Welcome to STORRE: Stirling Online Research Repository
STORRE holds a continually growing collection of the full text of the research outputs of University of Stirling authors. It includes published journal articles, conference papers, book chapters, working papers, etc. As a result of the University policy encouraging open access, the repository will continue to develop as an important source of free full text access to Stirling's research.
STORRE also holds the full text of all University of Stirling research theses from September 2006 onwards; covering PhDs, Masters of Philosophy and Masters by Research plus Professional Higher Degrees by Research. A small collection of our older theses is also included, and is continually added to, due to our involvement in the British Library's EThOS service.

See
Driven by an increasing digitalised consumption of leisure, and consumer preferences evolving to favour speed and immediate gratification during consumption, new shorter formats of sport competitions are being introduced. Since 2021 Formula One have been discussing complementing their traditional race format, with alternative shorter formats to re-ignite the excitement of their fans. In this study, we explore the proclaimed excitement of fans towards the three different proposed formats of F1...
Blair K (2023) Addressing the Machine: Victorian Working-Class Poetry and Industrial Machinery. <i>Journal of Victorian Culture</i>, 28 (3), pp. 395-409. https://doi.org/10.1093/jvcult/vcac064
See
This article explores the representation of machinery by industrial workers in the Victorian period, and argues that their writings have a qualitatively different literary approach to machinery than that found in the work of established Victorian authors. It uses little-known poems by Scottish and Northern working-class writers to investigate how they use language and form to reflect upon the place of machinery in their working lives.
Skoumpopoulou D, Toliyat SMH, Ojra A, Shokri A & Hu S (2024) Challenges of achieving digital transformation in manufacturing firms: the case of predictive maintenance and spare part inventory management Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management. <i>Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management</i>. https://doi.org/10.1108/JMTM-04-2024-0211
See
Purpose Predictive maintenance (PdM) has attracted increasing attention in recent years owing to the emergence of advanced condition-monitoring technologies and data analytics tools. However, the application of PdM in spare parts inventory management across the Supply Chain (SC) has not been sufficiently investigated and its Digital Transformation (DT) requirements have not been adequately researched. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the organisational readiness for the use of integrated...

Social media plays an important role in expressing the thoughts and sentiments of users. Irony is a way of stating a sentiment about something by expressing the opposite of the intended literal meaning. Irony detection is a recent emerging task in low-resource languages, although other tasks related to sentiment, such as sentiment analysis and emotion detection, have been widely tackled. In this study, we investigate Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for irony detection in Turkish, a low-resource ...

See
How populations adapt to their environment is a fundamental question in biology. Yet we know surprisingly little about this process, especially for endangered species such as non-human great apes. Chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, are particularly interesting because they inhabit diverse habitats, from rainforest to woodland-savannah. Whether genetic adaptation facilitates such habitat diversity remains unknown, despite having wide implications for evolutionary biology and conservati...
