Aquatic nanotoxicity testing: Insights at the biochemical, cellular, and whole animal levels
DownloadFall 2013
Aquatic organisms are susceptible to waterborne nanoparticles and there is only limited understanding of the mechanisms by which these emerging contaminants affect biological processes. The unique properties of nanomaterials necessitate evaluation of standard toxicity testing techniques to...

Arsenic is a widespread environmental contaminant whose toxicity depends on its valence and its chemical form. Arsenic species have been typically determined using high pressure liquid chromatography coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICPMS), however ICPMS cannot...

Hydrotreating is the response to the necessity of a cleaner feed for downstream processes and reduced pollution. Hydrotreating catalysts are vital in this process; hence catalyst deactivation is a key issue. The principal objective of this research was the experimental study of hydrotreating...

An organoarsenic compound, 3-nitro-4-hydroxyphenyl arsenic acid (also known as Roxarsone), has been used as a feed additive. Roxarsone was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to control diseases in poultry, and to improve weight gain, feed efficiency, and meat pigmentation....

Benign-by-Design: Synthesis of Engineered Silicon Nanoparticles and their Application to Oil Sands Water Contaminant Remediation
Download2013-11-29
Iqbal, M., Veinot, J.G.C., Purkait, T.K., Goss, G.G.
Oil sands are naturally occurring mixtures of sand or clay, water, fine silts, and bitumen. The oil sands extraction process consumes large volumes of water (i.e., ca. 3 barrels of fresh water for every 1 barrel of oil). Following the extraction of bitumen from the oil sands, a tailings slurry...

Chicken feathers are byproduct of poultry industries and except some minor low end application, they are generally dumped into landfills. An effort has been made to utilize this by-product by transforming them into nano-reinforced bioplastics which is not only a solution to feather waste disposal...

The objective of this thesis is to design nanoparticle (NP)-based drug delivery systems suitable for treatment of bone diseases. Two types of nanocarriers, (1) polymer coated bovine serum albumin (BSA) NPs and (2) lipid based NPs (micelles and liposomes) were investigated. The BSA NPs were...
