Place, Sense of Place, and Presence (2006)
Journal Article
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2006). Place, Sense of Place, and Presence. Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments, 15(2), 204-217. https://doi.org/10.1162/pres.2006.15.2.204

Recreating real places--as distinct from virtual spaces or environments--using virtual reality technology raises a series of significant challenges. Fortunately there is a large body of existing research into the experience of place which might reaso... Read More about Place, Sense of Place, and Presence.

Development and evaluation of composite insulated beams. (2006)
Thesis
Bahadori-Jahromi, A. Development and evaluation of composite insulated beams. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2

Decline in supplies of old growth wood coupled with increased demand for structural timber by the construction industry led to creation of engineered timber products (EWPs) comprising wood waste. The author designed, fabricated and tested composite i... Read More about Development and evaluation of composite insulated beams..

An auto-configurable, and, adaptable, metric-driven cluster-head organisation for hybrid multi-hop routing (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Migas, N., & Buchanan, W. (2006). An auto-configurable, and, adaptable, metric-driven cluster-head organisation for hybrid multi-hop routing. In Engineering of Computer Based Systems, 2006. ECBS 2006. 13th Annual IEEE International Symposium and Workshop

Multi-hop ad-hoc routing is a challenging issue, because of the dynamic network topology, and limited capabilities of resource-constrained mobile devices. This paper proposes a metric-driven clustering organisation of participating nodes which provid...

The shaping of I.T. trajectories: evidence from the U.K. public sector. (2006)
Journal Article
Horton, K., & Wood-Harper, T. (2006). The shaping of I.T. trajectories: evidence from the U.K. public sector. European Journal of Information Systems, 15, 214-224. https://doi.org/10.1057/palgrave.ejis.3000611

This paper reports upon I.T. initiatives in the U.K. public sector where choices were made, decisions taken, major investment authorised, and new I.T. introduced. The research investigation followed practice over several years in three Police Forces... Read More about The shaping of I.T. trajectories: evidence from the U.K. public sector..

Interactive visualisation tools for supporting taxonomists working practice. (2006)
Thesis
Cannon, A. (2006). Interactive visualisation tools for supporting taxonomists working practice. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3462

The necessity for scientists and others to use consistent terminology has recently been regarded as fundamental to advancing scientific research, particularly where data from disparate sources must be shared, compared or integrated. One area where... Read More about Interactive visualisation tools for supporting taxonomists working practice..

An adaptive multi-constraint partitioning algorithm for offloading in pervasive systems (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Ou, S., Yang, K., & Liotta, A. (2006). An adaptive multi-constraint partitioning algorithm for offloading in pervasive systems. In Fourth Annual IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PERCOM'06) (116-125). https://doi.org/10.1109/PERCOM.2006.7

Offloading is a kind of mechanism utilized in pervasive systems to leverage the severity of resource constraints of mobile devices by migrating part of the classes of a pervasive service/application to some resource-rich nearby surrogates. A pervasiv... Read More about An adaptive multi-constraint partitioning algorithm for offloading in pervasive systems.

Designing Interactions: Repositioning Design in HCI (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Varey, A., Smyth, M., & Cairncross, S. (2006, March). Designing Interactions: Repositioning Design in HCI. Paper presented at HCIEd 2006 Inventivity: Teaching theory, design and innovation in HCI

This paper describes three case studies which discuss different ways in which HCI and multimedia students in the School of Computing at Napier University are exposed to design in its widest sense. This is achieved through engaging students in activit... Read More about Designing Interactions: Repositioning Design in HCI.

Blind equalisation of communication channels for equal energy sources: Energy matching approach (2006)
Journal Article
Naveed, A., Qureshi, I., Hussain, A., & Fiori, S. (2006). Blind equalisation of communication channels for equal energy sources: Energy matching approach. Electronics Letters, 42(4), 247-248. https://doi.org/10.1049/el%3A20062983

A new energy-matching approach for blind equalisation of possibly non-minimum phase channels is presented. The scheme exploits second order statistics and uses oversampling, but does not use the matching of statistics of the input with that of the ou...
