Performance around Lake Constance: Theatre, Place and Identity in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (2003)
Thesis
Wilkinson, J. Performance around Lake Constance: Theatre, Place and Identity in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. (Thesis). University of Glasgow. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/3587828

This study explores the reciprocal relationship between the place Lake Constance and the various types of theatre located in that place. It situates the theatre landscape within the natural, tourist and border landscapes of the region and reflects o...

Second Order Sliding Mode Control of a Diesel Engine (2003)
Journal Article
Khan, M. K., Goh, K., & Spurgeon, S. K. (2003). Second Order Sliding Mode Control of a Diesel Engine. Asian Journal of Control, 5(4), 614-619. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1934-6093.2003.tb00177.x

A 2nd order sliding mode algorithm is applied to control the speed of a diesel power generator set. Tuning guidelines are given. The robustness of the controller is investigated and the performance of the 2nd order sliding mode controller is compared... Read More about Second Order Sliding Mode Control of a Diesel Engine.

Response of temperate microplankton communities to N:Si ratio perturbation (2003)
Journal Article
Roberts, E. C., Davidson, K., & Gilpin, L. (2003). Response of temperate microplankton communities to N:Si ratio perturbation. Journal of plankton research, 25(12), 1485-1495. https://doi.org/10.1093/plankt/fbg109

In order to study the effect of the nitrogen:silicon (N:Si) ratio on temperate microplankton food webs, mesocosm experiments were conducted in Trondheim (Norway) using two different ratios (molar ratios of 1:1 and 4:1). With the exception of diatoms,... Read More about Response of temperate microplankton communities to N:Si ratio perturbation.

Analysis of Stiffened Plates: An Effective Semi-Analytical Method (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kuang, J., & Zhang, H. (2003). Analysis of Stiffened Plates: An Effective Semi-Analytical Method. In B. Topping (Ed.), Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Civil and Structural Engineering Computing. https://doi.org/10.4203/ccp.77.36

During the past three decades, a large amount of research results on the analysis and design of stiffened plates has been reported. Most of the methods used in the analyses include finite element [1,2,3], finite strip [4,5,6] and boundary element [7,...

A stochastic frontier model of the productive efficiency of Korean container terminals (2003)
Journal Article
Cullinane, K., & Song, D. (2003). A stochastic frontier model of the productive efficiency of Korean container terminals. Applied Economics, 35(3), 251-267. https://doi.org/10.1080/00036840210139355

A central objective of port privatization and/or deregulation policies is stimulating greater efficiency by engendering a more competitive market and commercial approach to management. Korea provides a prime example of a nation that is implementing s... Read More about A stochastic frontier model of the productive efficiency of Korean container terminals.
