The discussion tasks in question, which were undertaken within th... Read More about Looking for evidence of deep learning in constructively aligned online discussions..

Development and evaluation of composite insulated beams. (2006)
Thesis
Bahadori-Jahromi, A. Development and evaluation of composite insulated beams. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2

Decline in supplies of old growth wood coupled with increased demand for structural timber by the construction industry led to creation of engineered timber products (EWPs) comprising wood waste.

Spermicide, cryptic female choice and the evolution of sperm form and function (2006)
Journal Article
Holman, L., & Snook, R. R. (2006). Spermicide, cryptic female choice and the evolution of sperm form and function. Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 19(5), 1660-1670. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1420-9101.2006.01112.x

Sperm competition and cryptic female choice profoundly affect sperm morphology, producing diversity within both species and individuals. One type of within‐individual sperm variation is sperm heteromorphism, in which each male produces two or more di...

Tackling Plagiarism in the Level One Biology Class (2006)
Journal Article
Tierney, A., Brown, A., & Neil, D. (2006). Tackling Plagiarism in the Level One Biology Class. Practice and evidence of the scholarship of teaching and learning in higher education, 1(1), 13-21

The Level One Biology class at the University of Glasgow reported 23 cases of plagiarism in session 2003/04. Several measures were put i.n place to help students understand plagiarism and how to avoid it. This has included changing the format and top...

An auto-configurable, and, adaptable, metric-driven cluster-head organisation for hybrid multi-hop routing (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Migas, N., & Buchanan, W. (2006, March). An auto-configurable, and, adaptable, metric-driven cluster-head organisation for hybrid multi-hop routing. Presented at 13th Annual IEEE International Symposium and Workshop on Engineering of Computer-Based Systems (ECBS'06)

Multi-hop ad-hoc routing is a challenging issue, because of the dynamic network topology, and limited capabilities of resource-constrained mobile devices. This paper proposes a metric-driven clustering organisation of participating nodes which provid...

The Burgundian regnum and the Roman state (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dodd, L. (2006, April). The Burgundian regnum and the Roman state. Paper presented at Classical Association of England and Wales Annual Conference

An examination of the unusual relationship between the Burgundian kingdom and the Roman state during the 6th century. This paper demonstrates that, far from being antagonistic towards the Roman empire, the Burgundians viewed their kingdom as an exte... Read More about The Burgundian regnum and the Roman state.

On the interaction of TCP and routing protocols in MANETs (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Papanastasiou, S., Mackenzie, L. M., Ould-Khaoua, M., & Charissis, V. (2006, February). On the interaction of TCP and routing protocols in MANETs. Presented at Advanced Int'l Conference on Telecommunications and Int'l Conference on Internet and Web Applications and Services (AICT-ICIW'06), Guadeloupe, French Caribbean

Recent research in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) has highlighted the detrimental effect of multiple retransmission timeouts (RTOs) on TCP throughput. However, the effect of the routing protocol’s buffering strategy on this phenomenon has not been e... Read More about On the interaction of TCP and routing protocols in MANETs.
