hepatotoxins and a specific neurotoxin respectively. The two analytical methods discussed are liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry and ELISA kit techniques. The advantages and drawbacks …
Non-Target Analyses Of Novel Psychoactive Substances; Inherent Variation In Gcms Relative Abundances And Gas Phase Hydrogen Deuterium Exchange Isomer Discrimination, Kristin Michelle Kelly
Non-Target Analyses Of Novel Psychoactive Substances; Inherent Variation In Gcms Relative Abundances And Gas Phase Hydrogen Deuterium Exchange Isomer Discrimination, Kristin Michelle Kelly
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Novel psychoactive substances (NPSs) are synthetically derived compounds designed to mimic the effects of other illicit drugs. An endless cycle of NPSs continually reach the drug market due to limitations in drug legislation creating two problems: (1) non-availability of standards and (2) multiple isobars indistinguishable even to high resolution mass spectrometry. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) is the most common instrument used for compound identification in non-targeted seized drug analysis. Compound identification using this technique relies on mass spectra where the percent relative abundances (%RAs) of all m/z values are compared manually or searched against a library database. Lacking standards, laboratories …
Explosive Residue Transfer From Various Explosive Ordinance Disposal (Eod) Render Safe Procedures (Rsp), Joseph A. Stein
Explosive Residue Transfer From Various Explosive Ordinance Disposal (Eod) Render Safe Procedures (Rsp), Joseph A. Stein
Master of Science in Forensic Science Directed Research Projects
Before an IED is sent to a laboratory for analysis, it needs to be rendered safe if it did not already initiate. Render safe procedures (RSPs) include utilizing a percussion-actuated non-electric (PAN) disrupter or a mineral water bottle disrupter. Each disrupter utilizes explosives to render the device safe by breaking open the container or disrupting the fuzing system. However, the same explosives used in the RSP are also used by criminals in IED construction. As such, the explosives used in the RSP can cause problems with the interpretation of the results from forensic analysis of the IED fragments. Compounds of …
Evaluation Of Fingerprint Content For Forensic Crime Scene Analysis And Drug Metabolite Detection, Erica Kathryn Brunelle
Evaluation Of Fingerprint Content For Forensic Crime Scene Analysis And Drug Metabolite Detection, Erica Kathryn Brunelle
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
With respect to criminal investigations, one key piece of evidence that often gets overlooked are fingerprints. For years, fingerprint samples have been believed to be useful only for matching purposes using their unique ridges, shapes, and sizes. With the rapid growth of forensic science, it has become evident that the development of fingerprint analysis has been stagnant. The traditional approach has been advantageous for the identification of many individuals; however, many fingerprint samples have been labeled “unusable” due to smudging, smearing, or any one of a myriad of reasons that could cause inconclusive matches. These samples can, however, still be …

Development Of Laser Ablation Direct Analysis In Real Time Imaging-Mass Spectrometry (Ladi-Ms)-Applications To Questions Of Relevance To Forensic Science And Plant Biochemistry, Kristen Leigh Fowble
Development Of Laser Ablation Direct Analysis In Real Time Imaging-Mass Spectrometry (Ladi-Ms)-Applications To Questions Of Relevance To Forensic Science And Plant Biochemistry, Kristen Leigh Fowble
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Methods for the accomplishment of small molecule imaging by mass spectrometry are challenged by the need for sample pre-treatment steps such as cryo-sectioning, dehydration, chemical fixation, or application of a matrix or solvent, that must be performed to obtain interpretable spatial distribution data. Furthermore, these steps along with requirements of the mass analyzer such as high vacuum, can severely limit the range of sample types that can be analyzed by this powerful method. Here, we report the development of a laser ablation-direct analysis in real time imaging-mass spectrometry (LADI-MS) approach which couples a 213 nm Nd:YAG solid state UV laser …
Novel Mass Spectrometric Approaches For Deciphering The Epitranscriptomic Code, William D. Mcintyre
Novel Mass Spectrometric Approaches For Deciphering The Epitranscriptomic Code, William D. Mcintyre
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
According to the results of the Human Genome Project, less than 5% of our genome consists of sequences that code for actual proteins. At the same time, however, ~90% of these non-coding sequences are transcribed into a myriad of classes of ribonucleic acids collectively known as ncRNAs, which have been recognized as essential regulatory factors. It has been recently shown that the activity of ncRNAs can be in turn modulated by post-transcriptional modifications (PTMs), covalent marks that can be established/removed by tightly regulated enzymatic pathways. Now, the race is on to understand the new set of controls of cellular functions …
Accumulation And Spatial Distribution Of Lead And Other Trace Elements In Keratinized Tissues : Investigations Based On Analytical Atomic Spectrometry, Mina W. Tehrani
Accumulation And Spatial Distribution Of Lead And Other Trace Elements In Keratinized Tissues : Investigations Based On Analytical Atomic Spectrometry, Mina W. Tehrani
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Human biomonitoring for toxic metals such as lead (Pb) provides information about absorbed dose from all exposure routes, and is critical for identifying exposed individuals and assessing health risks. Blood Pb and bone Pb are the primary validated biomarkers for assessing short-term and historical Pb exposures, respectively, while non-traditional matrices, including keratinized tissues, can provide complementary exposure information. Hard keratinized tissues – including hair, nails, hooves, and horns – grow incrementally, potentially preserving chemical exposure histories over a span of days to years. Analytical limitations and poor interlaboratory reproducibility, however, have led to debate around the use of human nails …
Roaming Transition States And Highly Accurate Thermochemistry: A Pepico Study Of Two Small Combustion Systems, Kyle John Covert
Roaming Transition States And Highly Accurate Thermochemistry: A Pepico Study Of Two Small Combustion Systems, Kyle John Covert
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Two small combustion systems, methyl hydroperoxide (CH3OOH) and 2-propanol ((CH3)2CHOH), were studied using imaging photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy (iPEPICO), which combines photoelectron spectroscopy and photoionization mass spectrometry to detect coincident photoelectron-photoion pairs. In the photon energy range of 11.4–14.0 eV, energy selected CH3OOH+ ions dissociate into CH2OOH+, HCO+, CH3+, and H3O+ ions. The lowest-energy dissociation channel is the formation of the cation of the smallest “QOOH” radical, CH2OOH+. A statistical rate model fitted to the …

Investigation Of Thiol-Containing Biomarkers And Their Role In The Exposome, Tracy Gastineau-Stevens
Theses and Dissertations--Chemistry
Exposomics is an emerging area of study that looks at how the environment around a person or persons affects their overall health. Biomarkers have emerged as useful tools to better understand how the exposome affects a person. In this work, we investigate two potential endogenous biomarkers, homocysteine and glutathione that have been previously implicated in a number of diseases that have been linked to environmental causes. We also investigated an environmental exposure, the fungicide Ziram, which epidemiologically has been linked to diseases. In our investigation, we utilized capillary electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry to develop a method for homocysteine and …
