Coordination in Distributed Agile Software Development: A Systematic Review
(Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS), 2017)Agile methods incorporate many techniques that support coordination in co-located software development teams. However, these benefits do not necessarily transfer to a distributed context. Even though ... -
IO Vision - an Integrated System to Support the Visually Impaired
(Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS), 2017)There are many navigation systems for the visually impaired but few among them provide seamless integration of indoor -outdoor navigation. This paper reviews navigation systems that are currently ... -
Assessment of a Solar Parabolic Trough Power Plant with Grid Integration in Egypt
(Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2018)Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) is a promising technology for generating efficient renewable solar energy in countries with high Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI). Egypt as one of those countries could harness the sun’s energy ... -
Structural Deformation of Sandwich Composite Heliostats
(Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2018)The cost of heliostats has a significant influence on the cost of central tower concentrating solar power systems. To address this issue there is a need for new innovative heliostat designs that can reduce the heliostats’ ... -
The Effect of Wind on the Performance of the Three Short Natural Draft Dry Cooling Towers in an In-line Arrangement
(Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2018)Natural draft dry cooling tower (NDDCT) are a favourable choice for the cooling system of concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) plants located in arid regions with high solar radiation. However, additional cooling towers ... -
Improving Thermal Comfort Regulating Potential of a Naturally Ventilated Residential House
(Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2018)Maintaining the indoor thermal comfort characteristics of a house by modulating natural ventilation is particularly challenging, as the solution is not explicit. Determining a solution requires solving the complexity, ... -
Reclaiming Slowness in Journalism: Critique, Complexity and Difference
(Taylor and Francis, 2016)This article outlines an argument for the value of slowness in journalism. It makes an initial argument that our experiences of modernity are not singular experiences of speed and geographical dislocation but increasingly ... -
Maximizing Photovoltaic Array Energy Usage Within a House Using Model Predictive Control
(IEEE, 2017)In this study, the problems of modeling, energy dispatching and Photovoltaic (PV) array energy priorities for a grid connected residential house with PV array and battery storage using model predictive control (MPC) have ... -
Detecting Slow DDos Attacks on Mobile Devices
(Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS), 2016)Denial of service attacks, distributed denial of service attacks and reflector attacks are well known and documented events. More recently these attacks have been directed at game stations and mobile communication devices ... -
Freedom of Information - A Literature Review
(Journalism Education Association of New Zealand (JEANZ), 2015)When Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto launched the third summit of the Open Government Partnership (OGP) in October, 2015, outside the event protesters disputed the highly scripted account of his government’s transparency. ... -
Flagging Diversity: The Discursive Construction of Cultural Diversity by the Flag Consideration Panel
(Australian and New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA), 2017)The Flag Consideration Project invited New Zealanders to change the New Zealand flag, and in doing soprovided an opportunity for public discussion about what it means to belong to anation. This ... -
Ethics and Professional Orientation of Serbian Journalists
(CEON/CEES, 2017)Studies of ethical orientations of journalists, based on large-scale surveys of professional norms and values, generate data that are an important indicator of journal-ism culture. While it is true that what journalists ... -
Convective Heat Loss Investigation From a Coupled Parabolic Dish Receiver System
(Department of Mechanical Engineering, Auckland University of Technology and Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Auckland, 2017)INTRODUCTION Among all concentrating solar power (CSP) techniques, parabolic dishes are the most efficient system due to their higher concentration ratio and temperatures achieved inside the cavity receivers. Due to ... -
Impact of Tower Spacing on the Performance of Multiple Natural Draft Dry Cooling Towers Under No Wind Conditions
(Department of Mechanical Engineering, Auckland University of Technology and Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Auckland, 2017)INTRODUCTION Natural draft dry cooling towers (NDDCT) are an important part of concentrated solar power (CSP) plants in that they dictate the flow of air over the condenser. Under no wind ... -
