Abstract:
Stewart Crichton Miller, a mechanical engineer of great distinction, was the former Director of Engineering and Technology for Rolls-Royce plc, where he worked for over 40 years. Stewart was a foremost contributor to several of the company's most important development projects, chief among them being the RB211-535 engine project, which is used on Boeing 757 aircraft. Stewart was born on 2 July 1934 to William and Grace Miller in Kirkcaldy, Fife, where he spent his childhood. His primary school education at Kirkcaldy Fife High Primary School started on 4 September 1939, the day after war was declared. A contemporary, with whom he was a close friend during school years, is Archie Howie (F.R.S. 1978), a distinguished physicist and former Head of the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge. Professor Howie recalls that he and Stewart vied with each other for school prizes, etc., with Stewart emerging as the Dux of the primary school. On leaving primary school, Stewart attended Kirkcaldy High School from 1945 to 1951. It was there that he received the Scottish Higher Learning Certificate in 1950 and an award in the Edinburgh University Bursary Competition. He continued his education at the University of Edinburgh from 1951 to 1954, enrolling as an engineering degree candidate. His choice of engineering as a career was considered unusual by others for someone of his high academic abilities. However, this doubt only increased his determination. His research emphasis while studying was on mechanical vibration, which served as useful background for his later work at Rolls-Royce on turbo-machinery. He graduated in 1954 from Edinburgh with a BSc (firstclass honours) in mechanical engineering. After leaving university, Stewart spent two years completing a graduate apprenticeship with Rolls-Royce that marked the beginning of his extensive career. Spending his first year gaining workshop experience and his second in all the major technical offices, Stewart subsequently qualified to receive the status of Chartered Engineer.

Abstract:
AbstractWe investigate the problem of improving performance in distributional word similarity systems trained on sparse data, focusing on a family of similarity functions we call Dice-family functions (Dice 1945Ecology26(3): 297–302), including the similarity function introduced in Lin (1998Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Machine Learning, 296–304), and Curran (2004 PhD thesis, University of Edinburgh. College of Science and Engineering. School of Informatics), as well as a generalized version of Dice Coefficient used in data mining applications (Strehl 2000, 55). We propose a generalization of the Dice-family functions which uses a weight parameter α to make the similarity functions asymmetric. We show that this generalized family of functions (α systems) all belong to the class of asymmetric models first proposed in Tversky (1977Psychological Review84: 327–352), and in a multi-task evaluation of ten word similarity systems, we show that α systems have the best performance across word ranks. In particular, we show that α-parameterization substantially improves the correlations of all Dice-family functions with human judgements on three words sets, including the Miller–Charles/Rubenstein Goodenough word set (Miller and Charles 1991Language and Cognitive Processes6(1): 1–28; Rubenstein and Goodenough 1965Communications of the ACM8: 627–633).

Abstract:
Abstract The Department of Biochemistry at McGill University was inaugurated close to a century after the Medical School was founded. The roots of the Department, however, can be found at the very beginning of the Medical School in 1829. Because several of the founding faculty members of the Medical School were educated in Edinburgh, McGill's early medical program bore the imprint of the Edinburgh school-particularly in the importance placed on instruction in chemistry and on basic research. This survey of the development of a university department is structured on the succession of department chairs, and describes how the Department's scientific, pedagogical, and administrative activities were influenced by the particular abilities and dispositions of the individuals who were at the helm. It explains how the growth of external research institutes influenced the Department's evolution, and cites some of the noteworthy contributions of its members.

Abstract:
The plethora and availability of digital tools and practices have transformed the ways art is created, perceived and disseminated. This had a distinct impact on how research is conducted across the arts and humanities as a whole from practice-led to process-focused and people-centred research. Airea’s first issue “Computational tools and digital methods in creative practices” germinated from a series of research focuses that began in 2016 when the research network (sIREN) was established by PhD students in Edinburgh College of Art, the University of Edinburgh. sIREN's aim is to create a dialogue between several fields and promote new perceptions of research based on diverse methodological approaches. It seeks to form a platform of communication among arts and other disciplines, technologies and digital media, theory, practice and collaboration. For this, we organised a series seminars-workshops during the academic year 2016-2017 that brought together invited speakers from the University of Edinburgh (across Edinburgh College of Art, School of Education, School of Informatics, Edinburgh Centre for Robotics and School of Geosciences), the University of Warwick (Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies), the University of Newcastle (School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape) and the National Library of Scotland, followed by an international conference in May 2017, which included an interactive format of hands-on workshops, papers and a performance session.

