▼ This study looks at the properties of glycerol/citric
acid as they are affected by the
length and temperature of the bake used to facilitate the condensation reaction that creates
the polymer. In particular, the length of time required for the polymer to break down in
the presence of water, both humidity and submersion, was examined. Given the degradable
nature of the glycerol/citric
acid it was examined for suitability as a replacement for
Bitusize (emulsified asphalt) in the making of degradable flower pots. It was found that the
Bitusize did not act as a binder in the flower pots, but as a water repellant, thus the
glycerol/citric
acid polymer was not a suitable replacement material.

▼ High-velocity jetting of
acid in carbonate formations as a stimulation technique is an emerging technology currently being studied for applications in long horizontal wells. One way to achieve this is by using limited entry liners and nozzles designed to control the placement of
acid along the lateral. Previous field-testing has successfully shown desirable
acid distribution along an extended reach well with formation heterogeneities. To support the modeling of this stimulation process, seminal laboratory experiments were previously conducted by jetting 15% (by weight) hydrochloric
acid (HCl) through limestone cores. Preceding experimental studies showed the formation of bulb-shaped cavities at the jetted surface, and the propagation of wormholes from these cavities. These initial studies revealed that the formation of cavities and wormholes are greatly affected by jetting velocity, interstitial velocity, and permeability.
However, the mechanism of both the cavity formation and wormhole propagation in the core samples still remains unclear. This study aims to better understand these processes by performing
acid jetting laboratory experiments with a modified procedure. The new experiments divide
acid jetting in multiples stages to produce data snapshots and computed tomography (CT) scan images throughout the cavity and wormhole development in a rock sample. 15% HCl was jetted at constant pressures, with velocities between 107 ft/s and 200 ft/s through six Indiana limestone cores, with permeability measurements ranging from 2.4 mD to 6.9 mD, and porosities around 14%. For each core, multiple jetting stages were conducted until breakthrough stage was reached. Initial interstitial velocity was set at 0.5 cm/min for all cases, which increased to an average of around 1 cm/min around breakthrough point. After each jetting stage, CT scan images and other physical data of the core were obtained before placing it back in the injection setup for the next jetting stage. Injection times for each stage ranged from 1.3 minutes to 4.1 minutes, and each core underwent jetting for three to six stages.
CT scan data of the cores were processed and 3D-rendered, producing high-definition multi-angle snapshots of the rock dissolution progression through time. The results clearly demonstrate that cavities and wormholes develop concurrently during
acid jetting. It was observed that rock samples with higher permeabilities form larger cavities, and similarly would create larger cavities at higher injection rates.
These results are of significant use in future experimental and modeling studies of
acid jetting, which are needed for upscaling to well stimulation design in the field.

▼ Polylactic
acid (PLA), a renewable material, is used widely in a variety of commercial and specialty applications. However, certain limitations such as high temperature stability and brittleness limit its applicability. This problem is addressed by reinforcing PLA with a variety of materials but the process gives rise to different issues in compatibilization due to differences in polarity of materials. In this research, surface of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC's) is modified with lactic
acid and lactic
acid oligomers and are then incorporated into bulk PLA matrix to form nanocomposite films via solvent casting. This thesis includes verification of grafting reactions onto CNC surface via elemental analysis and solid state NMR along with dispersion studies by SEM imaging. The nanocomposite properties are studied with increasing filler content and type of surface modification and a comparison is made with unfilled PLA films. The interphase between the filler and the matrix is studied by evaluating the mechanical properties and trends are established with reference to the graft length. In addition, DSC and TGA analysis of some composites is included to study any deviations in thermal behavior from expected trends

▼ Acid fracturing is a well stimulation strategy designed to increase the productivity of a producing well. The parameters of
acid fracturing and the effects of
acid interaction on specific rock samples can be studied experimentally.
Acid injection data and fracture conductivity measurements obtained in the research presented in this thesis yielded results that qualified and quantified the impact of a specific
acid system on rock samples of varying
acid solubility.
Six rock samples from a carbonate reservoir were labeled A through F to protect proprietary information included in this research. A 2% potassium chloride solution was used for the
acid system and fracture conductivity measurements to prevent clay swelling. Injection temperature, contact time, and injection rate were designed to simulate field treatment conditions. The effects of a chelating agent on fracture conductivity were also studied.
Before and after images of the rock samples indicated that the effect of 15% hydrochloric
acid on the samples was limited but correlated with the rock
acid solubility. Samples E and F had a greater value of
acid solubility and showed noticeable surface etching. Samples A, B, and C had lower values of
acid solubility and did not show signs of surface etching. Sample D was of moderate
acid solubility and showed minimal signs of surface etching. Fracture conductivity did not correlate directly with
acid solubility, but likely was a function of inherent matrix permeability based on leak-off measurements and fracture conductivity measurements. Finally, the fracture conductivity of Sample D increased after exposure to a chelating agent.
Commonly,
acid fracture experimental studies are carried out with outcrop rock samples. The samples have more homogenous properties and without hydrocarbon content. In this study, cores from downhole formation were used. The original condition was preserved as much as possible to simulate real field situations. However, using field rock samples does present challenges not generally associated with outcrop rock samples.
Based on the information gathered from the work presented in this thesis, conclusions were drawn concerning the effectiveness of a 15% hydrochloric
acid treatment in this formation and the challenges of using field rock samples.

