  • Some biochemical studies of phenylmercuric acetate and mercuric acetate toxicity in rats

    Creator:
    Ellis, Robert William
    Abstract:
    Biochemical studies of phenylmercuric acetate (PMA) and mercuric acetate toxicity in rats carried out during this investigation were (1) the metabolism of ²⁰³Hg(Ac)₂ and ²⁰³Hg-PMA within kidney and liver tissues following oral ingestion, (2) the effect on some soluble enzyme activities and determinations of ²⁰³Hg binding in the enzyme fractions,...

  • Organic Crystalline Solids : Investigating their Capability, Storage Mechanism and Structural Evolution in Dual-Ion Batteries

    Creator:
    Rodríguez Pérez, Ismael A.
    Abstract:
    Widespread installation of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, has been delayed by the lack of suitable stationary energy storage solutions. Current large-scale technologies, such as pumped hydro and compressed air, are geographically restricted. This is where electrochemical energy storage - batteries or hybrid capacitors can play a...

  • Studies on copper metabolism in the cotton rat Sigmondon hispidus texianus

    Creator:
    Milne, David Bayard
    Abstract:
    The effects of different levels of copper in the diet on growth rates, blood and liver copper concentrations, hemoglobin levels, and cytochrome c oxidase activities were determined in the cotton rat. The response of the cotton rat to different levels of copper was analagous to that of the common laboratory...

  • Metabolism of copper in blood and liver as influenced by species and diet

    Creator:
    Milne, David Bayard
    Abstract:
    Copper in blood and liver can be divided into several fractions. Copper in blood is about evenly divided between erythrocytes and plasma. Normal concentrations for most species range between one and two parts per million. Plasma copper is mainly a copper protein, ceruloplasmin and a loosely bound form, reacting directly...

  • New Graphite Intercalation Chemistry with Ethers and Amines

    Creator:
    Zhang, Hanyang
    Abstract:
    Novel donor-typed ternary graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) are synthesized and characterized containing (1) pyrrolidinium cations with DMSO co-intercalates; (2) alkali metal cations with crown ether co-intercalates; and (3) alkali metal cations with polyethylene glycol co-intercalates. Structural and compositional data are obtained for the stable products. A new ether-amine co-intercalate exchange...

  • Structure-property Relationships of Transition Metal Oxides Containing Precious Metals

    Creator:
    Hapuraja Pathirannehelage, Vidhara H. P.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents a study of structure-property relationships within 3d/4d metal oxides containing precious metals through detailed structure refinements using high-resolution neutron and X-ray diffraction data along with exploration of the resultant properties. Oxides of 4d or 5d transition metals tend to show new topological phases due to significant spin-orbit...

  • Gene Activation Strategies in Filamentous Fungi for Natural Products Discovery

    Creator:
    Adpressa, Donovon A.
    Abstract:
    Fungi have long been a prolific source of clinically approved drugs. The antibiotic penicillin, the cholesterol lowering statins, and the immunosuppressant cyclosporine have changed the treatment of human diseases in the last century. Recently, genome analysis of filamentous fungi has revealed that the biosynthetic potential for natural product expression is...

  • Use of Targeted and Non-Targeted Analysis to Study Complex PAH Environmental Mixtures

    Creator:
    Chibwe, Leah
    Abstract:
    Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants formed from the incomplete combustion of organic material. These contaminants are of concern because of their widespread presence in the environment and toxic properties. In addition, PAHs encompass a class of diverse compounds with varying physicochemical properties and exist in the environment as...
