Research ethics committees and ethical codes – implications for the healthcare chaplain (2010)
Journal Article
Atherton, I. (2010). Research ethics committees and ethical codes – implications for the healthcare chaplain. Scottish Journal of Healthcare Chaplaincy, 13,

In this paper Iain raises important issues about how the process of applying for ethical permission should be viewed as more than a bureaucratic exercise. Hospital chaplains can take advantage of their personal experience and expertise to engage full...

Artificial Immune Systems: 9th International Conference, ICARIS 2010, Edinburgh, UK, July 26-29, 2010, Proceedings (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
(2010, July). Artificial Immune Systems: 9th International Conference, ICARIS 2010, Edinburgh, UK, July 26-29, 2010, Proceedings. Presented at 9th International Conference, ICARIS 2010, Edinburgh, UK

Artificial immune systems (AIS) is a diverse and maturing area of research that bridges the disciplines of immunology and computation. The original research impetus in AIS had a clear focus on applying immunological principles to computational proble...

Computational issues regarding lattice models for wood (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reichert, T., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2010, June). Computational issues regarding lattice models for wood. Presented at 11th World Conference on Timber Engineering 2010., Riva del Garda, Italy

This paper describes means to overcome some of the computational issues related to lattice models. The first is the use of a solution technique, different from a Newton-Raphson approach, called the Step-Size-Control (SSC) algorithm to handle strain-s...

The shear strength and failure modes of timber joists obtained from the torsion test method. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Khokhar, A. M., Zhang, H., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2010, June). The shear strength and failure modes of timber joists obtained from the torsion test method. Presented at 11th World Conference on Timber Engineering 2010, Riva del Garda, Italy

This paper presents details of the experimental method and test results from a series of torsion tests undertaken to evaluate the shear strength of timber joists. The failure modes and the correlation of shear strength and torsional shear modulus we...

An evaluation of the power consumption and carbon footprint of a cloud infrastructure (2010)
Thesis
Yampolsky, V. An evaluation of the power consumption and carbon footprint of a cloud infrastructure. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3973

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector represent two to three percents of the world energy consumption and about the same percentage of GreenHouse Gas(GHG) emission. Moreover the IT-related costs represent fifty per-cents of the el... Read More about An evaluation of the power consumption and carbon footprint of a cloud infrastructure.

Performance Evaluation of Virtualization with Cloud Computing (2010)
Thesis
Pelletingeas, C. Performance Evaluation of Virtualization with Cloud Computing. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4010

Cloud computing has been the subject of many researches. Researches shows that cloud computing permit to reduce hardware cost, reduce the energy consumption and allow a more efficient use of servers. Nowadays lot of servers are used inefficiently bec... Read More about Performance Evaluation of Virtualization with Cloud Computing.

Representation and Decision Making in the Immune System (2010)
Thesis
McEwan, C. Representation and Decision Making in the Immune System. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4157

The immune system has long been attributed cognitive capacities such as "recognition" of pathogenic agents; "memory" of previous infections; "regulation" of a cavalry of detector and effector cells; and "adaptation" to a changing environment and evo...

Oh what a tangled weave we weave: experiences of doing multiple perspectives research in families (2010)
Journal Article
Harden, J., Backett-Milburn, K., Hill, M., & MacLean, A. (2010). Oh what a tangled weave we weave: experiences of doing multiple perspectives research in families. International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 13, 441-452. https://doi.org/10.1080/13645571003650979

It is not uncommon to explore the views of parents and children in qualitative research with families. Yet the implications and challenges of a multiple perspective approach often remain at a relatively taken‐for‐granted level. In this article we dra...
