The changing face of HR: in search of balance. (2006)
Journal Article
Francis, H., & Keegan, A. (2006). The changing face of HR: in search of balance. Human Resource Management Journal, 16, 231-249. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1748-8583.2006.00016.x

Current models of HRM suggest that expectations about HR roles are changing as organisations are striving to make the HR function leaner and more `strategic'. In our article we explore the changing roles of HRM as they are perceived by different stak... Read More about The changing face of HR: in search of balance..

Recounting the scores: an analysis of the QAA subject review grades 1995-2001. (2006)
Journal Article
Cook, R., Butcher, I., & Raeside, R. (2006). Recounting the scores: an analysis of the QAA subject review grades 1995-2001. Quality in Higher Education, 12, 135-144. https://doi.org/10.1080/13538320600916726

In this paper the grades awarded in the subject level review process that ran in England between 1995 and 2001 are examined. These grades have subsequently been used to sustain most published league tables and are often cited in debates about institu...

Extraction of an activity pattern language from EEG data (2006)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (2006). Extraction of an activity pattern language from EEG data. Neurocomputing, 69(10-12), 1313-1316. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2005.12.099

Recent research shows that activity patterns play an important role in neural information processing. This seems to be the case both at micro- and macro-level processes within the nervous system. An important question is how to extract such activity... Read More about Extraction of an activity pattern language from EEG data.

Algorithms in computer-aided design of VLSI circuits. (2006)
Thesis
Yang, M. Algorithms in computer-aided design of VLSI circuits. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6493

With the increased complexity of Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits, Computer Aided Design (CAD) plays an even more important role. Top-down design methodology and layout of VLSI are reviewed. Moreover, previously published algorithms in... Read More about Algorithms in computer-aided design of VLSI circuits..

Study of stratification in a (ICSSWH) Integrated CollectorStorage Solar Water Heater. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Junaidi, H., Henderson, D., Muneer, T., Grassie, T., & Currie, J. (2006). Study of stratification in a (ICSSWH) Integrated CollectorStorage Solar Water Heater.

Stratification inside the water storage tank of a solar heater is a desirable natural phenomenon that improves the collector output. For an ICS storage heater type, where the storage tank is in direct contact with the heating surface (absorber plate)...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
McQuaid, R. W., & Scherrer, W. (2006). Public private partnership - experiences of ICT in the UK, Germany and Austria.

The political context of governments differs between the UK, Germany and Austria, but each government currently has a positive view of PPP. There are many similarities to the drivers for PPPs in Austria, Germany and the UK. The UK has had more experi...

A stiffened plate analogy for plate-and -beam structures (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kuang, J. S., & Zhang, J. H. (2006). A stiffened plate analogy for plate-and -beam structures. In Joint International Conference on Computing and Decision Making in Civil and Building Engineering

The current design practice of plate-and-grid structures in buildings, such as waffle slabs and ribbed plates, is relied largely on code-specified approximate methods, and the deflection of the system is rarely evaluated owing to the complexity of ca...
