Description
Adenoviruses cause gastrointestinal illnesses and have been listed on the U.S. EPA’s Contaminant Candidate Lists (CCL). They are highly resistant to ultraviolet (UV) inactivation. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are known to improve inactivation of microorganisms and simultaneously oxidize organics. The bacteriophage P22 was selected as a surrogate for adenoviruses due to their physical and genetic similarities.
The main objective of this study was to compare the synergic disinfection potential of titanium dioxide (TiO2) or peracetic acid (PAA) with UV for viruses and bacteria in water.
Both bench-scale and pilot-scale evaluation was done. A bench-scale collimated beam was included to evaluate the inactivation of P22 and E. coli by UV with and without TiO2 or PAA. A Purifics Photo-Cat system which is an integrated UV/ceramic membrane reactor was used for the pilot-scale TiO2-UV AOP experiments. For pilot-scale PAA-UV AOP experiments, an in-line D222 UV reactor unit provided by NeoTech Aqua Solutions, Inc. was used.
TiO2 doses of 1, 10, and 40 mg/L were applied in the collimated beam and the Photo-Cat system. Higher TiO2 doses resulted in a higher inactivation in the Photo-Cat and lower inactivation in the collimated beam apparatus. Adding 40 mg/L of TiO2 in the photo-Cat system improved P22 inactivation by 25% while it slightly decreased P22 inactivation in collimated beam apparatus.
PAA doses of 0.25 or 0.5 ppm were continuously injected upstream of the UV light and a 53% or 90% increase in inactivation was observed for E. coli, respectively, as compared to UV alone. However, P22 required higher dose with PAA-UV AOP and PAA concentrations of 1 or 10 ppm resulted in an 18% and 70% increase in the inactivation respectively, as compared to UV alone. Interestingly, when the same condition was applied to water with more organics (UVT 79%), E. coli exhibited the same level of susceptibility to PAA-UV AOP while P22 inactivation decreased.
The results provide new insight on the effectiveness and applicability of adding AOP to UV for microbial inactivation in water. PAA-UV AOP can potentially enhance existing UV disinfection systems with minimal chemical addition, and a simple retrofit to existing UV units.

Description
Radioactive cesium (137Cs), released from nuclear power plants and nuclear accidental releases, is a problem due to difficulties regarding its removal. Efforts have been focused on removing cesium and the remediation of the contaminated environment. Traditional treatment techniques include Prussian blue and nano zero-valent ion (nZVI) and nano-Fe/Cu particles to remove Cs from water; however, they are not efficient at removing Cs when present at low concentrations of about 10 parts-per-billion (ppb), typical of concentrations found in the radioactive contaminated sites.
The objective of this study was to develop an innovative and simple method to remove Cs+ present at low concentrations by engineering a proteoliposome transporter composed of an uptake protein reconstituted into a liposome vesicle. To achieve this, the uptake protein, Kup, from E. coli, was isolated through protein extraction and purification procedures. The new and simple extraction methodology developed in this study was highly efficient and resulted in purified Kup at ~1 mg/mL. A new method was also developed to insert purified Kup protein into the bilayers of liposome vesicles. Finally, removal of CsCl (10 and 100 ppb) was demonstrated by spiking the constructed proteoliposome in lab-fortified water, followed by incubation and ultracentrifugation, and measuring Cs+ with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
The ICP-MS results from testing water contaminated with 100 ppb CsCl, revealed that adding 0.1 – 8 mL of Kup proteoliposome resulted in 0.29 – 12.7% Cs removal. Addition of 0.1 – 2 mL of proteoliposome to water contaminated with 10 ppb CsCl resulted in 0.65 – 3.43% Cs removal. These removal efficiencies were greater than the control, liposome with no protein.
A linear relationship was observed between the amount of proteoliposome added to the contaminated water and removal percentage. Consequently, by adding more volumes of proteoliposome, removal can be simply improved. This suggests that with ~ 60-70 mL of proteoliposome, removal of about 90% can be achieved. The novel technique developed herein is a contribution to emerging technologies in the water and wastewater treatment industry.

