For ras gene mutation analysis in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus
mykiss) model system, a partial trout ras sequence was identified
using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Two synthetic
oligonucleotides based on ra ...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are significant pollutants in aquatic environments. Many are carcinogenic and lead to DNA fragmentation and adduct formation in marine and freshwater organisms. Previous research d ...
Ribosomes are multicomponent macromolecular particles and
are essential for the survival of cells in all organisms. The ribosome's
universal function is to catalyze polypeptide synthesis through
translation of mRNA tr ...
In this dissertation I explore the application of two novel modeling
techniques for improving risk analysis of vector-borne disease and discuss their
potential use in integrating environmental risk assessment that guid ...
Urban rivers with a history of industrial use can exhibit spatial and temporal variations in contaminant concentrations that may significantly affect risk evaluations and assessment of remediation efforts. To more effect ...
