Welcome to Edinburgh Napier Research Repository

The ‘Research Repository’ is the open access institutional repository of Edinburgh Napier University. It contains examples of research outputs produced by staff and research students, as well as related information about the university's funded projects and staff research interests.

Whenever possible, refereed documents accepted for publication, or finished artistic compositions presented in public, will be made available here in full digital format, and hyperlinks to standard published versions will be provided. Any questions about submissions to the repository or problems with access to any of its content should be sent to the Repository Team at repository@napier.ac.uk

Data-driven Discovery of Manufacturing Processes and Performance from Worker Localisation (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Aslan, A., El-Raoui, H., Hanson, J., Vasantha, G., Quigley, J., & Corney, J. (in press). Data-driven Discovery of Manufacturing Processes and Performance from Worker Localisation.

In complex manufacturing industries that are not fully automated and involve human workers it is important to identify deviations from the planned production schedule and locate bottlenecks for improved efficiency. This is not an easy task as it req... Read More about Data-driven Discovery of Manufacturing Processes and Performance from Worker Localisation.

A Knowledge Graph Approach for State-Of-The-Art Implementation of Industrial Factory Movement Tracking System (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Vasantha, G., Aslan, A., Hanson, J., El-Raoui, H., Corney, J., & Quigley, J. (in press). A Knowledge Graph Approach for State-Of-The-Art Implementation of Industrial Factory Movement Tracking System.

Digital sensing technologies are essential for realizing Industry 4.0, as they enhance productivity, assist with real-time decision-making, and provide flexibility and agility in manufacturing factories. However, implementing these technologies can b... Read More about A Knowledge Graph Approach for State-Of-The-Art Implementation of Industrial Factory Movement Tracking System.

Movement Tracking-based In-Situ Monitoring System for Additive Manufacturing (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Vasantha, G., Aslan, A., Lapok, P., Lawson, A., & Thomas, S. (in press). Movement Tracking-based In-Situ Monitoring System for Additive Manufacturing.

Monitoring and identification of defects during additive manufacturing is mostly done by bespoke optical or acoustic measurement systems. These in-situ monitoring technologies are either intrusive or sensitive to noisy manufacturing environments. We...

Factor structure and psychometric properties of the Birth Satisfaction Scale–Revised in Portuguese postpartum women (2023)
Journal Article
Moreira, H., Hollins Martin, C. J., & Martin, C. (in press). Factor structure and psychometric properties of the Birth Satisfaction Scale–Revised in Portuguese postpartum women. Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1080/02646838.2023.2176473

Objective This study aims to develop a Portuguese-language version of the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) for clinical and research use in Portugal (PT-BSS-R). The factor structure, its invariance across depression levels, and the internal...

Agent based simulation of workers’ behaviours around hazard areas in manufacturing sites (2023)
Conference Proceeding
El Raoui, H., Quigley, J., Aslan, A., Vasantha, G., Hanson, J., Corney, J., & Sherlock, A. (in press). Agent based simulation of workers’ behaviours around hazard areas in manufacturing sites. In Proceedings of the Operational Research Society Simulation Workshop 2023 (SW23)

Rewards for risk taking behaviour by workers (if accidents do not occur) can be realised in the form of increased productivity or worker idle time. However, frequent unsafe behaviours of workers inevitably results in accidents and an associated loss...