▼ Acid fracture stimulation generates higher well production but requires engineering design for treatment optimization. To quantify the cost and benefit of a particular
acid fracture treatment an engineer must predict the resulting fracture???s conductivity, which is based on the etched width created by the injected
acid. Etching occurs along the fracture surface but is based on
acid flowing through the fracture, so an evaluation tool should describe three-dimensional physics and chemistry. Current practice is to estimate conductivity utilizing two-dimensional models. Unfortunately, these models necessarily assume how
acid is distributed in the fracture and often misrepresent the amount of
acid etching upon which the conductivity is based.
A fully three-dimensional modeling tool to evaluate and predict
acid fracture performance across the wide range of carbonate field properties has been developed. The model simulates
acid transport and fracture face dissolution. The
acid transport model includes the solution of the three-dimensional velocity and pressure fields, the non-Newtonian characteristics of most
acid fracturing fluids, and diffusion of
acid toward the fracture surface. The model numerically solves the equations describing the three-dimensional
acid transport and reaction within a fracture to yield the etched width created by
acid along the fracture. The conductivity is calculated with the simulator derived
acid-etched width, using correlations recently developed that reflect the small scale heterogeneity of carbonate rock as it creates etching along the fracture surface.
The performance of an
acid fracture treatment is quantified with conductivity, which is strongly dependent on the etched width created by the
acid. This robust new tool more accurately models the impact of design decisions on the
acid-etched width and provides a rational path for treatment optimization. Cases typical of industry practice are presented that demonstrate the model capabilities.

▼ Acid fracturing techniques have been widely practiced to enhance well productivity and ultimate recovery for low permeability carbonate reservoirs. The success of an
acid fracturing treatment is evaluated based on the productivity-index ratio. The evaluation of an
acid fracturing treatment requires a comprehensive understanding of well completion methods, fracture propagation,
acid fracture conductivity prediction, and post-treatment well performance analysis.
In this study, an integrated evaluation approach is developed to link all these processes in order to have a valid evaluation of a horizontal well multi-stage
acid fracturing treatment. The model includes evaluation of the well completion methods, fracture propagation modeling,
acid fracture modeling, and post-fractured well production prediction. A field treatment is evaluated in this study to illustrate the work procedure of this approach and its capability to handle field application.
From this study, it is concluded that one can apply the integrated approach developed from this research to evaluate an actual field multi-stage
acid fracturing treatment, and help engineers to make better decisions.

Improving bioavailability and bioefficacy of carnosic acid using lecithin-based nanoemulsion system.

▼ Carnosic
acid (CA) is a phenolic terpenoid mainly existed in rosemary, sage and other Labiate herbs. It possesses powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other health-promoting activities for treating degenerative and chronic diseases. The low solubility and dissolution in aqueous environment of carnosic
acid posed a challenge for its application in functional food and accessibility for intestine absorption. The target of my research is to enhance the bioavailability and evaluate bioactivities of carnosic
acid by encapsulated in a lecithin based nanoemulsion system.
The first part of the research is mainly about the investigation of the properties of carnosic
acid and the development of the carnosic
acid nanoemulsion (CA-NE). The CA-NE was formulated by medium chain triglycerides as oil phase, lecithin as the emulsifier and prepared by a two-step high speed-high pressure homogenization method. The produced nanoemulsion possess good stability under various pH and low ionic strength conditions. Storage under different temperatures showed good stability of formulated carnosic
acid nanoemulsion (CA-NE).
The second part of current research is focusing on the bioaccessibility and bioavailability evaluation by in vitro/in vivo models. The pH-stat lipolysis results revealed the nano-emulsified CA was much more bioaccessible than the unformulated CA with 2.8-fold improvement by nanoemulsion system compared with the MCT oil suspension and more than 12-fold compared with the water suspension based on the in vitro lipolysis study. The human gastrointestinal tract (TIM-1) model which simulated the physiological conditions of human upper GI tract revealed that the nanoemulsion greatly improved the oral bioaccessibility of CA by 5.8-fold and indicated a better bioavailability. The pharmacokinetics (PK) study using rats as model animal further showed that the oral bioavailability of carnosic
acid enhanced almost 2.2-fold when encapsulated in the nanoemulsion compared with the unformulated CA suspension. Being the first thorough study on nanoemulsion formulation for carnosic
acid, by applying two complementary simulation models and animal study, the present research elucidated the reason why nanoemulsion encapsulation would influence the bioavailability of carnosic
acid and nanoemulsion proved to be a useful method for improving the oral bioavailability of CA.
The third part of my research evaluated the bioactivities of carnosic
acid after encapsulation by nanoemulsion system. The antioxidant activity of CA after encapsulation by nanoemulsion decreased from the result obtained by the cellular antioxidant assay (CAA) using HepG2 cells, which mainly attributed to the sustained release and longer endocytosis process as proved by the cellular uptake by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The efficacy on the inhibition on inflammation was conducted using lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Results showed significantly enhanced anti-inflammatory ability of CA-NE with inhibiting the pro-inflammatory cytokines NO…

The Role of PlsX in Fatty Acid Synthesis and Acid

▼ Streptococcus mutans is one of the primary
causative agents of dental caries in
humans. S. mutans ferments
dietary sugars in the mouth to produce organic acids. These
acids
lower local pH values resulting in demineralization of the tooth
enamel, leading to
caries. To survive acidic environments, S.
mutans employs several adaptive
mechanisms, including a shift from
saturated to unsaturated fatty acids in membrane
phospholipids.
Evidence suggests that this shift requires de novo fatty acid and
phospholipid synthesis; therefore, understanding these synthesis
pathways is crucial for
understanding how S. mutans adapts to low
pH and causes caries. PlsX is an acyl-
ACP:phosphate transacylase
that links the fatty acid synthesis pathway to the
phospholipid
synthesis pathway, and is central to the movement of unsaturated
fatty
acids into the membrane. It has recently been discovered
that plsX is not essential in S.
mutans. This study explores how
the loss of plsX affects the ability of S. mutans to alter
its
membrane fatty acid profile and survive at low pH.
The plsX
deletion mutant (ΔplsX) is not a fatty acid or phospholipid
auxotroph,
indicating that some alternative pathway is capable of
carrying out the first step of
phospholipid synthesis. Gas
chromatography of fatty acid methyl esters (GC-FAME)
indicates
that deletion of plsX impacts the regulation of fatty acid
synthesis, altering the
length and saturation of fatty acids.
Surprisingly, ΔplsX survives significantly longer
than the parent
strain, UA159, when subjected to an acid challenge of pH 2.5. This
enhanced survival may be due to the increased F-ATPase activity
observed at low pH.
This enhanced F-ATPase activity may be due to
the altered fatty acid profile, or may be part of a response to
membrane stress. Supplementing ΔplsX with exogenous
unsaturated
fatty acids does not restore any wild-type phenotypes; however,
incorporation of exogenous fatty acids is 2-fold greater in ΔplsX,
compared to UA159.
Exogenous oleic acid was observed to decrease
survival in acid challenge for both
ΔplsX and UA159. These results
clearly indicate that the loss of plsX affects both the
fatty acid
synthesis pathway and the acid-adaptive response of S.
mutans.

