Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), popularly known as diamondback moth, is a major pest of brassicaceae crops (e.g., kale, cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbage) throughout the world. Several insecticides have been intensively used during several cultivation cycles and, even in some areas, up to 15 to 20 applications per season have been observed. Besides the problems they may cause to human and environmental health, the frequent use of these products has been associated to the evolution of resistance in P. xylostella populations to various insecticides such as the pyrethroids, carbamates, organophosphates, and even Bacillus thuringiensis. The current study objective was to identify the resistance in P. xylostella populations from Pernambuco State, when exposed to abamectin, methomyl, lufenuron, indoxacarb, and diafentiuron. Concentration-response regressions were established using 2nd-instar larvae of P. xylostella. All P. xylostella populations showed significant resistance ratio (RR) to at least one insecticide. The smallestCL50s values were estimated for abamectin, which varied from 0.01 to 0.74 mg/L and the highest CL50s were estimated for diafentiuron, which varied from 47.9 to 122.2 mg/L. The Bezerro County population presented the highest resistance ratios to indoxacarb (25.3-fold), abamectin (61.7-fold), and lufenuron (705.2-fold), compared to the reference population. TheBonito and Jupi Counties populations were 33.0- and 12.0-times more resistant to lufenuron and abamectina, respectively. These results demonstrate that intensive and indiscriminate use of insecticides in Pernambuco must be a concern, which suggests the immediate establishment of a resistance management program associated to integrated pest management in these areas.
Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), conhecida popularmente como traça-das-crucíferas é considerada a principal praga do cultivo de brássicas (ex: couve, couve-flor, brócolis e repolho) em todo o mundo. Diversos inseticidas têm sido utilizados intensivamente durante o ciclo da cultura, e em algumas áreas já foram detectadas 15 a 20 aplicações por ciclo. Além dos problemas gerados à saúde do agricultor e ao meio ambiente, o uso excessivo desses produtos tem proporcionado o aparecimento de populações resistentes deste inseto-praga a diversos compostos químicos, como é o caso dos inseticidas piretróides, carbamatos, organofosforados e Bacillus thuringiensis. O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar a resistência em populações de P. xylostella do Estado de Pernambuco, utilizando os inseticidas abamectina, metomil, lufenurom, diafentiuron e indoxacarbe. Curvas de concentração-resposta foram estabelecidas usando lagartas de 2º instar de P. xylostella. Todas as populações pernambucanas de P. xylostella apresentaram razão de resistência (RR) significativa a pelomenos um inseticida. As menores CL50s foram registradas para o inseticida abamectina, variando de 0,01 a 0,74 mg/L e as maiores CL50s foram para o inseticida diafentiuron, 47,9 a 122,2 mg/L. A população do município de Bezerros apresentou as maiores razões de resistência 25,3 a indoxacarbe, 61,7 a abamectina e 705,2 a lufenurom, quando comparadas àpopulação suscetível. A população do município de Bonito apresentou uma razão de resistência 33,0 a lufenurom e Jupi 12,0 para abamectina. Estes resultados demonstram que o uso intensivo e indiscriminado de inseticidas na região Agreste de Pernambuco é preocupante, sugerindo o estabelecimento de um programa de manejo da resistência associado ao manejo integrado de pragas nesta área.

Methomyl (Lannate?) is an insecticide from the carbamate group, frequently used in pest control in various types of crops. This compound works inhibiting the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. The use of physicochemical and ecotoxicological analysis is the most efficient strategy for the correct characterization and control of residues of metomil. The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the acute toxicity of methomyl in 96 hours of exposure and, through a sublethal assay of 5 hours, to assess its effect on the activity of acetylcholinesterase present in brain and squeletic dorsal muscle of the Danio rerio fish. The results showed that the LC50-96 found to D. rerio was 3.4 mg/L and it was found through the average of four definitive tests. In vitro assays were used to test the inhibitory action of methomyl directly over soluble AChE, extracted from the squeletic dorsal muscle, with maximum inhibition of 68.57% to the insecticide concentrations of 0.2 mg/L. In sublethal tests with D. rerio, inhibitory effect of methomyl was found over the soluble form of AChE in the squeletic dorsal muscle, both in one and five hours of fish exposure to the insecticide. In both period, the average values of inhibition were around 61%. In the same condition, no significant inhibitory effect of methomyl soluble and membrane AChE of the D. rerio was observed in the 0.42, 0.85, 1.70 and 2.50 mg/L concentrations and in both times of fish exposure

