We Hereby Approve the Dissertation of Phil Blake Mcbride MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Phil Blake McBride Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Committee Chair Richard T. Taylor Research Director Arlyne M. Sarquis Committee Member Jerry L. Sarquis Committee Member James W. Hershberger Graduate School Representative Allen Berger ABSTRACT REVITALIZING CHEMISTRY LABORATORY INSTRUCTION by Phil Blake McBride This dissertation involves research in three major domains of chemical education as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. program in chemistry at Miami University with a major emphasis on chemical education, and concurrent study in organic chemistry. Unit I, Development and Assessment of a Column Chromatography Laboratory Activity, addresses the domain of Instructional Materials Development and Testing. This unit outlines the process of developing a publishable laboratory activity, testing and revising that activity, and subsequently sharing that activity with the chemical education community. A laboratory activity focusing on the separation of methylene blue and sodium fluorescein was developed to demonstrate the effects of both the stationary and mobile phase in conducting a separation. Unit II, Bringing Industry to the Laboratory, addresses the domain of Curriculum Development and Testing. This unit outlines the development of the Chemistry of Copper Mining module, which is intended for use in high school or undergraduate college chemistry. The module uses the learning cycle approach to present the chemistry of the industrial processes of mining copper to the students. The module includes thirteen investigations (three of which are web-based and ten which are laboratory experiments) and an accompanying interactive CD- ROM, which provides an explanation of the chemistry used in copper mining with a virtual tour of an operational copper mine. Unit III, An Alternative Method of Teaching Chemistry: Integrating Lecture and the Laboratory, is a project that addresses the domain of Research in Student Learning. Fundamental Chemistry was taught at Eastern Arizona College as an integrated lecture/laboratory course that met in two-hour blocks on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The students taking this integrated course were compared with students taking the traditional 1-hour lectures held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with accompanying 3-hour lab on Tuesday or Thursday. There were 119 students in the test group, 522 students in the Shelton control group and 556 students in the McBride control group. Both qualitative data and quantitative data were collected. A t-test was used to test significance.

  • Application of Fluorescein Combined with Methylene Blue in Sentinel
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Application of fuorescein combined with methylene blue in sentinel lymph node biopsy of breast cancer Liang Li1, Ning Gao1*, Ai Qing Yang2, Wen Hao Xu1, Yu Ding1, Jun Chu1, Xiao Na Lin1 & Jia Qi Liu1 Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for axillary lymph node staging in early breast cancer has been widely recognized. The combination of radio-colloids and dye method is the best method recognized. The reagents and equipment required in the process of the combined method are complex and expensive, so there are certain restrictions in the use of primary medical institutions. As a new tracer, fuorescent tracer technology has attracted much attention. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of fuorescein for SLNB in breast cancer. In this study, a total of 123 patients with breast cancer were divided into group A (n = 67) and group B (n = 56). The efcacy of Indocyanine green (ICG) combined with methylene blue (group A) and fuorescein combined with methylene blue (group B) in SLNB of breast cancer was compared, complications were observed at the same time. No local or systemic reactions were observed in the two groups. In group A, Sentinel lymph nodes of breast cancer were detected in 63 patients, with a detection rate of 94.0% (63/67), a false-negative rate of 7.5% (4/53). In group B, Sentinel lymph nodes of breast cancer were detected in 52 patients, with a detection rate of 92.9% (52/56), a false-negative rate of 7.5% (3/40). There was no signifcant diference in biopsy results between the two groups.

Opinions or points of view expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official position or policies of the U.S. Department of Justice. Abstract Fingerprints are the most common and useful physical evidence for the apprehension and conviction of crime perpetrators. Fluorogenic reagents for detecting and enhancing fingerprints in blood, however, have several associated challenges. For instance, they are generally unsuitable for dark and multi-colored substrates. Luminol and fluorescin and other chemilumigens and fluorigens can be used with dark and often multi-colored substrates, but are not compatible with fixatives and their oxidation products are not insoluble.

  • Solid-Phase Synthesis of Fluorescent Probes for Plasma Membrane Labelling
    molecules Article Solid-Phase Synthesis of Fluorescent Probes for Plasma Membrane Labelling Shuo Zhang, Annamaria Lilienkampf and Mark Bradley * EaStCHEM School of Chemistry, University of Edinburgh, Joseph Black Building, Edinburgh EH8 9YL, UK; [email protected] (S.Z.); [email protected] (A.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The cellular plasma membrane plays a fundamental role in biological processes, including cell growth, signaling and transport. The labelling of the plasma membrane with targeted fluorescent probes offers a convenient and non-invasive way to image the morphological changes and dynamics of a membrane in real-time and, despite many examples of fluorescent plasma membrane probes, a “universal targeting/anchoring moiety” is still required. In this study, a small number of stearic acid-based probes labelled with 6-carboxyfluorescein was designed and fabricated via solid-phase synthesis in which variations in both charge and hydrophobicity were explored. To ease the synthesis process, a gram-scale synthesis of the Fmoc-Lys(6-carboxyfluoresein diacetate)-OH building block was developed, allowing the discovery of optimal probes that carried a positively charged amino group and a stearic acid tail that exhibited intense plasma membrane brightness and robust retention.

Euler Sze C. Yang Geoffrey D. Bothun Nasser H. Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2019 ABSTRACT Chapter 1 of this dissertation is an investigation of rhodamine 560 (Rh560), a cationic dye similar to the well-studied rhodamine 6G (Rh6G). The spectral properties of Rh560 and Rh6G have similar changes as a function of thickness. At low surface coverage the spectra indicate monomers, at 1-2 monolayers dimers dominate, and thicker films show larger aggregates. The difference between Rh6G and Rh560 is that the transition from monomer to dimer occurs at different thickness, ~1.2 nm for Rh6G and ~0.5 nm for Rh560.