▼ Currently in the UK, spent nuclear fuel is
reprocessed using the PUREX (Plutonium Uranium Reduction
Extraction) process. This process generates large amounts of
aqueous nitric
acid based waste which is reduced in volume by
evaporation before being stored in stainless steel tanks pending
eventual disposal to a repository after conversion into a solid
wasteform. The corrosivity of nitric
acid solutions towards these
stainless steel storage tanks is strongly affected by the presence
of oxidants that can form in situ if certain dissolved metals such
as cerium, chromium, ruthenium and neptunium are present, which is
invariably the case in nuclear reprocessing plant liquors. Such
liquors are, however,
subject to radiolysis leading to the
formation of nitrous
acid and NOx species in equilibrium with
nitric
acid and water. The redox chemistry of irradiated
reprocessing plant liquors is therefore complex, depending on a
large number of factors including acidity, nitrate ion
concentration, temperature, pressure, radiation dose rate and the
nature/concentration of dissolved species. High acidities, high
temperatures and low dose rates favour the oxidation of species
such as Ce(III). For example, when Ce(IV) forms, the corrosion rate
of stainless steel is strongly increased since the reduction of
Ce(IV) forms a kinetically-favoured path way. Furthermore, the
presence of nitrous
acid (which is radiolytically formed from
nitrate/nitric
acid) can act to reduce potential corrosion
accelerators (e.g. Ce(IV)) to their non-oxidising valency states.
These dependencies are only semi-quantitatively understood at
present, hampering useful prediction of actual effects when
conditions are changed. The research presented within this thesis
is divided between two experimental campaigns which are
interrelated by their applicability to highly active storage tank
conditions; I. An investigation into the conditions which effect
the radiolytic production of nitrous
acid in nitric
acid based
solutions was undertaken. This included the quantitative
measurement of the steady state concentration of nitrous
acid
experienced under different conditions. The conditions investigated
include temperature, dose rate, gaseous headspace and liquor
composition in order to elucidate which factors are of importance
in estimating the concentration of nitrous
acid which can be
expected at the base of a highly active storage tank. The major
result of this campaign was that nitrous
acid data collected could
be used to formulate a g-value of nitrous
acid formation (which was
found to be 0.71) and this value was used to calculate the nitrous
acid production rate expected within a highly active storage tank
which is a pre-requisite of underpinning the corrosion chemistry
within. II. Investigation into the potential formation of in situ
corrosion accelerators in a reprocessing liquor simulant was
undertaken. For this, a bespoke experimental rig has been designed,
built and operated in order to identify the valency of potential
corrosion accelerators at high temperatures…

▼ Arachidonic
acid (ARA) is a long chain polyunsaturated fatty
acid that is routinely added to infant formula with docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA) to support neonatal growth and development. Optimal levels of ARA in formula remain to be determined and are based largely on mean worldwide values in breast milk. The objective of this dissertation research was to determine the role of dietary ARA in neonatal development and to evaluate the optimal level in formula to support proper growth and development. Two studies with neonatal domestic pigs were carried out to achieve this objective. The purpose of the first study was to determine the effect of the dietary ARA level on growth, clinical chemistry and immune function, and on tissue ARA and DHA accretion. On day 3 of age, formula-reared (FR) piglets were assigned to 1 of 6 milk replacer formulas containing ARA/DHA as follows (% fatty
acid (FA)/FA): (a1) 0.1/1.0; (a2) 0.53/1.0; (a3-d3) 0.69/1.0; (a4) 1.1/1.0; (d2) 0.67/0.62; (d1) 0.66/0.33. No significant differences were observed among the FR groups for growth, hemogram, clinical chemistry or measures of immune status. Heart and liver ARA were responsive to dietary ARA while brain and retina were not. Heart ARA was particularly sensitive to dietary ARA. In the second study, we evaluated two ARA oils for potential use in infant formula compared with a third, commercially available ARA oil. Diets were fed on days 3 - 22 of life and supplied ARA at 0.64% FA and DHA at 0.34% FA. We observed no toxicological effects or differences in growth, and concluded that the experimental ARA oils are safe and bioequivalent to the commercially available ARA source. Overall, results from this dissertation research suggest that the dietary ARA level has a negligible effect on growth and development of the central nervous and immune systems when DHA is supplied near the high end of human breast milk levels (1% FA). The unique responsiveness of the heart to dietary ARA level revealed that ARA accretion is limited by dietary supply. Further investigations are warranted to determine the significance of ARA status on immediate and long term cardiac physiology.

▼ The methylene-interrupted, all-cis (Z) bond configuration is overwhelmingly favored in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of vertebrate membranes, particularly the highly unsaturated membranes of electrically-active neural tissue. The hypothesis that hexaene and pentaene homoallylic groups are sterically allowed to follow the groove of a transmembrane [alpha]-helix from bovine rhodopsin using energy minimization (EM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with the GROMOS96 force field was investigated. Docosahexaenoic
acid (22:6n-3) and docosapentaenoic
acid (22:5n-6) were configured along arbitrary, mid-, top-helix paths along helix 2, with the doubly allylic hydrogens directed inward and the ethylenic hydrogens directed out of the helix. It was shown, by performing EM and MD simulations for 22:6n-3 and 22:5n-6, that the rotationally constrained homoallylic regions are more stably contained within the groove than saturated regions. The analyses of the initial conformations of 22:6n3 in phosphatidylcholine-22:6n-3/34:5n-3 and 22:5n-6 in phosphatidylcholine-22:5n6/34:5n-3, and of conformations of 22:6n-3 in phosphatidylcholine-22:6n-3/34:5n-3 obtained after EM showed that the homoallylic regions fit loosely within the groove while the saturated regions are much closer to the groove boundary. Calculations using a configuration with phosphatidylcholine-22:6n-3/34:5n-3 showed that the 22:6n-3 chain can follow the groove nearest a membrane-water interface, while the homoallylic region of the very long chain 34:5n-3 can follow the groove nearer the membrane center, tethered by its extended saturated region. These results illustrate that the homoallylic polyunsaturated fatty
acid motif is not sterically restricted from occupying the groove of a transmembrane [alpha]-helix and provide a testable prediction. The biophysical stability and properties conferred by this configuration was speculated.

