Cell Modeling
The Air Force is currently developing new products that incorporate a variety of chemicals which may come in contact with product users. To define which chemicals are dangerous to the user, toxicity studies have been performed. However, analysis of toxicity ultimately requires models of the exposed cellular systems. This thesis provides an introduction of how to model and analyze small and large cellular systems. Understanding the underlying behavior of small models and their relation to large systems will lead to a better understanding of how the Air Force should construct intracellular models to assist in future toxicology studies.Developing analysis techniques to include steady state analysis through linearization, and then considering small reaction systems, such as the Brusselator and Schnackenberg models, led to a basic understanding of model behavior. This knowledge was applied to create new models in an effort to begin a transition from previously created models to the construction of models unique to the Air Force.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Cell Modeling
The Air Force is currently developing new products that incorporate a variety of chemicals which may come in contact with product users. To define which chemicals are dangerous to the user, toxicity studies have been performed. However, analysis of toxicity ultimately requires models of the exposed cellular systems. This thesis provides an introduction of how to model and analyze small and large cellular systems. Understanding the underlying behavior of small models and their relation to large systems will lead to a better understanding of how the Air Force should construct intracellular models to assist in future toxicology studies.Developing analysis techniques to include steady state analysis through linearization, and then considering small reaction systems, such as the Brusselator and Schnackenberg models, led to a basic understanding of model behavior. This knowledge was applied to create new models in an effort to begin a transition from previously created models to the construction of models unique to the Air Force.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Bioactive pigments from marine bacteria and their applications
Marine environments produce several unique natural compounds. Over the past two decades, marine product research, including microorganisms, has grown quickly. Science is growing interested in microbial metabolites, especially those with unique colour pigments, due to their extensive pharmacological activity despite the difficulties of isolating and harvesting marine microbes. Studies on morphology and biochemistry characterised the selected microorganisms. Both Micrococcus sp and Brevibacterium sp were identified. The data showed that Micrococcus sp's pigment was 2-Amino-N-(2 ((3,3- dimethyl cyclohex-1-enyl) methyl amino)-2-oxo ethyl) acetamide and Brevibacterium sp's was 2,5-Diphenyl-1H-pyrrole. The laboratory-scale growth and pigment generation of pigmented bacteria was also measured utilising one-factor-at-a-time. Crude pigments were tested for anti-microbial, wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Pigments' food colouring and dyeing capability were also assessed.
