The thermal monitoring and management of lithium-ion batteries (2023)
Thesis
Alcock, K. M. The thermal monitoring and management of lithium-ion batteries. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/3406767

Battery Thermal Management Systems (BTMSs) are critical for the safe operation of Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs), especially in high-use applications such as electric vehicles (EVs). BTMSs are generally in charge of two major functions: monitoring batt... Read More about The thermal monitoring and management of lithium-ion batteries.

Blockchain-based Authentication and Access Control Mechanism for Internet of Things (IoT) (2023)
Thesis
Abubakar, M. A. Blockchain-based Authentication and Access Control Mechanism for Internet of Things (IoT). (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/3406748

Authentication and access control are critical in addressing IoT security and privacy issues. However, due to resource overhead, most legacy authentication and authorisation mechanisms are not suitable for resource-constrained IoT devices (Meneghello...

Circular Futures: an interdisciplinary approach based on Circular Economy principles and Futures Studies methods to support Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) transitioning to circularity and a futures-oriented organisation (2023)
Thesis
Weigend Rodríguez, R. Circular Futures: an interdisciplinary approach based on Circular Economy principles and Futures Studies methods to support Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) transitioning to circularity and a futures-oriented organisation.

The Circular Economy (CE) is conceived by many as paramount to decoupling economic growth from environmental impacts. Implementing this paradigm in the private sector is challenging, as it requires substantial changes at the strategic level. However,...