▼ In the recent past it was observed that a growing
interest of computer professionals in the field of molecular
biology has resulted into development of computational techniques
and models for experimental data generated in laboratories. Finite
automata, formal grammar and molecular computing can be viewed as a
hope for reducing the huge gap between laboratory experiments and
computational models. Molecular biology experiments with
bio-molecules such as DNA, RNA and protein sequences. Proteins are
produced from DNA. These proteins are molecules made up from twenty
different amino acids. Proteins also carry most functional
activities like regulation and biosynthesis in cells. The important
function of a protein is to interact with other proteins and
molecules to keep the cell alive and interacting with nature.
Biologists wishes to find the biological meaning of some portions
of bio-molecular sequences. The identification and prediction of
these molecules includes identifying sequences, structures and
behavior. Modeling and prediction of biomolecules is very
complicated and it requires all the mathematical, statistical and
computational tools that we can create. The scientists and
researchers have tried various techniques such as Hidden Markov
Model, Artificial Neural Networks, and Natural Language Processing
(NLP) etc for modeling and prediction of biomolecules. In this
research work an attempt is being made to apply the NLP techniques
in the current work for modeling the sequences and structure of
biomolecules from the available biological data in biological field
and to use the proposed techniques for finding the characteristics
of bio-molecules.

▼ Acid fracturing is a stimulation technique that is commonly used by the industry to increase productivity or injectivity of wells in carbonate reservoirs. To determine a feasibility of
acid fracturing treatment for a heterogeneous formation, the effect of rock properties on the created fracture conductivity needs to be investigated experimentally. In this study, the influence of rock lithology, porosity, and permeability on the resultant fracture conductivity was investigated for the Middle Canyon formation.
Six carbonate cores collected from different depths of Middle Canyon interval were selected for this study. The cores had the permeability ranging from 0.07 to 28 md and the porosity ranging from 1.7 to 15.4%. The
acid etching experimental conditions, such as injection rate, reaction temperature, and
acid type, were selected to simulate field treatment conditions. The fracture surface of each sample was scanned before and after the
acid treatment to characterize the change in surface profile and to calculate the etched volume of rock.
The results of the study indicated that the final conductivity values under the maximum closure stress of 4000 psi were similar to each other (6.4 - 13.5 md-ft) for all the cores, regardless the variation in cores’ porosity and permeability. It was also observed that the cores with a lower porosity had a lower decline rate of
acid fracture conductivity with increasing closure stress. Based on the results of this study, it was concluded that
acid fracturing stimulation of the Middle Canyon formation may not be effective to achieve the goals defined by the operator.

▼ Mud
acid, which is composed of HCl and HF, is commonly used to remove the formation damage in sandstone reservoirs. However, many problems are associated with HCl, especially at high temperatures.
Formic-HF acids have served as an alternative of mud
acid for a long period. Several factors may influence the outcome of an acidizing job in sandstone formations. In this research, effects of mineralogy, temperature, and HF concentration were studied. Various clay minerals (kaolinite, chlorite, and illite) were examined to react with formic-HF
acid mixtures which contain different concentrations of HF. Coreflood experiments on sandstone cores featured by different mineralogy with dimensions of 1.5 in. x 6 in. were also conducted at a flow rate of 5 cm
3/min. Formic or acetic acids were used in preflush stage to remove the carbonates. A series of formic-HF
acid mixtures with different ratios and concentrations were tested, and temperature varied from 77 to 350 degrees F. Inductively coupled plasma (ICP), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (19F NMR) were employed to follow the reaction kinetics and products. Besides, acetic-HF
acid system, which is another important alternative of mud
acid, was also investigated to compare with formic-HF acids.
The species and amounts of reaction products of different clay minerals in organic-HF acids depend on mineral type,
acid composition and ratio, and this is further confirmed by coreflood experiments, in which sandstone cores with different mineral compositions give quite different responses to the same
acid mixture. As preflush, formic
acid becomes more effective in removing carbonate minerals in sandstone cores at higher temperatures. In main flush stage, more concentrated HF can react with more clay minerals, but can also cause higher risk of CaF2 precipitate. Both formic-HF and acetic-HF acids are much milder than mud
acid. When reacting with clay minerals, there is no big difference in the behaviors of 13 wt% acetic-HF acids and 9 wt% formic-HF acids, as long as the HF concentrations are the same.

(more)
▼ Unlocking a tight carbonate formation for oil and gas production by multi-stage
acid stimulation is a relatively cost-effective method as an alternative to propped fracturing for production enhancement. Depending on whether treatment pressure is below or above the formation closure stress,
acid stimulation is basically divided into matrix acidizing and
acid fracturing. In this study, practical methodology to evaluate both matrix acidizing and
acid fracturing through treatment monitoring is presented respectively.
For matrix acidizing, monitoring and optimizing a matrix acidizing has been achieved by integrating a forward model used in acidizing design for horizontal wells with a real-time monitoring model for skin evolution during the stimulation. The effect of acidizing is described as an overall skin factor change, and productivity improvement is predicted for the treatment. Then the field treatment data monitored on-site was used to estimate the skin response by treatment injection. History matching procedure of design and actual treatment data will be carried out to update near-wellbore and key wormholing parameters. Through sensitivity study, which parameter should be updated is discussed. Finally optimum rate schedule is identified based on updated parameters.
Meanwhile, for
acid fracturing treatment, new method for real-time monitoring of
acid fracturing, the inverse injectivity vs. superposition time function plot is proposed,
subject to the condition that the treatment pressure is above closure pressure after the breakdown. Combining a linear dual-porosity transient slab model with injectivity concept, actual growing cross-sectional area induced by
acid fracturing treatment can be monitored in real-time. After production starts, linear flow diagnostic approach with rate-transient analysis provides cross-sectional area flowing from matrix, which is compared with the area induced by
acid fracturing during the stimulation. The treatment efficiency provides engineers with additional information as to whether the designed
acid fracturing was performed appropriately under the in-situ closure stress field.
A field case example of both multi-stage matrix acidizing and
acid fracturing
acid in horizontal well are also presented respectively in the study to illustrate the application of the approach developed, and to show the value of the integrated approach to monitor and diagnose
acid stimulation in horizontal wells.

