Sustainability analysis of window frames (2005)
Journal Article
Asif, M., Muneer, T., & Kubie, J. (2005). Sustainability analysis of window frames. Building services engineering research & technology : BSER & T, 26(1), 71-87. https://doi.org/10.1191/0143624405bt118tn

The characteristics of the frame materials have significant impacts on the properties of a window. A window itself plays a crucial role in determining the overall energy performance of the building. This article analyses four different frame types; a... Read More about Sustainability analysis of window frames.

Heart rate variability measurements and the prediction of ventricular arrhythmias. (2005)
Journal Article
Reed, M. J., Addison, P., & Robertson, C. E. (2005). Heart rate variability measurements and the prediction of ventricular arrhythmias. QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 98, 87-95. https://doi.org/10.1093/qjmed/hci018

Heart rate variability (HRV) is the temporal variation between sequences of consecutive heartbeats. It is possible that HRV confers a survival advantage.In normal subjects, a variable heart rate is the normal physiological state. A loss of variabili...

This paper discusses the potential value of local, partnership-based employability training and job guarantee programmes, focusing on one example—the 'Alloa Initiative'. The Initiative involved an employability training and job guarantee scheme devel... Read More about Job guarantees, employability training and partnerships in the retail sector.

Medical research funding may have over-expanded and be due for collapse (2005)
Journal Article
Charlton, B., & Andras, P. (2005). Medical research funding may have over-expanded and be due for collapse. QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 98(1), 53-55. https://doi.org/10.1093/qjmed/hci003

The continual and uninterrupted expansion of medical research funding is generally assumed to be a permanent feature of modern societies, but this expectation may turn out to be mistaken. Sciences tend to go through boom and bust phases. Twentieth ce... Read More about Medical research funding may have over-expanded and be due for collapse.

Road user charging: technically optimal or publicly acceptable? (2005)
Thesis
Farrell, S. R. Road user charging: technically optimal or publicly acceptable?. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2290886

The thesis reports the outcome of three main investigations. The first investigated the technical issues involved in how commuter’s departure time and mode choice might be affected by road user charging. The second investigated the public’s preferenc...

An investigation of cell wall micropore blocking as a possible mechanism for the decay resistance of anhydride modified wood (2005)
Journal Article
Hill, C. A. S., Forster, S. C., Farahani, M. R. M., Hale, M. D. C., Ormondroyd, G. A., & Williams, G. R. (2005). An investigation of cell wall micropore blocking as a possible mechanism for the decay resistance of anhydride modified wood. International bi

Corsican pine (Pinus nigra) sapwood was chemically modified with acetic, or hexanoic anhydride to a variety of weight percentage gains. The cell wall microporosity of the wood before and after chemical modification was determined using the technique...
