(2018)Protistal 18S rDNA, subseafloor archaeal 16S rDNA and bacterial sedimentary metagenomics profiling was performed in sediments of the NE Arabian Sea, the Red Sea and the Black Sea respectively using paleogenomic techniques ...
-
(2019)In this research, laboratory-based experiments were conducted to investigate the volumetric and mechanical behaviour of expansive soils. The effects of clay mineralogy, initial water content and preconsolidation stress ...
-
(2018)Using molecular line observations, this thesis studied the molecular clouds of three typical regions of the Milky Way, which are the Galactic centre, high Galactic latitudes, and the Galactic plane. The properties of ...
-
(2018)Mercury is present as trace contaminants in various gas reservoirs. Dynamic solubility of HgCl2 and Ph2Hg mercury have been investigated in this work. Parameters involving absorption characteristics and reaction kinetics ...
-
(2018)The slow leach rate of copper from chalcopyrite in acid solutions has often been attributed to the formation of a poorly soluble “passive” layer on the surface. For this study, it has been shown that no such passive layer ...
-
Physiological Responses of Juvenile Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) Fed Processed Animal Protein Diets(2018)The research investigated the effectiveness of proteins from tuna hydrolysate (TH) and poultry by product meal (PBM), as fishmeal (FM) protein replacements. The results demonstrated that replacement of 10% FM with TH ...
-
(2018)This thesis presents a multifaceted approach to understanding seed survival during fire. I considered seed survival of high temperatures in the context of seed moisture content, soil temperature, and seed depth in the ...
-
(2018)The complex interplay between the physical and flow properties of shales was investigated. A methodology was developed to estimate free and bound porosity fractions from NMR-T2 experiments on shales, while a second order ...
-
(2018)A study contributing to the existing literature by conceptualising a holistic model of the operation of word-of-mouth communications. Operationalized through a mixed methods research design, the study provides empirical ...
-
(2018)High efficient visible-light-responsive photocatalysts have attracted numerous attention in photocatalytic degradation of pollutants and solar energy conversion. Various bismuth-based and graphitic carbon nitride-based ...
