Daylight illuminance modelling for the United Kingdom and Europe (1995)
Thesis
Angus, R. C. Daylight illuminance modelling for the United Kingdom and Europe. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3712

This thesis highlights the benefits to occupants and owners of buildings who utilise daylight effectively. Many cases of absence are related to depression or Seasonal Adjustment Disorder(SAD) which results from inadequate exposure to daylight in the...

Robot Calibration Using Artificial Neural Networks (1995)
Thesis
Zhong, X. Robot Calibration Using Artificial Neural Networks. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2254583

Robot calibration is an integrated procedure of measurement and data processing to improve and maintain robot positioning accuracy. Existing robot calibration techniques require extensive human intervention and off-line processing, which preclude the... Read More about Robot Calibration Using Artificial Neural Networks.

A study of arithmetic circuits and the effect of utilising Reed-Muller techniques (1995)
Thesis
Guan, Z. A study of arithmetic circuits and the effect of utilising Reed-Muller techniques. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4340

Reed-Muller algebraic techniques, as an alternative means in logic design, became more attractive recently, because of their compact representations of logic functions and yielding of easily testable circuits. It is claimed by some researchers that R... Read More about A study of arithmetic circuits and the effect of utilising Reed-Muller techniques.

Local housing submarket structure and regional household housing choice behaviour (1995)
Thesis
Tu, Y. Local housing submarket structure and regional household housing choice behaviour. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3603

As home ownership in the UK housing market has become mature, economic and econometric analyses of urban and regional owner-occupier housing markets have become a long-standing concern of housing economists. This thesis defines a nested local housing... Read More about Local housing submarket structure and regional household housing choice behaviour.

Logic synthesis and optimisation using Reed-Muller expansions (1995)
Thesis
McKenzie, L. M. Logic synthesis and optimisation using Reed-Muller expansions. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4276

This thesis presents techniques and algorithms which may be employed to represent, generate and optimise particular categories of Exclusive-OR SumOf-Products (ESOP) forms. The work documented herein concentrates on two types of Reed-Muller (RM) expre... Read More about Logic synthesis and optimisation using Reed-Muller expansions.

Measurement of the electrical properties of concrete at radio frequencies (1994)
Thesis
Starrs, G. Measurement of the electrical properties of concrete at radio frequencies. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6573

This thesis is a presentation of research into the elecrical properties of concrete at radio frequencies (1-1000 MHz). The physical properties of concrete are examined and found to be profoundly influenced by water both at gauging and at later stages...
