Changes in body composition after thermal injury in the rat. (1979)
Journal Article
AL SHAMMA, G.A., GOLL. C.C., BAIRD, T.B., BROOM, J., NICHOLAS, G.A. and RICHARDS, J.R. 1979. Changes in body composition after thermal injury in the rat. British journal of nutrition [online], 42(3), pages 367-375. Available at: https://doi.org/10.1079/BJN19790126

1. The effects on body composition, measured by direct techniques, of a controlled 25% body-surfacearea thermal injury have been studied in two groups of forty male Wistar rats. 2. The extent of weight loss in the animals was directly related to thei... Read More about Changes in body composition after thermal injury in the rat..

Investigation of the role of smooth muscle function in egg transport in the mouse oviduct. (1979)
Thesis
LEE, B. 1979. Investigation of the role of smooth muscle function in egg transport in the mouse oviduct. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993282

The time course of egg transport along the mouse oviduct is important for successful implantation to occur. It is generally accepted that variations in the innate contractile activity of the oviduct musculature regulate the rate of egg transport, but...

The creation and comparison of three contrasting programs for computer aided architectural design. (1979)
Thesis
MCCANN J.R.C. 1979. The creation and comparison of three contrasting programs for computer aided architectural design. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, MPhil thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993294

This thesis is an account of research in Computer Aided Architectural Design carried out at Scott Sutherland School of Architecture, Aberdeen, from October 1975 to September 1977. The work resulted in the creation of three main computer programs, of... Read More about The creation and comparison of three contrasting programs for computer aided architectural design..

The break-out behaviour of a suction anchor embedded in a granular soil. (1979)
Thesis
SAHOTA, B.S. 1979. The break-out behaviour of a suction anchor embedded in a granular soil. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, MPhil thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993204

The thesis describes an experimental investigation into the uplift behaviour of hemispherical suction anchors embedded in saturated sand. Anchor types are briefly discussed. Some existing theories related to plate-type anchors, for uplift foundations... Read More about The break-out behaviour of a suction anchor embedded in a granular soil..

Corrosion of steel in the marine splash-zone. (1979)
Thesis
SHAW, D. 1979. Corrosion of steel in the marine splash-zone. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993224

The effect of the marine splash-zone on corrosion rates of steels BS 4360 43A and 50D, Corten A and pure iron was assessed. Specimens were exposed at coastal and deep water sites as well as being subjected to splash-zone simulation in the laboratory.... Read More about Corrosion of steel in the marine splash-zone..
