Visualising multiple overlapping classification hierarchies. (2001)
Thesis
Graham, M. Visualising multiple overlapping classification hierarchies. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2430

The revision or reorganisation of hierarchical data sets can result in many possible hierarchical classifications composed of the same or overlapping data sets existing in parallel with each other. These data sets are difficult for people to handle a... Read More about Visualising multiple overlapping classification hierarchies..

Development of risk analysis models for decision-making in project management. (2001)
Thesis
Guo, Q. L. Development of risk analysis models for decision-making in project management. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2745

Risks and uncertainties are inherent in construction projects and if neglected these risks often lead to project cost and time overruns. Traditional methods of forecasting risks rely upon intuition and 'feel' which has proved inadequate for the need...

Direct electric curing of mortar and concrete. (2001)
Thesis
Heritage, I. Direct electric curing of mortar and concrete. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6571

Direct electric curing is the method by which the hydration reactions within concrete are thermally accelerated by passing an alternating electric current through the sample. This use of electricity as a means of supplying heat to young concrete an... Read More about Direct electric curing of mortar and concrete..

The application of neural networks to non-destructive testing techniques (2001)
Thesis
Watson, J. N. The application of neural networks to non-destructive testing techniques. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9470

The low strain test method has become the prevalent method for integrity testing of cast in situ foundation piles. The automated interpretation of the sonic echo traces resulting from this test would prove beneficial to industry through the standardi...

Evaluating book and hypertext: analysis of individual differences. (2001)
Thesis
Wilkinson, S. Evaluating book and hypertext: analysis of individual differences. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/7358

This thesis investigates the usability of an 800 page textbook compared with a hypertext version containing the same information. Hypertext is an interesting new medium in that it is seen as possessing advantages as both delivery technology that in...

Applying Experientialism to HCI Methods. (2001)
Thesis
Imaz, M. Applying Experientialism to HCI Methods. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2813

The aim of this thesis is to incorporate the results of Experientialism in the domain of Human-Computer Interaction. The purpose is twofold: on the one hand it shows how some concepts of Experientialism like metaphor, image-schema, stories or conce... Read More about Applying Experientialism to HCI Methods..
