Introduction
Measuring consumer expectations and perceptions of service provision is supported
by both practitioners and academics. The National Health Service, as a result of
policy reforms and structural changes, recognises the role of the patie... Read More about To What Extent do the Categorisations of Novice and Expert Contribute to an Understanding of the Evaluation and Communication of Service Provision in the Maternity Services..

Integrating measurement techniques in an Object-Oriented systems design process. (1999)
Thesis
Li-Thiao-Te, P. systems design process. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9468

The theme of this thesis is the assessment of quality in class hierarchies. In particular, the notion of
inheritance and the mechanism of redefinition from a modelling perspective are reviewed. It is
shown that, in Object-Oriented languages, contro... Read More about Integrating measurement techniques in an Object-Oriented systems design process..

Recycling of demolished masonry rubble (1999)
Thesis
De Venny, A. S. Recycling of demolished masonry rubble. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6043

The recycling of demolished masonry rubble as the coarse aggregate in new concrete represents an interesting possibility at a time when the cost of dumping such material is on the increase. With growing concerns over the environmental impact of aggre... Read More about Recycling of demolished masonry rubble.

An investigation into the processes responsible for the generation of the spatial pattern of the spionid polychaete pygospio elegans claparede (1999)
Thesis
Bolam, S. G. An investigation into the processes responsible for the generation of the spatial pattern of the spionid polychaete pygospio elegans claparede. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2812

The spionid polychaete Pygospio elegans Claparede (1863) is a small, tube-building opportunist. On the intertidal sandflat Drum Sands, Firth of Forth, Scotland, this species is numerically dominant and forms areas of increased density or 'patches'....

made sufficiently reliable and affordable, using currently available technology, so as... Read More about Pedestrian Detection by Computer Vision..

The water ingress characteristics of stressed masonry. (1999)
Thesis
Tait, C. J. The water ingress characteristics of stressed masonry. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3672

Water ingress, usually by wind-driven rain, is the main cause of premature
deterioration in masonry structures. Water acts as a transport mechanism for
aggressive chemicals and can also undergo freeze/thaw cycles leading to bursting of
the masonry... Read More about The water ingress characteristics of stressed masonry..
