An investigation of the prevalence and impact of organisational learning in UK police forces. (2010)
Thesis
RITCHIE, S.H. 2010. An investigation of the prevalence and impact of organisational learning in UK police forces. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

This research aims to inform the relevance of Organisational Learning (OL) to policing management practice by investigating its impact and prevalence in UK policing. In the prescriptive literature, OL is propounded as an important aspect of effective... Read More about An investigation of the prevalence and impact of organisational learning in UK police forces..

Complexity management of H.264/AVC video compression. (2006)
Thesis
KANNANGARA, C.S. 2006. Complexity management of H.264/AVC video compression. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The H. 264/AVC video coding standard offers significantly improved compression efficiency and flexibility compared to previous standards. However, the high computational complexity of H. 264/AVC is a problem for codecs running on low-power hand held... Read More about Complexity management of H.264/AVC video compression..

Complexity management for video encoders. (2004)
Thesis
ZHAO, Y. 2004. Complexity management for video encoders. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Software implementation of block-based video coding standards has been used in a wide range of applications. In many cases, such as real-time multimedia systems or power-constrained systems, the coding performance of software-only video encoders and...

A formalism for describing and simulating systems with interacting components. (1996)
Thesis
CORR, G.A. 1996. A formalism for describing and simulating systems with interacting components. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

This thesis addresses the problem of descriptive complexity presented by systems involving a high number of interacting components. It investigates the evaluation measure of performability and its application to such systems. A new description and si...
