Development and application of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry techniques to investigate platinum chemotherapy agents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Cisplatin (cDDP), the first platinum chemotherapy compound, has been used in cancer chemotherapy in human beings and animals for more than thirty ...
Radioanalytical multi-elemental analysis : new methodology and archaeometric applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Several projects are covered in this dissertation: the application of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and rigorous statistical analyses to the sourcing of Egyptian limestone and Kenyan obsidian, and the ...
Intrinsic dosimetry : properties and mechanisms of thermoluminescence in commercial borosilicate glass
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Intrinsic dosimetry is the method of measuring total absorbed dose received by the walls of a container holding radioactive material. By considering the total absorbed dose received by a container in tandem with the physical ...
Measurement of fatty acids in toenail clippings using GC-MS
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in human health and nutrition. Here, we investigated human toenail clippings as a potential, non-invasive and cumulative biomonitor for fatty acids, and successfully developed a ...
Measurement of trace element levels in noctuid larvae in response to baculovirus infections
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] While a number of studies have examined the effects of viral infections on the trace element status of mammals, very little is known about the roles ...
Determination of trace elements levels in human plasma and radiated mice tongue by inductively coupled plasma-mass-spectrometry (ICP-MS)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
An analytical method that uses a minimum150 μL of human plasma samples for the trace elements Fe, Cu, Zn, Mg and ultratrace elements Mn, Co, Cd, Pb was developed. The method was evaluated using both high resolution sector ...
