A cellular automaton framework for within-field vineyard variance and grape production simulation
Shanmuganathan, S; Narayanan, A; Robison, N (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)Winegrowers for generations know it all too well that grapes harvested from different areas within a vineyard will produce wines of different flavours, mainly due to within-field variance in vine vigour caused by environmental ... -
A hybrid approach to modelling the climate change effects on Malaysia’s oil palm yield at the regional scale
Shanmuganathan, S; Narayanan, A; Mohamed, M; Ibrahim, R; Haron, K (Soft Computing and Data Mining (SCDM), University Tun Hussein Onn, Malaysia, 2014)Understanding the climate change effects on local crops is vital for adapting new cultivation practices and assuring world food security.

Climate change and grape wine quality: a GIS approach to analysing New Zealand wine region
Shanmuganathan, S; Narayanan, A; Sallis, P (InTech, 2012)The influences of seasonal climate variability on the phenological dynamics of certain terrestrial communities observed mostly since the mid‐20th century are seen as leading to unprecedented consequences (Richard, et al., ... -
Correction To: Multisource Feedback As Part of the Medical Board of Australia’s Professional Performance Framework: Outcomes From a Preliminary Study
Narayanan, A; Farmer, EA; Greco, MJ (BioMed Central, 2019)Following publication of the original article [1], the author reported that Fig. 4 was missing. This has now been corrected in the original article. -
Generating Rule-based Signatures for Detecting Polymorphic Variants Using Data Mining and Sequence Alignment Approaches
Naidu, V; Whalley, J; Narayanan, A (Scientific Research Publishing, 2018)Antiviral software systems (AVSs) have problems in identifying polymorphic variants of viruses without explicit signatures for such variants. Alignment- based techniques from bioinformatics may provide a novel way to ... -
Hierarchical Data Classification Using Deep Neural Networks
Tirimula, SS; Narayanan, A (Springer, 2015)Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are becoming an increasingly interesting, valuable and efficient machine learning paradigm with implementations in natural language processing, image recognition and hand-written character ... -
Hydrological Cycle Algorithm for Continuous Optimization Problems
Wedyan, A; Whalley, J; Narayanan, A (Hindawi, 2017)A new nature-inspired optimization algorithm called the Hydrological Cycle Algorithm (HCA) is proposed based on the continuous movement of water in nature. In the HCA, a collection of water drops passes through various ... -
A Lightweight Authentication Scheme for Transport System Farecards
Yang, ML; Narayanan, A; Parry, D; Wang, X (IEEE, 2016)Proximity Integrated Circuit Cards (PICC) are widely used for public transport fare collection. The stored contents in the card can only be accessed or modified after the card is able to authenticate the Proximity Coupling ... -
Modelling the climate change effects on Malaysia’s oil palm yield
Shanmuganathan, S; Narayanan, A (IEEE, Malaysia Chapter, 2012)An attempt to model the climate change/variability and its lagged effects on oil palm yield using a small sample set of yield data in the Malaysian context is elaborated. Literature reviewed for this work reveals the nature ... -
Modelling the effects of daily extreme weather on grapevine and wine quality
Shanmuganathan, S; Sallis, P; Narayanan, A (International Environmental Modelling and Software Society (iEMSs), 2010)Modelling the effects of climate change on vegetation and agriculture is arguably one of the most challenging issues the scientific community has to deal with in recent times. Grapevine being among the world’s old and most ... -
