On the Rodrigues’ Formula Approach to Operator Factorization (2012)
Journal Article
Robin, W. (2012). On the Rodrigues’ Formula Approach to Operator Factorization. International Mathematical Forum, 7(45-48), 2333-2351

In this paper, we derive general formulae that reproduce well-known instances of recurrence relations for the classical orthogonal polynomials as special cases. These recurrence relations are derived, using only elementary mathematics, directly from... Read More about On the Rodrigues’ Formula Approach to Operator Factorization.

Journal Article
Roxburgh, M., Conlon, M. M. M., & Banks, D. (2012). Evaluating Hub and Spoke models of practice learning in Scotland, UK: a multiple case study approach. Nurse Education Today, 32, 782-789. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nedt.2012.05.004

Background Most of UK students' practice learning experience is based on a rotational placement model which often leads to students lacking confidence and feeling anxious about the complexities of the care environment. Objectives To evaluate the... Read More about Evaluating Hub and Spoke models of practice learning in Scotland, UK: a multiple case study approach.

Security issues of a publicly accessible cloud computing infrastructure. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Russell, G., & Macfarlane, R. (2012, June). Security issues of a publicly accessible cloud computing infrastructure

Edinburgh Napier University runs a custom cloud computing infrastructure for both student and public use. Such access carries dangers, both reputational and legal, as accidental or deliberate acts by users can be dangerous to other systems. This pape...

A forensic image description language for generating test images. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Russell, G., Macfarlane, R., & Ludwiniak, R. (2012). A forensic image description language for generating test images. In Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Cybercrime Forensics Education & Training

Digital Forensics is a fast developing job market, as well as being topical and interesting, and as such is an area in which University students are keen to develop and study. At Edinburgh Napier University this topic has been taught with flexible an... Read More about A forensic image description language for generating test images..

Autophagic targeting of Src promotes cancer cell survival following reduced FAK signalling (2012)
Journal Article
Sandilands, E., Serrels, B., McEwan, D. G., Morton, J. P., Macagno, J. P., McLeod, K., Stevens, C., Brunton, V. G., Langdon, W. Y., Vidal, M., Sansom, O. J., Dikic, I., Wilkinson, S., & Frame, M. C. (2012). Autophagic targeting of Src promotes cancer cell survival following reduced FAK signalling. Nature Cell Biology, 14(1), 51-60. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncb2386

Here we describe a mechanism that cancer cells use to survive when flux through the Src/FAK pathway is severely perturbed. Depletion of FAK, detachment of FAK-proficient cells or expression of non-phosphorylatable FAK proteins causes sequestration of...

Structural optimisation of timber off-site modern methods of construction. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sanna, F., Hairstans, R., Leitch, K., Crawford, D., Menendez, J., & Turnbull, D. (2012). Structural optimisation of timber off-site modern methods of construction.

Efficient and sustainable building systems are required in order to achieve the UK government’s target of building three million new homes by 2016. Given the current lack of activity in the housing construction market to achieve this target, incr... Read More about Structural optimisation of timber off-site modern methods of construction..

A Hyper-Heuristic classifier for one dimensional bin packing problems: Improving classification accuracy by attribute evolution. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sim, K., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2012, September). A Hyper-Heuristic classifier for one dimensional bin packing problems: Improving classification accuracy by attribute evolution. Presented at International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature

A hyper-heuristic for the one dimensional bin packing problem is presented that uses an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) to evolve a set of attributes that characterise a problem instance. The EA evolves divisions of variable quantity and dimension that r...

Concurrent analysis: a pragmatic justification (2012)
Journal Article
Snowden, A., & Atkinson, J. (2012). Concurrent analysis: a pragmatic justification. Nursing Philosophy, 13, 126-141. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1466-769X.2011.00523.x

Concurrent analysis (CA) is a process of synthesizing conceptually equivalent data for the purpose of producing a coherent and predictive model in social science. The process of CA is detailed. In short, CA uses Thagard's concept of coherence as a me... Read More about Concurrent analysis: a pragmatic justification.

No decision about me without me: concordance operationalised (2012)
Journal Article
