  • Photochemistry of 6-alkenyl-2-cyclohexenones : synthetic studies towards precursors of ryanodol

    Creator:
    Wang, Bingbing
    Abstract:
    Regiochemistry of intramolecular [2+2] photocycloadditions of oxygenated 6-alkenyl-3-alkoxy-2-cyclohexenones is studied. Application of this methodology to construct a key intermediate [3.3.2] bicyclic skeleton of ryanodol is described as well. Irradiation of (3-butenyl)compounds 3, 11, 14 and of (4-pentenyl)compound 6 afforded exclusively the linear photoadducts 4, 12, 15 and 7 respectively. Irradiation...

  • Aging in place : a contemporary social phenomenon

    Creator:
    Lee, Megan
    Abstract:
    Most aging individuals prefer to remain in a self-determined home environment, and generally aging adults want to remain in the same home or same community. The benefits of remaining in a self-determined private home environment while aging have been established. Because individuals present a diversity of needs, it takes interdisciplinary...

  • Synthetic studies toward a total synthesis of paeoniflorigenin

    Creator:
    Hong, Zhenqiu
    Abstract:
    A new approach towards a total synthesis of paeoniflorigenin is discussed. The approach involves the application of regio- and stereoselective [2+2] photocycloaddition for the preparation of a key intermediate, cyclobutanone 86, and model studies on diiodosamarium (Sm12) mediated pinacol coupling of a diketone. Intermolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition of a,13unsaturated lactam 33...

  • Homeownership : still the American Dream? Perceptions of homeownership in the post crisis era

    Creator:
    Micek, Thomas P.
    Abstract:
    "The American Dream" is an expression familiar to all Americans and the realization of the American Dream is tied closely to homeownership (Clinton, 1995). The recent financial crisis, with the housing and financial markets at levels not seen since the Great Depression, has resulted in widespread unemployment, continually dropping home...

  • The effects of paralysis and oligohydramnios on morphological and behavioral characteristics of the rat fetus in utero

    Creator:
    Del Real, Carmen
    Abstract:
    Two experiments were conducted to assess the effects of paralysis and oligohydramnios on the development of the rat fetus. Behavior was suppressed in utero by subcutaneous injections of curare or puncture of the amniotic membrane leading to oligohydramnios. In Experiment 1, fetuses were treated with curare, oligohydramnios, both, or a...

  • Person-environment fit and adaptation : exploring the interaction between person and environment in older age

    Creator:
    Lien, Laura L.
    Abstract:
    The ability to independently age in place requires an appropriate match between a person and the environment, or P-E fit. The person-environment interaction helps describe the adaptation processes employed in older age to achieve P-E fit, but is little understood. Therefore, the objective of this two-part study was to gain...

  • Perceptions of residential grab bars among community dwelling seniors

    Creator:
    Thrall, Patti L.
    Abstract:
    Despite the perceived importance of grab bars to facilitate aging-in-place and healthy aging, many community-dwelling older adults do not have them installed. The aim of this study was to investigate predictors of grab bar installation among well-educated community dwelling seniors. Data was collected quantitatively through an electronic survey of Oregon...

  • Designed to fit : tailored technologies for medical practitioners

    Creator:
    de Brum, Silvina
    Abstract:
    Although electronic medical records systems (EMR) present promising benefits, they have not yet been widely adopted. A problem facing many EMR are that they are disruptive technologies; their complex hardware and software are not designed to account for the clinicians' characteristics and needs, thus, demanding a steep learning curve and...

  • Interactive video communication technology and successful aging in place : applying the selective optimization with compensation model

    Creator:
    Yamamoto, Toshiko
    Abstract:
    This study utilized the theoretical framework of selective optimization with compensation (SOC) (Baltes, 1987; Baltes & Baltes, 1990) to interpret older adults' definitions about successful aging in place. Factors contributing to successful aging in place, including the importance of social interaction and perceptions of the usefulness of interactive video communication...

  • Kinetic analysis of avian sarcoma virus integrase in the presteady-state

    Creator:
    Bao, Kogan K.
    Abstract:
    Integrase catalyzes insertion of a retroviral genome into the host chromosome. Following reverse transcription, integrase binds specifically to the ends of the duplex retroviral DNA, endonucleolytically cleaves two nucleotides from each 3'-end (the processing activity), and inserts these ends into the host DNA (the joining activity) in a concerted manner....
