Generalised Reed-Muller ASIC converter. (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Almaini, A. E. A., & Burnside, K. (1996, October). Generalised Reed-Muller ASIC converter

The paper outlines the design for a new IC for bidirectional conversion between the functional and operational domains of logic funcyions. The circuit can generate all fixed polarities of Generalised Reed-Muller expansions for a given Boolean express... Read More about Generalised Reed-Muller ASIC converter..

The skull beneath the skin: entity-relationship models of information artifacts (1996)
Journal Article
Green, T. R. G., & Benyon, D. (1996). The skull beneath the skin: entity-relationship models of information artifacts. International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 44(6), 801-828. https://doi.org/10.1006/ijhc.1996.0034

Data modelling reveals the internal structure of an information system, abstracting away
from details of the physical representation. We show that entity-relationship modelling, a
well-tried example of a data-modelling technique, can be applied to... Read More about The skull beneath the skin: entity-relationship models of information artifacts.

Analysis of electromagnetic wave propogation using 3D finite-difference time-domain methods with parallel processing. (1996)
Thesis
Buchanan, W. J. Analysis of electromagnetic wave propogation using 3D finite-difference time-domain methods with parallel processing. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4022

The 3D Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method simulates structures in the time-domain using a direct form of Maxwell’s curl equations. This method has the advantage over other simulation methods in that it does not use empirical approximations....

Designing a probe to explore home information systems in the United Kingdom (1996)
Journal Article
Davenport, E., Higgins, M., & Gillham, M. (1996). Designing a probe to explore home information systems in the United Kingdom. Online Information Review, 20(2), 75-80. https://doi.org/10.1108/eb024565

The authors are engaged in a three-year study of home information systems in the United Kingdom. The project addresses cable and satellite, multimedia CDs and paper-based systems, and considers both supply (many of the companies involved are inward i...
