Biological Treatment Of Waste Solutions Generated From The Remediation Of Perchlorate-Contaminated Waters, Tina Mary Gingras Jan 2002

Biological Treatment Of Waste Solutions Generated From The Remediation Of Perchlorate-Contaminated Waters, Tina Mary Gingras

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

This thesis investigates the feasibility of combining ion exchange and biological reduction to remove perchlorate contamination from waters and eliminate it from the environment. Perchlorate can be removed from water by ion exchange. However, regeneration of these resins creates a waste stream, concentrating the perchlorate and other components in the regenerant solution. This waste stream can then be channeled to a biological reactor where perchlorate is reduced by microorganisms. Perchlorate-reducing microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature, yet biological treatment of these waste streams would expose these microorganisms to high salt or ammonium concentrations and high perchlorate levels. In studying the impact …

Cytokine And Neurotransmitter Regulation Of Glial Cell Production Of Il-6; Indications For Neurodegenerative Disorders, Donald Scott Horrell Jan 2002

Cytokine And Neurotransmitter Regulation Of Glial Cell Production Of Il-6; Indications For Neurodegenerative Disorders, Donald Scott Horrell

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The cytokines interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) are produced during an immune reaction and cause inflammation and swelling of the surrounding tissue. AD is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by well-defined neuropathologic entities. Both IL-1 and IL-6 are present in senile plaques and may cause a self-propagating inflammatory process that contributes to the disease processes of AD; Somatostatin (SRIF) is a small, inhibitory neuropeptide present throughout the CNS. Because SRIF is an inhibitory neuropeptide we sought to determine the effects of SRIF on the production of IL-6 in rat C6 glial tumor cells. The release of IL-6 in the C6 cell …

Using Religious Discourse To Construct Reality: President George W Bush And Osama Bin Laden, Lisa Menegatos Jan 2002

Using Religious Discourse To Construct Reality: President George W Bush And Osama Bin Laden, Lisa Menegatos

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

This thesis examines and compares the religious discourse used by President George W. Bush in his September 20, 2001, address to a join session of Congress and by Osama bin Laden in his taped statement that aired on Al Jazeera television on October 7, 2001. As leaders of societies who both believe they are God's chosen people with a mission, both men relied on the religions of their respective nations to create a reality whereby one was good and the other evil. To illustrate how Bush and bin Laden achieve this, I apply the social construction of reality theory as …

Pr For Academic Libraries: Focus On The Faculty, Robert H. Hu Jan 2002

Pr For Academic Libraries: Focus On The Faculty, Robert H. Hu

Faculty Articles

The faculty is the driving force of most law school libraries. Instituting a public relations campaign that caters to faculty needs will illustrate the fundamental importance of the library. A successful faculty-centric public relations strategy not only solidifies the library’s position within the law school, but also generates buzz and recognition among the university-wide community. In order to better assist academic libraries in establishing a successful public relations campaign, it is helpful to consider in depth some particular ideas for accommodating and incorporating the faculty. However, ultimately, the best public relations initiative will be tailored to the uniqueness of the …

The Invisible Patient (Reviewing Sally Satel, How Political Correctness Is Corrupting Medicine (2000)), Barbara A. Noah

Faculty Scholarship

Despite the fact that African-Americans suffer from a variety of health problems at disproportionately higher rates than whites, inequities in the medical system make access to care more difficult for minorities. The problem of racial disparities in health care encompasses more than problems of access or payment, however. Communication difficulties between physician and patient and disparate provision of services covered by insurance also may contribute substantially to health disparities between the races. This review canvasses some of the evidence of differential medical treatment and offers some suggestions that may improve the quality of communication between physicians and patients. In addition …

An Alternate To Chromate Conversion Coatings For The Corrosion Protection Of Aluminum 2024-T3, Ruiguang Guo Jan 2002

An Alternate To Chromate Conversion Coatings For The Corrosion Protection Of Aluminum 2024-T3, Ruiguang Guo

Open Access Dissertations

Corrosion of high-strength aluminum alloys used for airspace application is an expensive and serious problem. The most significant environmental factor contributing to the corrosion of these alloys is water condensed from humid air and contaminated with soluble chloride salts. The Al 2024 series used for aircraft are particularly susceptible to corrosion in aqueous chloride solutions due to alloying constituents such as copper and other impurities. Chromates are efficient inhibitors of corrosion of aluminum in near neutral aqueous environments containing aggressive anions such as chlorides. Usually, aluminum alloys are initially protected by chromate conversion coatings. Additional polymer coatings are sometimes added …

Observations of neutral-current [Formula presented] interactions on deuterium in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory are reported. Using the neutral current (NC), elastic scattering, and charged current reactions and assuming the standard [Formula presented] shape, the [Formula presented] component of the [Formula presented] solar flux is [Formula presented] for a kinetic energy threshold of 5 MeV. The non- [Formula presented] component is [Formula presented], [Formula presented] greater than zero, providing strong evidence for solar [Formula presented] flavor transformation. The total flux measured with the NC reaction is [Formula presented], consistent with solar models. © 2002 The American Physical Society.

