An investigation of contemporary public building design with particular reference to disabled peoples' design needs and designer awareness. (1992)
Thesis
MILNER, J. 1992. An investigation of contemporary public building design with particular reference to disabled peoples' design needs and designer awareness. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1695106

The hypothesis presented in this study is to test the theory that designers do not give adequate consideration to the needs of people with disabilities and that they perceive of people with disabilities as a separate minority who require 'special' pr...

The synthesis and structural examination of 3alpha, 5-cyclo-5alpha-androstane steroids. (1992)
Thesis
GIBB, B.C. 1992. The synthesis and structural examination of 3alpha, 5-cyclo-5alpha-androstane steroids. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The work described in this thesis is based on the synthesis and structural examination of several cyclosteroids. The a-aromatic steroid 3a, 5-cyclo-5c-androstan-6beta-ol- 17-one was used as a lead compound in an attempt to produce, in particular, the...

The monitoring of induction motor starting transients with a view to early fault detection. (1992)
Thesis
ELDER, S. 1992. The monitoring of induction motor starting transients with a view to early fault detection. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The aim of this work is to investigate the possibility of detecting faults in a 3 phase Induction motor by monitoring and analysing the transient line current waveform during the starting period. This is a particularly onerous time for the machine an... Read More about The monitoring of induction motor starting transients with a view to early fault detection..
