Preemptive Admission Control Mechanism for Strict QoS Guarantee to Life-Saving Emergency Traffic in Wireless LANs
(Elsevier BV, 2021)The increasing usage of distributed emergency services (e.g. natural disaster or disaster caused by humans) in wireless local area networks requires the support of immediate channel access with strict quality of service ... -
Preliminary Evaluation of Second-generation n-CPAP Machine Pilot Sleep Study Data
(Sleep Research Society, 2018)No abstract. -
Preliminary Research on Modelling and Control of Two Line Kites for Power Generation
(2017)Wind power is the second largest renewable resource from which we can obtain electricity besides hydropower. Wind farms have had significant growth in past decades; however, they require a massive investment to setup ... -
Prelude: Desiccations, the darkness of light's sweep
(AUT University, 2010)In ‘The “Mechanics of Fluids’ Irigaray closes with a dis/location of a partial exile that exiles the ruling symbolic — a feminine language that ex-ists somewhere beyond comprehension. And to which in other parts of This ... -
Preparing the Global Software Engineer
(IEEE, 2015)With a goal of preparing software engineering students for practice in today’s global settings, Uppsala University has for some years run courses involving global collaboration. The “IT in Society” course is one such ... -
Preventing Lung Damage Via Automation and Optimisation of Mechanical Ventilation for Critically Ill Patients in the Third World
(New Zealand Medical Association (NZMA), 2016)Critically-ill adult patients in the third-world can require breathing support during power outages. However, existing manual ventilation methods can lead to ventilator induced lung injury (VILI) if poorly applied.1. ... -
Previous Enrolments. Drawing as Collective Formation
(Interstices, 2009)This paper explores the proposition that architectural drawing can be analysed as a collective formation, in a sense derived from sociologist Gabriel Tarde, who wrote of collective formations like crowds that individual ... -
Pricing Variance Swaps in a Hybrid Model of Stochastic Volatility and Interest Rate With Regime-switching
(arXiv, 2016)In this paper, we consider the problem of pricing discretely-sampled variance swaps based on a hybrid model of stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rate with regime-switching. Our modeling framework extends the ... -
Pricing variance swaps in a stochastic volatility model with regime switching-discrete sampling case
(University of Adelaide/University of South Australia, 2011)This study presents a set of closed-form exact solutions for pricing discretely sampled variance swaps and volatility swaps, based on the Heston stochastic volatility model with regime switching. In comparison with all the ... -
Pricing variance swaps with stochastic volatility
(IAENG/Newswood Limited/International Association of Engineers (IAENG), 2009)Following the pricing approach proposed by Zhu & Lian (2009), we present an exact solution for pricing variance swaps with the realized variance in the payoff function being a logarithmic return of the underlying asset at ... -
Pricing volatility derivatives with stochastic volatility
(University of Wollongong, 2010)Volatility derivatives are products where the volatility is the main underlying notion. These products are particularly important for market investors as they use them to have insight into the level of volatility to ... -
Printing of Soft Stretchable Sensor From Carbon Black Composites
(MDPI, 2018)Demand for highly stretchable mechanical sensors for use in the fields of soft robotics and wearable sensors has been constantly rising. Carbon based materials as piezo-resistive material are low-cost and have been widely ... -
A Probabilistic Comparison-based Fault Diagnosis for Hybrid Faults in Mobile Networks
(Elsevier, 2020)Fault diagnosis has always been vital to providing a high level of dependability in systems. The comparison approach is one of the most prevalent diagnosis techniques that offers a simple and yet practical way to identify ... -
Procedural urban environments for FPS Games
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2016)This paper presents a novel approach to procedural generation of urban maps for First Person Shooter (FPS) games. A multi-agent evolutionary system is employed to place streets, buildings and other items inside the Unity3D ... -
Procurement of non-incremental sustainable technology innovations - the case of small entrepreneurial firms supplying New Zealand construction & building industry
(New Zealand Built Environment Research Symposium (NZBERS), 2014)Motivation Traditionally, the construction industry in New Zealand and in other countries has seen a low productivity and a low track record for successful innovations (Fairweather, 2010). The industry also lags in ... -
Procurement selection model: development of a conceptual model based on transaction costs
(UTS ePRESS, 2014)Procurement is a major improvement area and a crucial element contributing to project success, and the selection of an optimal procurement system is an important and difficult step in project execution. The criteria for ... -
"Programming in the large" and the need for professional discrimination
(ACM, 2001)A common goal in teaching capone project and software engieering type courses is to develop in students the capabilities required of a professional software developer. Unfortunately, their prior educational experiences in ... -
Progress in the development of a video-based wind farm simulation technique
(International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 1992)The progress in the development of a video-based wind farm simulation technique is reviewed. While improvements have been achieved in the quality of the composite picture created by combining computer generated animation ... -
Project management service delivery using competency analysis
(Faculty of Built Environment, Universiti Malaya, 2008)There are ongoing discussions on the competencies of construction professionals for project management service delivery in Nigeria. The current study therefore undertakes a competency analysis using related attributes of ... -
