Utilization of the Zebrafish Model for Investigating Nitrated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Developmental Toxicity

Creator:: Chlebowski, Anna C.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most widely known and studied environmental contaminants, originating from a range of natural and anthropogenic sources. PAHs are known to occur in the environment as complex mixtures, containing both unsubstituted PAHs, as well as a range of PAH derivatives. Among the less-studied of...

An analysis of the viability of ranked set sample methodologies based on the evaluation of Dyess AFB B-47 crash site radiological contamination survey data and theoretical modifications

Creator:: Miller, Vivien J.
Abstract:: Since Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) was proposed in 1952 by G.A. McIntyre, it has been the subject of many statistical investigations and a large number of field studies. Throughout these studies RSS has been proven to provide a better estimate of population the mean and variance than Simple Random Sampling...

Development of a CZT-Silicon Detection System in Support of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty

Creator:: Alhawsawi, Abdulsalam M.
Abstract:: The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) bans all nuclear explosion tests for military or civilian purposes. The International Monitoring System (IMS) was established to verify compliance with the treaty. It consists of several monitoring stations that detect: seismic activities, hydrocoustic activities, infrasound waves, and radionuclide particles and noble gases. Radioxenon detection...

Stress Physiology in Free-ranging Female African Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) : Environmental Drivers, and Immunological and Infection Consequences

Creator:: Spaan, Johannie M.
Abstract:: Fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (FGMs) are commonly used as indicators of an animal’s stress response in behavioral and eco-physiological studies. Stress in wild animals represents an immediate measure of the physiological response to changes in the environment, and, potentially, a prospective assessment of the animal’s health and well-being. In wild mammals,...

Estimation of the setup accuracy of a surface image-guided stereotactic positioning system

Creator:: Meng, Lu Zheng
Abstract:: Purpose: Stereotactic radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery deliver radiation precisely to tumors, using special equipment to position and demobilize patients. The VisionRT system, with its component AlignRT, is a non-invasive stereotactic positioning and tracking system that uses cameras to capture infra-red images of patients, and process these images, to obtain...

Assessing the Impacts of Size, Structure, and Surface Chemistry on the Toxicity of Two High Production Organic Nanomaterials using the Embryonic Zebrafish Model

Creator:: Meredith, Ailcea N.
Abstract:: The low risk and sustainable implementation of nanotechnology requires understanding how nanomaterial physicochemical properties influence their toxicity. Major drivers of toxicity need to be avoided while maximizing product efficacy so nanomaterials can be produced to best serve their applications and be of low risk when intentionally or unintentionally released into...

Patch dynamics of desert fishes in the arid wetlands of western Utah

Creator:: Sáenz, Jessica
Abstract:: The conservation of declining desert fish species requires the identification of relations between fish population dynamics and their environments. Dynamic occupancy modeling, an approach that requires less information than traditional mark-recapture studies, may help identify important factors affecting population processes and aid desert fish conservation and restoration efforts. I used...

Relative effective dose risk based on medical diagnostic modalities at the Nebraska Medical Center

Creator:: Petrocchi, Michael D.
Abstract:: The use of medical diagnostic imaging involving ionizing radiation has drastically increased in recent years causing concern about possible long term consequences such as the induction of cancer. Recognizing this recent trend, the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the Nebraska Medical Center commissioned this study in order to determine effective...

Performance validation of a prototype skin contamination detector via use of very thin thermoluminescent dosimetry

Creator:: Kaiser, Krista
Abstract:: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) sets regulations for specific depths in the human skin for exposure to highly localized radioactive particles known as hot particles. This research determines the dose rate to a 10 cm² area with a density thickness of 1 mg/cm² at depths representing shallow dose, lens of...

Evaluating the presence of radium-226 in soil surrounding a coal-fired power plant using the multi-agency radiation survey and site investigation manual (MARSSIM)

Creator:: Herring, Thomas A. (Thomas Andrew)
Abstract:: Coal-fired power plants constitute a significant source of energy production for the United States, and are projected to do so for decades to come. Most of the scrutiny coal-fired power plants receive is in the form of environmental concerns regarding green house gas emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and...
