The application of low aspect ratio hydrofoils to the secure positioning of static equipment in tidal streams. (2007)
Thesis
OWEN, A. 2007. The application of low aspect ratio hydrofoils to the secure positioning of static equipment in tidal streams. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The costs of installing tidal energy technology are high, requiring expensive vessels to drill sockets in the sea bed or to handle gravity based structures of substantial mass, and this impacts on the commercial viability of any proposed marine renew...

Evaluation and testing of a novel photocatalytic reactor with model water pollutants. (2007)
Thesis
MOHAMMED, A.O. 2007. Evaluation and testing of a novel photocatalytic reactor with model water pollutants. Robert Gordon University, MRes thesis.

Semiconductor photocatalysis is a newly emerging technology for the elimination of harmful chemical compounds from air and water. It couples low-energy ultraviolet light with semiconductors acting as photocatalyst and thereby overcoming many of the d...

An analysis of the development of family health nursing in Scotland through policy and practice 1998-2006. (2007)
Thesis
MACDUFF, C. 2007. An analysis of the development of family health nursing in Scotland through policy and practice 1998-2006. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

In 1998 World Health Organisation Europe outlined a vision of a new community-based nurse called the Family Health Nurse (FHN) who would help individuals, families and communities to cope with illness and to improve their health. Scotland was the fir... Read More about An analysis of the development of family health nursing in Scotland through policy and practice 1998-2006..

Culture, change and individual differences in the Scottish episcopal church. (2007)
Thesis
BROWN, M.L. 2007. Culture, change and individual differences in the Scottish episcopal church. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

There is continuing interest in religion and spirituality in Britain, although membership of mainstream churches is declining. Perceived secularisation of contemporary British society, together with increasing competition from New Age movements, is c...

Detection, analysis, and photocatalytic destruction of the freshwater taint compound geosmin. (2007)
Thesis
BELLU, E. 2007. Detection, analysis, and photocatalytic destruction of the freshwater taint compound geosmin. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

A significant issue affecting the aquaculture and water industries is the presence of off-flavour compounds in water, which cause problems by imparting an undesirable earthy/musty flavour and smell to water and fish. Two predominant off-flavour compo... Read More about Detection, analysis, and photocatalytic destruction of the freshwater taint compound geosmin..

Molecular mechanisms of nutrient mediated regulation of hypoxia inducible factor -1a(HIF-1a) in endothelial cells. (2007)
Thesis
HECTOR, E.E. 2007. Molecular mechanisms of nutrient mediated regulation of hypoxia inducible factor -1a(HIF-1a) in endothelial cells. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Poorly-controlled diabetes mellitus is associated with the development of chronic vascular complications, which cause morbidity and premature mortality. Many studies have highlighted that maintenance of normal blood glucose levels in all people with...

Composite inorganic membranes for hydrogen reaction, separation and purification. (2007)
Thesis
EL-ZAROUK, K.M.2007. Composite inorganic membranes for hydrogen reaction, separation and purification. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Silica-alumina composite membranes for hydrogen separation and high temperature chemical reactions were prepared using both conventional and modified dip-coating techniques. These were deposited on commercially available a.-alumina macroporous suppor... Read More about Composite inorganic membranes for hydrogen reaction, separation and purification..

Timber frame construction in North East Scotland: a century of precedent 1830s - 1930s. (2007)
Thesis
BRUCE, I.S. 2007. Timber frame construction in North East Scotland: a century of precedent 1830s - 1930s. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

This study was prompted by a natural inquisitiveness about the concentration of timber buildings in both Braemar on Deeside and Fochabers on Speyside, and the assumed association with the history of timber extraction in the respective river systems....