Full textToxicity of several insecticides was determined in vitro on lung adenocarcinoma A549 and neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell lines, with the aim to find out, among stress proteins, reliable and sensitive markers of occupational or accidental exposure. Carbamates (formétanate, methomyl, pyrimicarb), organochlorines (dienochlor, endosulfan), pyrethroid (bifenthrin) and neonicotinoid (imidacloprid) insecticides were comparatively investigated either as pure chemical or as commercial formulations. Measurement of threshold concentrations (LOEC) leading to a significant decrease of the growth-rate in A549 cells showed that organochlorines were the most toxic whereas imidacloprid and methomyl were the less toxic. SH-SY5Y cells were found to be more sensitive than A549. When compared at similar concentration of active principle, commercial formulations were found to be twice to 100 times more aggressive than the respective pure active molecule. In A549, GRP78 stress protein was up-regulated by almost all the insecticides, commercial formulations being more efficient. No such effect was observed in SH-SY5Y. Conversely, cytosolic HSP72/73 stress proteins were somewhat underexpressed in all cases. .

Carbofuran (2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-7yl-methylcarbamate) is a kind of pesticide with nematicide and acaricide power, belonging to the chemical group of benzofuranyl methylcarbamate; methomyl {(R, S)-methyl-N- {[(methylamino) carbonyl] oxy} ethanimidothioate} is also a pesticide with acaricide power, it is inserted into the methylcarbamate oxime chemical group. They present high toxicity, and both are inserted in class I of toxicity and class II of environmental risks. In general, their detection and analytical determinations are carried with chromatographic methods, electrophoretic, fluorometric, spectrophotometric fluorescence X-rays and electroanalytical. In this study, one has made use of boron-doped diamond electrode due to its inherent properties: wide potential range and low adsorption of organic molecules. Thus, one has studied the electrochemical behavior of carbofuran and methomyl using cyclic voltammetry, square-wave voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, being developed methodologies for simultaneous studies by SWV and DPV. Throughout the pH analysis by SWV technique, one observed oxidation process of carbofuran (Ep1 ≈ + 1.3 V vs. EAg/AgCl) and the same process for the methomyl (Ep1 ≈ + 1.6 V vs. EAg/AgCl) in DDB cathodically polarized. A simultaneous methodology using SWV was developed, being the best analytical conditions: pH 1.0 (sulfuric ac. 0.1 mol L-1), f = 150 s-1, ΔEs = 4 mV, ΔEp = 30 mV, td = 10 s, obtaining a linear range of 2.5 x 10-6 to 7.9 x 10-5 mol L-1. Also, an alternative methodology has been developed with the DPV technique. The best VPD analysis conditions that provided the most sensitive voltammetric response were: pH 1.0 (sulfuric ac. 0.1 mol L-1), TI = 0.2, ΔEs = 4 mV, ΔEp = 50 mV, td = 10s, with a linear range of 2.48 x 10-4 to 1.42 x 10-4 mol L-1. This work shows that the two proposed methodologies are feasible. Keywords: methomyl, carbofuran, boron-doped diamond electrodes, voltammetry.
O carbofurano (metilcarbamato de 2,3-hidro-2,2-dimetilbenzofuran-7ila) é um pesticida com ação nematicida e acaricida pertencente ao grupo químico metilcarbamato de benzofuranila, e o metomil [(R, S)-metil-N-(metilcarbamoiloxi) tiocetimidato] é um inseticida e acaricida inserido no grupo químico metilcarbamato de oxima. Possuem alta toxicidade, tendo ambos: classe toxicológica I e classe ambiental II. Em geral, suas detecções e determinações analítica envolvem métodos cromatográficos, eletroforéticos, fluorimétricos, espectrofotométricos com fluorescência de raios-X e eletroanalíticos. Neste estudo se fez uso de um eletrodo de diamante dopado com boro devido às suas propriedades intrínsecas: ampla janela de potencial e baixa adsorção de moléculas orgânicas. Assim, foi estudado o comportamento eletroquímico de carbofurano e metomil usando voltametria cíclica, voltametria de onda quadrada e voltametria de pulso diferencial, sendo desenvolvido metodologias para estudos simultâneo por VOQ e VPD. Através do estudo de pH, realizado pela técnica VOQ, observou-se a oxidação do carbofurano (Ep1 ≈ + 1,3 V vs. EAg/AgCl) e a oxidação do metomil (Ep1 ≈ + 1,6 V vs. EAg/AgCl) em EDDB catódicamente polarizado. Uma metodologia simultânea empregando VOQ foi desenvolvida, sendo as melhores condições de análise: pH 1,0 (ácido sulfúrico 0,1 mol L-1), f = 150 s-1, ΔEs = 4 mV, ΔEp = 30 mV, td = 10 s, obtendo uma faixa linear de 2,5 x 10-6 a 7,9 x 10-5 mol L-1. Também foi desenvolvida uma metodologia alternativa com a técnica de VPD. As melhores condições de análise da VPD que proporcionaram a resposta voltamétrica mais sensível foram: pH 1,0 (ácido sulfúrico 0,1 mol L-1), IT = 0,2 s, ΔEs = 4 mV, ΔEp = 50 mV, td = 10 s, apresentando uma faixa linear 2,48 x 10-4 a 1,42 × 10-4 mol L-1. Os estudos mostram que as duas metodologias propostas são viáveis.

