Eco-SSLs are derived separately for four groups of ecological receptors: plants, soil invertebrates, birds, and mammals. As such, these values are presumed to provide adequate protection of terrestrial ecosystems. Eco-SSLs are derived to be protective of the conservative end of the exposure and effects species distribution, and are intended to be applied at the screening stage of an ecological risk assessment. These screening levels should be used to identify the contaminants of potential concern (COPCs) that require further evaluation in the site-specific baseline ecological risk assessment that is completed according to specific guidance (U.S. EPA, 1997, 1998, and 1999). The Eco-SSLs are not designed to be used as cleanup levels and the United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emphasizes that it would be inappropriate to adopt or modify the intended use of these Eco-SSLs as national cleanup standards. The detailed procedures used to derive Eco-SSL values are described in separate documentation (U.S. EPA, 2003, 2005). The derivation procedures represent the group effort of a multi-stakeholder group consisting of federal, state, consulting, industry, and academic participants led by the U.S. EPA Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response. This document provides the Eco-SSL values for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the documentation for their derivation. This document provides guidance and is designed to communicate national policy on identifying PAH concentrations in soil that may present an unacceptable ecological risk to terrestrial receptors. The document does not, however, substitute for EPA's statutes or regulations, nor is it a regulation itself. Thus, it does not impose legally-binding requirements on EPA, states, or the regulated community, and may not apply to a particular situation based upon the circumstances of the site. EPA may change this guidance in the future, as appropriate. EPA and state personnel may use and accept other technically sound approaches, either on their own initiative, or at the suggestion of potentially responsible parties, or other interested parties. Therefore, interested parties are free to raise questions and objections about the substance of this document and the appropriateness of the application of this document to a particular situation. EPA welcomes public comments on this document at any time and may consider such comments in future revisions of this document. 2.0 SUMMARY OF ECO-SSLs FOR PAHs Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (CASRN: 130498-29-2) constitute a class of organic substances made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms grouped into at least two condensed aromatic ring structures. These are divided into two categories: low molecular weight compounds composed of fewer than four rings and high molecular weight compounds of four or more rings. PAH derivatives are PAHs having an alkyl or other radical attached to a ring. Heterocyclic aromatic compounds (HACs) include PAHs having any one carbon atom in a ring replaced by a Eco-SSL for PAHs 1 June 2007 nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur atom PAHs are also referred to as polynuclear hydrocarbons, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, or polycyclic organic matter (HSDB). Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are found throughout the environment in air, soil, water, and sediment. PAHs enter the environment from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Natural sources include volcanic eruptions and forest fires (ATSDR, 1995). Primary anthropogenic sources are from the extraction, transport, and refining of petroleum products and combustion products resulting from their use (International Labor Office, 1998). Other industrial sources include machine lubricating and cutting oils, and color printing oils (WHO, 2002). PAHs are also found in creosote (NTP, 2003), coal tar, roofing materials, and surface coatings. PAHs are not currently produced for commercial use in the United States, although several compounds are distributed for research purposes by specialty chemical companies (NTP, 2003) (HSDB). The primary mode of toxicity for PAHs in soil dwelling terrestrial invertebrates is non-specific, nonpolar narcosis (Sverdrup et al., 2002a). The uptake of PAHs by earthworms occurs primarily by direct contact with the soluble phase of the soil solution (interstitial porewater) (Fairbrother, 2005). Soil porewater concentrations of PAHs are more predictive of biological responses (toxicity and/or bioaccumulation) in soil organisms than are bulk soil concentrations. Several studies show a relationship between bioaccumulation of or toxic effects of PAHs and soil porewater concentrations. The relationships are more predictable for low molecular weight compounds and show significant variability for high molecular weight PAHs (Ma et al., 1998) (Fairbrother, 2005). The bioavailability of PAHs in soils is influenced by organic carbon quality and quantity, aging and weathering, microbial action, methylation/hydroxylation, adsorption/desorption hysteresis and ultra-violent light interaction (Fairbrother, 2005). The soil organic carbon-water partition coefficients (Koc) for PAHs vary depending on the size of associated soil particles with the highest values in silt (fine particles) followed by sand and clay (Krauss and Wilcke, 2002). Microbial degradation of PAHs is a key process in environmental fate in soils. The rate of biodegradation is dependant on the nutrient content and bacterial community in the soil. PAHs in soils undergo a weathering process such that the lighter chain fractions are removed (primarily by volatilization). Heavier fractions bind more readily to the soil organic matter and remain behind in the top soil horizon. As the mixture of PAHs age, bioavailability changes as the fraction remaining bind more tightly (Fairbrother, 2005). Aging reduces the bioavailability of PAHs in soils (Johnson et al., 2002). Chemicals in soils “age” by becoming incorporated inside the crystal lattice structure of the soil particle, or partitioning onto organic matter or soil nanopores (Nam et al., 1998), so they are no longer available for uptake by organisms. Bulk sediment chemistry methods can measure PAHs sequestered in this manner but it is not biologically available to organisms. Aging is, however, influenced by biodegradation and soil characteristics and is not a linear predictive relationship (Sverdrup et al., 2002b). PAHs that result from combustion processes are inserted into particulate

