Evaluation of TiO2 and Ag-TiO2, CuO-TiO2 composite films for self-disinfection activity (2009)
Thesis
Steele, K. Evaluation of TiO2 and Ag-TiO2, CuO-TiO2 composite films for self-disinfection activity. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The removal or killing of microorganisms on surfaces is of concern in the health care setting, food preparation areas and general work environment. The use of TiO2 photosterilisation has been proposed as an alternative to chemical disinf... Read More about Evaluation of TiO2 and Ag-TiO2, CuO-TiO2 composite films for self-disinfection activity.

Aetiology of acute diarrhoea in hospitalized children, Tripoli, Libya (2007)
Thesis
Gusbi, M. Aetiology of acute diarrhoea in hospitalized children, Tripoli, Libya. (Thesis). University of Salford

Two studies were performed to detect aetiology of acute diarrhoea in hospitalized children aged under five years in Tripoli, Libya. In the first study, two hundred and thirty-six stool samples were obtained. Of these, 118 were from patients admitted...

Mechanistic studies on aziridinylbenzoquinones and CCNU [l-(2-chloroethyl)- 3-cyclohexyl-l-nitrosourea] in cultured tumour cells (2007)
Thesis
Ben Raba, F. Mechanistic studies on aziridinylbenzoquinones and CCNU [l-(2-chloroethyl)- 3-cyclohexyl-l-nitrosourea] in cultured tumour cells. (Thesis). University of Salford

This work is concerned with the action of two different anticancer drugs which can alkylate DNA in tumour cells. The first alkylating agent studied was CCNU [(l-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-lnitrosourea, Lomustine]. This is a well established clin...

Isolation of novel antibiotic producing microorganisms from invertebrates
Thesis
Ghanbour, H. (in press). Isolation of novel antibiotic producing microorganisms from invertebrates. (Thesis). University of Salford

Because of the increased incidence of antibiotic resistance there is an increasing need to isolate new microorganisms producing new antibiotics. Because conventional sources such as soil have been exhausted, attention has been turned to unexplored so... Read More about Isolation of novel antibiotic producing microorganisms from invertebrates.
