Robot Calibration Using Artificial Neural Networks (1995)
Thesis
Zhong, X. Robot Calibration Using Artificial Neural Networks. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2254583

Robot calibration is an integrated procedure of measurement and data processing to improve and maintain robot positioning accuracy. Existing robot calibration techniques require extensive human intervention and off-line processing, which preclude the... Read More about Robot Calibration Using Artificial Neural Networks.

Daylight illuminance modelling for the United Kingdom and Europe (1995)
Thesis
Angus, R. C. Daylight illuminance modelling for the United Kingdom and Europe. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3712

This thesis highlights the benefits to occupants and owners of buildings who utilise daylight effectively. Many cases of absence are related to depression or Seasonal Adjustment Disorder(SAD) which results from inadequate exposure to daylight in the...

A study of arithmetic circuits and the effect of utilising Reed-Muller techniques (1995)
Thesis
Guan, Z. A study of arithmetic circuits and the effect of utilising Reed-Muller techniques. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4340

Reed-Muller algebraic techniques, as an alternative means in logic design, became more attractive recently, because of their compact representations of logic functions and yielding of easily testable circuits. It is claimed by some researchers that R... Read More about A study of arithmetic circuits and the effect of utilising Reed-Muller techniques.

An empirical study of the impact of information technology on corporate financial reporting: a contingency perspective (1995)
Thesis
Xiao, Z. An empirical study of the impact of information technology on corporate financial reporting: a contingency perspective. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3605

This thesis investigates whether information technology [IT] ameliorates or exacerbates the information asymmetry between management and external users of financial information, and ascertains whether and under what circumstances IT has an impact on...
