Overcoming the seasonal variations in fitness of the amphipod Corophium Volutator as an environmental toxicology test species using laboratory cultured specimens. (2014)
Thesis
MCGEE, D. 2014. Overcoming the seasonal variations in fitness of the amphipod Corophium Volutator as an environmental toxicology test species using laboratory cultured specimens. Robert Gordon University, MRes thesis.

The marine amphipod Corophium volutator is an important source of food for many fish and wading birds, making it an important species in an estuarine environment and a relevant toxicological test species. Historical data has indicated that seasonal v...

Sudden flamingo deaths in Kenyan rift valley lakes. (2014)
Journal Article
STRAUBINGER-GANSBERGER, N., GRUBER, M., KAGGWA, M.N., LAWTON, L., ODUOR, S.O. and SCHAGERI, M. 2014. Sudden flamingo deaths in Kenyan rift valley lakes. Wildlife biology [online], 20(3), pages 185-189. Available from: https://doi.org/10.2981/wlb.00018

The East African Rift Valley Lakes Bogoria and Nakuru sometimes host around 75% of the world population of lesser flamingos Phoeniconaias minor. In this area, mysterious flamingo die-offs have occupied researchers for four decades. Recently, cyanobac... Read More about Sudden flamingo deaths in Kenyan rift valley lakes..

Photocatalytic destruction of volatile organic compounds from the oil and gas industry. (2014)
Thesis
TOKODE, O. 2014. Photocatalytic destruction of volatile organic compounds from the oil and gas industry. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is an advanced oxidation technology widely applied in environmental remediation processes. It is a relatively safe and affordable technology with a low impact on the environment, and has found applications in a number of...

Optimisation of high value metabolite production from benthic marine dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima. (2014)
Thesis
PRAPTIWI, R.A. 2014. Optimisation of high value metabolite production from benthic marine dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Toxins produced by harmful algal blooms (HABs) are known to pose contamination risks to seafood products (e.g. fish and shellfish) consumed by human. In order to control contamination risks, monitoring regimes have to be performed rigorously. The eff...

Mathematical modelling of quantum yield enhancements of methyl orange photooxidation in aqueous TiO2 suspensions under controlled periodic UV LED illumination. (2014)
Journal Article
TOKODE, O., PRABHU, R., LAWTON, L.A. and ROBERTSON, P.K.J. 2014. Mathematical modelling of quantum yield enhancements of methyl orange photooxidation in aqueous TiO2 suspensions under controlled periodic UV LED illumination. Applied catalysis B: environmental [online], 156-157, pages 398-403. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apcatb.2014.03.046

Quantum yields of the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange under controlled periodic illumination (CPI) have been modelled using existing models. A modified Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) rate equation was used to predict the degradation reaction...
