Risk Modelling at the Pre-Proposal Stages of eGovernment Service Projects (2007)
Thesis
Evangelidis, A. Risk Modelling at the Pre-Proposal Stages of eGovernment Service Projects. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/7309

eGovernment is a relatively new, but rapidly expanding, domain; mainly due to the perceived outcomes that it may bring to the public administration. Founded on the premise that eGovernment programmes may increase efficiency and effectiveness, decreas... Read More about Risk Modelling at the Pre-Proposal Stages of eGovernment Service Projects.

Simulation of robustness against lesions of cortical networks (2007)
Journal Article
Kaiser, M., Martin, R., Andras, P., & Young, M. P. (2007). Simulation of robustness against lesions of cortical networks. European Journal of Neuroscience, 25(10), 3185-3192. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1460-9568.2007.05574.x

Structure entails function, and thus a structural description of the brain will help to understand its function and may provide insights into many properties of brain systems, from their robustness and recovery from damage to their dynamics and even...

Dynamic surface control for stabilization of the oscillating eccentric rotor (2007)
Journal Article
Qaiser, N., Hussain, A., Iqbal, N., & Qaiser, N. (2007). Dynamic surface control for stabilization of the oscillating eccentric rotor. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part I: Journal of Systems and Control Engineering, 221(3), 311-319. https://doi.org/10.1243/09596518JSCE222

The present paper presents a new solution for the stabilization and disturbance attenuation problems of the oscillating eccentric rotor (OER), an extensively studied non-linear under-actuated mechanical system. Designing control law for such systems... Read More about Dynamic surface control for stabilization of the oscillating eccentric rotor.

Setting safety standards by designing a low-budget and compatible patient identification system based on passive RFID technology. (2007)
Journal Article
Thuemmler, C., Buchanan, W. J., & Kumar, V. (2007). Setting safety standards by designing a low-budget and compatible patient identification system based on passive RFID technology. International Journal of Healthcare Technology and Management, 8, 571-583. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJHTM.2007.013524

This paper outlines a large-scale audit for the enhancement of quality of care and staff and patient safety using passive RFID (Radio Frequency ID) wrist bands, which link to a patient's database, in order to reduce errors in patient care. It has bee... Read More about Setting safety standards by designing a low-budget and compatible patient identification system based on passive RFID technology..

Pictures at the ATM: Exploring the usability of multiple graphical passwords. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Moncur, W., & LePlâtre, G. (2007, April). Pictures at the ATM: Exploring the usability of multiple graphical passwords. Presented at Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems

Users gain access to cash, confidential information and services at Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) via an authentication process involving a Personal Identification Number (PIN). These users frequently have many different PINs, and fail to remember... Read More about Pictures at the ATM: Exploring the usability of multiple graphical passwords..

Metaheuristics for university course timetabling. (2007)
Book Chapter
Lewis, R. M. R., Paechter, B., & Rossi-Doria, O. (2007). Metaheuristics for university course timetabling. In K. Dahal, K. Chen Tan, & P. Cowling (Eds.), Evolutionary Scheduling (237-272). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-48584-1_9

In this chapter we consider the NP-complete problem of university
course timetabling. We note that it is often difficult to gain a deep understanding
of these sorts of problems due to the fact that so many different
types of constraints can ultima... Read More about Metaheuristics for university course timetabling..

Better out than in?: Issues and implications of outsourced research and information services for business information professionals (2007)
Journal Article
Goody, M., & Hall, H. (2007). Better out than in?: Issues and implications of outsourced research and information services for business information professionals. Business Information Review, 24(1), 36-42. https://doi.org/10.1177/0266382107075927

The term “outsourcing” represents a number of activities related to the delegation of work from one unit to a third party. There are different “flavours” of outsourcing: the understanding of the term depends upon whether the work is delegated to a th...
