Computer-enhanced learning in tertiary education (1991)
Thesis
Mackie, D. M. Computer-enhanced learning in tertiary education. (Thesis). Edinburgh Polytechnic. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/7310

It is widely accepted that mathematics courses for science and engineering undergraduates should aim to develop an enquiring and creative approach to mathematics together with good communication skills. Due to their versatility, computational power a... Read More about Computer-enhanced learning in tertiary education.

A computer-based microworld for the assessment and remediation of sentence processing deficits in aphasia. (1991)
Thesis
Crerar, M. A. A computer-based microworld for the assessment and remediation of sentence processing deficits in aphasia. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4968

This thesis investigates impairments of written sentence comprehension in 14
aphasic adults. The primary purpose of the research was to apply computer
technology to the process of assessment, with the aim of improving diagnostic
precision and ther... Read More about A computer-based microworld for the assessment and remediation of sentence processing deficits in aphasia..

The effect of acidification on epilithic algae in the Loch Ard catchment. (1991)
Thesis
Kinross, J. H. The effect of acidification on epilithic algae in the Loch Ard catchment. (Thesis). Napier Polytechnic of Edinburgh. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2811

A survey of epilithic filamentous algae was carried out at 15 sites on 10 streams with a range of mean pH from 4.37 to 6.67 in the Loch Ard area of the Trossachs, between 1986 and 1988. Monitoring of physical and chemical parameters was carried out i... Read More about The effect of acidification on epilithic algae in the Loch Ard catchment..

An investigation into efficient multiple command order picking in high bay narrow aisle warehouses (1990)
Thesis
Guenov, M. D. An investigation into efficient multiple command order picking in high bay narrow aisle warehouses. (Thesis). Napier Polytechnic of Edinburgh. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9235

With the increasing tempo of business, order picking efficiency becomes of increasing importance. The aim of this research is to find ways of increasing order picking efficiency by decreasing travel time of the picking cycle.
Finding the optimal (sh... Read More about An investigation into efficient multiple command order picking in high bay narrow aisle warehouses.

Modelling and Forecasting Human Populations using Sigmoid Models (1987)
Thesis
Raeside, R. Modelling and Forecasting Human Populations using Sigmoid Models. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1053286

Early this century "S-shaped" curves, sigmoids, gained
populari ty among demographers. However, by 1940, the approach
had "fallen out of favour", being criticised for giving po,or
results and having no theoretical validity. It was also
considered... Read More about Modelling and Forecasting Human Populations using Sigmoid Models.

Investigation of the substrate binding sites of elastase (1986)
Thesis
Shah, V. K. Investigation of the substrate binding sites of elastase. (Thesis). Napier College of Commerce and Technology. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6047

Studies of pancreatic elastase were undertaken to examine substrate binding and of human leukocyte elastase to try to gain insight into the disease, pulmonary emphysema. Porcine pancreatic elastase was inhibited by various inhibitors p-toluene sulpho... Read More about Investigation of the substrate binding sites of elastase.

Self-regulation of health and safety in a local authority with particular reference to safety representatives, supervisors and safety committees (1984)
Thesis
Levinson, A. Self-regulation of health and safety in a local authority with particular reference to safety representatives, supervisors and safety committees. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4487

The Report of the Robens Committee (1972), the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) and the Safety Representatives and Safety Committees Regulations (1977) provide the framework within which this study of certain aspects of health and safety is carri...
