Data-to-Text Generation (D2T) is the subfield of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) that aims to build systems capable of summarising nonlinguistic structured data into textual reports. D2T systems extract important in... Read More about Context-aware data-to-text generation..

Predicting hydrates plugging risk in subsea gas pipeline: CFD, analytical and linear regression modelling. (2024)
Thesis

This study addresses critical limitations in managing hydrate plugging risk for gas pipelines. The main challenges lie in accurately predicting hydrate deposition rates and associated pressure drops. To overcome these limitations, the study developed... Read More about Predicting hydrates plugging risk in subsea gas pipeline: CFD, analytical and linear regression modelling..

It's stress, Jim, but not as we know it: the mental health and wellbeing of engineering students. (2024)
Thesis
TAIT, J.-A. 2024. It's stress, Jim, but not as we know it: the mental health and wellbeing of engineering students. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2571283

Until recently, engineering students have not been well represented in student mental health and wellbeing literature, and - because of their demographic (primarily young men) - they may be at higher risk of poor mental health and wellbeing. The aim... Read More about It's stress, Jim, but not as we know it: the mental health and wellbeing of engineering students..

Geomechanical impact of bio-competitive exclusion chemical on reservoir rocks. (2023)
Thesis
PERETOMODE, E. 2023. Geomechanical impact of bio-competitive exclusion chemical on reservoir rocks. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2571274

This study describes a novel approach known as "bio-competitive exclusion", which uses chemical nitrates as an oilfield chemical to treat reservoir souring and control the activities of sulfate-reducing bacteria. Because of its flexibility and extens... Read More about Geomechanical impact of bio-competitive exclusion chemical on reservoir rocks..
