Novel processing of solid oxide fuel cell (2011)
Thesis
Baba, N. B. Novel processing of solid oxide fuel cell. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4271

ABSTRACT Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are of major interest in fuel cell development due to their high energy conversion efficiency, wide range of fuels and environmental friendliness. One important obstacle for their industrial development is the... Read More about Novel processing of solid oxide fuel cell.

Computer aided synthesis and optimisation of electronic logic circuits (2011)
Thesis
Al-Jassani, B. A. Computer aided synthesis and optimisation of electronic logic circuits. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6658

In this thesis, a variety of algorithms for synthesis and optimisation of combinational and sequential logic circuits are developed. These algorithms could be part of new commercial EGAD package for future VLSI digital designs. The results show that...

Moisture conditions in external timber cladding: field trials and their design implications (2011)
Thesis
Davies, I. Moisture conditions in external timber cladding: field trials and their design implications. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4702

This thesis describes the development of technical guidance on timber facade design. The study involved a state-of-the-art review; an exposure trial of external cladding made from Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) and the production of construction det...

Design and modelling of a photovoltaic driven fan solar air heater for drying woodchip in Scotland (2011)
Thesis
Clemente, A. Design and modelling of a photovoltaic driven fan solar air heater for drying woodchip in Scotland. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4417

In the wood fuel supply chain, the water contained in the product determines one aspect of the quality of the wood. It is necessary to reduce the moisture content (MC) of the wood in order to reduce transport and storing costs and also to increase th...

The Development of a Holistic and Quantitative Tool for the Assessment and Improvement of Survey Quality. (2011)
Thesis
Chen, T. The Development of a Holistic and Quantitative Tool for the Assessment and Improvement of Survey Quality. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4404

There are a variety of guidelines and methods available to measure and assess survey quality. Most of these are based on qualitative descriptions. In practice, they are not easy to implement and it is very difficult to make comparisons between survey...
