Abstract:

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous, toxic contaminants that are released to the environment from various petrogenic and pyrogenic sources. In an effort to more clearly identify and trace sources of PAHs in the environment, purification and compound specific isotope analysis methods were developed to accurately measure the stable carbon isotope ratio of individual PAHs. Development of the method included improving accuracy and precision of the isotopic measurement by producing highly pure extracts using various chromatographic techniques. The method was refined by improving

Abstract:

Five different forms of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO; IA, IB, IC, ID, II), the carboxylase of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle (CBB), are utilized by plants, algae and autotrophic bacteria for carbon fixation. Discrimination against 13C by RubisCO is a major factor dictating the stable carbon isotopic composition (δ13C = {[13C/12C sample/13C/12C standard] - 1} X 1000) of biomass. To date, isotope discrimination, expressed as ε values (={[12k/13k] - 1} X 1000; 12k and 13k = rates of 12C and 13C fixation) has been measured for form IA, IB, and II RubisCOs from only a f

Abstract:

The flux of carbon between the mantle and crustal reservoirs can have a large impact on the melting of mantle rocks, the long and short term stability of the climate, and the growth of a very precious mineral; diamond. Diamond can be as young as 200 Ma and as old as > 4000 Ma, which is most of Earth’s entire 4500 Ma history and can also contain samples of the Earth’s mantle over a depth range of > 600 km, from the base of the crust and into the lower mantle. This spatial and temporal sampling of the Earth is unrivalled; therefore the study of mantle diamond is the best way to place constraints

The basins are located on the central-western and northeastern coasts of the Malaysian Peninsula, and are drained by the Langat and Kelantan Rivers, respectively.

Stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ¹³C) and nitrogen (δ¹⁵N) in human tissues, which reflect the stable isotope composition of the diet, offer numerous applications in the field of nutrition.

In the ancient past, agriculture was central to the daily routines of life and economic organisation. The major limiting factor on crop production in dry regions, such as Western Asia, is the availability of water.

The effort and resources afforded to crops by farmers can indicate the scale of production. whereas the preferential treatment of certain crops over others offers insights into the cultural and economic ro

Abstract:

Measuring the metabolite profile of plants can be a strong phenotyping tool, but the changes of metabolite pool sizes are often difficult to interpret, not least because metabolite pool sizes may stay constant while carbon flows are altered and vice versa. Hence, measuring the carbon allocation of metabolites enables a better understanding of the metabolic phenotype. The main challenge of such measurements is the in vivo integration of a stable or radioactive label into a plant without perturbation of the system.
