Synthesis of labelled desulfoglucosinolates and novel glucosinolate analogues
(University of St Andrews, 2000) - ThesisA number of novel deuterated desulfoglucosinolates have been prepared. These have been shown to be suitable internal standards for the quantitative LC-MS analysis of glucosinolates. Use of the deuterated desulfoglucosinolates ... -
Molluscan populations of the Eden Estuary, Fife, and the use of numerical taxonomy methods to determine their distribution patterns
(University of St Andrews, 1980) - ThesisThe aim of this study is twofold, firstly to recognize life and death assemblages among subfossils by using standard criteria and secondly to test the applicability of Numerical Taxonomy methods in defining biotopes and ... -
Vocal learning in the grey seal, (Halichoerus grypus) : an experimental approach
(University of St Andrews, 2003) - ThesisThis thesis presents a series of training experiments on three captive grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) pups in an effort to demonstrate vocal learning, the modifying of vocalisations in form due to experiences with those ... -
Solution of the crystal structure of human milk xanthine oxidoreductase
(University of St Andrews, 2002) - ThesisThis thesis reports the crystallization, structure solution and preliminary refinement of the demolybdo form of human milk XOR to a resolution of 3.5 A. Although the bovine milk XOR structure was also recently determined, ... -
Aggressive behaviour in tiger barbs (Barbus tetrazona)
(University of St Andrews, 1990) - ThesisThe aim of this project was to study aggressive behaviour in tiger barbs, Barbus tetrazona, and their hierarchy systems and to determine some of the factors which influence them. The linearity of hierarchies was investigated ...
