There was evidence of gene-environment interaction for risk genotype at IKZF1, whereby an apparently stronger genetic effect was observed if the mother took folic acid or if the father did not smoke prior to pregnancy (respective interaction P-values: 0.04, 0.05). There were no interactions of risk genotypes with age or sex (P-values >0.2). Our results evidence that interaction of genetic variants and environmental exposures may further alter risk of childhood ALL however, investigation in a larger population is required. If interaction of folic acid supplementation and IKZF1 variants holds, it may be useful to quantify folate levels prior to initiating use of folic acid supplements.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:52:33 AEST ]]> The hidden tragedy of rivers: a decade of unintentional fatal drowning in Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29151 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:18:34 AEST ]]> Amphiphilically Nanostructured Deep Eutectic Solvents https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43110 Tue 13 Sep 2022 13:36:25 AEST ]]> Understanding ambivalence in help-seeking for suicidal-people with comorbid depression and alcohol misuse https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37283 Thu 17 Sep 2020 15:29:22 AEST ]]> Comparison of direct, selective oxidation of methane by N₂O over Fe-ZSM-5, Fe-Beta, and Fe-FER catalysts https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37767 2O as oxidant. Spectroscopic and solid characterization tools including H2-TPR, in situ IR, N2 gas adsorption, CO chemisorption, and TGA-MS were used in the investigation. Ammonia adsorption data suggested that among the studied zeolites, H-FER zeolite contained the highest concentration of framework Al atoms, which are essential for the formation of active extra-framework Fe species. The oxidation state and redox active species of Fe-ZSM-5, Fe-Beta, and Fe-FER catalysts were studied by H2-TPR, which disclosed the presence of a unique reduction peak (originating from N2O pretreatment) centered at approximately 235 °C over the samples. The hydrogen consumption peak was more prominent over Fe-FER than other catalysts, demonstrating that the Fe-FER catalyst contained more active sites for N2O conversion in comparison to Fe-Beta and Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts. For IR spectra of NO adsorbed on the Fe zeolites, a band at 1874 cm–1 with a shoulder at 1894 cm–1 was observed over the three catalysts, suggesting the presence of extra-framework Fe clusters in ion exchange positions. We demonstrated these clusters are acting as active sites for the oxidation of methane with N2O. Bands of methoxy groups were observed in FTIR profiles of CH4 and N2O adsorbed on Fe-FER, Fe-ZSM-5, and Fe-Beta catalysts at 350 °C. Over Fe-FER, the concentration of silanol-bonded methoxy groups accounted for over 95% of all methoxy groups under all the reaction conditions studied. In comparison, for the Fe-ZSM-5 and Fe-Beta catalysts, the proportion was less than 80%. The catalytic activity studies showed that Fe-FER was the most active catalyst based on methane and N2O conversion, and displayed the highest selectivity to C1-oxygenates and dimethyl ether formation, while Fe-ZSM-5 obtained the highest selectivity to ethylene among the three catalysts. Fe-ZSM-5 was found to deactivate significantly due to coke formation.]]> Thu 15 Apr 2021 10:03:06 AEST ]]> Analysis of alcohol industry submissions against marketing regulation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26866 Thu 14 Oct 2021 14:46:38 AEDT ]]> Engineering defects in TiO2 for the simultaneous production of hydrogen and organic products https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50871 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:25:16 AEDT ]]>
