Development and evaluation of oral solid dosage forms for colonic delivery of drugs for the treatment of cystinosis. (2010)
Thesis
IBIE, C.O. 2010. Development and evaluation of oral solid dosage forms for colonic delivery of drugs for the treatment of cystinosis. Robert Gordon University, MRes thesis.

Modified-release multiparticulate pellets have been produced by the process of extrusion and spheronisation for colon-targeted delivery of cystamine, a cysteamine derivative. Orally-ingested cysteamine formulations, used in the treatment of cystinosi...

The characterisation and identification of body fluid proteins for forensic purposes. (2010)
Thesis
VINCINI, L. 2010. The characterisation and identification of body fluid proteins for forensic purposes. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Advances in DNA technology have led to the extremely sensitive and rapid analysis methods used in forensic science. It can often be crucial to a criminal case to unequivocally identify the body fluid source of DNA. This is of particular importance in...

Novel bisnaphthalimidopropyl polyamine derivatives: their mode of action in a breast cancer cell system. (2010)
Thesis
BARRON, G. 2010. Novel bisnaphthalimidopropyl polyamine derivatives: their mode of action in a breast cancer cell system. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The synthesis and characterisation of novel bisnaphthalimidopropyl polyamine (BNIPP) derivatives has gained pace over the last couple of years, as they have enhanced aqueous solubility without loss of biological activity in contrast to parent bisnaph...

The use of novel poly(allylamine) based amphiphilic polymers for drug delivery. (2010)
Thesis
HOSKINS, C. 2010. The use of novel poly(allylamine) based amphiphilic polymers for drug delivery. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Fourteen novel comb shaped amphiphilic polymers were successfully synthesised to determine the effect of polymer architecture on the potential of these amphiphilic polymers for hydrophobic drug delivery. Polyallylamine (PAA) was grafted with four dif... Read More about The use of novel poly(allylamine) based amphiphilic polymers for drug delivery..

Studies on the role of the endocannabinoid anandamide, as a possible modulator of events during neointimal formation. (2010)
Thesis
SKENE, K.E. 2010. Studies on the role of the endocannabinoid anandamide, as a possible modulator of events during neointimal formation. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Neointimal formation is a complex process that occurs due to the over compensatory healing response produced by the vessel following injury. Three key events, SMC proliferation, SMC migration and the inflammatory response, occur in unison to drive th...

Evaluation of methodology for detection and quantification of coliform bacteria and their survival in soil and water. (2010)
Thesis
BANNISTER, E. 2010. Evaluation of methodology for detection and quantification of coliform bacteria and their survival in soil and water. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

In Aberdeenshire, approximately 25,000 people rely on potable water from private water supplies. Many of these supplies are of questionable quality with regards to microbiological contamination, which is often due to a lack of maintenance and protect...
