Overcoming the seasonal variations in fitness of the amphipod Corophium Volutator as an environmental toxicology test species using laboratory cultured specimens. (2014)
Thesis
MCGEE, D. 2014. Overcoming the seasonal variations in fitness of the amphipod Corophium Volutator as an environmental toxicology test species using laboratory cultured specimens. Robert Gordon University, MRes thesis.

The marine amphipod Corophium volutator is an important source of food for many fish and wading birds, making it an important species in an estuarine environment and a relevant toxicological test species. Historical data has indicated that seasonal v...

Studies investigating the mechanisms of the cardioprotective effects of Cannabidiol. (2014)
Thesis
HEPBURN, C.Y. 2014. Studies investigating the mechanisms of the cardioprotective effects of Cannabidiol. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The phytocannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) has a complex pharmacology which is thought to include, but is not limited to, an ability to act as an inverse agonist at the CB1 and CB2 receptors and an antagonist of GPR55. Moreover, is has been shown to redu... Read More about Studies investigating the mechanisms of the cardioprotective effects of Cannabidiol..

Optimisation of high value metabolite production from benthic marine dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima. (2014)
Thesis
PRAPTIWI, R.A. 2014. Optimisation of high value metabolite production from benthic marine dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Toxins produced by harmful algal blooms (HABs) are known to pose contamination risks to seafood products (e.g. fish and shellfish) consumed by human. In order to control contamination risks, monitoring regimes have to be performed rigorously. The eff...

An exploration of ehealth and digital literacy in pharmacy practice. (2014)
Thesis
MACLURE, K. 2014. An exploration of ehealth and digital literacy in pharmacy practice. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The aim of this research programme was to explore ehealth technology in pharmacy practice in Scotland and, by doing so, contribute original knowledge to this area. Strategists worldwide believe technology has the potential to promote quality, safety... Read More about An exploration of ehealth and digital literacy in pharmacy practice..
