Investigating and understanding the theoretical constructs and technical impactors on immersive dome user experience (2020)
Thesis
McKellar, M. A. Investigating and understanding the theoretical constructs and technical impactors on immersive dome user experience. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2701715

This thesis explores the novel area of immersive digital domes (IDEs), a unique virtual reality tool that allows more than one user, sometimes a lot of users, into a space to share in engaging, interactive or real-time experiences. Using an active co... Read More about Investigating and understanding the theoretical constructs and technical impactors on immersive dome user experience.

Visualisation techniques to facilitate argument exploration (2020)
Thesis
Khartabil, D. Visualisation techniques to facilitate argument exploration. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2694675

Visualisation is a graphical representation that is used to aid understanding and gain insight into information. Similarly, visualising arguments can help people to explore argument structure and comprehend knowledge associated with tough problems....

Exploring the development of innovative work behaviour of employees in multiple workplace contexts (2020)
Thesis
Middleton, L. Exploring the development of innovative work behaviour of employees in multiple workplace contexts. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2689367

The research reported in this thesis explored the factors that influence the development of innovative work behaviour (i.e. recognition of the need to innovate, idea creation, idea championing and, idea implementation). The study is underpinned by So... Read More about Exploring the development of innovative work behaviour of employees in multiple workplace contexts.

Impact of climate change and envelope performance dilapidation on dwellings (2020)
Thesis
Bros Williamson, J. Impact of climate change and envelope performance dilapidation on dwellings. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2685578

This research is based on results of building envelope and energy performance of thirteen dwellings. The dwellings, located in Dunfermline, Scotland, were part of the Housing Innovation Showcase (HIS) developed by Kingdom Housing Association to explo...

Cyclic performance of rubber-soil mixtures to enhance seismic protection (2020)
Thesis
Bernal Sanchez, J. Cyclic performance of rubber-soil mixtures to enhance seismic protection. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2683555

The disposal of scrap tyres has become a major environmental problem around the world. For its recovery, a geomaterial has been used as part of civil constructions, commonly known as Rubber-Soil mixture (RSm). The use of RSm has the potential to be u...