Description
This dissertation critically evaluated methodologies and devices for assessing and protecting the health of human populations, with particular emphasis on groundwater remediation and the use of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) to inform population health. A meta-analysis and assessment of laboratory-scale treatability studies for removing chlorinated solvents from groundwater found that sediment microcosms operated as continuous-flow columns are preferable to batch bottles when seeking to emulate with high fidelity the complex conditions prevailing in the subsurface in contaminated aquifers (Chapter 2). Compared to monitoring at the field-scale, use of column microcosms also showed (i) improved chemical speciation, and (ii) qualitative predictability of field parameters (Chapter 3). Monitoring of glucocorticoid hormones in wastewater of a university campus showed (i) elevated stress levels particularly at the start of the semester, (ii) on weekdays relative to weekend days (p = 0.05) (161 ± 42 μg d-1 per person, 122 ± 54 μg d-1 per person; p ≤ 0.05), and (iii) a positive association between levels of stress hormones and nicotine (rs: 0.49) and caffeine (0.63) consumption in this student population (Chapter 4). Also, (i) alcohol consumption determined by WBE was in line with literature estimates for this young sub-population (11.3 ± 7.5 g d-1 per person vs. 10.1 ± 0.8 g d-1 per person), whereas caffeine and nicotine uses were below (114 ± 49 g d-1 per person, 178 ± 19 g d-1 per person; 627 ± 219 g d-1 per person, 927 ± 243 g d-1 per person). The introduction of a novel continuous in situ sampler to WBE brought noted benefits relative to traditional time-integrated sampling, including (i) a higher sample coverage (93% vs. 3%), (ii) an ability to captured short-term analyte pulses (e.g., heroin, fentanyl, norbuprenorphine, and methadone), and (iii) an overall higher mass capture for drugs of abuse like morphine, fentanyl, methamphetamine, amphetamine, and the opioid antagonist metabolite norbuprenorphine (p ≤ 0.01). Methods and devices developed in this work are poised to find applications in the remediation sector and in human health assessments.

Description
Activated Carbon has been used for decades to remove organics from water at large scale in municipal water treatment as well as at small scale in Point of Use (POU) and Point of Entry (POE) water treatment. This study focused on Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) and also activated Carbon Block (CB) were studied.
This thesis has three related elements for organics control in drinking water. First, coagulation chemistry for Alum and Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH) was optimized for significant organics removal to address membrane fouling issue at a local municipal water treatment plant in Arizona. Second, Rapid Small Scale Column Tests were conducted for removal of Perfluorinated compounds (PFC), PFC were present in groundwater at a local site in Arizona at trace levels with combined concentration of Perfluorooctaneoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfloorooctanesulfonic Acid (PFOS) up to 245 ng/L. Groundwater from the concerned site is used as drinking water source by a private utility. PFC Removal was evaluated for different GAC, influent concentrations and particle sizes. Third, a new testing protocol (Mini Carbon Block (MCB)) for bench scale study of POU water treatment device, specifically carbon block filter was developed and evaluated. The new bench scale decreased the hydraulic requirements by 60 times approximately, which increases the feasibility to test POU at a lab scale. It was evaluated for a common POU organic contaminant: Chloroform, and other model contaminants.
10 mg/L of ACH and 30 mg/L of Alum with pH adjustment were determined as optimal coagulant doses. Bituminous coal based GAC was almost three times better than coconut shell based GAC for removing PFC. Multiple tests with MCB suggested no short circuiting and consistent performance for methylene blue though chloroform removal tests underestimated full scale carbon block performance but all these tests creates a good theoretical and practical fundament for this new approach and provides directions for future researchers.

Description
Poxviruses such as monkeypox virus (MPXV) are emerging zoonotic diseases. Compared to MPXV, Vaccinia virus (VACV) has reduced pathogenicity in humans and can be used as a partially protective vaccine against MPXV. While most orthopoxviruses have E3 protein homologues with highly similar N-termini, the MPXV homologue, F3, has a start codon mutation leading to an N-terminal truncation of 37 amino acids. The VACV protein E3 consists of a dsRNA binding domain in its C-terminus which must be intact for pathogenicity in murine models and replication in cultured cells. The N-terminus of E3 contains a Z-form nucleic acid (ZNA) binding domain and is also required for pathogenicity in murine models. Poxviruses produce RNA transcripts that extend beyond the transcribed gene which can form double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). The innate immune system easily recognizes dsRNA through proteins such as protein kinase R (PKR). After comparing a vaccinia virus with a wild-type E3 protein (VACV WT) to one with an E3 N-terminal truncation of 37 amino acids (VACV E3Δ37N), phenotypic differences appeared in several cell lines. In HeLa cells and certain murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), dsRNA recognition pathways such as PKR become activated during VACV E3Δ37N infections, unlike VACV WT. However, MPXV does not activate PKR in HeLa or MEF cells. Additional investigation determined that MPXV produces less dsRNA than VACV. VACV E3Δ37N was made more similar to MPXV by selecting mutants that produce less dsRNA. By producing less dsRNA, VACV E3Δ37N no longer activated PKR in HeLa or MEF cells, thus restoring the wild-type phenotype. Furthermore, in other cell lines such as L929 (also a murine fibroblast) VACV E3Δ37N, but not VACV WT infection leads to activation of DNA-dependent activator of IFN-regulatory factors (DAI) and induction of necroptotic cell death. The same low dsRNA mutants demonstrate that DAI activation and necroptotic induction is independent of classical dsRNA. Finally, investigations of spread in an animal model and replication in cell lines where both the PKR and DAI pathways are intact determined that inhibition of both pathways is required for VACV E3Δ37N to replicate.