Full text
Abstract:
More than 400 Polish medical refugees were associated with the Polish School of Medicine (PSM) at the University of Edinburgh between 1941 and 1949. This dissertation argues that the history of the PSM can fully be understood only as a part of the refugees’ broader experience of impelled or forced migration during and immediately after the Second World War. The key findings of this case study demonstrate that the opportunity to study or work at the PSM enabled the majority of Polish exiles to overcome, to a varying extent, their refugee predicament, while medical qualifications, transferable skills and trans-cultural competency obtained in wartime Britain allowed them to pursue professional and academic careers in different countries of post-war settlement, thus in turn contributing to a global circulation of medical knowledge and practice, especially between the University of Edinburgh and Poland. This specific case study contributes to the existing knowledge of Polish wartime migration to Britain in three interrelated ways. Firstly, an overarching transnational approach is used to combine and transcend Polish and British scholarly perspectives on, respectively, emigration or immigration. Secondly, the conceptual insularity of the existing literature on the topic is challenged by analysing archival, published and digital sources pertaining to the PSM with the help of various theoretical models and concepts borrowed from forced migration and diaspora studies. Thirdly, the conventional historiography of Polish-British wartime relations is challenged by emphasising the genuinely global ramifications of the PSM’s history. By interpreting the history of the PSM with the help of different analytical tools, such as Kunz’s and Johansson’s models of refugee movement and Tweed’s theory of diasporic religion, this dissertation provides a conceptual blueprint for further research on Polish wartime migration to Britain. In turn, this case study contributes to the development of forced migration and diaspora studies not only by empirically testing the explanatory power of existing theoretical models, but also by suggesting possible new conceptual avenues, such as analysing the pre-existing trans-cultural experiences of both Polish medical refugees and their hosts at the University of Edinburgh, and adding to the ‘triadic relationship’ of diaspora, homeland and host society a fourth dimension, i.e. conflict and cooperation between different migrant or refugee communities within the same host society.

Kenan, Thuraya. "Improving the effectiveness of e-learning implementation in the School of Engineering at Tripoli University." Thesis, University of Huddersfield, 2015. http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/28702/.

Full text
Abstract:
The study is concerned with generating recommendations for the development of e- learning strategy at the School of Engineering at Tripoli University in Libya. They are based on the identified barriers to the successful e-learning implementation in the institution after the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the questionnaires developed using SmartSurvey software package. The barriers were classified in three main categories: technical, cultural and mismanagement. These barriers were compared with those from Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries (as close culture) and UK (as international culture and developed country). Then a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) model for the diagnostic of the current stage of e-learning performance in the institution is developed. The user-centred design and action research approach are used for the design, development and implementation of an e-learning package for a module studied by Year 4 students from School of Engineering at Tripoli University. The e-learning packages played a supporting role in the delivery of the chosen module therefore the blended learning approach contributed to the improvement of the quality for the teaching and learning processes. A novel I-CUBE model which can be used for the development of teaching and learning activities in a digital era is proposed. The sources of information for the proposed model are: quantitative and qualitative analysis of the stakeholders answers; conclusions for the (SWOT) analysis; researcher’s reflections of the design, development and implementation of the e-learning package, study of the relevant educational publications and researcher’s personal experience. There are several common opinions about the factors influencing the successful e-learning implementation so it is possible to make correlations between the stakeholders’ points of view and to construct the surfaces which are included in the I-CUBE model. A set of institutional, pedagogical and technological recommendations for the development of e-learning strategy in the School of Engineering at Tripoli University are formulated. These are derived from the analysis of barriers and SWOT model related to the successful e-learning implementation in Libyan Higher Education Institutes (LHEIs). Also the aspects included in the proposed novel I-CUBE model for the development of teaching and learning activities, the researcher’s personal experience as a student and lecturer at Tripoli University and as a PhD student at the University of Huddersfield in UK are also considered. The implementation of these recommendations will enable the enhancement of students’ learning experience and staff satisfaction through technology-based education addressing the flexible and diverse learning community’s needs.

Abstract:
There is a need to research the processes of educational change in Singapore as rapid changes can result in complex problems. This is a study on academic staffs responses to an educational change in an engineering School in a Singapore University. The theoretical framework of this study is based on Etzioni and Lehman's (1980) exposition that organizational factors are important in studying educational change and Blenkin's et. at. (1992) theory of beliefs about change. Perspectives of change in Singapore, particularly the academics', were analyzed, using Blenkin's et. al. (1992) description of the different attitudes towards change. Schon's (1971) model of dissemination of change was also used in the examination of how this change was implemented. Previously, students undertook one year of common engineering curriculum when they enrolled in a Bachelor of Engineering program in this University. This has, however, been expanded to a two-year common engineering program. This study examines the academic staff s responses to a change from one year to two years common engineering in a Bachelor of Engineering program. Along with this change is an attempt to broaden the engineering curriculum of the Bachelor program. This study investigates the organizational factors that influence the academics' responses to the curriculum change, and how they implemented the planned change in their teaching practices. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 10% of the academic staff in the Engineering School in this University. The interviewees concurred on the points that more channels should be provided for them to communicate their views on the curricular issues in the University, and that top-down decisions should be incorporated with bottom-up input. In addition, focus group discussions were carried out with 5% of the student population enrolled in the two- year common engineering program. Documentary analysis was also carried out in this study. A number of the University's publications on.the rationale of this change as well as newspaper articles were analyzed. This study discovers that more attention should be paid to students' learning, particularly in developing attitudes and skills that will help them adapt to a knowledge-based economy and rapid economic developments. In general, the academics in the present study held an attitude of change that is reflective of Blenkin's et. al. (1992) description, that change is inevitable, and survival entails adaptation to this change. They felt, however, that educational changes were too sporadic and frequent, consisting of reactions to external changes, particular in the area of economic changes. They desired a greater and deeper involvement in decisions on curriculum changes so that they could contribute their professional and pedagogical viewpoints. This study shows, therefore, the importance of examining the factors that influence academics to change and the stages they go through. It also shows the need to involve academics at every stage of a curriculum change.

