An exploration of professional identity in the information technology sector (2016)
Thesis
Smith, S. (2016). An exploration of professional identity in the information technology sector. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9731

At present the Information Technology profession appears to be dogged by high profile project failure, high graduate unemployment rates, employers unable to recruit suitable staff and a professional body under attack. It is not even clear that IT can... Read More about An exploration of professional identity in the information technology sector.

Photogrammetric and Stereo Vision Techniques for Evaluating Material Properties in Timber and Timber-Based Composite Structures (2016)
Thesis
Mohamed, A. S. Photogrammetric and Stereo Vision Techniques for Evaluating Material Properties in Timber and Timber-Based Composite Structures. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/462281

A fundamental requirement for efficient use of a glulam beam is an accurate knowledge of its mechanical behaviour and the material properties characterising that behaviour. It becomes extremely important to obtain accurate measurements of material pr...

Enhancing energy sustainability in buildings by implementing low carbon refrubishments (2016)
Thesis
McCauley, L. Enhancing energy sustainability in buildings by implementing low carbon refrubishments. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/462257

The thesis aimed to investigate the feasibility of enhancing a building’s energy sustainability by implementing low carbon refurbishments. The research focused on the low carbon refurbishment of the Energy Technology Centre (ETC) as a case study. The...

Tracking, Analysis and Measurement of Pedestrian Trajectories (2016)
Thesis
Clayton, S. E. (2016). Tracking, Analysis and Measurement of Pedestrian Trajectories. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/452997

Pedestrian movement is unconstrained. For this reason it is not amenable to mathematical modelling in the same way as road traffic. Individual pedestrians are notoriously difficult to monitor at a microscopic level. This has led to a lack of primary...

Algorithmic Asymptotic Analysis of Autoigniting Systems (2016)
Thesis
Tingas, S. Algorithmic Asymptotic Analysis of Autoigniting Systems. (Thesis). National Technical University Of Athens. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2676012

Using algorithmic tools derived from the methodology of Computational Singular Perturbation various autoignition problems are investigated. In the first problem, the autoignition kinetics of DME/air and EtOH/air stoichiometric mixtures are compared b... Read More about Algorithmic Asymptotic Analysis of Autoigniting Systems.

Developing whole-life cost models for retrofit options in office buildings (2016)
Thesis
Tokede, O. O. (2016). Developing whole-life cost models for retrofit options in office buildings. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/463388

Office retrofit building projects have become a subject of increased attention among building researchers in the United Kingdom, and in many economically advanced nations. Existing whole-life costing models have however, not proven to be robust enoug... Read More about Developing whole-life cost models for retrofit options in office buildings.

Participation Space Studies: a socio-technical exploration of activist and community groups’ use of online and offline spaces to support their work (2016)
Thesis
Taylor-Smith, E. Participation Space Studies: a socio-technical exploration of activist and community groups’ use of online and offline spaces to support their work. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/368298

Participation Space Studies explore eParticipation in the day-to-day activities of local, citizen-led groups, working to improve their communities. The focus is the relationship between activities and contexts. The concept of a participation space is...

A Multidimensional Sketching Interface for Visual Interaction with Corpus-Based Concatenative Sound Synthesis (2016)
Thesis
Tsiros, A. (2016). A Multidimensional Sketching Interface for Visual Interaction with Corpus-Based Concatenative Sound Synthesis. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/463438

The present research sought to investigate the correspondence between auditory and visual feature dimensions and to utilise this knowledge in order to inform the design of audio-visual mappings for visual control of sound synthesis. The first stage o... Read More about A Multidimensional Sketching Interface for Visual Interaction with Corpus-Based Concatenative Sound Synthesis.
