Blended Spaces and Cross-channel Ecosystems. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benyon, D., & Resmini, A. (2015, June). Blended Spaces and Cross-channel Ecosystems. Paper presented at ACM Creativity and Cognition

This paper provides a contribution to creativity and codesign based on applying the theory of conceptual integration (also known as conceptual blending, or blending theory) to creative design and collaboration. Our approach is based on bringing t... Read More about Blended Spaces and Cross-channel Ecosystems..

Characterization of Heat Transfer Fluids by Surface Tension and Contact Angle Measurements (2015)
Journal Article
Nnyigide, O. S., Salehiyan, R., & Xialoei, L. (2015). Characterization of Heat Transfer Fluids by Surface Tension and Contact Angle Measurements. International Journal of Management, IT and Engineering, 5(5), 29-37

It is required in heat transfer applications that a coolant fluid makes and retains contact with the surface being cooled. This phenomenon is called surface wettability. Surface tension and contact angle measurements are effective tools used to measu... Read More about Characterization of Heat Transfer Fluids by Surface Tension and Contact Angle Measurements.

Scalpel and Metaphor: The Ceremony of Organ Harvest in Gothic Science Fiction (2015)
Journal Article
Wasson, S. (2015). Scalpel and Metaphor: The Ceremony of Organ Harvest in Gothic Science Fiction. Gothic Studies, 17(1), 104-123. https://doi.org/10.7227/GS.17.1.8

In organ transfer, tissue moves through a web of language. Metaphors reclassify the tissue to enable its redeployment, framing the process for practitioners and public. The process of marking off tissue as transferrable in legal and cultural terms pa... Read More about Scalpel and Metaphor: The Ceremony of Organ Harvest in Gothic Science Fiction.

A new space-time finite element method for the dynamic analysis of TRUSS-type structures (2015)
Thesis
Ma, J. A new space-time finite element method for the dynamic analysis of TRUSS-type structures. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9165

Truss-type structures are widely used in contemporary constructions. The dynamic analysis is very important to ensure the safety and the functionalities of these structures. The aim of this research was to propose a new method tailored for the dynami... Read More about A new space-time finite element method for the dynamic analysis of TRUSS-type structures.

Heart data analysis, modelling and application in risk assessment (2015)
Thesis
Lo, O. Heart data analysis, modelling and application in risk assessment. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/8833

The heart is a fundamental aspect of the human body. Significant work has been undertaken to better understand the characteristics and mechanisms of this organ in past research. Greater understanding of the heart not only provides advances in medicin... Read More about Heart data analysis, modelling and application in risk assessment.