Methomyl is a carbamate insecticide widely used to control pests in crops. It is a potential contaminant in groundwater (half-life of 50 weeks) showing harmful effects to fish, aquatic invertebrates, and mammals, reported several cases of human poisoning, affecting the central nervous system. In general, involves the analytical chromatographic methods, fluorometric, spectrophotometric fluorescence X-rays, and the use of cyclic voltammetry and amperometric biosensors with gold electrode, demonstrating the use of electrochemical methods for determination of methomyl. This study made use of an electrode of boron-doped diamond due to its intrinsic properties: wide potential window and low adsorption of organic molecules. Thus, we studied the electrochemical behavior of methomyl using CV, SWV and DPV, being proposed methodologies for the determination of methomyl by SWV and DPV. Through the study of pH, determined by means of VPD were observed five oxidation processes (Ep1 + 1,2 V, Ep2 + 1,6 V, Ep3 + 1,8 V, Ep4 ≈ +1,5 V and Ep5 + 0,8 vs. EAg/AgCl) on DDB cathodically polarized, being more sensitive P2. A methodology was developed using VOQ, being the best analysis conditions: pH 3.0 (BR buffer 0.1 mol L-1), f = 35 s 1, Es = 4 mV, Ep = 40 mV, td = 10 s and = 1500 rpm, obtaining a linear range of 6,6 × 10 5 a 4,2 × 10 4 mol L-1, However, this method did not provide the acceptable recovery at the concentration studied level for methomyl, according to AOAC-I. The VPD technique was used as an alternative for the determination of methomyl. The best conditions for the analysis of VPD that provided the most sensitive voltammetric response were: pH 2.0 (BR buffer 0.1 mol L-1), IT = 0,2 s, Es = 4 mV, Ep = 50 mV, td =10 s and rpm. The material excellent response preconcentrate allowed the development of an analytical with a linearity range from 5.0 × 10-6 to 4.1 × 10-4 mol L-1 with limits of detection and quantification 1.2 × 10-6 and 4.1 × 10-6 mol L-1, respectively. The sensor showed good repeatability (RSD = 1.1%) and reproducibility (RSD = 1.7%), being feasible with recoveries around 87% for commercial formulations.
Metomil é um inseticida carbamato amplamente empregado no controle de pragas em culturas agrícolas. É um contaminante em potencial das águas subterrâneas (meia-vida de 50 semanas) apresentando efeitos nocivos aos peixes, invertebrados aquáticos e mamíferos, sendo relatados vários casos de envenenamento humano, prejudicando o sistema nervoso central. Em geral, sua determinação analítica envolve métodos cromatográficos, fluorimétricos, espectrofotométricos de fluorescência de raios X, além do uso de biossensores amperométricos e voltametria cíclica com eletrodo de ouro, demonstrando o uso de metodologias eletroquímicas para determinação de metomil. Neste estudo se fez uso de um eletrodo de diamante dopado com boro devido às suas propriedades intrínsecas: ampla janela de potencial e baixa adsorção de moléculas orgânicas. Assim, foi estudado o comportamento eletroquímico do metomil usando VC, VOQ e VPD, sendo propostas metodologias para a determinação de metomil por VOQ e VPD. Através do estudo de pH, realizado pela técnica VPD, foram observados cinco processos de oxidação (Ep1 + 1,2 V, Ep2 + 1,6 V, Ep3 + 1,8 V, Ep4 ≈ +1,5 V e Ep5 + 0,8 vs. EAg/AgCl) em DDB catodicamente polarizado, sendo P2 mais sensível. Uma metodologia empregando VOQ foi desenvolvida, sendo as melhores condições de análise: pH 3,0 (tampão BR 0,1 mol L 1), f = 35 s 1, Es = 4 mV, Ep = 40 mV, td = 10 s e = 1.500 rpm, obtendo uma faixa linear de 6,6 × 10 5 a 4,2 × 10 4 mol L-1, contudo esse método não apresentou recuperação aceitável para o nível de concentração de metomil estudado, conforme AOAC-I. A técnica de VPD foi utilizada como uma alternativa para a determinação de metomil. As melhores condições de análise da VPD que proporcionaram a resposta voltamétrica mais sensível foram: pH 2,0 (tampão BR 0,1 mol L 1), IT = 0,2 s, Es = 4 mV, Ep = 50 mV, td =10 s e rpm. A excelente resposta do material pré-concentrado permitiu o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia analítica com uma faixa de linearidade de 5,0 × 10-6 até 4,1 × 10-4 mol L 1 com limites de detecção e quantificação de 1,2 × 10 6 e 4,1 × 10 6 mol L 1, respectivamente. O sensor apresentou repetibilidade (DPR = 1,1%) e reprodutibilidade (DPR = 1,7%), mostrando-se viável com recuperações em torno de 87% para formulações comerciais.