▼ The potential for conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) incorporation into pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) formulations was evaluated. A series of free radical bulk copolymerizations of CLA/styrene (Sty) and CLA/butyl acrylate (BA) were designed to allow the estimation of reactivity ratios. Bulk terpolymerizations of CLA/Sty/BA were also evaluated before moving to emulsion terpolymerizations of CLA/Sty/BA. The polymers were characterized for composition, conversion, molecular weight and glass transition temperature while latexes were characterized for viscosity, particle size, tack, peel strength, and shear strength.
All experiments were performed at 80 °C and monitored with attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. While bulk experiments were monitored off-line, the emulsion experiments were monitored in-line. Absorbance peaks related to the monomers and polymer were tracked to provide conversion and polymer composition data using a multivariate calibration method. Off-line measurements using gravimetry and 1H-NMR spectroscopy were compared to the ATR-FTIR data and no significant differences were detected between the measurement methods.
Pseudo-kinetic models, developed and validated with the copolymer experimental data, were used to estimate reactivity ratios. The copolymer pseudo-kinetic models were extended to a terpolymer pseudo-kinetic model and validated with experimental data. The pseudo-kinetic models incorporated the ability of oleic acid, a common impurity found in CLA, to trap electrons thus influencing the reaction kinetics significantly. The influence of terpolymer composition, chain transfer agent concentration, cross-linker concentration, molecular weight, viscosity and particle size on tack, peel strength and shear strength was investigated by using a constrained mixture design. The final forms of the resulting empirical models allowed the creation of 3D response surfaces for PSA performance optimization. The incorporation of 30 wt.% CLA into a practical PSA application suitable for the removable adhesives category was achieved.

▼ Carbohydrates and their O-sulfates play important roles in biological functions, including cellular recognition and adhesion, neural processes, fibrosis, growth factor regulation, cancer metastasis, and cellular entry of viruses. However, preparation of sulfated carbohydrates remains a synthetic challenge with conventional methods requiring lengthy protection and deprotection steps. Described herein is our work toward the development of a method for the regioselective sulfation of fully unprotected carbohydrates using a borinic acid catalyst. Via an activated 1,2-cis-borinate intermediate, our method was shown to be robust in the sulfation of a range of substrates, including the synthesis of a sulfated galactosylceramide found in mammalian nervous systems. In addition, work on utilizing boronic acids as protective groups for the preparation of sugar fatty acid ester surfactants is also discussed.

▼ As much as 10% of the US population will experience at least one bout of depression within their lifetime. It has been reported that an increased time spent with major depressive
disorder (MDD) results in a decreased volume in the hippocampus. This decreased volume is the result of apoptosis, or programmed cell death. In recent years it has become known that new
neurons (neurogenesis) are continuously born in the hippocampus of humans. In fact, it now appears that antidepressant drug efficacy may be dependent on adult neurogenesis in the
hippocampus. At least six epidemiological studies have shown an inverse correlation between seafood intake and prevalence of mood disorders (p [less than]0.05 or better). There is mounting
evidence that this result is due to fish oils containing the long-chain, poly-unsaturated, omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Although
extensive study has been undertaken using both of these omega-3s together, very little has been done to determine which fatty acid has the greater effect. Although previously thought to be
readily interconvertible, there is mounting evidence that these two lipids are not treated equally in the body. EPA has produced greater cell proliferation over DHA in the B-lymphocyte
cells, and DHA has even been known to cause a decrease at higher concentrations. Differences have also been reported in both molecular and behavioral outcomes. This research tested the
hypothesis that EPA facilitates proliferation and survival of neuronal precursor cells to a greater extent than does DHA. Human neuronal precursor cells were grown in the presence of EPA,
DHA, and varying ratios of EPA and DHA to determine their dose-response relationships. While there were no large effects on proliferation or differentiation, EPA, but not DHA, protected
cells from iron-induced oxidative stress. This protection appears to be, at least in part, the result of altered p53 translocation in EPA-treated cells. Future work will be needed to
determine the role of this molecular protection in the antidepressant activity of EPA.

