The use of carbon and gold electrodes in anodic stripping voltammetric heavy metal sensors. (1999)
Conference Proceeding
BONSEN, E.M., ROBERTSON, P.K.J., MCSTAY, D., POLLARD, P., BACKES, M. and SHAW, J. 1999. The use of carbon and gold electrodes in anodic stripping voltammetric heavy metal sensors. In White, N. and Augousti, A.T. (eds.) Sensors and their applications X: proceedings of the 10th Conference on sensors and their applications, 5-8 September 1999, Cardiff, UK. Bristol: IOP Publishing, pages 83-88.

The use of anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV)has been proven in the past to be a precise and sensitive analytical method with an excellent limit of detection. Electrochemical sensors could help to avoid expensive and time consuming procedures as samp...

The application of surface second harmonic sensor to probe laser induced modification of titanium dioxide. (1999)
Conference Proceeding
LEE, S.-K., VRILLET, G., AL-OBAIDI, A.H.R., ROBERTSON, P.K.J. and MCSTAY, D. 1999. The application of surface second harmonic sensor to probe laser induced modification of titanium dioxide. In White, N. and Augousti, A.T. (eds.) Sensors and their applications X: proceedings of the 10th Conference on sensors and their applications, 5-8 September 1999, Cardiff, UK. Bristol: IOP Publishing, pages 37-41.

The effects of high power pulsed laser light on a TiO2 photocatalyst have been investigated using a surface second harmonic generation (SSHG) sensor. When TiO2 is irradiated with a laser at 355mm a visible change in colour from white to dark blue cry...

Raman spectroscopy of laser irradiated titanium dioxide. (1999)
Conference Proceeding
LEE, S.-K., RICE, J.H., AL-OBAIDI, A.H.R., ROBERTSON, P.K.J. and MCSTAY, D. 1999. Raman spectroscopy of laser irradiated titanium dioxide. In White, N. and Augousti, A.T. (eds.) Sensors and their applications X: proceedings of the 10th Conference on sensors and their applications, 5-8 September 1999, Cardiff, UK. Bristol: IOP Publishing, pages 293-298.

Raman spectroscopy is applied to investigate the effect of exposure to high power laser radiation on the crystalline phases of TiO2. Measurement of the changes in the Raman spectra of TiO2 with exposure to laser radiation was reported. This has prove... Read More about Raman spectroscopy of laser irradiated titanium dioxide..

Pharmacist input into patients' self-reporting of adverse drug reactions. (1999)
Thesis
JARERNSIRIPORNKUL, N. 1999. Pharmacist input into patients' self-reporting of adverse drug reactions. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are common and should be reported to the CSM, particularly for newly marketed drugs. There is under-reporting of ADRs by doctors. Involving the patient in self-reporting, particularly when initiated by pharmacists is fea... Read More about Pharmacist input into patients' self-reporting of adverse drug reactions..

Physico-chemical treatment methods for the removal of microcystins (cyanobacterial hepatotoxins) from potable waters. (1999)
Journal Article
LAWTON, L.A. and ROBERTSON, P.K.J. 1999. Physico-chemical treatment methods for the removal of microcystins (cyanobacterial hepatotoxins) from potable waters. Chemical society reviews [online], 28(4), pages 217-224. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1039/A805416I

The incidence of cyanobacterial blooms in freshwaters, including drinking water reservoirs, has increased over the past few decades due to rising nutrient levels. Microcystins are hepatotoxins released from cyanobacteria and have been responsible for...

Investigation of mesophilic Aeromonas: response to hydrogen peroxide and role in false-positive Colilert reaction. (1999)
Thesis
LANDRÉ, J.B.P. 1999. Investigation of mesophilic Aeromonas: response to hydrogen peroxide and role in false-positive Colilert reaction. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Mesophilic Aeromonas are opportunistic human pathogens which produce a wide range of virulence factors and have been isolated from both untreated and chlorinated drinking waters. The presence of these microorganisms in the distribution systems sugges...

Purification, detection and biological effects of cyanobacterial toxins. (1999)
Thesis
MCELHINEY, J. 1999. Purification, detection and biological effects of cyanobacterial toxins. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Dense growths of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), known as blooms, commonly occur in fresh and brackish waters throughout the world. Cyanobacterial blooms present a considerable threat to water quality as many species produce toxins. These toxins ha...

Fermentation of resistant starch: implications for colonic health in the monogastric animal. (1999)
Thesis
REID, C.-A. 1999. Fermentation of resistant starch: implications for colonic health in the monogastric animal. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Retrograded starches are commonly found in foods due to the production and/or processing conditions they have received prior to consumption. These resistant starches escape digestion in the small intestine and are fermented in the colon by the microf...
