An expert system for the performance control of rotating machinery. (2000)
Thesis
Pearson, W. N. An expert system for the performance control of rotating machinery. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6888

This research presented in this thesis examines the application of feed forward neural networks to the performance control of a gas transmission compressor. It is estimated that a global saving in compressor fuel gas of 1% could save the production... Read More about An expert system for the performance control of rotating machinery..

Automated synthesis and optimization of multilevel logic circuits. (2000)
Thesis
Wang, L. Automated synthesis and optimization of multilevel logic circuits. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4342

With the increased complexity of Very Large Scaled Integrated (VLSI) circuits, multilevel logic synthesis plays an even more important role due to its flexibility and compactness. The history of symbolic logic and some typical techniques for multil... Read More about Automated synthesis and optimization of multilevel logic circuits..

An Evaluation of the Requirements of a Tool for Mapping Workplace Soundscapes (2000)
Thesis
McGregor, I. P. An Evaluation of the Requirements of a Tool for Mapping Workplace Soundscapes. (Thesis)

In a visually biased culture sound becomes taken for granted until it intrudes, this makes many systems designers shy away from sound as a method of communication. We are currently moving away from the notion of an isolated user sitting at a desktop,... Read More about An Evaluation of the Requirements of a Tool for Mapping Workplace Soundscapes.

Speed improvements for the RSA encryption method (2000)
Thesis
Wang, H. (2000). Speed improvements for the RSA encryption method. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4065

This thesis presents methods that can be used to improve the operation of the RSA encryption method. It shows the principles of encryption, and then expands this to give the operation of public-key methods, which includes the number value theorems ap...

Rectangular Hollow Sections with circular web openings. (2000)
Thesis
Ridley-Ellis, D. Rectangular Hollow Sections with circular web openings. (Thesis). The University of Nottingham. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/8229

The primary aim of the project was to develop the basis for a set of rules to be used in the design of RHS slim floor edge beams with web openings. However, since the research is fundamental in nature, the findings are also applicable to other situa... Read More about Rectangular Hollow Sections with circular web openings..

The role of logistical structure in the development of rail freight services in Great Britain. (2000)
Thesis
Woodburn, A. G. The role of logistical structure in the development of rail freight services in Great Britain. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4875

Modal shift from road to rail for freight movements is a potential means by which the negative environmental and social impacts of such transport can be reduced. As such it features strongly in contemporary transport policies in Great Britain. This...

Inside the Palimpsest: A Study of Newsroom Information Gathering. (2000)
Thesis
Macaulay, C. Gathering. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/7241

The methodologies of systems design, rooted in engineering and in cognitivist conceptions of human action, have been stretched to the limit by the complexity of uses to which information and communication technologies are being turned. Within segme... Read More about Inside the Palimpsest: A Study of Newsroom Information Gathering..

Evolvable hardware design of combinational logic circuits. (2000)
Thesis
Kalganova, T. Evolvable hardware design of combinational logic circuits. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4341

Evolvable Hardware (EHW), as an alternative method for logic design, became more attractive recently, because of its algebra-independent techniques for generating selfadaptive self-reconfigurable hardware. This thesis investigates and relates both... Read More about Evolvable hardware design of combinational logic circuits..