▼ This study is the first one to examine the reaction of citric
acid with calcite over a wide range of parameters. Its main focus is to study the effects of different parameters such as initial citric
acid concentration and temperature on the citric-calcite reaction.
A rotating disk apparatus was used to study the reaction of calcite (CaC0₃) with citric
acid. Using the rotating disk theory, the calcite dissolution rates in citric
acid solutions were evaluated as a function of rotating speed, initial concentration of citric
acid, concentration of magnesium (Mg²⁺) & Iron (Fe³⁺) ions, temperature, and pressure. In addition, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) technique was used to explore the precipitation mechanism of calcium citrate during the reaction of citric
acid with calcite. Using this technique, several factors affecting the precipitation of calcium citrate were identified.
In this research, citric
acid was found to be an effective stimulation fluid at pH values < 4, rotational speeds of (100-1,000 rpm), initial citric
acid concentration of 1-7.5 wt%, pressure values of 1,000-1,500 psi, and temperatures of 25-50 °C. However, SEM analysis has shown that calcium citrate precipitation occurred during the reaction at the calcite disk. The precipitation of calcium citrate was found be function of disk rotational speed, initial citric
acid concentration, and the concentration of both Mg²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions. More calcium citrate precipitated at high rotational speeds and high initial citric
acid concentration. The presence of both Mg²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions minimized the precipitation of calcium citrate.
The rate of calcite dissolution in citric
acid was found to be mainly dependent on the rotational speed. In general, at low rotational speeds, below 500 rpm, the calcite dissolution is mainly governed by the mass-transfer rate, while at high rotational speed, above 500 rpm, it is controlled by the surface-reaction rate. The mass-transfer and the surface-reaction mechanism were investigated thoroughly.
Using the rotating disk theory, the overall mass transfer coefficient was determined at various rotational speeds, initial citric
acid concentrations, and temperature values. The effective diffusion coefficient of citric as was determined at various citric
acid concentrations and various temperature values. In addition, the apparent activation energy of calcite dissolution in mass-transfer regime was found to be 37.9 kJ/mol. Finally, a simplified expression was developed to model the reaction kinetics of citric
acid with calcite. The model parameters: reaction order, and activation energy were found to be 0.833 and 63.1 kJ/mol, respectively.
This study highlights the importance of the initial
acid concentration, temperature, and calcium citrate precipitation on the citric
acid reaction with calcite. Another important outcome is the effect of various key parameters on the performance of citric
acid as a stand-alone stimulation fluid at conditions similar to those present in a typical field case.

▼ Soybean seeds, valuable feed and food resources, have high protein and oil contents, with a fairly balanced amino
acid profile and abundant essential fatty acids (FA). Linolenic
acid (18:3), an essential [omega]-3 type of FA, makes up to 8% of typical soybean seed oil. In humans, [omega]-3 FAs play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development. Glycine soja typically has twice as much 18:3 as soybean. However, very little is known about the genetic regulation of high 18:3 in G. soja. The role of microsomal FAD2 and FAD3 as well as DGAT, PDAT and PDCT genes in 18:3 accumulation in G. soja seeds was investigated. Structural and functional analyses of the genes were carried out. The relative greater contribution of PDAT in the final acylation step of triacylglycerol synthesis might be partially responsible for the higher 18:3 content in G. soja seeds. Also, the continuous distribution of phenotypes and large environmental influence indicate 18:3 is multigenic. Breeding for increased 18:3 seed content with G. soja as the donor has an impact on other traits of importance. In addition, 18:3 in seeds is usually oxidized by lipoxygenases, resulting in the development of undesirable flavor and aroma. Soybean seeds contain three lipoxygenases encoded by Lox1, Lox2 and Lox3. Null alleles have been identified. Previous studies determined that a missense mutation rendered Lox2 inactive. The basis of either lox1 or lox3 mutation was not known. The genetic basis of lox1 and lox3 mutant alleles was determined, and molecular markers that allow efficient selection for lox1, lox2 and lox3 mutant alleles were developed.

▼ Different types of Brønsted acid catalysts are commonly used in a wide variety of organic transformations and are of continuing interest because there is a general need to carry out reactions in a faster and higher yielding manner with greater selectivities. Phosphoric acid derivatives, with their fairly strong acidity and structural flexibility that enables them to be incorporated into rigid organic frameworks, are one of the most efficient and versatile classes of Brønsted acids. Herein, a novel type of electrostatically enhanced phosphoric acids that contain positively charged ion centers are synthesized and studied. The activities of achiral phosphoric acids with alkylated pyridinium ion moieties were examined in a variety of organic transformations. In addition, the activities and enantioselectivities of a series of chiral phosphonium ion tagged phosphoric acids were also evaluated in several different organic reactions. The study of electrostatically enhanced phosphoric acids was found to provide promising avenues for developing novel Brønsted acid catalysts.

▼ The Western wildfire Experient for Cloud chemistry, Aerosol absorption, and Nitrogen (WE-CAN), an NSF funded multi-platform campaign, launched with the goal of expanding scientific knowledge of the complex chemical reactions taking place inside biomass burning plumes. As a part of the WE-CAN 2018 field campaign this investigation focuses on the diurnal cycles of nitrous and nitric
acid in fresh and aged smoke plumes from the Rabbit Foot Fire in the Salmon-Challis National Forest, ID. The measurements of nitrous and nitric
acid in smoke plumes were made with a dual Mist Chamber/Ion Chromatograph system installed in the NOAA CSD mobile laboratory. From these measurements we observe a clear distinction between daytime and nighttime levels of nitrous and nitric
acid in smoke plumes. Nitrous
acid levels peaks in the early morning hours, as high as 2ppb, and dissipates a few hours after sunrise to ~50pptv. In contrast, nitric
acid levels are highest in aged smoke, 0.5 ppb, and lowest during the nighttime hours, ~20pptv. We also observe a high level of variability in individual plumes. Sample to sample concentrations of nitrous and/or nitric
acid vary as much as 50%. Additionally, the two species increase both in and out of phase with one another with no distinct pattern. The ratio of the two species is a useful metric for determining the age or level of chemical processing the plume had undergone. Most prominently, we observe the rapid production of HNO3 outpaced the production of HONO during both day- and nighttime regimes.

