Fernandopulle, Shimal Chamikara
The first chapter of this thesis describes the development of a general route for the generation of selenium stabilized carbanions via a method that bypasses acid catalyzed formation of selenoacetals. Aldehydes are first converted into α-hydroxystannanes by nucleophilic addition of Bu3SnLi. The...

Nelson, A. G., Spaner, D. M., Frick, B., Clapperton, M.J., Hucl, P. J., Thavarajah, D., Quideau, S. A.
Abstract: Micronutrient deficiencies in the diet of many people are common and wheat is a staple food crop, providing a carbohydrate and micronutrient source to a large percentage of the world’s population. We conducted a field study to compare five Canadian red spring wheat cultivars (released...

Background People with kidney failure are often deficient in zinc and selenium, but little is known about the optimal way to correct such deficiency. Methods We did a double-blind randomized trial evaluating the effects of zinc (Zn), selenium (Se) and vitamin E added to the standard oral renal...

Arsenic is a potent environmental contaminant and human carcinogen, occurring naturally in the earth’s crust and entering the food chain through leeching into the water supply. Upon entering the body, inorganic arsenic is methylated to mono- and di-methylated forms, the trivalent versions of...

Water-Dispersible Magnetic Particle-Graphene Oxide Composites: Synthesis, Characterization and Application in the Removal of Selenium Oxyanions
DownloadSpring 2014
Selenium is toxic in excess with a high mobility in water. Existing adsorbents only show some removal capacity for selenite but perform poorly (typical removal percentage < 50 %) for selenate, the more bioavailable and soluble species. In this thesis, two Magnetic particle-Graphene Oxide...
