  • Analysis of semi-volatile organic contaminants and their accumulation in remote aquatic ecosystems of the western US

    Creator:
    Ackerman, Luke K.
    Abstract:
    Many pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are persistent, bio-accumulative, and toxic. These semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) can undergo atmospheric transport and deposition in cold, remote ecosystems. A better understanding of their accumulation in the fish of these ecosystems is important to better predict...

  • Gas-phase fragmentation chemistry of protonated peptide ions

    Creator:
    Bythell, Benjamin James
    Abstract:
    The fragmentation characteristics of protonated peptides have been investigated using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) under various fragmentation regimes and detailed density functional theory (DFT) reaction pathway calculations. The DFT calculations predict novel salt-bridge stabilized transition structures as well as consecutive reactions occurring in proton-bound dimers for some of the ions...

  • Tracking semi-volatile organic pollutants in remote lake systems

    Creator:
    Usenko, Sascha
    Abstract:
    SOCs volatility and persistence properties cause many SOCs to become ubiquitous in the environment as well as accumulate in areas with lower temperatures such as polar or orographic regions. Many anthropogenic SOCs pose a serious risk to human and ecosystem health because of their persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic properties in...

  • Wide band gap semiconductors and insulators : synthesis, processing and characterization

    Creator:
    Hersh, Peter A.
    Abstract:
    The work presented here is focused on applying basic principles of solid-state chemistry to the study and development of new wide band-gap semiconductors and insulators for photovoltaic and electronic-device applications. Analysis of crystal structure, band structure, optical band gap, morphology and transport properties provides fundamental insight into materials performance as...

  • Luminescent sulfides and solution-deposited oxide thin films

    Creator:
    Anderson, Jeremy T.
    Abstract:
    Solid state luminescent sulfides are prepared as powders in order to elucidate the relationship between structure and light emission. While the sulfides studied in this dissertation are known phosphors, materials are investigated in a variety of new ways. Elementary properties and structures of MgS are reviewed, and preparation of MgS...

  • Trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport of anthropogenic semivolatile organic compounds in the western U.S.

    Creator:
    Primbs, Toby
    Abstract:
    The atmospheric transport of anthropogenic semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) from Asian sources to the Western U.S. was investigated. In addition, the SOC extraction method was optimized. Hansen solubility parameter plots were used to aid in the pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) solvent selection of air sampling media in order to minimize...

  • Synthesis and characterization of novel stationary phases for small scale liquid chromatographic separations of proteins and nanoparticles

    Creator:
    Hutanu, Daniela
    Abstract:
    The emerging field of nanotechnology strictly requires the micro-scaling of the available separation technology and the design of novel devices for separations of molecules of interest. The separation of proteins and nanoparticles is challenging due to their relatively large size, non-specific adherence to surfaces and instability in many solvents. This...

  • Comparison between lichen, conifer needles, resin-based passive air sampling devices (PASDs), and snow to monitor semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) in the atmosphere

    Creator:
    Schrlau, Jill E.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research was to compare four different media that were used to monitor SOC atmospheric concentrations in remote ecosystems. The accumulation of semi-volatile organic compounds, including pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), was investigated in lichen, 2-year old conifer needles, resin-based passive air sampling...