Full textIn the context of DISPATMO project (forecast study of pollution risks related to the atmospheric dispersal of chemicals), risk studies linked to the fires and the explosions due to chemical storage were conducted. The purpose of this thesis was to perform a thorough kinetic and mechanistic study to determine the gas phase degradation of one of the main component of Tiflex solvent, the 1-methoxy 2-propyl acetate (MPA). Furthermore, the rate coefficients of OH and Cl with a series of alkoxy acetates widely used in painting and coating industries, 2-methoxy-butyl acetate (2MBA), 3-methoxybutyl acetate (3MBA), methoxy ethyl acetate (MEA), ethoxy ethyl acetate (EEA) and n-pentyl acetate (n-PA), were determined. The experiments were performed employing the pulsed laser photolysislaser induced fluorescence technique, a low pressure flow tube reactor coupled with a quadrupole mass spectrometer and an atmospheric simulation chamber coupled with a GC-FID, a FTIR and a GC-MS using complementary absolute and relative rate methods. The kinetic data were used to derive the Arrhenius expressions as well as to evaluate the environmental fate of the studied compounds such as their lifetimes and the Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential. Besides, the reaction mechanism was investigated, while the major degradation products and their yields were determined in presence of NO. In addition, the UV-Vis absorption cross sections of MPA, 2MBA and 3MBA were measured in order to evaluate their potential photolysis in the atmosphere. The investigation of the chemical processes and the tropospheric lifetimes of the compounds are used as input data in photochemical atmospheric simulation models and in chemical agent atmospheric dispersion models to evaluate their atmospheric impact

Full textThe reactions of dienes with a number of 1,3-dicarbonyl equivalents have been studied and a cycloaromatization reaction has been developed for the regiocontrolled synthesis of aryl sulfides in a 3C + 3C combination. The role of dienes in Diels-Alder reactions has also been investigated.
A new 4C + 2C annulation reaction has been developed based on the propensity of dienes to undergo Michael reaction with $ alpha$,$ beta$-unsaturated ketones under Lewis-acid catalysed conditions. These Michael adducts in turn were cyclized either with potassium tert-butoxide or with lithium thiophenoxide. Further, the tandem Michael-Claisen annulation reaction can be controlled to give either cis- or trans-fused 9-methyldecalin system with three carbonyl groups which are differently masked. The chemoselective transformations of the carbonyl groups were also described.

