Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars (2022)
Thesis
Miller, N. J. (2022). Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars. (Thesis). Keele University

Modern high-precision spectroscopy and photometry has made it possible to directly measure masses and radii for stars in detached eclipsing binaries (DEBs) to 0.5% or better. These stars, due to their wide orbits, are suitable for testing models of s... Read More about Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars.

Internal mixing processes in massive stars: uncertainties and impact (2022)
Thesis
Kaiser, E. (2022). Internal mixing processes in massive stars: uncertainties and impact. (Thesis). Keele University

Massive stars are key contributors to the evolution of galaxies and many observed phenomena. Therefore, understanding them is crucial to explain the evolution of the Universe and its constituents. The evolution of massive stars is strongly in uenced... Read More about Internal mixing processes in massive stars: uncertainties and impact.

Nanostructured materials for sensor applications (2022)
Thesis
Jendrlin, M. (2022). Nanostructured materials for sensor applications. (Thesis). Keele University

The utilisation of zeolites as infrared spectroscopy-based gas sensors and as potentiometric sensors in zeolite modified electrodes is reported in this thesis. Commercial zeolites (NaX, NaY, MOR, FER, BEA-12, BEA-19 and ZSM-5) and prepared Sn-BEA ze... Read More about Nanostructured materials for sensor applications.

Chemical synthesis and biological evaluation of 4'-thionucleosides (2022)
Thesis
Guinan, M. (2022). Chemical synthesis and biological evaluation of 4'-thionucleosides. (Thesis). Keele University

Nucleoside analogues have proven to be highly successful chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of a wide variety of cancers and viruses. Several such compounds, including Sofosbuvir and Gemcitabine are the go-to option in first line treatments. Ho... Read More about Chemical synthesis and biological evaluation of 4'-thionucleosides.
