Electron paramagnetic resonance studies of spin-labelled ethidium bromide DNA interactions
Thesis
Keeble, D. J. (1986). Electron paramagnetic resonance studies of spin-labelled ethidium bromide DNA interactions

Spin-Labelled Ethidium Bromide (SLEB) was prepared in order to study its interactions with natural DNA in the form of fibres . The technique of electron paramagnetic resonance was used in this thesis. Knowledge of the conformational transition pathwa...

The determination of excess thermodynamic functions of binary liquid mixtures
Thesis
Sibanda, V. S. (1986). The determination of excess thermodynamic functions of binary liquid mixtures

The work involved the determination of excess thermodynamic functions of binary liquid mixtures by experimental and theoretical means. Experimentally, excess Gibbs functions(GE), and excess volumes(VE) were determined. The theoretical work involved t...

Optoacoustic frequency stabilization of a carbon dioxide laser
Thesis
Abdallah Abu-Taha, M. I. (1987). Optoacoustic frequency stabilization of a carbon dioxide laser

In this thesis a study has been made of the design, construction and, in particular, frequency stabilization of a d.c. excited carbon dioxide laser. The outline of the theory of the carbon dioxide laser is presented as a prelude to a detailed study o... Read More about Optoacoustic frequency stabilization of a carbon dioxide laser.

Kinetic studies of polyene exchange and substitution in low valent octahedral metal complexes
Thesis
Ashford, N. F. (1987). Kinetic studies of polyene exchange and substitution in low valent octahedral metal complexes

The kinetics of polyene exchange and substitution in (polyene)Cr(CO)3 complexes has been investigated. The exchange reaction involving displacement of complexed polyene for free polyene (Chapter 2) has shown two competing rate determining pathways to...

Infrared studies of classical novae and the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi
Thesis
Callus, C. M. (1987). Infrared studies of classical novae and the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi

This work is concerned with new observations, within the 1-100um infrared wavelength range, of novae and with models to explain these and existing observations of these objects. The first half is concerned with the classical novae. Some of these obj... Read More about Infrared studies of classical novae and the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi.

Dynamic properties of an ammonia maser incorporating a disc resonator
Thesis
Davis, J. A. (1987). Dynamic properties of an ammonia maser incorporating a disc resonator

The oscillation properties of an ammonia maser employing dual molecular beams and a Fabry-Perot type disc resonator are investigated. The molecular beam flux is pulsed by the use of small fuel injection valves. The resulting gas pulses entering the m...

Chemical and morphological investigations of the Ontogenetic effects of Novel Psychoactive Substances on forensically important blowfly species (Diptera: Calliphoridae).
Thesis
Garrett, E. R. (2018). Chemical and morphological investigations of the Ontogenetic effects of Novel Psychoactive Substances on forensically important blowfly species (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Post Mortem Interval (PMI) estimation is a key concern of forensic entomology research. Numerous factors are recognized to affect these calculations, and have shown to potentially introduce error, leading to an incorrect time of death estimation. One...
