Hydroxylated (OH-) and methoxylated (MeO-) polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have caused much concern because of their potential toxicity and worldwide distribution. These compounds are recently suggested to originate from the natural process in the ocean. However, their source remains highly controversial. In this study, we analyzed the contents of nine MeO-BDEs, ten OH-BDEs, and phytopla...

Hui-Chen, Yousuf, and Hunter: The need of biomarkers to detect at AD at an early age (hopefully, when disease progression can be slowed or stopped) is an obvious one. Currently a lot of scientific research is ongoing to identify AD biomarkers. The Alzheimer’s Association website (http://www.alz.org/research/science/alzheimers_prevention_and_risk.asp) has a good discussion on lifestyle changes a...

Let E be an elliptic curve over Q, and for each prime p, let #E(Fp) be the number of rational points of E over the finite field Fp. Taking aE(p) = p+ 1−#E(Fp) to be the trace of Frobenius as usual, we recall the following important result of Hasse, which holds when E has good reduction at p: |aE(p)| ≤ 2 √ p. It follows that for each prime p, there is a unique angle θp ∈ [0, π] (which we call th...

Hydroxylated- and methoxylated- polybrominated diphenyl ethers (OH-PBDEs and MeO-PBDEs) are more toxic than PBDEs and occur widely in the marine environment, and yet their origins remain controversial. In this study, four species of microalgae (Isochrysis galbana, Prorocentrum minimum, Skeletonema grethae and Thalassiosira pseudonana) were exposed to BDE-47, which is synthetic and is the predom...
