The Effect of Differing Shaft Dynamics on the Biomechanics of the Golf Swing (2010)
Thesis
Betzler, N. F. The Effect of Differing Shaft Dynamics on the Biomechanics of the Golf Swing. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3743

The role of the shaft in the golf swing has been the subject of scientific debate for many years but there is little consensus regarding the effects of altering shaft bending stiffness. The aim of this thesis was to determine and explain the effects... Read More about The Effect of Differing Shaft Dynamics on the Biomechanics of the Golf Swing.

The development of an assimilative capacity model for the sustainable management of nutrients within the Ria Formosa in southern Portugal (2010)
Thesis
Brito, A. C. The development of an assimilative capacity model for the sustainable management of nutrients within the Ria Formosa in southern Portugal. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/

Mathematical modelling approaches have been widely used to evaluate the capacity of an ecosystem to assimilate anthropogenic wastes. This is essential to develop sustainable management strategies and for the prevention of eutrophication. This project...
