Composition of dynamic components based on behavioral descriptions (2018)
Thesis
Barati, M. Composition of dynamic components based on behavioral descriptions. (Thesis). Université de Sherbrooke. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2767225

Abstract: This thesis proposes solutions to four new problems stemming from a general framework of horizontal behavior composition, in which transition systems are used to model behaviors. The framework allows the realization of a new behavior from a... Read More about Composition of dynamic components based on behavioral descriptions.

Development and evaluation of composite insulated beams. (2006)
Thesis
Bahadori-Jahromi, A. Development and evaluation of composite insulated beams. (Thesis). Napier University. 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. The author designed, fabricated and tested composite i... Read More about Development and evaluation of composite insulated beams..

Modelling and Forecasting Human Populations using Sigmoid Models (1987)
Thesis
Raeside, R. Modelling and Forecasting Human Populations using Sigmoid Models. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1053286

Early this century "S-shaped" curves, sigmoids, gained
populari ty among demographers. However, by 1940, the approach
had "fallen out of favour", being criticised for giving po,or
results and having no theoretical validity. It was also
considered... Read More about Modelling and Forecasting Human Populations using Sigmoid Models.
