Evolvable hardware design of combinational logic circuits. (2000)
Thesis
Kalganova, T. Evolvable hardware design of combinational logic circuits. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4341

Evolvable Hardware (EHW), as an alternative method for logic design, became more attractive recently, because of its algebra-independent techniques for generating selfadaptive self-reconfigurable hardware. This thesis investigates and relates both... Read More about Evolvable hardware design of combinational logic circuits..

Recycling of demolished masonry rubble. (1999)
Thesis
De Venny, A. S. Recycling of demolished masonry rubble. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6043

The recycling of demolished masonry rubble as the coarse aggregate in new concrete represents an interesting possibility at a time when the cost of dumping such material is on the increase. With growing concerns over the environmental impact of agg... Read More about Recycling of demolished masonry rubble..

Pedestrian Detection by Computer Vision. (1999)
Thesis
Reading, I. A. D. Pedestrian Detection by Computer Vision. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6915

This document describes work aimed at determining whether the detection, by computer vision, of pedestrians waiting at signal-controlled road crossings could be made sufficiently reliable and affordable, using currently available technology, so as...

The water ingress characteristics of stressed masonry. (1999)
Thesis
Tait, C. J. The water ingress characteristics of stressed masonry. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3672

Water ingress, usually by wind-driven rain, is the main cause of premature deterioration in masonry structures. Water acts as a transport mechanism for aggressive chemicals and can also undergo freeze/thaw cycles leading to bursting of the masonry...

Life cycle assessment of multi-glazed windows (1998)
Thesis
Weir, G. F. Life cycle assessment of multi-glazed windows. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2747

In 1987 the World Commission on Environment and Development proposed a reduction in per capita energy consumption of 50%. Increasing demands, and initiatives of this nature, produce a need for more reliable assessment methods, measurement tools and i... Read More about Life cycle assessment of multi-glazed windows.
