An Integrated approach to modelling traffic pollution in the urban environment. (1999)
Journal Article
Addison, P. S., McCann, J. M., Low, D. J., & Currie, J. (1999). An Integrated approach to modelling traffic pollution in the urban environment. Traffic engineering & control, 40, 434-437

To meet global air pollution targets, public authorities are increasingly seeking reliable practical tools for assessing traffic pollution impacts. This paper outlines a method which combines traffic models with other models to assess the total effec...

Are the New Deal target groupings well founded? an examination of job search success before the New Deal (1999)
Journal Article
Adams, J., Greig, M., & McQuaid, R. W. (1999). Are the New Deal target groupings well founded? an examination of job search success before the New Deal

This study examines the appropriateness of the New Deal in targeting specific groups of unemployed jobseekers. This is done using a survey of unemployed jobseekers carried out prior to the implementation of the New Deal framework in April 1998. A s...

Integrating measurement techniques in an Object-Oriented systems design process. (1999)
Thesis
Li-Thiao-Te, P. systems design process. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9468

The theme of this thesis is the assessment of quality in class hierarchies. In particular, the notion of inheritance and the mechanism of redefinition from a modelling perspective are reviewed. It is shown that, in Object-Oriented languages, contro... Read More about Integrating measurement techniques in an Object-Oriented systems design process..

Providing views and closure for the object data management group object model (1999)
Journal Article
Roantree, M., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. (1999). Providing views and closure for the object data management group object model. Information and Software Technology, 41(15), 1037-1044. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0950-5849%2899%2900042-7

The ODMG Object Model uses a standard for object-oriented database designers, while attempting to address some issues of interoperability. This research is focused on the viability of using the ODMG data model as a canonical data model in a multid...

Tax and green transport plans: a survey of UK experience (1999)
Journal Article
Potter, S., Rye, T., & Smith, M. (1999). Tax and green transport plans: a survey of UK experience. Transport Policy, 6(4), 197-205. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0967-070X%2899%2900021-9

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. Retrieved from 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 agg... Read More about Recycling of demolished masonry rubble..

An investigation into the reproducability results of the European ILT programme. (1999)
Journal Article
Smith, S., Pompoli, R., & Fausti, P. (1999). An investigation into the reproducability results of the European ILT programme. Building Acoustics, 6(3), 187-210. https://doi.org/10.1260/1351010991501400

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..

Sound transmission through hollow brick walls (1999)
Journal Article
Fringuellino, M., & Smith, S. (1999). Sound transmission through hollow brick walls. Building Acoustics, 6(3), 211-224. https://doi.org/10.1260/1351010991501419

Hollow bricks and blocks are one of the most common forms of material used for wall construction found in Central and Southern Europe. The principle purpose of the perforations (holes) is to increase the thermal insulation properties. As a result of... Read More about Sound transmission through hollow brick walls.

A pyroelectric polymer infrared sensor array with a charge amplifier readout (1999)
Journal Article
Setiadi, D., Weller, H., & Binnie, T. (1999). A pyroelectric polymer infrared sensor array with a charge amplifier readout. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 76(1-3), 145-151. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0924-4247%2898%2900372-0

This paper presents a new pixel architecture for an infrared sensor array based on a pyroelectric polymer integrated with a CMOS charge amplifier. The fill factor of the sensor is optimised by placing the amplifier structure directly below the sensin...

A model of liquid outflow from single-outlet vessels (1999)
Journal Article
Kubie, J. (1999). A model of liquid outflow from single-outlet vessels. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 213(8), 833-847. https://doi.org/10.1243/0954406991522446

This paper analyses the outflow of liquids from single-outlet vessels. In such vessels the liquid leaving the vessel through the outlet is replaced by another fluid, which enters the vessel through the same opening. A theoretical model is developed f...