Abstract:
In order for society to achieve its goal of a sustainable future, it is important that the school system implements education for sustainable development (ESD). In this report, a sustainable development (SD) learning package from Snowflake Education, consisting of a system thinking module (STM) and the game FishBanks, an ESD role-play game developed by Dennis Meadows, was further developed in two separate directions. One part was to develop a prototype, based on the STM, applicable for the Upper secondary school (USS) and the other part was about incorporating an economical aspect into FishBanks.In order to achieve this, the study conducted a product development of the prototype for the USS and a bank role in FishBanks. The test subjects in this study was from a conducted game seminar at an USS with 52 students and two interviews with the client (USS) and the outsourcer (Snowflake Education). The results were then analysed using a thematic approach. The economical aspects in FishBanks were tested through a product development method, which included the authors’ own testing, two independent test subjects as well as a testing session with the CEO of Snowflake Education.The main findings in the first part of the study showed that a for the STM to be applicable for the USS, the structure had to change, the content had to be reduced and it should include more positive emotional elements. The students at the USS experienced the level of difficulty in the developed prototype to be moderate to rather difficult. Moreover, most of the students understood the concept of complex systems to a greater or lesser extent. There were further findings that supported existing theories within ESD, which suggest that students seem to focus on the individual’s behavior.The interview with the teacher within the USS displayed issues concerning the ESD competence among the faculty and management at the USS, which was confirmed by theory within ESD. In the second part, the economical perspective was broadened through the implementation of a bank role in FishBanks.In the first part, the study concluded that the STM is applicable to an USS in the subjects of Social- and Natural Science, but the structure had to change due to the format being unsuitable to the USS. Furthermore, the content in the STM was considered too heavy and lacking emotional content for the USS. In the second part, the bank role of FishBanks showed potential within ESD. The overall results of the study were promising, but the recommendation was that both parts should undergo further revisions, before being applied.

Abstract:
With the increased dependency on the Internet and computers, the software industry continues to grow. However, just as new software is being developed, older software is still in existence and must be maintained. This tends to be a difficult task, as the developers charged with maintaining the software are not always the developers who designed it. Reverse engineering is the study of an application's code and behavior, in order to better understand the system and its design. There are many existing tools that will assist the developer with this undertaking, such as Rational Rose®, jGRASP®, and Eclipse®. However, all the tools generate high level abstractions of the system in question, like the class diagram. It would be more beneficial to developers to have illustrations with more detailed information, such as the method level dependencies in the source code. In order to accomplish this task, a new framework has been developed that will allow the user to view both high level and lower level code detail. As users attempt to perform code maintenance, they will run the code through an existing tool, such as Rational Rose®, and then through the Method Level Dependency Generator component, to show the method level dependencies. These tools used together provide the software maintainer with more useful information, assisting with the software development process, including code design, implementation, and testing.

Abstract:
A novel wave tank has been in use at the University of Edinburgh since 2003. Its main innovation is in the layout of the absorbing/wave-maker paddles, which are arranged in a 90-degree arc in an attempt to improve the angular spread of the generated three-dimensional sea states, and to minimise cross-tank seiches. This paper reports on current studies that aim to assess the quality of the waves in the tank. Directional regular and irregular wave analysis is conducted using data from two arrays of wave elevation probes. Comparisons with the expected wave patterns are made. Emphasis is given to the description of the experimental methodology. The study should prove particularly relevant in the design of a future circular combined wave and current tank.

Abstract:
The College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Technology at the California State University, Los Angeles has expanded its National Summer Transportation Institute into a year-long program by creating the Infrastructure Academy Transportation Program (IATP). The goal of this program is to build a pipeline of diverse, well qualified young people for the transportation industry. The program works with high school students and teachers to offer academic courses, basic skills, workforce readiness training, internships, extracurricular activities, and career placements to prepare students and place them into the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) College track. The academy emphasizes on transportation as an industry sector and aims to increase the number of underrepresented minorities and women who directly enter the transportation workforce. It also aims at increasing the number of young people who enter college to study engineering or technology and subsequently pursue careers in transportation- and infrastructure-related careers. The IATP was conducted as a full-year program with 30 student participants from high schools.
