Privacy-preserving systems around security, trust and identity (2022)
Thesis
Papadopoulos, P. Privacy-preserving systems around security, trust and identity. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University

Data has proved to be the most valuable asset in a modern world of rapidly advancing technologies. Companies are trying to maximise their profits by getting valuable insights from collected data about people’s trends and behaviour which often can be...

Generating unambiguous, natural and diverse referring expressions (2022)
Thesis
Panagiaris, N. Generating unambiguous, natural and diverse referring expressions. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University

Referring expression generation (REG) aims at generating natural language definite descriptions for objects within images called referring expressions (REs). Despite the substantial progress in recent years, REGmodels are still far frombeing perfect.... Read More about Generating unambiguous, natural and diverse referring expressions.

Bio-based construction materials for climate change mitigation: scalability and sustainability (2022)
Thesis
Hart, J. T. T. Bio-based construction materials for climate change mitigation: scalability and sustainability. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University

Construction products made from timber and other organic materials are understood to contribute to climate change mitigation by causing relatively low greenhouse gas emissions in the supply chain, whilst also storing biogenic carbon within the materi...

On reliable and secure RPL (routing protocol low-power and lossy networks) based monitoring and surveillance in oil and gas fields (2022)
Thesis
Wadhaj, I. On reliable and secure RPL (routing protocol low-power and lossy networks) based monitoring and surveillance in oil and gas fields. (Thesis by Publication). Edinburgh Napier University

Different efforts have been made to specify protocols and algorithms for the successful operation of the Internet of things Networks including, for instance, the Low Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) and Linear Sensor Networks (LSNs). Into such efforts... Read More about On reliable and secure RPL (routing protocol low-power and lossy networks) based monitoring and surveillance in oil and gas fields.

Investigation of fibre optic sensing techniques for the measurement of physical-chemical properties of liquids (2022)
Thesis
Binetti, L. Investigation of fibre optic sensing techniques for the measurement of physical-chemical properties of liquids. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University

Single-mode optical fibre (SMF) sensors have been extremely useful in biomedical applications because of their small size and chemical inertness. Many optical fibre techniques have been used to measure the surface tension (𝛾) of liquids. However, due...

Identity and identification in an information society: Augmenting formal systems of identification with technological artefacts (2022)
Thesis
Abramsom, W. Identity and identification in an information society: Augmenting formal systems of identification with technological artefacts. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are transforming society’s information flows. These new interactive environments decouple agents, information and actions from their original contexts and this introduces challenges when evaluating trust...

With the vision of ubiquitous computing becoming increasingly realised, a need is identified to create a better understanding of the relationship between person, place, and technology in the urban environment. The aim of this research in the field of... Read More about UrbanIxD: Exploring human interactions for the hybrid city.

Advanced nickel barrier coatings: Manufacturing process and properties (2022)
Thesis
Rumbles, M. Advanced nickel barrier coatings: Manufacturing process and properties. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2963338

New-generation protective coatings should respond to mechanical or chemical damage with active corrosion inhibition, preserving coating integrity and adhesion to the substrate. Due to the implementation of legislation imposed by REACH (Restriction, E... Read More about Advanced nickel barrier coatings: Manufacturing process and properties.
