The development of steady State and lifetime fluorescence instruments for real time in situ aquatic chemistry measurements
The development of three optical instruments for the chemical exploration and characterization of natural waters is described. The first instrument (called LEDIF) employs a novel flowcell, 6 UV LEDs as excitation sources, a wideband lamp, and a spectrometer to measure steady state chemical …

THE INFLUENCE OF THE INVASIVE CHINESE TALLOW (TRIADICA SEBIFERA) LEAF LITTER ON AQUATIC CHEMISTRY AND MICROBIAL COMMUNITY COMPOSITION
… cause changes in dissolved oxygen and pH in the aquatic environment. Turbidity is also affected when Chinese tallow litter is present in water. A series of experiments were performed to determine the causes of these chemical changes in water when Chinese tallow litter is present. I determined …

Influence of neighborhood structure and weather conditions on density of vectors and risk for West Nile Virus in Cook County Illinois
… Both species have complex life cycles with aquatic juvenile stages and terrestrial adult stages. Because exposure to the bite of a mosquito is clearly linked to risk for WNV infection, the majority of previous field research has focused on the habitat and behavior of adult females. The …
