The growth, physiology and intermediary metabolism of bacillus stearothermophilus. (1981)
Thesis
SIVASUBRAMANIAN, S. 1981. The growth, physiology and intermediary metabolism of bacillus stearothermophilus. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993306

The aims of this work were to determine whether a functional tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle was present in vegetative cells of B. stearothermophilus, and to understand the effects of growth conditions on the carbohydrate metabolism and cytochrome con...

Relations of production and exchange in the fishing and fish processing industries of North East Scotland. (1981)
Thesis
DEAS, B.C. 1981. Relations of production and exchange in the fishing and fish processing industries of North East Scotland. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993198

This thesis is an attempt to develop a socio-economic model of the fish catching, marketing and processing industries of north east Scotland. It does so with particular reference to the relations of production and exchange within the different sector...

An investigation of eddy diffusivities of momentum and heat in circular pipes. (1981)
Thesis
CHEONG-KI, C. 1981. An investigation of eddy diffusivities of momentum and heat in circular pipes. Council for National Academic Awards, PhD thesis.

The theoretical analysis of the present work was based on a thermodynamic approach, using the method of inference. An analysis was made to find the macroscopic turbulence transport properties from the description of microscopic behaviour of entities...

An investigation into aspects of consumer preference for some fish species using sensory evaluation techniques. (1981)
Thesis
HAMILTON, M. 1981. An investigation into aspects of consumer preference for some fish species using sensory evaluation techniques. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, MPhil thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993214

The attitudes of consumers towards white fish are discussed, and the sensory features of flesh products and their quality are considered. A review of the investigation of fish quality by sensory evaluation and instrumental techniques is presented and...

A computer-aided architectural design system for the analysis, synthesis and appraisal of domestic activity spaces and house plans. (1981)
Thesis
LANGSKOG, K. 1981. A computer-aided architectural design system for the analysis, synthesis and appraisal of domestic activity spaces and house plans. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1694942

Investigations on functional aspects of domestic activity spaces and of other related design theories have led to the formulation of novel design models for the analysis, synthesis and evaluation processes of house design. A theoretical model of the... Read More about A computer-aided architectural design system for the analysis, synthesis and appraisal of domestic activity spaces and house plans..

Influence of environmental conditions and architectural form on the design and thermal performance of the flat-plate solar collector system. (1981)
Thesis
ROBERTSON, P. 1981. Influence of environmental conditions and architectural form on the design and thermal performance of the flat-plate solar collector system. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis.

Solar heating systems, by the nature of their design and inherent thermal mass, are sensitive to the changes in the prevailing climatic conditions. A computer program has been developed to predict and display the dynamic performance of solar water he...
