Thermal Death Kinetics And Heatingrate Effects For Fifth-Instar Cydia Pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), S. Wang, J. N. Ikediala, J. Tang, J. D. Hansen

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Thermal death kinetic parameters of fifth-instar codlingmoths (Cydia pomonella (L.)) and the effect of three heating rates (1°Cmin-1, 10°Cmin-1, and 18°Cmin-1) on larval mortality were determined by a heatingblock system. The insects were heated to four temperatures (46°C, 48°C, 50°C, and 52°C) held for predetermined periods followed by 24 h storage at 4°C before mortality evaluation. Thermal death kinetics for fifth-instar codlingmoths followed a 0.5th order of kinetic reaction. Minimum time required to achieve 100% mortality of a given population decreased with temperature in a semi-logarithmic manner. No larval survival was observed in …

Purification Of The Hmg1 Protein And Investigation Of Its Interactions With Diepoxide Cross-Linked Dna, Gayle Pageau Jan 2002

Purification Of The Hmg1 Protein And Investigation Of Its Interactions With Diepoxide Cross-Linked Dna, Gayle Pageau

Honors Theses

HMG1 is a nonhistone chromosomal protein that binds preferentially to some types of globally modified DNA. HMG1 has been implicated in the cellular response to the anti-cancer agent cisplatin, functioning to block excision repair of specific distorted platinated DNA lesions and resulting in enhanced cytotoxicity. We have investigated whether other DNA-binding agents also produce lesions that are recognized by HMG1. Specifically, we used polyacrylamide gel shift assays to monitor the potential HMG1 binding of diepoxybutane interstrand cross-links, which have been suggested to induce DNA bending. We isolated the native protein from chicken erythrocytes and expressed engineered HMG domain proteins in …

Particle Formation By Rapid Expansion Of Supercritical Solutions, Chandra S. Vemavarapu Jan 2002

Particle Formation By Rapid Expansion Of Supercritical Solutions, Chandra S. Vemavarapu

Open Access Dissertations

This body of work is intended to serve as a proof of concept for the application of supramolecular chemistry in drug development. More specifically, this work is designed to evaluate crystal doping by recrystallization from supercritical media. The rapid nucleation and growth implicit to supercritical fluid based crystallizations were tested in doping drug crystals with structurally related impurities. The ultimate motive was to tailor the physicochemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APT) through crystal doping. This, in tum provides the ability to tie functionality to APl's at early stages of drug discovery and synthesis. Methods. The rapid expansion of supercritical …
