Thesis
Macaulay, C. Gathering. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/7241

The methodologies of systems design, rooted in engineering and in cognitivist conceptions of human action, have been stretched to the limit by the complexity of uses to which information and communication technologies are being turned. Within segme... Read More about Inside the Palimpsest: A Study of Newsroom Information Gathering..

On anomalously low values of the tensile strength of water (2000)
Journal Article
Williams, P. R., & Williams, R. L. (2000). On anomalously low values of the tensile strength of water. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 456, 1321-1332. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2000.0564

We provide an explanation for the anomalously low values of liquid tensile strength recorded in some experiments involving the reflection of a pressure pulse (as tension) at the free surface of a column of water, or at a flexible membrane. The presen... Read More about On anomalously low values of the tensile strength of water.

Population turnover and habitat dynamics in Notonecta (Hemiptera: Notonectidae) metapopulations (2000)
Journal Article
Briers, R. A., & Warren, P. H. (2000). Population turnover and habitat dynamics in Notonecta (Hemiptera: Notonectidae) metapopulations. Oecologia, 123(2), 216-222. https://doi.org/10.1007/s004420051008

Simple metapopulation models assume that local populations occur in patches of uniform quality habitat separated by non-habitat. However field metapopulations tend to show considerable spatial and temporal variation in patch quality, and hence probab...

Evolvable hardware design of combinational logic circuits. (2000)
Thesis
Kalganova, T. Evolvable hardware design of combinational logic circuits. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4341

Evolvable Hardware (EHW), as an alternative method for logic design, became more attractive recently, because of its algebra-independent techniques for generating selfadaptive self-reconfigurable hardware. This thesis investigates and relates both... Read More about Evolvable hardware design of combinational logic circuits..
