Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Botany, Biochemistry, Eucalyptus globulus, Pisum and Chromatography. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Chromera velia, Chloroplast and Mutant. When carried out as part of a general Biochemistry research project, his work on Metabolism and Terpene is frequently linked to work in Phospholipid and Membrane lipids, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His Eucalyptus globulus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nutrient, Herbivore and Wax. As part of one scientific family, Noel W. Davies deals mainly with the area of Chromatography, narrowing it down to issues related to the Organic chemistry, and often Tannin and Kovats retention index. His Terpinen-4-ol study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Monoterpene, Capillary column and Stationary phase.

His most cited work include:

  • Gas chromatographic retention indices of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes on methyl silicon and Carbowax 20M phases (1824 citations)
  • A photosynthetic alveolate closely related to apicomplexan parasites (366 citations)
  • Gas chromatographic quality control for oil of Melaleuca terpinen-4-ol type (Australian tea tree) (219 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Chromatography, Biochemistry, Eucalyptus globulus and Eucalyptus. His work on Myrtaceae, Eucalyptus nitens and Herbivore as part of general Botany research is often related to Boronia megastigma, thus linking different fields of science. His Herbivore study is associated with Ecology.

Chromatography is closely attributed to Analytical chemistry in his work. His Biochemistry study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Food science. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Arabidopsis thaliana under Auxin, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Arabidopsis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (35.25%)
  • Chromatography (15.83%)
  • Biochemistry (13.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Botany (35.25%)
  • Chromatography (15.83%)
  • Terpene (6.83%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Noel W. Davies mostly deals with Botany, Chromatography, Terpene, Internal medicine and Zoology. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mode of action and Horticulture. His research on Chromatography frequently links to adjacent areas such as Dissolved organic carbon.

Noel W. Davies has included themes like Eucalyptus gracilis, Herbivore and Phenology in his Terpene study. His work investigates the relationship between Internal medicine and topics such as Endocrinology that intersect with problems in Glycerol, Lipidology, Scent gland, Brushtail possum and Degree of unsaturation. His studies deal with areas such as Essential oil, Terpinen-4-ol, Melaleuca alternifolia oil and Enantiomer as well as Gas chromatography.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Non-structural carbohydrates in woody plants compared among laboratories. (122 citations)
  • Chromatographic methods for the isolation, separation and characterisation of dissolved organic matter. (37 citations)
  • Tryptophan metabolism, its relation to inflammation and stress markers and association with psychological and cognitive functioning: Tasmanian Chronic Kidney Disease pilot study (30 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

Noel W. Davies mainly investigates Botany, Food science, Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus and Gas chromatography. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Mode of action, Biochemistry, Venom, Allergen and Horticulture. The study incorporates disciplines such as Starch, Woody plant, Tannin, Sugar and Condensed tannin in addition to Eucalyptus globulus.

His research in Eucalyptus intersects with topics in Phylogenetics, Molecular phylogenetics, Root system and Interspecific competition. His Gas chromatography research is under the purview of Chromatography. His Chromatography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dissolved organic carbon, Enantiomer and Terpene.
