Convective boundary structure and mixing in stellar interiors (2021)
Thesis
Scott, L. J. A. (2021). Convective boundary structure and mixing in stellar interiors. (Thesis). Keele University

The treatment of convection remains one of the key uncertainties in stellar evolution. In particular, mixing processes at the boundaries of convective regions are complex and diffcult to define analytically. Therefore, hydrodynamic simulations are us...

An investigation into the biosynthesis of cuticular hydrocarbons in British ants using isotopically labelled diets and gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (2021)
Thesis
Shemilt, S. J. (2021). An investigation into the biosynthesis of cuticular hydrocarbons in British ants using isotopically labelled diets and gas chromatography - mass spectrometry. (Thesis). Keele University

Ants are one of only four groups which can be classed as being truly social, that is they demonstrate altruistic behaviours towards nestmates. However in order to do this there must be a complex nestmate recognition signal at work. This signal is gen...