EFFECT OF RATION ON FATTY
ACID PROFILES IN BEEF

Fall 2010
There are a number of agricultural by-products produced throughout the food production chain that retain some nutritive value, and as such, could be utilized as livestock feeds in a sustainable system. Many of these by-products are composed of complex carbohydrates that can be bio-transformed through the rumen into high quality protein for human consumption. Ruminal bio-conversion of rice bran, almond hulls, and spent brewers grains means that there will be less of these materials occupying limited space in landfills, and would also serve as a bioremediation measure for these ???industrial bio-hazardous materials??? as described by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This study was conducted to assess the impact of agro-industrial by-products as feeds on the nutritional value of beef as reflected in fatty
acid profiles, including brewer???s grains, rice bran and almond hulls, all by- products common to the Western Region of the United States. These finishing rations were contrasted to grass-fed and grain-fed cattle, two
viii
conventional practices with known effects on lipid profile. The higher energy rations (grain and brewer???s grain) increased the efficiency of weight gain and reduced days on feed, while the lower energy diets of grass-only and rice bran/almond hulls significantly altered the fatty
acid profile in the final meat product in a manner that can be considered beneficial to human health. The grass-finished and rice bran/almond hull ration decreased the total lipid content, while increasing conjugated linoleic
acid (CLA) and omega-3 fatty
acid concentration. In addition, rice bran and almond hulls achieved a more beneficial SFA ratio, similar to grass-finished beef, with a lower concentration of cholesterol elevating C14:0 myristic
acid and a higher concentration of cholesterol neutral C18:0 stearic
acid. The use of agro-industrial by-products like rice bran and almond hulls not only supports a healthier lipid profile, but increases the average daily gain, therefore decreasing the days on feed as compared to grass. Although the brewer???s grain by-product did not produce a significantly different lipid profile from the grain ration, it did tend to have a better overall lipid profile than the traditional grain-fed beef. In an effort to produce protein that is affordable, nutritious and sustainable, agricultural by-products can be used as feeds to improve the nutrition and efficiency of production while decreasing the impact on the environment.

▼ Formic acid and nitric acid have been found to
contribute to aerosol formation and are key components of acidity
in the troposphere. Tropospheric measurements of these species are
often limited, resulting in major uncertainties when assessing
their effects on the climate. Current global chemistry-transport
models significantly under-predict formic acid concentrations,
particularly in the mid-to-high latitudes of the Northern
Hemisphere. Furthermore, large discrepancies exist in the role
played by dinitrogen pentoxide on nitric acid production between
two recently documented models assessing the global nitric acid
budget. In order to accurately constrain the budget of these acids
in the mid-to-high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, it is
crucial that these uncertainties are addressed. In this work,
airborne measurements of formic acid, nitric acid and dinitrogen
pentoxide are presented from across different regions of the
Northern Hemisphere to investigate direct and indirect sources
contributing to the formic acid and nitric acid regional budgets.
Measurements were collected using a Chemical Ionisation Mass
Spectrometer (CIMS) fitted to the Facility for Atmospheric Airborne
Measurements (FAAM) BAe-146 aircraft. Formic acid measurements
within the European Arctic during March and July 2012 would
indicate ocean sources dominate over terrestrial sources
irrespective of seasonality. CH2I2 photolysis and oxidation was
hypothesised as a marine source of formic acid. Modelled estimates
would indicate the CH2I2 reaction route may represent a significant
summer marine source of formic acid within the Fenno-Scandinavian
Arctic. Additionally, low altitude aircraft measurements taken
within the Fenno-Scandinavian Arctic over regions occupied by
wetlands in August 2013 were used to calculate a formic acid
surface flux. Results would suggest formic acid emission from
wetlands may represent up to 37 times greater than its globally
inferred estimate. A flux measurement conducted over a comparable
region in September 2013 observed a negative flux, indicating a
change of this region from a net source to a net sink of formic
acid. The inconsistency of this regional wetland source confirms
the need for in-depth studies on formic acid emission from
wetlands, in order to better understand its contribution to the
regional and global formic acid budget. In a separate study,
significant daytime elevations of N2O5 and HNO3 concentrations were
observed within identified biomass burning plumes off the eastern
coast of Canada. In-plume correlations between N2O5 and HNO3
concentrations observed within these environments suggest N2O5 was
acting as additional daytime source of gaseous HNO3 when subjected
to photolytically-limited conditions. This result has important
implications to ozone production and provides evidence for an
additional daytime source of nitric acid, which must be included in
chemistry models calculating the global nitric acid
budget.

▼ Sialic acids are prevalent in many organisms and facilitate a range of cellular processes in both bacteria and mammals. Whilst a variety of sialic acids are present in nature, N-Acetylneuraminic acid (NANA) is the most common and plays a key role in the pathogenesis of a select number of neuroinvasive bacteria such as Neisseria meningitidis. These pathogens coat themselves with polysialic acids, mimicking the exterior surface of mammalian cells and consequentially concealing the bacteria from the host’s immune system. NANA is synthesised in prokaryotes via a condensation reaction between phosphoenolpyruvate and N-acetylmannosamine. This reaction is catalysed by the domain swapped, homodimeric enzyme, N-acetylneuraminic acid synthase (NANAS). Each NANAS monomer is comprised of two distinct domains; a catalytic domain linked to an antifreeze protein-like (AFPL) domain. This thesis outlines research into the role of the AFPL domain using a range of structural and kinetic analyses to compare variant enzymes to the natural, NmeNANAS enzyme. An investigation was also made into the evolutionary relationships between NANAS and other bacterial sialic acid synthases such as Legionaminic acid synthase and Pseudaminic acid synthase.

▼ This research studied the dietary effect of arachidonic
acid (ARA) on growth performance and immune responses in juvenile grouper (Epinephelus coioides). The test diets used casein as protein source, and contained 9 g/100g lipid. Cod liver oil and arachidonic
acid oil were used to adjust the ARA levels to 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 g/100 g diet in the 5 test diets, respectively. Result of 12-week feeding trial show that the ARA supplementation had no significantly effect on the weight gain of the grouper, although 0.6 % and 0.8% groups showed higher weight gains than other groups. Liver fatty
acid composition of the groupers was affected by dietary ARA. Liver ARA concentration, ARA/EPA and ARA/DHA increased with increasing dietary ARA levels. The immune responses was affected significantly by the dietary treatments. Dietary supplementation of ARA significantly enhanced plasma lysozyme activity. Lysozyme activity was increased with increasing dietary ARA levels. Dietary ARA significantly also enhanced head-kidney leucocytes respiratory burst activity. The respiratory burst activity of the 0.6 % ARA group was significantly higher than the other groups. Dietary ARA significantly enhanced head-kidney leucocyte proliferation and the dosages of 0.6 % and 0.8 % ARA were significantly more effective than the other groups. The blood phagocytic activity of the 0.6 % ARA was significantly higher than the other groups. The blood cytokine IL-1β and TNF-α was significantly higher in the 0.8 % ARA group than the other groups. This research shows that feeding the grouper diets cointaining ARA at an optimal level could significantly increase immune responses of the fish.

