The determination of drug stability by HPLC assay of degradation products. (1986)
Thesis
SHIVJI, A.S.H. 1986. The determination of drug stability by HPLC assay of degradation products. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993300

This work evaluates the advantages in drug stability testing of following the decomposition by analysis of decomposition products. Conventional methods of drug stability testing are criticised and the limitations are shown to be largely a result of a...

A study of the effects of oxypertine on monoaminergic pathways in rat brain using a new HPLC/ECD method. (1986)
Thesis
CURLE, P.F. 1986. A study of the effects of oxypertine on monoaminergic pathways in rat brain using a new HPLC/ECD method. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993192

A new HPLC/ECD system for the measurement of the biogenic amines and their major metabolites has been developed. It comprises of a two column system, one for the analysis of the biogenic amines and one for the metabolites. The preparation of brain sa...

An in vitro study of the interactions of bacteria from the human colon. (1986)
Thesis
DUNCAN, A.J. 1986. An in vitro study of the interactions of bacteria from the human colon. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993268

An in vitro model system inoculated with human faeces was used to study the fermentation of mixtures of bran, cabbage, turnip, carrot and apple dietary fibres. The results suggested that the mixture in which a dietary fibre is supplied influenced its... Read More about An in vitro study of the interactions of bacteria from the human colon..

Flow induced acoustic resonances in heat exchangers. (1986)
Thesis
RAE, G.J. 1986. Flow induced acoustic resonances in heat exchangers. Council for National Academic Awads, PhD thesis.

This thesis describes an investigation into the acoustic phenomenon in in-line tubular heat exchangers subjected to cross flow. The flow through such a heat exchanger can result in the production of very high noise levels, which occur as a result of... Read More about Flow induced acoustic resonances in heat exchangers..

A study of the time course of fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate production in a septic mouse model. (1986)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
HEPBURN, D., BROOM, J. and SMITH, D.J. 1986. A study of the time course of fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate production in a septic mouse model. Proceedings of the Nutrition Society [online], 45(1), page 33A. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1079/PNS19860044

Where sepsis occurs in the post-surgical period, mortality rates tend to be high. In sepsis, metabolism is grossly disrupted with glucose becoming the preferred fuel for energy provision even where ketogenesis has been promoted.
