Evaluating book and hypertext: analysis of individual differences. (2001)
Thesis
Wilkinson, S. Evaluating book and hypertext: analysis of individual differences. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. 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... Read More about Evaluating book and hypertext: analysis of individual differences..

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. 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...

Wavelet-based filtering for the clinical evaluation of atrial fibrillation. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Watson, J. N., Addison, P., Grubb, N. R., Clegg, G. R., Robertson, C. E., & Fox, K. A. A. (2001, October). Wavelet-based filtering for the clinical evaluation of atrial fibrillation. Presented at 23rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society

Summary form only given. This paper describes the work in progress to develop a new ECG signal filtering technique to aid the clinical analysis of atrial fibrillation. The method separates the wavelet transform modulus maxima corresponding to the sig... Read More about Wavelet-based filtering for the clinical evaluation of atrial fibrillation..

Caught between real and virtual worlds. (2001)
Book Chapter
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2001). Caught between real and virtual worlds. In J. Bawa, P. Dorazio, & L. Trenner (Eds.), The Usability Business: Making the Web Work (60-70). Springer-Verlag

This chapter describes how we, as HCI practitioners, contributed to the design of a collaborative virtual environment-based simulator. This simulator is to be used by senior maritime professionals to practice and acquire safety-critical skills throug... Read More about Caught between real and virtual worlds..

An agent based Bayesian forecasting model for enhanced network security. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pikoulas, J., Buchanan, W. J., Mannion, M., & Triantafyllopoulos, K. (2001, April). An agent based Bayesian forecasting model for enhanced network security. Presented at ECBS 2001

Security has become a major issue in many organisations, but most systems still rely on operating systems, and a user ID and password system to provide user authentication and validation. They also tend to be centralized in their approach which makes... Read More about An agent based Bayesian forecasting model for enhanced network security..

An emerging form of freight modelling. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Neffendorf, H., Wigan, M., Donnelly, R., Williams, I., & Collop, M. (2001, September). An emerging form of freight modelling. Presented at European Transport Conference

Among transport planning models, freight transport has long been the Cinderella. Despite the critical importance of freight movement and commercial vehicle traffic, the behavioural influences are poorly understood. The typical approach, almost an aft...

Direct electric curing of mortar and concrete. (2001)
Thesis
Heritage, I. Direct electric curing of mortar and concrete. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. 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..

Social exchange for knowledge exchange (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hall, H. (2001, April). Social exchange for knowledge exchange. Presented at Managing knowledge: conversations and critiques

The factors that motivate people to codify and share knowledge for the benefit of others have
been identified as a priority area for individual companies (Smith & Farquhar, 2000, p. 27).
They represent the most commonly discussed topic amongst prac... Read More about Social exchange for knowledge exchange.
