Cytotoxic compounds from the genus Centaurea. (2005)
Thesis
SHOEB, M. 2005. Cytotoxic compounds from the genus Centaurea. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

This thesis, which is divided into four chapters, represents an account on the isolation, identification and the assessment of bioactivity of cytotoxic compounds from the genus Centaurea (Family: Asteraceae alto Compositae), a large genus of about 50...

The development and application of statistical sampling regime to map out hydrocarbons in sediments. (2005)
Thesis
AHMED, A.S. 2005. The development and application of statistical sampling regime to map out hydrocarbons in sediments. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

This thesis investigates and develops a stratified random sampling design for sediments in an offshore oil field environment. The sampling area was partitioned equally into sixteen zones. Stratification was based on the near-field and far-field areas... Read More about The development and application of statistical sampling regime to map out hydrocarbons in sediments..

The photocatalytic destruction of the cyanotoxin, nodularin using Ti02. (2005)
Journal Article
LIU, I., LAWTON, L.A., BAHNEMANN, D.W. and ROBERTSON, P.K.J. 2005. The photocatalytic destruction of the cyanotoxin, nodularin using Ti02. Applied catalysis B: environmental [online], 60(3-4), pages 245-252. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apcatb.2005.03.006

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysis has been used to initiate the destruction of nodularin, a natural hepatotoxin produced by cyanobacteria. The destruction process was monitored using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis which has als... Read More about The photocatalytic destruction of the cyanotoxin, nodularin using Ti02..

A comparison of the effectiveness of TiO2 photocatalysis and UVA photolysis for the destruction of three pathogenic micro-organisms. (2005)
Journal Article
ROBERTSON, J.M.C., ROBERTSON, P.K.J. and LAWTON, L.A. 2005. A comparison of the effectiveness of TiO2 photocatalysis and UVA photolysis for the destruction of three pathogenic micro-organisms. Journal of photochemistry and photobiology A: chemistry [online], 175(1), pages 51-56. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jphotochem.2005.04.033

TiO2 photocatalysis has demonstrated efficacy as a treatment process for water contaminated with chemical pollutants. When exposed to UVA light TiO2 also demonstrates an effective bactericidal activity. The mechanism of this process has been reported...

Occurrence of toxigenic cyanobacterial blooms in freshwaters of Sri Lanka. (2005)
Journal Article
JAYATISSA, L.P., SILVA, E.I.L., MCELHINEY, J. and LAWTON, L.A. 2006. Occurrence of toxigenic cyanobacterial blooms in freshwaters in Sri Lanka. Systematic and applied microbiology [online], 29(2), pages 156-164. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.syapm.2005.07.007

A previous pioneering study of freshwater bodies in Sri Lanka revealed the presence of toxic cyanobacteria in three out of four water bodies tested. It was therefore important to perform a more detailed investigation into the presence of cyanobacteri... Read More about Occurrence of toxigenic cyanobacterial blooms in freshwaters of Sri Lanka..

Alternative strategies for security labelling/encoding of paper and plastic products. (2005)
Thesis
OFFICER, S.J. 2005. Alternative strategies for security labelling/encoding of paper and plastic products. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

A literature and patent review of current optical security techniques has been carried out and identified a need in the market for an improved optical security label to rival molecular fluorescent dyes. The label proposed was a rare earth (RE) doped... Read More about Alternative strategies for security labelling/encoding of paper and plastic products..
