The analysis of environmental information: a study of the dissemination, mediation and interpretation of news. (1996)
Thesis
CAMPBELL, F.C.B. 1996. The analysis of environmental information: a study of the dissemination, mediation and interpretation of news. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1688400

The project arose out of the fact that information changes as journalists gather, interpret and disseminate environmental information. A model was developed describing the flow of environmental information in the media, which shows that journalists r...

Microgravity measurement in space using imaging techniques. (1996)
Thesis
STEEDMAN, M.J. 1996. Microgravity measurement in space using imaging techniques. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The proposal is made that very small changes in gravitational field could be detected by monitoring a cell of heated fluid. Variations in gravity would be observed by their effect on the convection in the fluid cell. It is proposed that the convectio...

Building design team communication: practice and education. (1996)
Thesis
WHYTE, A. 1996. Building design team communication: practice and education. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

This study examined three propositions: - (i) there are problems in the building design team created by difficulties of communication between different professional disciplines, (ii) communication difficulties are primarily a function of cultural dif...

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...

The effectiveness of educating community nurses by distance learning. (1996)
Thesis
LAWTON, S.M.R. 1996. The effectiveness of educating community nurses by distance learning. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the effectiveness of distance learning within post-registration community nurse education. In this context, 'effectiveness' is defined as being useful to the student or 'fit for purpose' and it focuses on the...