Description
Traditional public health strategies for assessing human behavior, exposure, and activity are considered resource-exhaustive, time-consuming, and expensive, warranting a need for alternative methods to enhance data acquisition and subsequent interventions. This dissertation critically evaluated the use of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) as an inclusive and non-invasive tool for conducting near real-time population health assessments. A rigorous literature review was performed to gauge the current landscape of WBE to monitor for biomarkers indicative of diet, as well as exposure to estrogen-mimicking endocrine disrupting (EED) chemicals via route of ingestion. Wastewater-derived measurements of phytoestrogens from August 2017 through July 2019 (n = 156 samples) in a small sewer catchment revealed seasonal patterns, with highest average per capita consumption rates in January through March of each year (2018: 7.0 ± 2.0 mg d-1; 2019: 8.2 ± 2.3 mg d-1) and statistically significant differences (p = 0.01) between fall and winter (3.4 ± 1.2 vs. 6.1 ± 2.9 mg d-1; p ≤ 0.01) and spring and summer (5.6 ± 2.1 vs. 3.4 ± 1.5 mg d-1; p ≤ 0.01). Additional investigations, including a human gut microbial composition analysis of community wastewater, were performed to support a methodological framework for future implementation of WBE to assess population-level dietary behavior. In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, a high-frequency, high-resolution sample collection approach with public data sharing was implemented throughout the City of Tempe, Arizona, and analyzed for SARS-CoV-2 (E gene) from April 2020 through March 2021 (n = 1,556 samples). Results indicate early warning capability during the first wave (June 2020) compared to newly reported clinical cases (8.5 ± 2.1 days), later transitioning to a slight lagging indicator in December/January 2020-21 (-2.0 ± 1.4 days). A viral hotspot from within a larger catchment area was detected, prompting targeted interventions to successfully mitigate community spread; reinforcing the importance of sample collection within the sewer infrastructure. I conclude that by working in tandem with traditional approaches, WBE can enlighten a comprehensive understanding of population health, with methods and strategies implemented in this work recommended for future expansion to produce timely, actionable data in support of public health.

Description
This dissertation applies wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) to aqueous process flows to gauge the public health status concerning exposure and potential abuse of pharmaceuticals, antimicrobials, and narcotics. The masses of emerging contaminants emitted into Indian aquatic and terrestrial environments were the highest for open defecation (17 ± 12 mt/d), with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs dominating environmental loading (14 ± 10 mt/d), followed by antibiotics, antimicrobials, phthalates and miscellaneous pharmaceuticals (Chapter 2). Fourteen wastewater treatment plants sampled across the U.S. had a combined average mass loading of 71 ± 12 µg/d/capita for the antimicrobials triclosan and triclocarban, with paraben compounds contributing 19 ± 5 µg/d/US capita. Risk models showed unfavorable hazard quotients (HQ>1) for sensitive aquatic organisms (algae, zebra fish and rainbow trout) from predicted exposures to antimicrobials of alternative use, i.e., chlorhexidine and benzalkonium chloride (Chapter 3). Substances subject to licit and illicit use, monitored by WBE in a medium-sized southwestern U.S. city before and during COVID-19-related lockdowns, showed the highest mass loads for cocaine and its major metabolite benzoylecgonine (2,207 total), methadone and its major metabolite 2-Ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine (197), parent mitragynine (60), oxycodone and its major metabolite noroxycodone (48), heroin and its major metabolite 6-acetylmorphine (45), and parent codeine (37) in mg/1,000 capita/day. Heroin use during the lockdown increased ~10-fold relative to the pre-lockdown baseline, whereas oxycodone and codeine mass loading decreased 5-fold and 2.5-fold, respectively (Chapter 4). Experiments elucidating the stability of stress hormones and their metabolites as a function of temperature and in-sewer residence time revealed a rapid degradation to completion over 24 hours at 35°C, whereas lower temperatures of 25°C and 15°C were found to allow for successful tracking of indicators of stress at the population level; statistically significant differences in stress hormone decay rates were observed due to geographic locations at 25°C (p=0.009) but not due to redox conditions in the sewer pipe (Chapter 5). This thesis demonstrated the successful application of WBE for studying population health frequently and inexpensively, with the limitation that a lack of centralized wastewater infrastructure in developing countries may create barriers for at-risk populations to access and utilize this novel technology (Chapter 6).

