Groups, adaptation, coordination, translation (GACT): digital genres and the organisational genome (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davenport, E. (1999, January). Groups, adaptation, coordination, translation (GACT): digital genres and the organisational genome

Research agendas in different disciplines have addressed ways in which groups adapt to their environments, coordinate interactions and translate such activities into practices which can be shared by other groups. This paper incorporates research on d... Read More about Groups, adaptation, coordination, translation (GACT): digital genres and the organisational genome.

The challenge of visualising multiple overlapping classification. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Graham, M., Kennedy, J., & Hand, C. (1999, September). The challenge of visualising multiple overlapping classification. Presented at IEEE User Interfaces to Data Intensive Systems (UIDIS) 1999

Techniques for visualising hierarchies have concentrated on displaying static structures or, in the case of dynamic hierarchies, adding or deleting nodes from the hierarchy. However, none have adequately dealt with the situation of visualising change... Read More about The challenge of visualising multiple overlapping classification..

The widespread adoption of Green Transport Plans (GTPs) by employers has become an important aim of the {UK} government transport policy as it tries to find ways of reducing transport demand. However, the tax treatment of employee benefits that form... Read More about Tax and green transport plans: a survey of UK experience.

Recycling of demolished masonry rubble (1999)
Thesis
De Venny, A. S. Recycling of demolished masonry rubble. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6043

The recycling of demolished masonry rubble as the coarse aggregate in new concrete represents an interesting possibility at a time when the cost of dumping such material is on the increase. With growing concerns over the environmental impact of aggre... Read More about Recycling of demolished masonry rubble.

In an inter-laboratory test programme (ILT) for the measurement of airborne sound insulation of lightweight walls, reproducibility values of up to 12dB were obtained from the sound reduction index measured in 21 participating laboratories. These high... Read More about An investigation into the reproducability results of the European ILT programme..

Employer attitudes to employer transport plans: a comparison of UK and Dutch experience (1999)
Journal Article

Query Language For Prometheus (1999)
Report
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. Query Language For Prometheus. Napier University

This document presents the query language developed for the Prometheus database [RKB99]. This language is based on graphs and provides the user with a means to define the data to be extracted from the database and its manipulation. The language requi...
