Rheological, thermal and isostatic constraints on continental lithosphere extension and compression
Thesis
Egan, S. (1988). Rheological, thermal and isostatic constraints on continental lithosphere extension and compression

Deep seismic reflection data has shown the importance of low angle faults and detachments in continental extensional tectonics. A quantitative model of continental lithosphere extension is presented, incorporating geometric, thermal and isostatic com...

Strategies to prevent kidney injury from antibiotics in individuals with cystic fibrosis
Thesis
(2018). Strategies to prevent kidney injury from antibiotics in individuals with cystic fibrosis

Kidney damage in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is most commonly caused by antibiotics, such as aminoglycosides, which are used to treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). I conducted a survey of UK CF centres which showed a high rate of use of aminoglycosi... Read More about Strategies to prevent kidney injury from antibiotics in individuals with cystic fibrosis.

Computer modelling of pure and doped stoichiometric and congruent lithium niobate
Thesis
(2018). Computer modelling of pure and doped stoichiometric and congruent lithium niobate

This investigation has modelled lithium niobate in its congruent form, stoichiometric form and paraelectric phase to determine whether the preference of doping schemes changes, specifically when the concentration of a dopant is varied. Mott-Littleton... Read More about Computer modelling of pure and doped stoichiometric and congruent lithium niobate.

Delivering nanoengineered neural stem cells within neurosurgical grade biomaterials
