The prediction of defibrillation outcome using time-frequency power spectrum methods (2005)
Thesis
Uchaipichat, N. The prediction of defibrillation outcome using time-frequency power spectrum methods. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2290833

A study was conducted to investigate the use of time-frequency methods to predict the outcome of defibrillation for patients presenting with ventricular fibrillation. Both wavelet transform and short time Fourier transform methods were applied to ext... Read More about The prediction of defibrillation outcome using time-frequency power spectrum methods.

Properties of hydraulic and nonhydraulic limes for use in construction. (2005)
Thesis
Edwards, A. J. Properties of hydraulic and nonhydraulic limes for use in construction. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6884

The term "lime" comes from the word limestone. Limestone rocks were converted to lime powder by burning (calcining). The process of converting limestone to lime was an old process and it has been well documented, archaeologically. It has been esta...

Road user charging: technically optimal or publicly acceptable? (2005)
Thesis
Farrell, S. R. Road user charging: technically optimal or publicly acceptable?. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2290886

The thesis reports the outcome of three main investigations. The first investigated the technical issues involved in how commuter’s departure time and mode choice might be affected by road user charging. The second investigated the public’s preferenc...

Factors affecting pedestrian walking speeds (2004)
Thesis
Al-Azzawi, M. Factors affecting pedestrian walking speeds. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2749

The movement of pedestrians in the urban environment is vital for sustaining the social and economic relationships essential to the quality of life. To enable and encourage walking, suitable facilities must be available and planning and implementing... Read More about Factors affecting pedestrian walking speeds.

River bed sediment surface characterisation using wavelet transform-based methods. (2004)
Thesis
Nyander, A. River bed sediment surface characterisation using wavelet transform-based methods. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/5885

The primary purpose of this work was to study the morphological change of river-bed sediment surfaces over time using wavelet transform analysis techniques. The wavelet transform is a rapidly developing area of applied mathematics in both science a... Read More about River bed sediment surface characterisation using wavelet transform-based methods..

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 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..
