Contribution of Warkworth 12m VLBI radio telescope to New Zealand geodesy
(The Geoscience Society of New Zealand, 2011)The Institute for Radio Astronomy and Space Research (IRASR) of Auckland University of Technology (AUT) launched the New Zealand's first and only research capable radio telescope (WARK12M) near Warkworth which is located ... -
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 ... -
Conversing at Many Layers: Implementing Multi-layer On-chip Protocol Converters
(2015)The numerous intellectual property blocks of a system-on-a-chip must be integrated so that they can meet system-specific requirements. However, such integration is not guaranteed due to mismatches between IP protocols. ... -
Conversion of New Zealand's 30m telecommunication antenna into a radio telescope
(Astronomical Society of Australia, 2014)We describe our approach to the conversion of a former 100-foot (30-m) telecommunication antenna in New Zealand into a radio telescope. We provide the specifications of the Earth Station and identify the priorities for the ... -
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 ... -
Correlation of nasal morphology to air-conditioning and clearance function
(Elsevier, 2011)Nasal morphology plays an important functional role in the maintenance of upper airway health. Identification of functional regions, based on morphological attributes, assists in correlating location to primary purpose. ... -
Counter currents: Whare Nui and Fale abroad
(University of Melbourne, 2009)Since the 1860s, several Māori whare nui (meeting houses) and Samoan fale (houses) travelled overseas. Their fates are diverse: Mataatua, misappropriated and sent to overseas exhibitions under sometimes scandalous curatorial ... -

Counter-examples in teaching/learning of calculus: students’ performance
(2005)This paper presents a case study which involved the first year science and engineering students of the Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand. After very favourable feedback received from the students in the ... -
Counting the number of minimal paths in weighted coloured-edge graphs
(arXiv, Cornell University, 2011)A weighted coloured-edge graph is a graph for which each edge is assigned both a positive weight and a discrete colour, and can be used to model transportation and computer networks in which there are multiple transportation ... -
Course Keeping Control of Boeing 747 by using a Minimum-order Observer State Controller
(Institute of Research Engineers and Doctors (IRED), 2018)In this paper, a state space mathematical model of the Boeing 747 was defined, particularly for the lateral aircraft motions. A dynamical behavior of the model has been analized through numerical and graph-analytical ... -
A Cox-based Risk Prediction Model for Early Detection of Cardiovascular Disease: Identification of Key Risk Factors for the Development of a 10-year CVD Risk Prediction
(Hindawi Limited, 2019)Background and Objective. Current cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk models are typically based on traditional laboratory-based predictors. The objective of this research was to identify key risk factors that affect the CVD ... -
Creating Creative Technologists: playing with(in) education
(Springer, 2015)Since the industrial revolution, the organization of knowledge into distinct scientific, technical or creative categories has resulted in educational systems designed to produce and validate particular occupations. The ... -
Creating Creatures: Dumont and the metaphysics of evil
(Film-Philosophy, 2011)Since the late 1990s Bruno Dumont has produced six feature films, approximately one every three years. His cinema has been highly praised and is recognized by Martine Beugnet, in Cinema and Sensation, as exemplary of a new ... -
Crustal deformations associated with the great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake deduced from continuous GPS observation
(TerraPub, 2006)We analyzed continuous GPS data from more than 20 sites in Asia, Australia and islands in Indian Ocean in order to detect crustal deformations associated with the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake of December 26, 2004. Coseismic ... -
Cucker-smale Flocking Under Asynchronous Update Dynamics
(IEEE, 2017)The effects of asynchronous updating of the state of the agents in a Cucker-Smale flocking model is considered in this paper. The study of asynchronous update is important because in practical implementations the agents ... -
Cultural relevance in sustainable product design and development
(Hong Kong Design Centre, 2010)This paper details a culture-centric approach to shift design thinking and practices away from the ongoing unsustainable production of goods and services, that are unfit for the human conditions in poor countries and the ... -
Currency security and forensics: a survey
(Springer, 2013)By its definition, the word currency refers to an agreed medium for exchange, a nation’s currency is the formal medium enforced by the elected governing entity. Throughout history, issuers have faced one common threat: ...