River biofilm is a microbial community attaching on biotic and abiotic substrates. It has special contribution to river self-purification. Many studies have found that river biofilms were able to degrade organic pollutants. Methomyl is a carbamate pesticide, and one of the commonly used pesticides. Thus, contamination of methomyl in the aquatic environment may cause toxic effects on environmental organisms and adverse effects on ecosystems. This study would like to investigate the ability of bacteria in natural river biofilms to degrade methomyl and screen bacteria with degradation potential for methomyl. Natural river biofilms were colonized on ceramic discs for 21 days in Tsen-Wen River. Screening culturing was performed for 28 days after collecting natural river biofilms. The degradation test was run for 7 days after screening culturing. Concentrations of methomyl were measured using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that river biofilms on ceramic discs after screening culturing could remove 90.6% of added methomyl in 7 days. After 28-day screening culturing, river biofilms on ceramic discs were removed and attached on loofa sponges (bacterial mixtures A). The bacterial mixtures A could remove 92.16% of added methomyl. After 28-day screening culturing and 7-day degradation test, river biofilms on ceramic discs were removed and attached om loofa sponges (bacterial mixtures B). The bacterial mixtures B could removed 92.4% of added methomyl. The results suggested that long time screening culturing could increase capacity of bacterial mixtures to remove methomyl. The bacterial mixtures A and B were preserved at 25℃, 4℃ and -20℃ for one and three months. The highest capacity of bacterial mixtures A to remove methomyl was preserved at -20℃ for 3 months among those preserved at different conditions, but lower than that of non-preserved bacterial mixtures A. For bacterial mixtures B, the highest capacity to remove methomyl was preserved at -20℃ for one month, but lower than that of non-preserved bacterial mixtures B. Bacterial diversity did not correlated with their ability to remove methomyl. The results indicated that bacterial mixtures preserved at different conditions would cause in a decrease in their methomyl-removal capacity. Three bacterial species were isolated from river biofilms. Only one species identified as Sphingomonas sp. showed ability to remove methomyl with removal rate of 32.51%. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis results showed that bacterial diversity decrease with an increase in screening culturing time for river biofilms. The survival bacterial species after screening culturing may be tolerant to methomyl and have potential for degrading methomyl. The experimental data fitted well with zero order model. Bacterial mixtures on ceramic discs showed the highest capacity to remove methomyl and had degradation half-life of 3.2 days. Concentration of methomyl in river water was estimated as 194 μg/L according to Fugacity model. If river water was contaminated with 194 μg/L of methomyl, it could be removed by bacterial mixtures on ceramic discs, bacterial mixtures A, bacterial mixtures B, and Sphingomonas sp. within 0.8, 1.2, 1.8 or 2.3 hours, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the chemical degradation of the organophosphorus pesticide of parathion and carbamate insecticide of methomyl in the aqueous phase through the Fenton process. With the employment of batch Fenton process, the degradation of the compounds of interest at different pH, initial concentration, humic acid concentration, and Fenton reagent dosages was evaluated. Additionally, the degradation of parathion and methomyl was also studied using dual wavelength UV radiation of 185nm and 254nm. This study found that dual wavelength radiation for 1 hour only had limited effect for parathion and methomyl removal, i.e., 10% and 20%, respectively. The methomyl degradation through Fenton process varies as a function of pH: pH 3>pH 8>pH 7>pH 2≧pH 6>pH 4>pH 5. The parathion degradation variation at different pH were also observed: pH 3>pH 2>pH 8>pH 7>pH 4≧pH 5>pH 6. The Fenton process was found more effective to remove parathion and methomyl at pH 3 compared to pH 7. However, the optimal dosage of Fenton reagents was investigated at pH 7 because the pH value for effluent discharge and receiving water bodies is regulated around neutral range by Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration. At pH 7, the optiaml dosage of Fenton reagents (i.e., molar concentration ratio of H2O2 to Fe2+) for parathion is equal to 3, which results in 50% removal of parathion. Similarly, the optimal dosage for methomyl is 2, which results in 80% removal of methomyl. This study also found that the presence of humic substance has significant impact on pesticide degradation through Fenton process. At pH 3, the existence of humic substance suppressed the methomyl and parathion degradation through Fenton process. At pH 7, the humic substance enhanced their degradation on the contrary.

