Daylighting performance of tubular solar light pipes: measurement, modelling and validation. (2002)
Thesis
Zhang, X. Daylighting performance of tubular solar light pipes: measurement, modelling and validation. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3602

The innovation of natural daylighting light pipe took place more than twenty years ago. Since then its daylighting performance has been reported in a number of studies. To date, however, no mathematical method that includes the effect of straight-r... Read More about Daylighting performance of tubular solar light pipes: measurement, modelling and validation..

Load transfer mechanism in punched metal plate timber connections. (2002)
Thesis
Abdulrahman, N. A. H. Load transfer mechanism in punched metal plate timber connections. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6193

The load capacity of the punched metal plate timber joints is established, in general, by empirical means as a result of destructive testing in accordance with relevant national standards. The basis of tests is tensile or compressive loading applied... Read More about Load transfer mechanism in punched metal plate timber connections..

Life cycle assessment of aluminium-clad timber windows. (2002)
Thesis
Asif, M. Life cycle assessment of aluminium-clad timber windows. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2505

Over the last century a temperature rise of 0.6 C m global climate and the affiliated greenhouse effects have inflicted enormous impacts in the form of natural catastrophes, economical losses, health problems and seasonal disorder. If human activitie... Read More about Life cycle assessment of aluminium-clad timber windows..

An investigation of factors associated with traffic accident and casualty risk in Scotland. (2002)
Thesis
White, D. I. An investigation of factors associated with traffic accident and casualty risk in Scotland. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2782

An investigation was conducted to identify factors associated with traffic accident involvement and traffic casualty involvement of road users in Scotland. This was done to determine to what extent accident and casualty involvement are related, and...
