Bioavailability And Bioaccumulation Of Sediment-Associated, Desorption-Resistant Fraction Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Contaminants, Xiaoxia Lu Jan 2003

Bioavailability And Bioaccumulation Of Sediment-Associated, Desorption-Resistant Fraction Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Contaminants, Xiaoxia Lu

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This study is directed toward identifying and characterizing the bioavailability of both reversibly sorbed and desorption-resistant fraction of hydrophobic organic contaminants in natural biologically active sediments and the corresponding consequences to prediction, control and regulation of these contaminants. The focus is on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with particular emphasis on phenanthrene and benzo[a]pyrene. A quantity of well-characterized and extensively desorbed sediments was prepared by desorbing the lab-inoculated sediment with an isopropanol and electrolyte solution. This procedure was proved to be a very effective method to prepare sediments containing contaminants largely limited to a desorption-resistant compartment. Accumulation of contaminants in the …

Adherence To Medical Regimens In Low-Income Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: The Influence Of Perceived Control Constructs, Erin L. O'Hea Jan 2003

Adherence To Medical Regimens In Low-Income Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: The Influence Of Perceived Control Constructs, Erin L. O'Hea

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Individuals with Type 2 diabetes often do not adhere to their treatment regimens (e.g., exercise, diet, medication, glucose monitoring). Non-adherence results in poor metabolic control, further morbidity and mortality, and increased health care utilization and costs. One common thread among many health-behavior-theories that attempt to explain non-adherence behaviors is the importance of perceived control. This psychosocial variable has most often been conceptualized as ‘health locus of control,’ which refers to the belief that one has the ability to influence or change one’s health outcomes. Inconsistent findings have been reported regarding the relationship of health locus of control and medical regimen …

Parents, Educators, Law Enforcement, And Participation In Delinquent Behavior: Gender Socialization And Views Of Life Changes, Jolie Marie Imler

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The task of the proposed research is to determine the extent parents, educators, law enforcement, and participation in delinquent behavior influence responses of youth toward their hopefulness for the future and likelihood of attending college and whether the relationships differ by gender. Using gender socialization, social capital, and labeling theories as theoretical backgrounds, it is anticipated that contradictory socialization patterns, gendered access to social capital, and labels influence the resources and responses of female juveniles when considering hopefulness for the future and the likelihood of attending college. The proposed study will use secondary data comprised of youth either adjudicated delinquent …

Characterization Of Protein Secretion In Mycobacterium Leprae Using Phoa Fusions In Escherichia Coli And Mycobacterium Smegmatis, Marina Noemi Torrero Jan 2003

Characterization Of Protein Secretion In Mycobacterium Leprae Using Phoa Fusions In Escherichia Coli And Mycobacterium Smegmatis, Marina Noemi Torrero

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Complete sequencing and annotation of the M. leprae genome has provided new information related to proteins constituting its hypothetical proteome. Since M. leprae can not be grown in vitro, novel approaches are needed to determine which proteins are expressed during infection and whether these proteins are related to pathogenesis. Secreted proteins represent a distinct group of protein with respect to their structure and function, contribution to virulence and are of particular importance for vaccine development because they are often immunogenic and have the potential to be recognized early in infection. The objectives of this study were: 1) to identify putatively …
