  • Ecology of the predatory mite, Pergamasus quisquiliarum Canestrini (Acari: Mesostigmata)

    Creator:
    Groth, Eric M.
    Abstract:
    Pergamasus quisquiliarum Canestini is a polyphagous predatory mite that has been shown to feed on the economically important arthropod, Scutigerella immaculata Newport (Symphyla: Scutigerellidae), Collembola, Diptera larvae, Enchytraeid worms, and miscellaneous other soil organisms. This study examined the feeding behavior of P. quisquiliarum, the effects of cover cropping and tillage...

  • New bioactive natural products from marine algae and cyanobacteria

    Creator:
    Sabry, Omar Mohamed
    Abstract:
    This thesis is an account of investigation on the natural products deriving from various marine algae and has resulted in the discovery of eleven novel bioactive metabolites. Isolation and characterization of these new molecules were carried out using different chromatographic techniques and by analyses of different spectroscopic data, respectively. Using...

  • Developing rapid in vivo assays to investigate structure response relationships

    Creator:
    Truong, Lisa
    Abstract:
    Incorporation of nanoparticles (NPs) into consumer products is on the rise and human exposure to NPs is unavoidable. Currently, there is insufficient data to assess the safety of nanoparticles. I conducted a series of five studies using the zebrafish model to determine which NP components (i.e., core material or surface...

  • Development and application of a new passive sampling device : the lipid-free tube (LFT) sampler

    Creator:
    Quarles, Lucas W.
    Abstract:
    Contaminants can exist in a wide range of states in aqueous environments, especially in surface waters. They can be freely dissolved or associated with dissolved or particulate organic matter depending on their chemical and physical characteristics. The freely dissolved fraction represents the most bioavailable fraction to an organism. These freely...
