Model Compounds for the Photoactivation of Glycosyl Donors
Nature exhibits complex arrays of carbohydrates in many different forms. Carbohydrate chemists still face many challenges in the synthesis of these complex substrates. This project aims to offer carbohydrate chemists a novel way of activating the anomeric position of a sugar by light to promote …

Ethical Criteria for Uterine Transplant Recipients & Donors in Clinical Practice
… for ethically selecting UTx recipients and donors are limited. At its core, UTx is an organ donation being used as an assisted reproductive technology (ART), therefore this thesis will use the considerations and discussions surrounding organ donations and ARTs to inform an assessment of the …

Studies on organic electron donors and their applications in chemistry
Electron transfer reactions using organic donors have been and are still successfully applied in the Murphy group to perform reductions usually requiring heavy metals. This thesis focuses on several organic electron donors used to: (i) promote the cross-coupling reaction between aryl halides and …

Super electron donors powerful reductions performed by neutral organic molecules
… Finally the field of neutral organic electron-donors, which form the basis of my studies, is introduced. Chapters Two to Seven then summarise my work. Chapter Two and the second part of Chapter Six highlight my adventures in investigating the chemistry of donor 1. Until now, donor 1 is known to …

Broadening the scope of reactivity for neutral organic electron donors
Reduction and oxidation of functional groups are some of the fundamental transformations in inorganic and organic synthesis. Compound A has been shown to be a powerful neutral organic electron donor capable of the reductive bond cleavage of various σ-bonds. Photoactivation of donor A (to A*) has …

Iron deficiency in blood donors: causes, symptoms, and mitigation strategies
… pre-donation testing for iron status allows many donors with iron deficiency to donate blood. This dissertation seeks to enhance our understanding of the causes of iron deficiency among blood donors, the resultant symptoms, and the likely effectiveness of alternate strategies for reducing the risk …

Quantum Computation With Electron Spins of Phosphorous Donors in Silicon
… by the spins of electrons bound to phosphorous donors in silicon. Encoding each qubit in terms of three neighboring donor electron spins, we can realize universal quantum gate operations with only the Heisenberg exchange coupling J S1 •S2 between neighboring donors. Therefore, studying the …

Philanthropic Motivations of Female Donors to Virginia's 4-H Program
… the many significant contributions of female donors, women's philanthropy has been largely unrecognized. Women have been left out of the majority of research on philanthropy, thus traditional male-based models of fundraising may not translate well with female prospects because of gender …

Athletics donors' preferences for an athletics director's leadership characteristics and behaviors
… using survey questions was designed to ask donors to respond to questions pertaining to an Athletic Director’s (AD) behavior, philosophy, and actions. The donors were asked to rate on a scale of 1-5 whether they preferred a stated characteristic or behavior. In addition to this set of …

Regulation of cataractogenesis in cultured bovine lenses by hydrogen sulfide donors
There is no drug for cataracts, a leading cause of blindness. However, L-cysteine reportedly mitigates cataractogenesis, in vitro and in vivo. Here, we sought to standardize a new method for screening cataractogenesis and assess the effect of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on cataractogenesis. Bovine …

Donors with cognitive impairment: an inevitable situation for higher education fundraisers
… it pertained to their interactions with elderly donors exhibiting signs of cognitive impairment. Significant autonomy, lack of resources, and minimal oversight in their roles result in fundraisers often being forced to make their own determinations about what interactions are appropriate when …

Recommended Interventions to Reduce the Risk of Iron Deficiency in Blood Donors
Numerous studies indicate that US blood donors, especially women, have a high prevalence of iron deficiency. Iron is lost with each blood donation, and since donors are eligible to donate blood every eight weeks, it is a challenge to maintain iron balance in frequent blood donors. Prior to blood …

Detection of HCMV viral IL-10 (vIL-10) in healthy blood donors
… cells. Specimens from healthy blood donors were tested for HCMV serostatus and vIL-10 levels. Of the thirty seropositive donors, twenty had detectable plasma vIL-10 levels while ten had no detectable vIL-10 levels. The results suggest that the custom vIL-10 ELISA was effective in …
