Just a few preliminary thoughts ...
I would avoid an over-literal reliance on the passive when Richard refers to himself or his own dissertation. Instead of "This work describes X" or "X was researched" say "In this work I describe X" or "I describe X". That way you can reserve {-lu'} for things like "compounds derived from sugar", etc.
Also try {ghItlhvam} for "this work" (i.e. the entire dissertation) instead of {De'} "data, information".
In order to avoid the dreaded "question as object" problem - "I research how... " - let's restate some of this as questions.
>>This work describes the production and the properties of compounds
>>derived from sugar and (chemical) fundamental compounds from the
>>fourth, fifth and sixth group.

As you can see, it still needs some work. I emailed Richard that we may be able to get this back to him sometime Friday.