The diverse superfamily Oestroidea with more than 15 000 known species includes among others blow flies, flesh flies, bot flies and the diverse tachinid flies. Oestroidea exhibit strikingly divergent morphological and ecological traits, but even with a variety of data sources and inferences there is no consensus on the relationships among major Oestroidea lineages. Phylogenomic inferences derived from targeted enrichment of ultraconserved elements or UCEs have emerged as a promising method for resolving difficult phylogenetic problems at varying timescales. To reconstruct phylogenetic relationships among families of Oestroidea, we obtained UCE loci exclusively derived from the transcribed portion of the genome, making them suitable for larger and more integrative phylogenomic studies using other genomic and transcriptomic resources. We analysed datasets containing 37–2077 UCE loci from 98 representatives of all oestroid families (except Ulurumyiidae and Mystacinobiidae) and seven calyptrate outgroups, with a total concatenated aligned length between 10 and 550 Mb. About 35% of the sampled taxa consisted of museum specimens (2–92 years old), of which 85% resulted in successful UCE enrichment.

This transformation has not previously been done catalytically and has not been done in practical manner with stepwise or stoichiometric processes. Building on the previous work of the Lambert lab on the metathesis of cyclopropene and an aldehyde using a hydrazine catalyst, this work discusses efforts to expand to the less stained norbornene. Computational and experimental studies on the catalytic cycle are discussed, including detailed experimental work on how various factors affect the difficult cycloreversion step. The second portion of this thesis details the use of chiral cyclopropenimine bases as catalysts for asymmetric Michael reactions. The Lambert lab has previously developed chiral cyclopropenimine bases for glycine imine nucleophiles. The scope of these catalysts was expanded to include glycine imine derivatives in which the nitrogen atom was replaced with a carbon atom, and to include imines derived from other amino acids. i Table of Contents List of Abbreviations…………………………………………………………………………..iv Part I: Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………… 1 Chapter 1 – Metathesis Reactions of Double Bonds………………………………………….. 1 Introduction………………………………………………………………………………. 1 Olefin Metathesis………………………………………………………………………… 2 Wittig Reaction…………………………………………………………………………... 6 Tebbe Olefination………………………………………………………………………... 9 Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………….

Despite the significant progress in this area, the effect of commonly employed pharmaceutical excipients, such as surfactants, on the solubility of drugs in BDM has not been characterized in detail. The aim of this study is to clarify the impact of surfactant−bile interactions on drug solubility by using a set of 12 surfactants, 3 model hydrophobic drugs (fenofibrate, danazol, and progesterone) and two types of BDM (porcine bile extract and sodium taurodeoxycholate). Drug precipitation and sharp nonlinear decrease in the solubility of all studied drugs is observed when drug-loaded ionic surfactant micelles are introduced in solutions of both BDM, whereas the drugs remain solubilized in the mixtures of nonionic polysorbate surfactants + BDM. One-dimensional and diffusion-ordered 1H NMR spectroscopy show that mixed bile salt + surfactant micelles with low drug solubilization capacity are formed for the ionic surfactants. On the other hand, separate surfactant-rich and bile salt-rich micelles coexist in the nonionic polysorbate surfactant + bile salt mixtures, explaining the better drug solubility in these systems.
