Development of a Fatigue Analysis Tool to Predict Cable Flex Life (2014)
Thesis
McCorquodale, C. Development of a Fatigue Analysis Tool to Predict Cable Flex Life. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/7570

Fatigue failure by flexing is a common failure mode for cables in a high flex environment. As a result, the specialist cable supplier, Axon’ Cable LTD found a need for a flex life analysis tool to aid the design process of their products. The purpos...

Environmental impact assessment for sustainable cement production (2013)
Thesis
El Atasi, L. Environmental impact assessment for sustainable cement production. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6651

Cement production requires intensive use of natural raw materials and energy. It also results in emissions to the atmosphere, the most significant being COZ. Studies estimate that the cement industry is responsible for 5% of global man-made COZ emiss... Read More about Environmental impact assessment for sustainable cement production.

Effect of polymeric properties on the operation of gel-type audio transducers (2013)
Thesis
Cho, M. Effect of polymeric properties on the operation of gel-type audio transducers. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6256

A novel design of a moving-coil transducer coupled with a low-hardness elastomer called “the gel surround” is presented in this thesis. This device is termed a “gel-type audio transducer”. The gel-type audio transducer has been developed to overcome... Read More about Effect of polymeric properties on the operation of gel-type audio transducers.

Customer retention through the equal incorporation of continuous improvement(CI), culture and customer service (2013)
Thesis
McCrory, B. Customer retention through the equal incorporation of continuous improvement(CI), culture and customer service. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6439

Customer retention has long been considered an important element in achieving competitive advantage for business organisations. The increasingly turbulent economic environment has brought this again to the fore for many organisations. Through the de...

Hardware architectures for infrared pedestrian detection systems (2013)
Thesis
Walczyk, R. Hardware architectures for infrared pedestrian detection systems. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6072

Infrared pedestrian detection systems struggle with real-time processing performance. Known solutions are limited to either low resolution systems with basic functionality running at full frame rate, or software based techniques featuring higher dete...

Fabrication and characterisation of planar and tubular solid oxide fuel cell anodes (2013)
Thesis
Zhang, Y. Fabrication and characterisation of planar and tubular solid oxide fuel cell anodes. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6071

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are energy conversion devices that convert the chemical energy of a fuel directly into electricity and useful heat, where the latter is recovered at the device’s high working temperature. SOFCs have become important in... Read More about Fabrication and characterisation of planar and tubular solid oxide fuel cell anodes.

A case study analysis of the role of intermodal transport in port regionalisation (2013)
Thesis
Monios, J. A case study analysis of the role of intermodal transport in port regionalisation. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6652

This thesis presents an analysis of the role of intermodal transport in Notteboom and Rodrigue's (2005) port regionalisation concept, an approach to port development that focuses on the inland aspects of the process, as well as taking port developmen...

Investigation of driving cycles as tools to assess travel demand management in Edinburgh and Abu Dhabi (2013)
Thesis
Al Zaidi, A. Investigation of driving cycles as tools to assess travel demand management in Edinburgh and Abu Dhabi. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/5966

Traffic congestion today is a major problem in almost all of the metropolitan areas of the world. An increasing level of congestion results in negative impacts on the urban environment. These include environmental pollution, energy problems and traff... Read More about Investigation of driving cycles as tools to assess travel demand management in Edinburgh and Abu Dhabi.

Pedestrian right-of-way violations at signalised pedestrian crossings in Edinburgh (2013)
Thesis
Alnaqbi, K. S. Pedestrian right-of-way violations at signalised pedestrian crossings in Edinburgh. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/5967

The review of available literature related to pedestrian accidents indicates that the occurrence of pedestrian accidents is influenced by a diverse range of factors. However, few empirical studies have documented the effects of distance of pedestrian... Read More about Pedestrian right-of-way violations at signalised pedestrian crossings in Edinburgh.
