The application of neural networks to non-destructive testing techniques (2001)
Thesis
Watson, J. N. The application of neural networks to non-destructive testing techniques. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9470

The low strain test method has become the prevalent method for integrity testing of cast in situ foundation piles. The automated interpretation of the sonic echo traces resulting from this test would prove beneficial to industry through the standardi...

Wavelet-based filtering for the clinical evaluation of atrial fibrillation. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Watson, J. N., Addison, P., Grubb, N. R., Clegg, G. R., Robertson, C. E., & Fox, K. A. A. (2001, October). Wavelet-based filtering for the clinical evaluation of atrial fibrillation. Presented at 23rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society

Summary form only given. This paper describes the work in progress to develop a new ECG signal filtering technique to aid the clinical analysis of atrial fibrillation. The method separates the wavelet transform modulus maxima corresponding to the sig... Read More about Wavelet-based filtering for the clinical evaluation of atrial fibrillation..

Caught between real and virtual worlds. (2001)
Book Chapter
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2001). Caught between real and virtual worlds. In J. Bawa, P. Dorazio, & L. Trenner (Eds.), The Usability Business: Making the Web Work (60-70). Springer-Verlag

This chapter describes how we, as HCI practitioners, contributed to the design of a collaborative virtual environment-based simulator. This simulator is to be used by senior maritime professionals to practice and acquire safety-critical skills throug... Read More about Caught between real and virtual worlds..

Effect of species, plant part, and season of harvest on n-alkane concentrations in the cuticular wax of common rangeland grasses from southern Africa (2001)
Journal Article
Smith, D., Mayes, R. W., & Raats, J. G. (2001). Effect of species, plant part, and season of harvest on n-alkane concentrations in the cuticular wax of common rangeland grasses from southern Africa. Australian journal of agricultural research, 52, 875-882. https://doi.org/10.1071/AR00032

The use of plant alkane concentrations to measure diet composition of herbivores has been shown to be a reliable technique in animals grazing temperate, sown pastures that contain a relatively small number of plant species. There is potential to deve... Read More about Effect of species, plant part, and season of harvest on n-alkane concentrations in the cuticular wax of common rangeland grasses from southern Africa.

The Influence of food Ingestion on blood pressure in stroke patients. (2001)
Journal Article
Rowat, A. M., Wardlaw, J. M., Dennis, M. S., & Warlow, C. P. (2001). The Influence of food Ingestion on blood pressure in stroke patients. Cerebrovascular Diseases, 12, 152-158. https://doi.org/10.1159/000047698

We aimed to investigate whether and how often changes in blood pressure (BP) were occurring in relation to eating in a large sample of acute stroke patients. BP was measured non-invasively at 5-min intervals from 10 min before the meal, throughout th... Read More about The Influence of food Ingestion on blood pressure in stroke patients..

What do nurses and therapists think about the positioning of stroke patients? (2001)
Journal Article
Rowat, A. M. (2001). What do nurses and therapists think about the positioning of stroke patients?. Journal of Advanced Nursing, 34, 795-803. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2648.2001.01810.x

Background.  At present, there are a number of different positioning strategies for stroke patients, but these are mainly based on clinical experience rather than research. Prior to developing a study to evaluate the effect of positioning on outcome... Read More about What do nurses and therapists think about the positioning of stroke patients?.

An agent based Bayesian forecasting model for enhanced network security. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pikoulas, J., Buchanan, W. J., Mannion, M., & Triantafyllopoulos, K. (2001, April). An agent based Bayesian forecasting model for enhanced network security. Presented at ECBS 2001

Security has become a major issue in many organisations, but most systems still rely on operating systems, and a user ID and password system to provide user authentication and validation. They also tend to be centralized in their approach which makes... Read More about An agent based Bayesian forecasting model for enhanced network security..

An emerging form of freight modelling. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Neffendorf, H., Wigan, M., Donnelly, R., Williams, I., & Collop, M. (2001, September). An emerging form of freight modelling. Presented at European Transport Conference

Among transport planning models, freight transport has long been the Cinderella. Despite the critical importance of freight movement and commercial vehicle traffic, the behavioural influences are poorly understood. The typical approach, almost an aft...