Single-Photon Quantum-Nondemolition Detectors Constructed With Linear Optics And Projective Measurements, Pieter Kok, Hwang Lee, Jonathan P. Dowling Jan 2002

Single-Photon Quantum-Nondemolition Detectors Constructed With Linear Optics And Projective Measurements, Pieter Kok, Hwang Lee, Jonathan P. Dowling

Faculty Publications

Optical quantum-nondemolition devices can provide essential tools for quantum information processing. Here, we describe several optical interferometers that signal the presence of a single photon in a particular input state without destroying it. We discuss both entanglement-assisted and nonentanglement-assisted interferometers, with ideal and realistic detectors. We found that the existing detectors with 88% quantum efficiency and single-photon resolution can yield output fidelities of up to 89%, depending on the input state. Furthermore, we construct expanded protocols to perform quantum-nondemolition detections of single photons that leave the polarization invariant. For detectors with 88% efficiency, we found polarization-preserving output fidelities of up …

Narrowing Of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency Resonance In A Doppler-Broadened Medium, Ali Javan, Olga Kocharovskaya, Hwang Lee, Marlan O. Scully Jan 2002

Narrowing Of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency Resonance In A Doppler-Broadened Medium, Ali Javan, Olga Kocharovskaya, Hwang Lee, Marlan O. Scully

Faculty Publications

We derive an analytic expression for the linewidth of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) resonance in a Doppler-broadened system. It is shown here that for relatively low intensity of the driving field the EIT linewidth is proportional to the square root of intensity and is independent of the Doppler width, similar to the laser-induced line narrowing effect described by Feld and Javan. In the limit of high intensity we recover the usual power-broadening case where the EIT linewidth is proportional to the intensity and inversely proportional to the Doppler width. © Oxford University Press 2002.

The Effect Of Reactor Geometry On Frontal Polymerization Spin Modes, John A. Pojman, Jonathan Masere, Enrico Petretto, Mauro Rustici, Do Sung Huh, Min Suk Kim, Vladimir Volpert Jan 2002

The Effect Of Reactor Geometry On Frontal Polymerization Spin Modes, John A. Pojman, Jonathan Masere, Enrico Petretto, Mauro Rustici, Do Sung Huh, Min Suk Kim, Vladimir Volpert

Faculty Publications

Using reactors of different sizes and geometries the dynamics of the frontal polymerization of 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) and pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETAC), with ammonium persulfate as the initiator were studied. For this system, the frontal polymerization exhibits complex behavior that depends on the ratio of the monomers. For a particular range of monomers concentration, the polymerization front becomes nonplanar, and spin modes appear. By varying the reactor diameter, we experimentally confirmed the expected shift of the system to a greater number of "hot spots" for larger diameters. For square test tubes a "zig-zag" mode was observed for the first time in …

The Depth Of Porphyrin In A Membrane And The Membrane's Physical Properties Affect The Photosensitizing Efficiency, Adina Lavi, Hana Weitman, Robert T. Holmes, Kevin M. Smith, Benjamin Ehrenberg Jan 2002

The Depth Of Porphyrin In A Membrane And The Membrane's Physical Properties Affect The Photosensitizing Efficiency, Adina Lavi, Hana Weitman, Robert T. Holmes, Kevin M. Smith, Benjamin Ehrenberg

Faculty Publications

Photosensitized biological processes, as applied in photodynamic therapy, are based on light-triggered generation of molecular singlet oxygen by a membrane-residing sensitizer. Most of the sensitizers currently used are hydrophobic or amphiphilic porphyrins and their analogs. The possible activity of the short-lived singlet oxygen is limited to the time it is diffusing in the membrane, before it emerges into the aqueous environment. In this paper we demonstrate the enhancement of the photosensitization process that is obtained by newly synthesized protoporphyrin derivatives, which insert their tetrapyrrole chromophore deeper into the lipid bilayer of liposomes. The insertion was measured by fluorescence quenching by …

Microstructure And Some Functional Properties Of Spray Dried Cheddar Whey Concentrated By Ultrafiltration Or Combination Of Ultrafiltration And Vacuum Evaporation, Kayanush J. Aryana, Zahur Z. Haque

Faculty Publications

In order to study the influence of the vacuum evaporation (VE) process on the functionality of whey protein concentrates (WPC's), Cheddar WPC's were produced with and without VE, viz. by i) ultrafiltration (UF) and spray drying (SD) (UFSD), and by ii) UF, VE and SD (UFVESD). Geling properties and interfacial microstructure around residual fat were studied by transmission electron microscopy. Both WPC's were hydrated with 0.1 M NaCl at pH 7.0 (10% protein w/v) and gels were made in glass tubes by heating for 15 min at 90°C. Electron dense membrane like structures were seen at the oil-water interface of …
