This paper describes the results of the European Inter-Laboratory Test (ILT) program, conducted for the determination of repeatability and reproducibility values for the laboratory measurements of airborne sound insulation of walls. A total of 24 lab... Read More about An inter-comparison of laboratory measurements of airborne sound insulation of lightweight plasterboard walls..

A symbolic investigation of pole-zero cancellation for a double inverted pendulum using torque inputs. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Woodham, C. A. (1999, June). A symbolic investigation of pole-zero cancellation for a double inverted pendulum using torque inputs. Paper presented at IEE Colloquium on "Symbolic Computation for Control"

Modern computational packages are able to perform highly complex manipulations of symbolic variables, thus offering insights into a variety of mathematical problems. The symbolic manipulation packages REDUCE and MATLAB Symbolic Toolbox are used in an...

Effectiveness of simple ventilation strategies and partitioning in mitigating the effects of passive smoking (1999)
Journal Article
Kolokotroni, M., Perera, M. D. A. E. S., Palmer, J., Currie, J., Capper, G., & Watkins, R. (1999). Effectiveness of simple ventilation strategies and partitioning in mitigating the effects of passive smoking. Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 20(2), 93-98. https://doi.org/10.1177/014362449902000208

Pubs, bars and restaurants are places where smoking policy is still left to the discretion of the manager and where smoking is often permitted. However, there is demand to take measures to eliminate or reduce the effects of environmental tobacco smok...

The water ingress characteristics of stressed masonry. (1999)
Thesis
Tait, C. J. The water ingress characteristics of stressed masonry. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3672

Water ingress, usually by wind-driven rain, is the main cause of premature
deterioration in masonry structures. Water acts as a transport mechanism for
aggressive chemicals and can also undergo freeze/thaw cycles leading to bursting of
the masonry... Read More about The water ingress characteristics of stressed masonry..

On a representation of vector continued fractions. (1999)
Journal Article

Vector Pade approximants to power series with vector coefficients may be calculated using the three-term recurrence relations of vector continued fractions
if formulated in the framework of Clifford algebras. We show that the numerator and denominat... Read More about On a representation of vector continued fractions..

A multidatabase layer for the ODMG object model (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Roantree, M., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1998, September). A multidatabase layer for the ODMG object model. Presented at 5th International Conference on Object-Oriented Information Systems, 1998, Paris, France

The lack of a common object model has been addressed to some extent by the specification of the ODMG Object Model standard. However, the problem still exists for designers of object-oriented multidatabase systems. In this research we propose to use t... Read More about A multidatabase layer for the ODMG object model.

European economic development partnerships-the case of the Eastern Scotland European partnership (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McQuaid, R. W., & Christy, B. (1999). European economic development partnerships-the case of the Eastern Scotland European partnership.

Partnerships are crucial to regional and local economic development. There is a need for greater understanding about the real operations of such partnerships in order to improve their efficiency and effectiveness and to understand the appropriateness...

Orthogonal RBF neural network approximation (1999)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (1999). Orthogonal RBF neural network approximation. Neural Processing Letters, 9, 141-151. https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1018621308457

The approximation properties of the RBF neural networks are investigated in this paper. A new approach is proposed, which is based on approximations with orthogonal combinations of functions. An orthogonalization framework is presented for the Gaussi... Read More about Orthogonal RBF neural network approximation.
