Chromatographic Method Development for the Detection of Plastic Degradation Products
No full textGlobally each year, 350 million tons of plastic waste are produced, and plastic waste is increasing with no completely effective methods to decrease the amount. Plastic waste harms animals, ecosystems, and humanity. Microbes with PETase have been reported to degrade plastics, and in a collaborative research project, we are studying whether mesophilic or thermophilic microbes can effectively degrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET). As part of this project, we have been developing methods using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with molecular absorption or mass spectroscopic detection for the separation and quantization of common PET-degradation products such as ethylene glycol, terephthalic acid, bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate, and mono(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalic acid. We have developed GC and HPLC separation methods and are optimizing the mass spectroscopic detection parameters to decrease quantization limits
Next Time, There Will Be No Next Time: The Short vs. Long Term Policy Debate for Catastrophe, Analyzed Through Major Events in the United States of America During 2020
Get PDFWhat accounts for citizens’ policy preferences between short-term payoff and long-term investment policies? How are these beliefs impacted by the personal construction of time horizons in relation to “end of times” experiences or disasters? In this research study, I will investigate whether the year 2020 shifted certain demographic groups either towards or away from supporting long-term investment policies in the three aforementioned areas. I compare the preferences of sample groups of Americans before, during, and after 2020, to determine whether the endurance of this time period shifted individuals towards a “Never again” or a “Not Now” mentality, and what the implications are of this shift, if any, for American politics. I will also seek to identify which groups, if any, are most vulnerable to shifts post-crises, and what the implications are of these findings for political mobilization and outreach to target demographics in the future
