Analyte sensing with luminescent quantum dots. (2009)
Thesis
MULROONEY, R. 2009. Analyte sensing with luminescent quantum dots. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Semiconducting nanocrystals otherwise known as Quantum Dots (QDs) have attracted considerable attention over the last number of years due to their unique optical properties and potential applications. Their narrow size-tunable emission spectra, broad... Read More about Analyte sensing with luminescent quantum dots..

Environmental risk management of contamination of marine biota by hydrocarbons specifically those arising following an oil spill. (2009)
Thesis
ENWERE, R. 2009. Environmental risk management of contamination of marine biota by hydrocarbons specifically those arising following an oil spill. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Marine pollution resulting from oil spillage has received much attention mostly due to the damaging effects it has on fisheries and aquacultures. One component of oil that is widely studied due to its toxic and carcinogenic properties is the polycycl...

Cellular mechanisms of acute hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in intrapulmonary veins. (2009)
Thesis
DOSPINESCU, C. 2009. Cellular mechanisms of acute hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in intrapulmonary veins. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

In the pulmonary circulation, alveolar hypoxia contributes to blood flow regulation. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) involves both pulmonary arteries and veins, but little is known of the contractile mechanisms specific to the veins. The aim...
