The importance of e-government models lies in their offering a basis to measure and guide e-government. There is still no agreement on how to assess a government online. Most of the e-government models are not based on research, nor are they validate... Read More about A critical analysis of e-government evaluation models at national and local municipal levels.

Modelling of nonuniform magnetic field effects on partially magnetised Y-junction circulator (2009)
Thesis
Chung, H. Modelling of nonuniform magnetic field effects on partially magnetised Y-junction circulator. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2563

The success of modelling partially magnetised linear 3-port junction circulator, which is non-uniformly biased, depends chiefly on the precise representation of the strength of the intrinsic magnetic field in the axial direction across the ferrite ma...

Much of contemporary research in Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) has partitioned into either algorithmic machine learning and optimisation, or, modelling biologically plausible dynamical systems, with little overlap between. We propose that this dich... Read More about Representation in the (Artificial) Immune System.

A configuration approach for selecting a data warehouse architecture (2008)
Thesis
Weir, R. A configuration approach for selecting a data warehouse architecture. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2445

Living in the Information Age, organisations must be able to exploit their data alongside the traditional economic resources of man, machine and money. Accordingly, organisations implement data warehouses to organise and consolidate their data, which... Read More about A configuration approach for selecting a data warehouse architecture.