Abstract This research involves the microencapsulation of methomyl through “interfacial polymerization” to make a capsule suspension (CS) of 10% active ingredient. The reaction employs active ingredient as organic phase, anionic surfactant in water as aqueous solution, diisocyanate as the hydrophobic monomer and diamine as the hydrophilic monomer. The microcapsule product was examined on its physical and chemical properties to assure its quality. The particle size of 90% of this CS was below 10μm. The dispersibility was good after the CS was added into water. After the dispersion is completed, the capsule particle suspended very well in the water within 1 hour and gave only 5% separation after 24-hour standing. The temperature-cycle test showed the stability of this CS with no crystalline formed. The 1-year storage of this CS at ambient temperature showed no crystal and no aggregation formed. The content of active ingredient (a.i.) in the CS was examined under accelerated aging condition at 50 degrees Centigrade. Two-week aging gave a.i. remaining at 96.2%. Four-week aging, however, showed only 30% a.i. left, which indicated the CS is not thermally stable. The second part of this research involves the study of controlled-release rate of the microcapsule. Methyl eugenol was encapsulated with polymer walls at two different thickness. The realases of methy1 eugenol were measured under air stream, dry nitrogen stream and reduced pressure, respectively. While the releases of methy1 eugenol form the capsule under ai and dry nitrogen did not show reasonable pattern, the release rate under reduced pressure was more conclusive. The time needed to release all content of methyl eugenol as uncapsulated technical, thin-wall capsule and thick-wall capsule were 20,24 and 34 hours, respectively.

Oriental fruit flies (Bactrocera dorsalis) are notorious agricultural pests, methomyl has been used to manage B. dorsalis in Taiwan since 1995. Unfortunately, several times of methomyl resistance has been observed in B. dorsalis from field investigation in 2002. In this study, the synergism bioassay, metabolic enzyme activity, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and the ace gene (which can encode AChE protein) molecular assays were used to explore the possible methomyl resistant mechanisms in the methomyl-resistant strain (Meth-R, 140-fold resistance ratio) of B. dorsalis. A well-documented fenitrothion-resistant strain (Fenit-R, 538-fold resistance ratio) was used to compare with the Meth-R and susceptible strains on AChE assays. Synergism tests indicated synergistic ratios toward methomyl at 4.04-fold with piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and 4.82-fold with triphenyl phosphate (TPP) on Meth-R, and there was a 1.7-fold diethyl maleate (DEM) synergistic ratio on Meth-R as compared to the results of the susceptible strain. Enzyme activity results supported the theory that Meth-R had greater activity, close to 1.5-fold in ESTs (by α- or β-naphthyl acetate as the substrates), 1.5- to 2-fold in GSTs (by CDNB or DCNB as the substrates), and 4-fold in MFOs (by 7-ethoxycoumarin as the substrates) over the susceptible strain, which suggests that mixed function oxidases (MFOs), esterases (ESTs), and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are involved in methomyl resistance. No significant difference was found on the AChE activity, AChE inhibition (by using methomyl and paraoxon as inhibitors), and quantitative PCR (qPCR) of ace gene between the Meth-R and susceptible strains. The AChE of the Fenit-R strain was found to be insensitive to the paraoxon inhibitor. Although a point mutation (T659A) located at the post-translational modification region was discovered on the ace gene of the Meth-R; T659A also occurred in the susceptible strain, but with lower gene frequency (susceptible strain: homozygous genotype of T = 0.27, heterozygous = 0.55, homozygous genotype of A = 0.18; Meth-R strain: TA = 0.16; AA = 0.84). T659A might slightly influence the hydrophobicity of AChE precursor protein due to an increase of the hydrophobic results on the C-terminal region. However, there was no correlation between the Meth-R and susceptible strains or among different genotypes of T659A on the results of AChE activity or AChE inhibition assays. As a result, our study indicates that the possible methomyl resistance is the metabolic mechanism in B. dorsalis. The mechanism in methomyl resistance is different from the well-known altered target-site mechanism in organophosphate resistance in Bactrocera spp.

