Identifying Barriers To The Implementation Of Bus Policy At A Local Level In Great Britain Using A Decision Support Framework (2018)
Thesis
McTigue, C. Identifying Barriers To The Implementation Of Bus Policy At A Local Level In Great Britain Using A Decision Support Framework. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1516301

The current debate on transport policy in the UK is focused on the need for a sustainable transport system. Buses play a vital role in achieving this, as they are the most frequently used and most accessible mode of public transport. However, the lit...

Potential of noble fir, Norway spruce, western red cedar and western hemlock grown for timber production in Great Britain (2018)
Thesis
Gil-Moreno, D. Potential of noble fir, Norway spruce, western red cedar and western hemlock grown for timber production in Great Britain. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1506120

The limited range of commercial timber species in Great Britain has led the forestry sector to consider wider planting of other species. This research addresses wood properties, particularly relevant to structural timber, of noble fir, Norway spruce,...