▼ In mammalian tissues, cells are surrounded by the extracellular matrix (ECM) – a complex network of proteins, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans (PGs). The ECM regulates numerous crucial processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, migrations, and a variety of signaling events. Synthetic extracellular matrices (sECMs) were developed in an attempt to mimic the properties of natural ECMs, specifically for tissue engineering applications. Several sECMs are not commercially available. We compared these materials side by side in a representative array of assays, to test their biological performances and user-friendliness. Our results indicate that the ECM composition and compliance greatly influence cell behavior. Based on these data, we underline the need for a paradigm shift from classical two-dimensional (2D) culturing to the more relevant, in vivo-like three-dimensional (3D) techniques especially for applications directly translatable to clinical applications. Haloacetate-modified hyaluronan (HA) polymers were synthesized and characterized in an effort to provide a greater variety of sECM components. A novel approach was employed that yielded “chemically-reversed,” electrophilic HA polymers that could be readily crosslinked with a variety of available nucleophiles. The new haloacetate-modified hyaluronan materials show dose-dependent mild cytotoxic effects and appear promising for adhesion prevention or medical device coating. A novel thiol-modified hyaluronan polymer (HASH) was also synthesized. These biomaterials are not crosslinkable, are well tolerated by cell and shows promising results in a rat arthritis model, by slowing down the disease progression rate. sECMs emerged to be particularly suitable for application such as drug screening. To this end, Extracel ™, a hyaluronan and gelatin-based crosslinked hydrogel was used to examine the effect of alpha-substituted lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) analogs. LPA and its synthesizing enzyme autotaxin (ATX) were associated in numerous studies with aberrant cellular behavior, mostly associated with cancer and tumorigenicity. The compounds tested show cell-line dependent and LPA receptor-specific effect in cell proliferation assays. Further studies that address modulation of cellular invasiveness and metastatic potential are needed for a complete profiling of these chemicals.

▼ Plant hormone abscisic
acid (ABA) plays a main role in coordinating various stress signals in plants. ABA regulates the expression of genes and activities of enzymes in response to various stress conditions. In the following studies we were able to study the ABA mediated regulation of enzymes in plants. Using in-gel activity analysis we identified that ABA regulates the activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AAT), an enzyme involved in nitrogen assimilation and carbohydrate metabolism. Our results indicate that phosphorylation of AAT by SnRK2.2 and 2.3 kinases results in down regulation of AAT2 and AAT3 isozyme activities in Arabidopsis. AAT was identified as a negative regulator of drought stress and <i>aat</i> mutant plants showed improved survival following drought conditions. Using in-gel staining method we were able to visualize sugar phosphatases like fructose 1-6 bisphosphatase family, sedoheptulase-1,7-bisphosphatase, inositol mono phosphatases; protein serine/threonine phosphatases, protein tyrosine phosphatases and studied their response to ABA and drought stress. Fructose-1-6 bisphosphatase family of phosphatases were identified to be induced by ABA in Arabidopsis and rice.
N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is present on glycoproteins and as post translational modification (PTM) in cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins. N-acetylglucosamine is removed from target proteins by hexosaminidases. Little is known about the hexosaminidases in plants. Using in-gel activity analysis we were able to identify an ABA induced Beta-hexosaminidase with a neutral pH optimum in soybean.
The nuclear DNA in chromatin is associated with basic proteins called histones. The N-terminal tails of histones contain different PTMs including methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, acetylation, ADP-ribosylation and glycosylation. The histone lysine methylation can serve as a binding site or repel/disrupt the histone binding proteins. The effector/reader proteins specifically recognize the post translational modifications and responsible for the downstream process. Many histone methyl modification effector proteins have been characterized but very few proteins whose binding was disrupted by the presence of a PTM were identified. Using peptide pulldown analysis, far western analyses we identified a WD-40 domain containing histone binding (HB01) protein as direct interactor of unmodified histone. The presence of post translational modifications disrupts HB01 binding to histone H3.

▼ The study of target proteins in live cells is
fundamentally important to understanding their molecular roles in
biological processes. Applications of cell permeable small
molecules in bioorthogonal reactions have been improved to
selectively label proteins tag for the purpose of protein
interaction analysis. Bioorthogonal reaction is defined as the
chemical reactions that do not react or interfere with biological
systems. Functional groups that involve in bioorthogonal reactions
must selectively react with each other under physiologically
conditions. Also using a small reactive molecule in bioorthogonal
reactions can prevent the structural perturbation of the proteins
that wants to be monitored. Molecule fluorophores can provide
dynamic information on cell surface interactions due to their small
size, low detection limits and environmental sensitivity. Boronic
acids have been applied in the construction of receptors and
chemosensors for a range of biologically important species,
especially saccharides. In 2009, for the first time, Schepartz
utilized a rhodamine–derived bisboronic acid sensor (RhoBo) as a
reversible, selective and non-toxic sensor to selectively label a
specific tetraserine peptide. In this thesis, simple
monoarylboronic acids with potentially four covalent, reversible
points of attachment were designed and synthesized to test their
binding affinity to a small peptide tag in a sequence specific
manner. Boronate ester formation between serines and the boronic
acid part of the molecule was believed to potentially increase the
selectivity and stability of imine formation between the lysine and
ketone part of the molecule. Binding affinity of designed boronic
acids towards a selection of chosen peptides was evaluated via the
Alizarin Red S colorimetric assay and UV spectrophotometry and
fluorescence spectroscopy. In Chapter 2 small boronic acid
molecules with Michael acceptors were designed in which the boronic
acid part of the molecule was employed as a way to increase
site-specificity of the thiol-Michael addition reactions towards
small peptide tag containing cysteine and serine residues.
3-Maleimidophenylboronic acid was found to be reactive towards
small peptides containing cysteine and terminal serine residues.
Reaction kinetics were performed to monitor its reactivity towards
the peptide by HPLC-MS and 1H NMR spectroscopy.
