Development of 3d lattice models for predicting nonlinear timber joint behaviour (2009)
Thesis
Reichert, T. Development of 3d lattice models for predicting nonlinear timber joint behaviour. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2827

This work presents the development of a three-dimensional lattice material model for wood and its application to timber joints including the potential strengthening benefit of second order effects. A lattice of discrete elements was used to capture t... Read More about Development of 3d lattice models for predicting nonlinear timber joint behaviour.

The non-destructive evaluation of Sitka spruce mechanical properties using acoustic methods (2009)
Thesis
MacKenzie, R. The non-destructive evaluation of Sitka spruce mechanical properties using acoustic methods. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6039

The need for improved timber grading is key to improving Scottish forestry: the majority (80%) of the sustainable softwood population in Scotland is Sitka spruce of variable quality. Current visual assessment of strength and stiffness is inaccurate,... Read More about The non-destructive evaluation of Sitka spruce mechanical properties using acoustic methods.

A Statistical Analysis of Road Traffic Accidents and Casualties in Bangladesh. (2009)
Thesis
Sheikh, M. (2009). A Statistical Analysis of Road Traffic Accidents and Casualties in Bangladesh. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2753

A statistical analysis was conducted for road traffic accidents and associated casualties in Bangladesh. This was undertaken in order to assist the policy-makers to take appropriate steps to be reduced the road traffic accidents and the associated ca...

William Hope Hodgson's borderlands: monstrosity, other worlds, and the future at the fin de siècle (2009)
Thesis
Alder, E. William Hope Hodgson's borderlands: monstrosity, other worlds, and the future at the fin de siècle. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3597

William Hope Hodgson has generally been understood as the author of several atmospheric sea-horror stories and two powerful but flawed horror science fiction novels. There has been no substantial study analysing the historical and cultural context of...

The concept of employability and the experience of unemployment (2009)
Thesis
Lindsay, C. The concept of employability and the experience of unemployment. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3877

This research sought to develop and deploy a new framework for analysing employability as a means of exploring: the barriers to work faced by unemployed people; differences in the range and severity of barriers faced by the long-term unemployed comp...

Modelling of nonuniform magnetic field effects on partially magnetised Y-junction circulator (2009)
Thesis
Chung, H. Modelling of nonuniform magnetic field effects on partially magnetised Y-junction circulator. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2563

The success of modelling partially magnetised linear 3-port junction circulator, which is non-uniformly biased, depends chiefly on the precise representation of the strength of the intrinsic magnetic field in the axial direction across the ferrite ma...
