Surface water and sediment samples from three sites in each lake were collected from Deep Hollow, Beasley, and Thighman Lakes from September 2000 to February 2001. Samples were analyzed for 17 historic and current-use pesticides and selected metabolites.

It is the most widely used herbicide in the world, and the third most commonly used in North America.[1] 2,4-D is also an important synthetic auxin, often used in laboratories for plant research and as a supplement in plant cell culture media such as MS medium. History 2,4-D was developed during World War II by a British team at Rothamsted Experimental Station, under the leadership of Judah Hirsch Quastel, aiming to increase crop yields for a nation at war.[citation needed] When it was commercially released in 1946, it became the first successful selective herbicide and allowed for greatly enhanced weed control in wheat, maize (corn), rice, and similar cereal grass crop, because it only kills dicots, leaving behind monocots. Mechanism of herbicide action 2,4-D is a synthetic auxin, which is a class of plant growth regulators.

  • Carpenter Ants and Control in Homes Page 1 of 6
    Carpenter Ants and Control in Homes Page 1 of 6 Carpenter Ants and Control in Homes Fact Sheet No. 31 Revised May 2000 Dr. Jay B Karren, Extension Entomologist Alan H. Roe, Insect Diagnostician Introduction Carpenter ants are members of the insect order Hymenoptera, which includes bees, wasps, sawflies, and other ants. Carpenter ants can be occasional pests in the home and are noted particularly for the damage they can cause when nesting in wood. In Utah they are more of a nuisance rather than a major structural pest. Carpenter ants, along with a number of other ant species, utilize cavities in wood, particularly stumps and logs in decayed condition, as nesting sites. They are most abundant in forests and can be easily found under loose bark of dead trees, stumps, or fallen logs. Homeowners may bring them into their homes when they transport infested logs from forests to use as firewood. Description Carpenter ants include species that are among the largest ants found in the United States. They are social insects with a complex and well-defined caste system. The worker ants are sterile females and may occur in different sizes (majors and minors). Members of the reproductive caste (fertile males and females) are usually winged prior to mating. All ants develop from eggs deposited by a fertilized female (queen). The eggs hatch into grub-like larvae (immatures) which are fed and cared for by the workers. When fully grown, the larvae spin a cocoon and enter the pupal stage. The pupal stage is a period of transformation from the larva to adult.

  • I LITERATURE-BASED DISCOVERY of KNOWN and POTENTIAL NEW
    LITERATURE-BASED DISCOVERY OF KNOWN AND POTENTIAL NEW MECHANISMS FOR RELATING THE STATUS OF CHOLESTEROL TO THE PROGRESSION OF BREAST CANCER BY YU WANG THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Bioinformatics with a concentration in Library and Information Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2019 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Vetle I. Torvik Professor Erik Russell Nelson i ABSTRACT Breast cancer has been studied for a long period of time and from a variety of perspectives in order to understand its pathogeny. The pathogeny of breast cancer can be classified into two groups: hereditary and spontaneous. Although cancer in general is considered a genetic disease, spontaneous factors are responsible for most of the pathogeny of breast cancer. In other words, breast cancer is more likely to be caused and deteriorated by the dysfunction of a physical molecule than be caused by germline mutation directly. Interestingly, cholesterol, as one of those molecules, has been discovered to correlate with breast cancer risk. However, the mechanisms of how cholesterol helps breast cancer progression are not thoroughly understood. As a result, this study aims to study known and discover potential new mechanisms regarding to the correlation of cholesterol and breast cancer progression using literature review and literature-based discovery. The known mechanisms are further classified into four groups: cholesterol membrane content, transport of cholesterol, cholesterol metabolites, and other. The potential mechanisms, which are intended to provide potential new treatments, have been identified and checked for feasibility by an expert.
