Oscillations of liquids in single-outlet vessels (1998)
Journal Article
Kubie, J. (1998). Oscillations of liquids in single-outlet vessels. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 212(8), 759-764. https://doi.org/10.1243/0954406981521493

This paper considers the oscillatory behaviour of liquids in single-outlet vessels, i.e. vessels in which the outflowing liquid is replaced by another fluid which enters the vessel through the same opening. A theoretical model is developed and an equ... Read More about Oscillations of liquids in single-outlet vessels.

A modified form of the Gross-Marvin ladder model is used to simulate gelation processes in which α, the viscoelastic stress relaxation exponent in the Gel Equation, can be varied in the range O

Life cycle assessment of multi-glazed windows (1998)
Thesis
Weir, G. F. Life cycle assessment of multi-glazed windows. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2747

In 1987 the World Commission on Environment and Development proposed a reduction in per capita energy consumption of 50%. Increasing demands, and initiatives of this nature, produce a need for more reliable assessment methods, measurement tools and i... Read More about Life cycle assessment of multi-glazed windows.

The Effect of a Dynamical Layer in Neural Network Prediction of Biomass in a Fermentation Process (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Soufian, M., Soufian, M., & Dempsey, M. (1998). The Effect of a Dynamical Layer in Neural Network Prediction of Biomass in a Fermentation Process. In Proceedings of the 11th international conference on Industrial and engineering applications of artificia

In this paper, computational intelligence has been considered as a tool (software sensor) for state-estimation and prediction of biomass concentration in a simulated fermentation process. Two different paradigms of an artificial neural networks have... Read More about The Effect of a Dynamical Layer in Neural Network Prediction of Biomass in a Fermentation Process.

The role of partnerships in urban economic regeneration (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McQuaid, R. W. (1998). The role of partnerships in urban economic regeneration.

Partnerships to promote urban economic regeneration are widespread, but the theoretical basis of for understanding such partnerships is poorly developed. This paper presents an exploration of such partnerships and draws lessons for their improvement.... Read More about The role of partnerships in urban economic regeneration.
