The effects of increased atmospheric reactive nitrogen deposition upon rates of biological nitrogen fixation in peatlands and temperate forests (2020)
Thesis
Saiz Val, E. (2020). The effects of increased atmospheric reactive nitrogen deposition upon rates of biological nitrogen fixation in peatlands and temperate forests. (Thesis). Keele University

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is a microbial process that fixes atmospheric nitrogen (N2) gas into reactive, bioavailable forms (Nr). Naturally, lightning and BNF accounted for the entire Nr available for plant and microbial metabolic demands. H...

Thesis
Tunstall, L. V. (2018). Synthesis and biological evaluation of three novel antimalarial series. (Thesis). Keele University. Retrieved from https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/411425

This research explored the optimisation of three novel antimalarial series based on the MMV compound leads shown below.
Extensive research began to optimise these potent hits through exploration of multiple functional group substitutions on two or... Read More about Synthesis and biological evaluation of three novel antimalarial series.

Polymorphic transitions in cocoa butter studied by time resolved small-angle and wide-angle x-ray scattering using synchrotron radiation
Thesis
(2012). Polymorphic transitions in cocoa butter studied by time resolved small-angle and wide-angle x-ray scattering using synchrotron radiation

X-ray diffraction is a non-destructive technique which may be used to reveal information about the structure of materials, and is already a widely used tool in the study and determination of the polymorphic nature of cocoa butter and associated triac...

Linear and non-linear modelling of thermoacoustic instabilities in a laboratory burner
Thesis
(2014). Linear and non-linear modelling of thermoacoustic instabilities in a laboratory burner

Thermoacoustic instabilities are a mayor problem in industrial combustors, where they can lead to catastrophic hardware damage. An industrial gas turbine combustion chamber is a very complex and expensive system. Thus, a laboratory burner has been bu...

The design and synthesis of drug carrier molecules to improve oral bioavailability via hPepT1
Thesis
(2016). The design and synthesis of drug carrier molecules to improve oral bioavailability via hPepT1

PepT1 (SLC15A1) is a low affinity high capacity, di- and tri-peptide transmembrane transporter primarily located in the brush border membrane in the small intestines. As well as transporting oligopeptides, PepT1 has been discovered to transport a wid... Read More about The design and synthesis of drug carrier molecules to improve oral bioavailability via hPepT1.

A survey of the levels of pesticides in bees, their colonies and forage
Thesis
Wisniewski, K. D. (2016). A survey of the levels of pesticides in bees, their colonies and forage

Bees provide important and economically valuable pollination services to agriculture and other ecosystems. Recent global honeybee declines have been attributed to pesticides, which can ultimately affect the overall functioning and survival of a colon...

Neutrons reveal the structure and dynamics of osteopontin phosphopeptides and nanocluster formation
Thesis
(2017). Neutrons reveal the structure and dynamics of osteopontin phosphopeptides and nanocluster formation

In bovine milk the highly phosphorylated cleavage fragment of osteopontin (OPN1-149) is capable of stabilising high concentrations of calcium phosphate ions by formation of calcium phosphate nanoclusters (CPN). Here OPN1-149 isolated from bovine milk... Read More about Neutrons reveal the structure and dynamics of osteopontin phosphopeptides and nanocluster formation.