Description
Despite the prevalence of coyotes (Canis latrans) little is known about the viruses associated with this species. To assess the extent of viral research that has been conducted on coyotes, a literature review was performed. Over the last six decades, there have been many viruses that have been identified infecting coyotes. The pathology of some cases implies that infection is rare and lethal while others have been demonstrated to be endemic to coyotes. In addition, the majority of the prior analyses were done through serological assays that were limited to investigating target viruses. To help expand what is known about coyote-virus dynamics, viral assays were conducted on coyote scat. The samples were collected as part of transects established along the Salt River near Phoenix, Arizona, United States (USA). The recovered viral genomes were clustered with other deoxynucleic acid (DNA) viruses and analyzed to determine phylogeny and genetic identity. From the recovered viral genomes, there are two novel circoviruses, one novel naryavirus, five unclassified cressdnaviruses, and two previously identified species of anelloviruses from the Wawtorquevirus genus. For these viruses, new phylogenies for their groups and pairwise identity plots have been generated. These figures give insight into the potential hosts and the evolutionary history. In the case of the anelloviruses, they likely derived from a wood rat (Neotoma) host, given the anellovirus family’s host specificity and its similarity to another viral genome derived from a wood rat in Arizona, USA. Of the recovered circovirus genomes, one is associated with a viral isolate collected from a dust sample in Arizona, USA. The second circovirus species identified is within a clade that consists of rodent associated circoviruses and canine circovirus. Other recovered genomes expand clusters of unclassified cressdnaviruses. The recovered genomes support further genomic analysis. These findings help support the notion that there is a wealth of viral information to be identified from animals like coyotes. By understanding the viruses that coyotes are associated with, it is possible to better understand the viral impact on the urban environment, domesticated animals, and wildlife in general.

Description
Precise modulation of gene expression is essential for proper tissue and cell-specific differentiation and function. Multiple distinct post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms, such as miRNA (microRNA)-based regulation and alternative polyadenylation (APA), are an intrinsic part of this modulation and orchestrate intricate pathways to achieve and maintain balanced gene expression.MiRNA-based regulation and APA function through sequence motifs located in the 3’ Untranslated Region (3’UTR) of mRNA transcripts. MiRNAs are short (~22 nt) non-coding RNA molecules that bind target sequences within the 3’UTR of an mRNA transcript, inhibiting its translation or promoting its degradation. APA occurs during RNA transcription termination and leads to the preparation of mature mRNAs with different 3’UTR lengths, allowing shorter 3’UTRs to bypass miRNA regulation.
In addition to these two post-transcriptional forms of regulation, co-transcriptional mechanisms such as alternative RNA splicing, which produces distinct gene products from a precursor mRNA, are also important in controlling gene expression.
While miRNA-based regulation, APA, and alternative RNA splicing are important regulatory mechanisms, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of how they interact and communicate with each other. This thesis studies these three forms of gene regulation in the nematode C. elegans, with the goal of extracting rules and mechanisms used by each of them in development to establish and maintain somatic tissue identity.
After isolating miRNA targets in multiple C. elegans somatic tissues, it was found that miRNAs can modulate the abundance of hnRNPs and SR proteins, which are known to control alternative RNA splicing in a dosage-dependent manner.To identify tissue-specific miRNAs, a nuclear fluorescent cell sorting (FACS)-based methodology named Nuc-Seq, was developed to isolate and sequence tissue-specific miRNAs from body muscle tissue. Nuc-Seq identified 2,848 muscle-specific protein-coding genes and 16 body muscle-specific miRNAs. This data was used to develop a high-quality body muscle-specific miRNA-APA Interactome which allows studies in regulatory processes in detail.
Taken together, this work highlights some of the complexity of pre- and post-transcriptional gene regulation and sheds light on how miRNA-based regulation, APA, and alternative RNA splicing are interconnected and are responsible for the establishment and maintenance of tissue identity.