In order to understand the change which pesticide poisoning in rats in this paper, combining forensic toxicology and pharmacokinetics is the idea to design this experiment. Use gastric tube to deliver pesticide methomyl into SD rat’s stomach by different doses. The purpose is to study the residual concentration with time of methomyl in the rat’s body. And the result may be used as pesticide poisoning autopsy judging reference for forensic community. Use a commercial pesticide 24 % methomyl solution to implement the experiment. Methomyl concentration in the gastric contents gradually decrease with time increasing. The concentration in organs besides lung increase first and then decrease over time. The highest concentration approximately reach in 7 to 14 days. The reason is to deduce from diffusion along the concentration gradient, death cycle, degradation and destruction of poison and the action of microorganisms.The influence of diffusion along the concentration gradient, death cycle and the action of microorganisms is more powerful than degradation and destruction of poison in 1 to 14 days in poisoning. After 14 days, the influence of the degradation and destruction of poison is more powerful than the inference of diffusion along the concentration gradient, death cycle and the action of microorganisms. Therefore, the concentration of organs slowly decrease.Besides because the diffusion along the concentration gradient of stomach contents spread out, so the concentration of the stomach contents is downward trend. The result show that feed animals methomyl of poisoning fatal dose will bring about the concentration of the stomach contents decrease and the concentration distribution in other organs are not the same.

Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the toxic effects of two common pesticides ( insecticide and herbicide) on Japanese Medaka (Oryzias latipes). The micronucleus tests examined after 96 hours exposure of 3 different concentrations(1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ppm) of Methomyl and Butachlor, were studied in order to find out the risk of aquatic ecosystems due to the genotoxicity of pesticides. The results are summarized as follow: 1. The occurrence frequencies of micronucleus were slightly increased with dose- dependent response in methomyl experiments. 2. After exposure in common pesticides, erythrocytes were induced to cellular transformations: spherocytes, anisocytosis, echinocytes, vacuolation and haemolysis. 3. Nuclear abnormalities other than micronuclei were found such as notched nuclei, blebbed nuclei, diffused nuclear amterial and enucleated cells. Key words: Japanese Medaka (Oryzias latipes), pesticide, herbicide, micronucleus

Several types of pesticides, such as organophosphates and carbamate have a high risk of affecting human health, causing allergic rhinitis or allergic contact dermatitis. In recent years, allergic contact dermatitis has become an important subject in human life. In order to detect the potential chemicals allergens, the murine local lymph node assay (LLNA) has been developed and provided quantitative data suitable for dose response assessment. In this study, we designed to detect the potential skin sensitization of methomyl, azinphos-methyl technical pesticides, and 4 mixed pesticides by LLNA. The 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) was used as positive control, and the 10% dibutyl phthalate (DBP) was added to increase the lymph node cells proliferative responses. The result of LLNA tests demonstrated methomyl, azinphos-methyl and other 3 mixed pesticides (include chlorpyrifos+cypermethrim, imidacloprid+carbofuran and imidacloprid+deltamethrin) with a low or negative skin sensitizing activity. DNCB and a mixed pesticide (carbendazim + hexaconazole) had a stimulated index (SI) more than 3. However, there was only a slightly increase or even reduction of the response after added 10% DBP. For the single pesticide of carbendazim and hexaconazole, the LLNA results showed that SI value were less than 3. In conclusion, methomyl and azinphos-methyl do not induce dermal sensitizing effects. In addition, not all of the skin sensitization of tested pesticides were augmented by DBP which may be regarded as partial enhances. For the mixed pesticides, we consider that the mixture of two pesticides may able to affect the skin sensitization. In order to avoid the potential hazard of pesticide allergens, appropriate protective measures should be taken for farmer and pesticide applicator, and we suggest the mixed pesticide products must provide the detailed skin sensitization information when registered.

In this study, pectinase (pectolytic enzymes; PLEs including pectinlyase, polygalacturonase, pectinesterase) was used to study its enzymatic activity for degrading methoxyl-pectin. For both high and low methoxyl-group pectins (HMGP and LMGP, respectively), the optimal reaction temperature and time for PLEs was 60℃ and first 30 min, respectively. For HMGP and LMGP, the optimal reaction pH of PLEs was 5.0 and 4.0, respectively. The enzymatic activity of PLEs decreased significantly when the reaction pH was above pH 6.0 and the temperature was above 70℃. This result may be due to its acidity and denaturation. For the stability test, the optimal temperature of PLEs thermostability was at 30~40℃, while the PLEs was stable at the pH range of the buffer solution from 3.0 to 5.0 at room temperature and its activity retained about 80~90% after 120 min incubation at this temperature. The storage temperature (4℃ and 30℃) of PLEs was also investigated. PLEs still conserved about 80% activity during 7 days at 4℃, but the activity of PLEs after 4-day storage at 30℃ decreased significantly from about 95% to below 40%. For HMGP and LMGP gels, the Km and Vm constants of PLEs were 0.16mg/mL HMGP gel and 2.31mg/mL reducing sugar per min and 1.53mg/mL LMGP gel and 7.71mg/mL reducing sugar per min, respectively.

