Adapting systems to differences between individuals (1991)
Journal Article
Jennings, F., Benyon, D., & Murray, D. (1991). Adapting systems to differences between individuals. Acta psychologica, 78(1-3), 243-256. https://doi.org/10.1016/0001-6918%2891%2990013-p

Adaptive systems should be able to accommodate the preferred interface styles of different users. An experiment was conducted in order to determine whether significant differences exist between individuals performing the same task, using different in...

Simulation of three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method on limited memory systems. (1991)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., & Gupta, N. K. (1991). Simulation of three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method on limited memory systems.

The authors discuss techniques in the modelling of electromagnetic fields using finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods applied to 80×86-based PCs or limited memory computers. Electrical modelling of structures is currently carried out mainly in... Read More about Simulation of three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method on limited memory systems..

Regaining the conceptual level in object oriented modelling (1991)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1991). Regaining the conceptual level in object oriented modelling. In Proceedings of the 9th British National Conference on Databases, Aspects of Databases, (BNCOD 9) (269-305)

This paper attempts to develop a conceptual model for the object oriented description of data. We abstract from various logical model features essential for thinking about data in an object oriented framework. These features are presented through exa...

Journal Article
Kermani, A. (1991). Permeability of stressed concrete: Steady‐state method of measuring permeability of hardened concrete studies in relation to the change in structure of concrete under various short‐term stress levels. Building research and information : the international journal of research, development and demonstration, 19(6), 360-366. https://doi.org/10.1080/09613219108727156

Abdy Kermani of the Structural Research Group at the Department of Civil Engineering, Napier Polytechnic of Edinburgh, found that permeability increases with increase in applied stress level depending on the type of the mix and the magnitude of the a...

Performance of Nailed Gusset Joints in Ridged Timber Portals (1991)
Journal Article
Kermani, A., & Lee, B. S. (1991). Performance of Nailed Gusset Joints in Ridged Timber Portals. International Journal of Forest Engineering, 3(1), 13-28. https://doi.org/10.1080/08435243.1991.10702630

Abstract The structural behaviour and performance of nailed plywood gusset knee joints of timber portal frames are investigated. An analytical study has shown, and experimental study has confirmed, that the behaviour of the joints in terms of streng...
