Triplet-Triplet Energy Transfer in Organic Synthesis: Efforts toward a Chiral Lewis Acid Catalyzed De Mayo Reaction and Investigations of a Photoactive Ruthenium(polypyridyl)-NHC Complex
DownloadFall 2021
The fundamentals of energy transfer catalysis and its application in [2+2] photocycloadditions are thoroughly discussed. The De Mayo reaction is a UV light-promoted [2+2] photocycloaddition between enolic β-diketones and olefins that has been used to form α-substituted 1,5-diketones. Its...

Spring 2013
Top predators are known to regulate freshwater, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems. However, few studies have demonstrated trophic cascades in productive and biologically diverse terrestrial ecosystems. Elk Island National Park and surrounding protected areas have a wide range in the intensity of...

Trophic ecology of culturally important subsistence fish species and assessment of diet overlap with range-expanding chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) in the Canadian Arctic
DownloadFall 2024
Rapid climate change is occurring in the Arctic and has the potential to affect the diets and trophic dynamics of northern fish species, many of which hold great cultural value to northern communities. Fully understanding the trophic ecology of such fishes allows us to better understand their...

Trophic peptide therapies for neonatal short bowel syndrome: actions and mechanisms studied in a preclinical model
DownloadFall 2016
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) occurs when a significant length of intestine is surgically resected for both congenital and acquired intestinal abnormalities and remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. With an insufficient amount of intestine available for nutrient...
