A Study of the Intermediate-Range Transport of Secondary Acidic Species
… chemical data, and (4) Calibration of a hybrid receptor model for the transport of sulfate from a coal-fired power plant.

Development and testing of a methodology for attributing sources of airborne pollutants to their receptors
… in order to satisfy the needs of air dispersion model. A new software package for the atmospheric dispersion models was also developed by the author using Microsoft Visual C++. In contrast to other available software packages, this package offers a choice of different atmospheric models. The user …

Temporally Correlated Dirichlet Processes in Pollution Receptor Modeling
… of pollution those sources emit. Multivariate receptor modeling seeks to estimate pollution source profiles and pollution emissions from concentrations of pollutants such as particulate matter (PM) in the air. Previous approaches to multivariate receptor modeling make the following two key …

CMB7 receptor modelling of airborne particulate matter in the Vaal Triangle
… was undertaken by Mintek, in South Africa. Three receptor sites were set up, oneea.ch in the Central Business District (CBD) of Vereeniging, Vanderbijlpark and Sasolburg. For this thesis, CMB7 receptor modelling was performed on fifteen samples from the V AM study representing the pre-, mid-, and …

Pex14p and its ligands - strutural basis of the early steps of peroxisomal protein import
… Aktuelle Ergebnisse lassen auf ein „cycling receptor“ Model schließen, welches aus „cargo recognition“ (der Aufnahme von peroxisomalen Matrixproteinen im Cytosol), dem „docking“, der Abgabe der aufgenommen Proteine ins peroxisomalen Lumen und dem Rezeptor Recycling besteht. Das …

Toward a Cell-Based Assay for Cubam-Mediated Intrinsic Factor-Vitamin B12 Binding and Uptake
… with the ultimate goal to establish a Ba/F3 cell model for evaluating IF-Cubam receptor interactions predictive of functionality in the human digestive tract. Methods: A Cubam/EpoR chimeric receptor was expressed on the cell surface, which was expected to activate the JAK-STAT5 pathway and drive …

Protein engineering of botulinum toxins with enhanced ganglioside binding capacity A biophysical and computational approach
… release at the neuromuscular junction. A dual receptor model has been proposed for BoNT binding to target neurons, comprising a low affinity ganglioside interaction followed by a higher affinity interaction with a protein receptor. A deeper understanding of the molecular nature of these …

SET-UP OF INNOVATIVE EXPERIMENTAL METODOLOGIES FOR THE ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOL CHARACTERISATION AND SOURCE APPORTIONMENT
… In this PhD thesis, three main experimental and modelling improvements were carried out: 1) set-up of an ED-XRF (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence) spectrometer for the analysis of size-segregated samples. During the work, an experimental methodology for this kind of analysis was developed, …

Computational engineering of small molecules to treat infectious diseases
… of current therapies. We use HIV protease as a model system to understand mutation resistance. HIV protease substrates are unaffected or only moderately affected by resistance mutations that greatly decrease inhibitor binding. This idea has led to the design of broadly binding inhibitors using …

Air Quality in Mexico City: Spatial and Temporal Variations of Particulate Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Source Apportionment of Gasoline-Versus-Diesel Vehicle Emissions
… MCMA using positive matrix factorization (PMF) receptor modeling. The Aerodyne Mobile Laboratory drove throughout the MCMA in March 2006 and measured on-road concentrations of a large suite of gaseous and particulate pollutants, including carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), …

Proximity to Potential Sources and Mountain Cold-trapping of Semi-volatile Organic Contaminants
… background concentrations of SVOCs. A model-based exploration revealed wet-gaseous deposition as the dominant process responsible for cold-trapping SVOCs in mountain soils. Such cold trapping is particularly effective if precipitation rate increases with altitude and if temperature …
