support the next generation of evolving infohabitants in
a way that makes that infrastructure univers... Read More about A distributed resource evolutionary algorithm machine..

Combining linking and focusing techniques for a multiple hierarchy visualisation (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2001, July). Combining linking and focusing techniques for a multiple hierarchy visualisation. Presented at Proceedings Fifth International Conference on Information Visualisation, London, England, UK,

Visualisations have previously combined linking and brushing operations successfully. However, none to our knowledge have combined linking and focussing techniques. We describe the motivation behind developing such a technique, and show how our visua... Read More about Combining linking and focusing techniques for a multiple hierarchy visualisation.

Strategic construction mechatronics valuation: A real option-pricing approach. (2002)
Journal Article
Taylor, M. D., & Wamuziri, S. (2002). Strategic construction mechatronics valuation: A real option-pricing approach. Journal of Financial Management of Property and Construction, 7, 75-90

This paper presents the application of real option-pricing theory to the appraisal of advanced construction technology (ACT) investment opportunities. Discounted cash flow appraisal techniques alone do not take into account managerial investment flex... Read More about Strategic construction mechatronics valuation: A real option-pricing approach..

Production economics of a vertically separated railway – The case of the British train operating companies. (2002)
Journal Article
Cowie, J. (2002). Production economics of a vertically separated railway – The case of the British train operating companies. Trasporti europei, 5, 45-52

This paper focuses on the production economics issues
surrounding the vertical separation of infrastructure
from rail services with regard to passenger operations. A
case study of the British passenger railway privatisation
is used. The British a... Read More about Production economics of a vertically separated railway – The case of the British train operating companies..

Genetic algorithm based state assignment for power and area optimisation. (2002)
Journal Article
Xia, Y., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2002). Genetic algorithm based state assignment for power and area optimisation. IEE proceedings. Computers and digital techniques, 149, 128-133. https://doi.org/10.1049/ip-cdt%3A20020431

The use of assignment to minimise power dissipation and area for finite-state machines is computationally difficult. Most published results show that the reduction of switching activity often trades with area penalty. Two cost functions are introduce...

A study of the powder processing, tribological performance and metallurgy of Aluminium-based, discontinuously reinforced metal matrix composites (2002)
Thesis
Mitchell, C. A. A study of the powder processing, tribological performance and metallurgy of Aluminium-based, discontinuously reinforced metal matrix composites. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3807

The principal objectives of the research reported in this thesis are: to determine the effect that sinter time has on the metallurgical behaviour of alumina-reinforced aluminium-606lmatrix composites; compare and assess the wear resistance of alumina...

Mismatch in local labour market in central Scotland: the neglected role of demand. (2002)
Journal Article
Adams, J., Greig, M., & McQuaid, R. W. (2002). Mismatch in local labour market in central Scotland: the neglected role of demand. Urban Studies, 39(8), 1399-1416. https://doi.org/10.1080/00420980220142691

This paper presents a model of mismatch unemployment in two local labour markets in Scotland. A total of seven possible sources of such unemployment are identified and examined within the context of a predominantly urban area and a mixed urban-rural...

Mundane knowledge management and microlevel organizational learning: an ethological approach. (2002)
Journal Article
Davenport, E. (2002). Mundane knowledge management and microlevel organizational learning: an ethological approach. Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 53, 1038-1046. https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.10110

Knowledge management is discussed in the context of articulation work, that is routine interactions in groups of local practice. In such situations, knowledge is largely acquired and maintained by learning from the appropriate behavior of others by m...

An Application of Higher Order Sliding Modes to the Control of a Diesel Generator Set (GENSET) (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Spurgeon, S., Goh, K., & Jones, B. (2002, July). An Application of Higher Order Sliding Modes to the Control of a Diesel Generator Set (GENSET). Presented at 7th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems

Diesel engines have become a common source of power, both for vehicles and for static equipment because they are fuel efficient, robust and reliable. It is important that diesel engines are robustly
controlled in order to maintain efficiency, minimi... Read More about An Application of Higher Order Sliding Modes to the Control of a Diesel Generator Set (GENSET).

Towards visualising temporal features in large scale microarray time-series data. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Craig, P., Kennedy, J., & Cumming, A. (2002, July). Towards visualising temporal features in large scale microarray time-series data. Presented at 6th International Conference on Information Visualisation - IV2002

Current techniques for visualising large-scale microarray data are unable to present temporal features without reducing the number of elements being displayed. This paper introduces a technique that overcomes this problem by combining a novel display... Read More about Towards visualising temporal features in large scale microarray time-series data..
