Rapid or mechanical filtration in India with particular reference to the design and construction of the new mechanical filtration plant at Hyderabad, (Deccan)
(The University of Edinburgh, 1923)The numerous advantages to be obtained from the adoption of the "Rapid" or "Mechanical" Filtration Plant are being more and more widely recognised, as can be seen from the large number of Plants of this nature which ... -
Some researches on the structure, strength and commercial testing of steel rope
(The University of Edinburgh, 1918)Historical and Introductory Sketch: Invention and Development of Wire Ropes -
Experimental investigation of the losses in the component parts of a three-stage turbine pump : with analysis of the results and discussion of their relation to the ordinary theory
(The University of Edinburgh, 1923)Consultation of publications on the testing of centrifugal pumps seems to show that while much experimental work has been carried out, yet the work has been confined mainly to overall tests. -
An investigation into the ventilation of mines: (I) an examination of the Rockingham Curve; (II) precision of measurement in mine ventilation; (III) the determination of volumetric losses in mine ventilation; (IV) experiments on an aircraft fan
(The University of Edinburgh, 1935)1. The volume varies as the speed of the fan (resistance constant) (Figs. 3, 4 and 5.) -
The economic utilisation of town refuse
(The University of Edinburgh, 1936)In this paper I propose dealing with two distinct methods of extracting revenue from the disposal of town refuse in Scotland. -
A study of shotfiring in mines, with special reference to safety
(The University of Edinburgh, 1959)1. Although the hazard involved in the use and handling of explosives, expressed as persons killed or injured per million shots fired, is not high, the large number of shots fired annually results in a comparatively ... -
Influence of adhesive curing temperature upon the performance of FRP strengthened steel structures at ambient and elevated temperatures
(The University of Edinburgh, 2017-11-30)The structural adhesives widely used in structural strengthening applications are thermoset ambient cure adhesive polymers. At ambient temperatures, these polymers are in a relatively hard and inflexible state. At higher ... -
Behaviour of reinforced concrete frame structure against progressive collapse
(The University of Edinburgh, 2018-07-04)A structure subjected to extreme load due to explosion or human error may lead to progressive collapse. One of the direct methods specified by design guidelines for assessing progressive collapse is the Alternate Load ... -
Advanced digital electrical impedance tomography system for biomedical imaging
(The University of Edinburgh, 2018-07-04)Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) images the spatial conductivity distribution in an electrode-bounded sensing domain by non-intrusively generating an electric field and measuring the induced boundary voltage. Since ... -
Advanced optical fibre communication via nonlinear Fourier transform
(The University of Edinburgh, 2018-07-04)Optical fibre communication using the Nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT) is one of the potential solutions to tackle the so-called capacity crunch problem in long-haul optical fibre networks. The NFT transforms the nonlinear ... -
Towards chemical species tomography of carbon dioxide for aviation turbine emissions
(The University of Edinburgh, 2017-11-30)This thesis sets out to examine the proposal that, by using tomography and gas sensing techniques to detect and image gas concentration in fast moving flows, engineers can improve the combustion diagnostics and emissions ... -
Submission of evidence : Review of building regulations and fire safety
(The University of Edinburgh, 2018)This document provides a collective response from several University of Edinburgh academics to the questions posed as part of Dame Judith Hackitt’s Call for Evidence, Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety. The ... -
Pilot-scale testing of dynamic operation and measurement of interfacial wave dynamics in post-combustion carbon dioxide capture
(The University of Edinburgh, 2018)Flexible carbon capture and storage (CCS) has the potential to play a significant part in the decarbonisation of electricity generation portfolios which have significant penetration from intermittent renewable sources. ... -
Influence of snow microstructure and properties on the grip of winter tyres
(The University of Edinburgh, 2017-11-30)The friction of tyres on roads has been of practical importance for many years with nearly 80% of terrestrial traffic making use of rubber tyres. Tyres provide the grip required for vehicle acceleration, braking and ... -
Publications submitted ... describing researches on some laboratory and terrestrial electrical discharges
(The University of Edinburgh, 1953)THE RUPTURING CAPACITY OF AN OIL CIRCUIT-BREAKER BY E. B. WEDMORE, W. B. WHITNEY), AND C. E. R. BRUCE -
Fuleli escape
(The University of Edinburgh, 1901)The Fuleli Canal, to which the Escape has just been completed, connecting it with the Sea, and turning it from an Inundation Canal, flowing for six months in the year, into a perennial canal, owes its origin to an old ... -

Design, fabrication and characterisation of silicon carbide resonators
(The University of Edinburgh, 2011)Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are integrated mechanical and electrical elements realised with micro-fabrication technology and employed as sensors and actuators. The integration of reliable MEMS switches and ... -
Reliability assessment of distribution networks incorporating regulator requirements, generic network equivalents and smart grid functionalities
(The University of Edinburgh, 2017-07-10)Over the past decades, the concepts and methods for reliability assessment have evolved from analysing the ability of individual components to operate without faults and as intended during their lifetime, into the ... -
Power and spectrally efficient integrated high-speed LED drivers for visible light communication
(The University of Edinburgh, 2018-07-04)Recent trends in mobile broadband indicates that the available radio frequency (RF) spectrum will not be enough to support the data requirements of the immediate future. Visible light communication, which uses visible ...
