Starvation/stationary phase survival of Rhodococcus erythropolis SQ1: a physiological and genetic analysis (2008)
Thesis
Fanget, N. V. J. Starvation/stationary phase survival of Rhodococcus erythropolis SQ1: a physiological and genetic analysis. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2432

Although the starvation or non-growth state is probably the most common physiological state of bacteria, it has been studied in relatively few organisms. In spite of its importance in pathogenesis, bioremediation and several industrial processes, lim...

Investigating the frequency of senescent T lymphocytes with ageing, exercise and obesity (2008)
Thesis
Cosgrove, C. Investigating the frequency of senescent T lymphocytes with ageing, exercise and obesity. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2491

Cellular senescence is a state of permanent cell cycle arrest in which a cell is unable to further divide in response to normal growth stimuli. Telomere shortening, believed to be a mechanism of cellular senescence, is a result of numerous rounds of...

Influence of species diversity on the return of ecosystem functions in replanted mangroves in Kenya (2008)
Thesis
Kirui, B. K. Y. Influence of species diversity on the return of ecosystem functions in replanted mangroves in Kenya. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9236

Rates of loss of biodiversity caused by human action are on the increase worldwide. However implications of species loss on the natures' ability to provide ecosystem services and goods are still poorly understood. Despite providing an array of critic...
