Thesis
(1983). Recent and late quaternary ecology, distribution and provincialism of Ostracoda in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans

A total of 393 samples were examined, of which 259 samples contained ostracods. Some 15,800 individual benthonic ostracod specimens were counted and assigned to 172 species. Of these, 1250 individuals of 58 species were live.

The cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor AZD5438 was in development by AstraZeneca for treatment of solid tumours where it showed a pattern of emerging toxicity loosely correlated with exposure during clinical trials in patients. Metabolites identified... Read More about An investigation into the biotransformation and enzymology of a methyl-imidazole containing cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor.

Heterocyclic NO-donors as anti-cancer agents
Thesis
(2012). Heterocyclic NO-donors as anti-cancer agents

Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in numerous biological processes including cancer, where this small diatomic radical can exert both pro- and anti-cancer effects. Two series of novel NO-donors were synthesised in this work, the first representing an ext... Read More about Heterocyclic NO-donors as anti-cancer agents.

Mining-induced seismicity of the North Staffordshire coalfield
Thesis

Since the latter part of the last century several areas in North Staffordshire have experienced occasional series of earth tremors which are known locally as "goths" or "bumps". In early 1975 a series of earth tremors, culminating in a large tremor o... Read More about Mining-induced seismicity of the North Staffordshire coalfield.

The application of numerical modelling techniques to the mechanisms of reservoir- and mining-induced seismicity
Thesis
(1981). The application of numerical modelling techniques to the mechanisms of reservoir- and mining-induced seismicity

A survey of the 31 case histories of reservoir-induced seismicity has failed to Indicate any relationships between the geology of an area and the induced tremors. The occurrence of induced seismicity Is however related to the water height and, to a l...

Neighbourhood attachment and patterns of behaviour: a theoretical and empirical analysis of urban life
Thesis
(1981). Neighbourhood attachment and patterns of behaviour: a theoretical and empirical analysis of urban life

This thesis sets out to examine the spatial aspects of microsocial behaviour at the neighbourhood level. It seeks to achieve a better understanding of what ordinary people think about their local area, and how this affects their behaviour within that...

Karst palaeoenvironments: a reconstruction with particular reference to the Morecambe Bay area
Thesis
(1981). Karst palaeoenvironments: a reconstruction with particular reference to the Morecambe Bay area

At least four phases of karst development can be recognised in the Morecambe Bay area of northwest England : an intra-Carboniferous phase resulting from intermittent subaerial erosion associated with temporary falls in the level of the Lower Carbonif...
