Studying Structure-Nanoaggregation Relations of Polyaromatic Molecules in the Bulk Oil Phase and at the Oil-Water Interface Using Molecular Dynamics Simulation
DownloadSpring 2014
The detection, identification and characterization of early stage molecular association of polyaromatic molecules into nanoaggregates, where these nanoaggregates represent the first level of molecular clusters or building blocks are critical in areas such as design and fabrication of advanced 3-D...

The Effects of Elements of Cardiometabolic Syndrome on Metformin Disposition: Obesity and Hyperlipidemia
DownloadFall 2015
The influences of obesity, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass bariatric (RYGB) surgery and hyperlipidemia on metformin pharmacokinetics (PK) were investigated. A sensitive and novel HPLC-UV reverse phase assay method was developed and utilized. Detection and mass characterization for metformin metabolites...

Heterogeneity of surfaces is often included in mathematical treatments of colloid transport and deposition as an afterthought, if at all. Most previous models of colloid transport and deposition have employed idealizations and simplifications such as assuming smooth collector surfaces with...

Background: Functional mobility is an important factor associated with quality of life. However, it is often compromised in individuals with obesity due to changes in body function and structures. With excessive adipose tissue accumulation, some individuals have a shifted center of mass,...

The prevalence of obesity worldwide has increased in the last few decades. The risk of obesity comes from its association with various clinical diseases especially cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. In this thesis, we assessed the expression of some drug metabolizing enzymes and transport...

The Relationship (or Lack Thereof) Between Weight Loss and Health-Related Quality of Life in the Severely Obese
DownloadFall 2014
The impact of weight and weight loss on health-related quality of life (HRQL) in obese individuals and, in particular, the severely obese, is poorly understood. We completed a meta-analysis of published weight loss intervention trials; conducted cross-sectional analyses to examine...

Background. Tools and resources (TRs) can help to prevent obesity in children, particularly in settings that are accessible to families and well-aligned with chronic disease prevention, such as primary care. To date, little is known about the TRs that primary care providers (PCPs) currently use...

Most current models for the deposition of aerosol particles in the human lung are based on a Lagrangian reference frame, which is ill-suited for modeling transient eects. Deposition models based on an Eulerian reference frame are much better at capturing instantaneous time-dependent eects, though...