This thesis reports on a portfolio analysis for the possible strategic development for Taiwan’s micor DMFC (micro direct methanol fuel cell) industry. An attempt is made to provide concrete policy recommendations, as demanded among different stages of micro DMFC industrial development, to the government. The micro DMFC industry is segmented into three product/market areas, namely, micro DMFC key component industry, and micro DMFC system design and manufacture industry. The portfolio model entails a 2-dimensional analysis, in which the technological capacity and the industrial value chain of the industry are used as, respectively, the vertical and horizontal axes. Three research methods are used for data collection, which include literature review, expert interview, and general survey. The results indicate that the key component industry is now positioned in the technology import stage of the technological capacity, and the research and development phase of the industrial value chain. The system design and manufacture industry is now positioned at the technology improvement stage, and the design phase of the industrial value chain. Evaluating the Industrial Innovation Requirements and policy tools leads to a recommendation that the most critical categories of policy instruments be Scientific and Technical Development, Education and Training, Political, and Procurement. The government should establish the integrated technology institute for key component development, system design research, product test and quality verify, to encourage knowledge diffusion and accumulation. Enhance development for multi-domain skill of engineer. Deregulation of methanol transportation and strengthen to demonstrative promotion. Moreover, the government should promote the micro DMFC inside of portable 3C product into the all the government purpose of purchase.

High concentration of sucrose(>65﹪)and low pH value(2.7~3.4)are required for the production of pectin gelling products by using HMP(high methoxyl pectin). However, lower sucrose concentration is favorable in food production since it could lead to the reduction of calorie and benefit human health. The gelation of LMP(low methoxyl pectin) is formed by the cross-linking of divalent metal ions. There is a possibility to use LMP to replace HMP in order to reduce the sucrose content in pectin gel food products. The goal of this study was to produce pectin gel with low-sugar contents by using the conditions of different LMP concentration, sucrose concentration, pH value and calcium chloride concentration(CCD). Gel strength, water activity, syneresis, Hunter L, a, b value and TPA(texture profile analysis) values of gel samples were determined , and data were analyzed with a four-variable and three-level design by using response surface methodology(RSM). It could be found from the results that the concentration of CCD and LMP were the critical factors in LMP gelation. Although the effect of sucrose was weaker than CCD and LMP, it was also an important co-solute to help the gelation of LMP. Compared with HMP gel, LMP gel had higher springiness, water activity but lower hardness, gel strength, and fracturability. In addition, LMP possessed unstable structure and quality. Therefore, its application to food processing still needs further research.

Large amounts (at least 55%) of sugar (sucrose) are required as the cosolute for gelation of high methoxyl pectin (HMP). The effective replacement of sucrose by other low-calorie replacers would be significantly favorable to human health. However, besides gelation, sucrose also provides sweetness, shelf life, and improves a number of properties such as bulking and lowering water activity in the gelled product. Therefore, several sugar replacers with similar functional properties were selected to replace sucrose in this study. The samples were formed by thermal gelation and the substitute effects of individual sugar replacers were evaluated by physical measurements including gel strength, Hunter L, a, b values, and Instron texture profile analysis (TPA). The results indicated that among the sugar bulking agents tested, sorbitol and xylitol possessed more effects on HMP gelation and significantly lowered the water activity. In addition, there were higher lightness and no browning reaction in the gels formed by sorbitol and xylitol. Response surface methodology (RSM) and a three-variable and three-level design were then used to determine the optimum processing conditions of the HMP gelled products based on the responses of physical measurements and sensory evaluation. The optimum processing condition was found to be citric acid 0.0025 M, sorbitol 28.6 %, and xylitol 32.5 %. After storage at 4℃for three months, it was also found that there was no significant change in water activity and appearance except slight increases of hardness and springiness values, and the products became more acceptable to the mass panel.
