Modelling trip generation/ trip accessibility using logit models (2010)
Thesis
Hu, S. Modelling trip generation/ trip accessibility using logit models. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6694

Trip generation is the first stage of the conventional 'four-stage' transport model. The aim of this stage is to predict total number of trips generated to and from each zone. The two most common techniques for trip generation are linear regression (... Read More about Modelling trip generation/ trip accessibility using logit models.

Development of a new manufacturing method of electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells (2010)
Thesis
Waugh, W. Development of a new manufacturing method of electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3750

It is well established that anodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can be manufactured by processes involving final sintering. This research investigated a novel alternative method which relies on the electroless co-deposition of yttria-stabilised...
