The Structural behaviour of timber joints made with fully overlapping nails. (2003)
Thesis
Porteous, A. The Structural behaviour of timber joints made with fully overlapping nails. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2787

An integrated programme of experimental and analytical work was carried out to evaluate the nonlinear semi-rigid characteristics of timber connections using fully overlapping nails subjected to short duration lateral loading and moment. The investi... Read More about The Structural behaviour of timber joints made with fully overlapping nails..

Acquisition and Classification of heart rate variability using time-frequency representation. (2003)
Thesis
Jacobson, M. L. Acquisition and Classification of heart rate variability using time-frequency representation. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6885

It has been shown that the heati rate varies not only in relation to the cardiac demand but is also affected by the presence of cardiac disease and diabetes. Furthermore, it has been shown that heart rate variability may be used as an early indicat...

The Investigation and Analysis of Factors that Limit Penetration of Tubulars in Horizontal Oil Wells (2003)
Thesis
McCourt, I. The Investigation and Analysis of Factors that Limit Penetration of Tubulars in Horizontal Oil Wells. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2254603

To carry out remedial work in the oil producing wells through the production tubing string, a method using a continuous length of steel tubing or coiled tubing is used, that allows quick access to the well. Coiled tubing can also be used for drilling... Read More about The Investigation and Analysis of Factors that Limit Penetration of Tubulars in Horizontal Oil Wells.

Effectiveness of mergers and acquisitions and corporate financial performance in construction (2003)
Thesis
Delaney, F. T. Effectiveness of mergers and acquisitions and corporate financial performance in construction. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2750

In practice, construction firms are in business to achieve profitability. Construction companies operate in a highly competitive business environment characterised by low profit margins and high failure rates. At times firms will seek to grow in an...

Evolutionary algorithms for synthesis and optimisation of sequential logic circuits. (2003)
Thesis
Ali, B. Evolutionary algorithms for synthesis and optimisation of sequential logic circuits. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4338

Considerable progress has been made recently 1n the understanding of combinational logic optimization. Consequently a large number of university and industrial Electric Computing Aided Design (ECAD) programs are now available for optimal logic syn...

Low Power Design Techniques for Digital Logic Circuits. (2003)
Thesis
Xia, Y. Low Power Design Techniques for Digital Logic Circuits. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6887

With the rapid increase in the density and the size of chips and systems, area and power dissipation become critical concern in Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuit design. Low power design techniques are essential for today's VLSI industry.... Read More about Low Power Design Techniques for Digital Logic Circuits..
