Donors are atoms or molecules that can donate electrons to another entity, typically in the context of semiconductor physics, where they enhance conductivity by providing free charge carriers. Ionized donors refer to these donor atoms that have lost an electron, creating a positively charged ion. In semiconductors, ionized donors contribute to the formation of free holes in the valence band, facilitating electrical conduction. The behavior of these donors is crucial in determining the electrical properties of semiconductor materials.
The plural possessive form of "donor" is "donors'."
A blood donor is a person who donates blood for use in transfusion.
A doctorate donor is a donor that obtained a doctorate degree in his or her study. However, this could be in law, education, medical, and etc.
Type A preferred donor refers to a donor who has the same blood type as the recipient, making them the best match for a blood or organ donation. Permissible donors are those who have compatible blood types with the recipient, while incompatible donors have blood types that would cause a reaction if transplanted.
Organs from cadaveric donors come from people who have recently died and have willed their organs before death by signing an organ donor card, or are brain-dead. The donor's family must give permission
The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act allows the donation of organs at no cost to the donor or the donor's family. The same is true for tissue donors.
Most states absolve sperm donors of all parental rights and responsibilities in order to protect the donors and the parents using the donated sperm.
Living donors may be related or unrelated to the patient, but a related donor has a better chance of having a kidney that is a stronger biological match for the patient.
Donors of infected blood are entered into the Donor Deferral Register, a confidential national data base used to prevent deferred people from donating blood.
donor screening and deferral is employed. This involves donor education, taking a detailed health history of each prospective donor, and giving potential donors a simple physical examination
The list of living donor organs is shorter because not all organs can be donated while the donor is alive, due to the complexity of the organ and the impact on the donor's health. The most commonly donated organs from living donors are the kidney and liver, as they are organs that a person can live without or regenerate. Other organs, such as the heart or lungs, are not commonly donated from living donors due to the high risk involved.
B/c there aren't enough organ donors to supply the need for donor hearts.
