Abstract:

Dans cette thèse, sur la base de l'approche du mode local "étendu" et de la théorie générale de la substitution isotopique, nous obtenons un ensemble de relations analytiques simples entre les paramètres spectrocopiques (fréquences harmoniques, coefficients d'anharmonicité, paramètres rovibrationels, différents types de paramètres d'interaction de Fermi et de Coriolis) des molécules de CH2D2, CH3D et CHD3. Tous ces paramètres sont exprimés en termes de relations simples à partir des paramètres spectroscopiques de la molécule mère CH4. Des calculs tests avec des relations isotopiques montrent q

Abstract:

In the event that a radiological dispersal device (RDD) is detonated in the U.S. or near U.S. interests overseas, it will be crucial that the actors involved in the event can be identified quickly. If irradiated nuclear fuel is used as the dispersion material for the RDD, it will be beneficial for law enforcement officials to quickly identify where the irradiated nuclear fuel originated. One signature which may lead to the identification of the spent fuel origin is the isotopic composition of the RDD debris. The objective of this research was to benchmark a forward model methodology for predic

Karymshina Caldera, the largest (25 km x 15 km) caldera in Kamchatka, produced an estimated 800 km 3 of high-silica rhyolitic ignimbrites and post-caldera extrusions, which erupted 1.78 and 0.5-0.8 Ma, respectively.

An injection technique, in which undisturbed soil cores are labelled with ³²P to study dissolution of phosphate fertilisers in the soil, was evaluated in field and glasshouse trials. When ³²P was injected between 0-150 mm depths of the undisturbed soil columns and fertilisers applied at the surface, the amounts of fertiliser P dissolved, as measured by the increases in the exchangeable P pools, were overestimated. Three possible reasons were suggested: (i) the interaction between surface-applied fertiliser, ³²P injected through the whole soil column, and the vertical decline in root density, (

Abstract:

This study developed an understanding of hydrological processes within the Cressbrook Creek catchment of the upper Brisbane River, in particular for the alluvial aquifers. Those aquifers within the lower catchment are used for intensive irrigation, and have been impacted by long-term drought followed by flooding. The study utilised water chemistry, isotopic characters and hydraulic measurements to determine factors such as recharge, links between creeks and groundwater, and variations in water quality. The catchment-wide study will enable improved management of the local water resources.

This dissertation is concerned with the development of mathematical aquifer models that combine hydrological, hydrochemical and isotopic data. One prerequisite for the construction of such models is that prior information about the variables and parameters be quantified in space and time by appropriate statistical methods.

The available geostatistical methods are extended to deal with the problem at hand. In particular, a three-dimensional interactive geostatistical package

High nitrogen discharge from mining sites has been an environmental issue that has been closely studied in the recent years. The environmental effects of high nitrogen discharge are mainly eutrophication, but can also lead to changed species composition and algae blooms. Nitrogen is a highly abundant element and is the most abundant element in the atmosphere, where 78% by volume is present as dinitrogen (N2 ). Nitrogen is present in reduced form in all organic life as ammonium (NH4 + ). Nitrogen is also present in reduced form as nitrate (NO3 - ) or nitrite (NO2 - ) in most aquatic systems. B

Previuosly published calculations showed that, in order to describe 13Be and 14Be simultaneously, 13Be had to be either bound, or have a p-shell ground state, which is not consistent with the experimental data.

Consequently, the diffusion of isotopes (e.g., 14C, 2H and 18O) between aquifers and confining layers needs to be considered in such conditions.

Abstract:

The present dissertation seeks to deepen our understanding of hydrogen transfers and especially C-H bond activations in enzymes. Hydrogen transfers are ubiquitous in chemistry and biology and a thorough understanding of how they occur and what factors influence them will facilitate developments in biomimetic catalysis, rational drug design, and other fields. A particular difficulty with H-transfers is the importance of nuclear quantum effects to the reaction, particularly tunneling. The overall scope of the work here aims to examine how experimental kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) can be interp

Abstract:

The present thesis describes the results of an experiment which was performed at the GSI laboratory, Darmstadt, Germany in September 2009, aiming at studying neutron-rich nuclei in the region of lead nuclei. In the introduction the main modern research lines on nuclear structure are briefly described. A particular attention is devoted to the study of exotic nuclei, i.e. of nuclei far from the valley of stability. They are one of the most important themes of research in nuclear physics since their study may point out details of the nuclear interaction not easy to disentangle investigating only

Abstract:

PANcreatic DERived factor (PANDER, FAM3B) is a member of a superfamily of FAM3 proteins that are uniquely structured and strongly expressed from the endocrine pancreas and co-secreted with insulin. Unique animal models available to our lab have indicated that PANDER can induce a selective hepatic insulin resistant (SHIR) phenotype whereby insulin signaling is blunted yet lipogenesis is increased. The complexity of the biological networks involved with this process warranted the logical approach of employing quantitative mass spectrometry based proteomic analysis using stable isotope labeling o

Abstract:

Le Crétacé est décrit comme la période la plus chaude des derniers 300 millions d’années. La circulation océanique et l’origine des eaux profondes alimentant les bassins restent mal connues pour le Crétacé, alors qu’elles sont capitales dans la compréhension du rôle de l’océan dans l’évolution du climat à cette époque. Les isotopes du néodyme (Nd) permettent de tracer la circulation océanique et les échanges entre les masses d’eau, et ont été utilisés pour explorer la circulation océanique globale des océans actuels et dans le passé. La composition isotopique en Nd (εNd) des océans dérive de c

Abstract:

My research focuses on reconstructing past climate in southern Arizona using cave deposits called speleothems. However, this necessitates a broader perspective than simply a geochemical time series, and therefore, I also investigate modern cave systems using a combination of modeling and observational datasets. Finally, cave deposits are fundamentally non-renewable resources, and sampling for past climate reconstruction can be destructive, unlike other cave uses. My last investigation is focused on developing possible best practice recommendations for paleoclimate scientists and other cave sta

Abstract:

This thesis presents the development of a model of the Medical Isotope Production Reactor (MIPR): a conceptual Aqueous Homogeneous Reactor (AHR). The model is a point kinetics model with zero and one-dimensional thermal hydraulic feedbacks. Three versions of the model of increasing complexity are presented and a number of scenarios are modelled with each version. The results of these simulations shows the stability of the reactor against reactivity insertions caused by the strong negative reactivity feedbacks inherent to AHRs. The first version of the model is modified using intrusive polynomi
