Managing Requirements Change the Informal Way! When Saying 'No' Is Not an Option
(IEEE, 2016)Software has always been considered as malleable. Changes to software requirements are inevitable during the development process. Despite many software engineering advances over several decades, requirements changes are a ... -
Managing Super Diverse Women Entrepreneurs in Aotearoa New Zealand
(Academic Conferences and Publishing International Limited, 2016)New Zealand, like other countries, is becoming an increasingly multicultural society. Diversity of New Zealand has rapidly increased in the last ten years with 34 percent of the current population being Maori, Asian and ... -
Managing the risks associated with scope changes in Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contracts
(The Association of Schools of Construction of Southern Africa (ASOCSA), 2009)Purpose This study’s objective was to determine if prior definition of scope changes within contract clauses would be an effective form of risk management on GMP projects. Design The study evaluates a typical project ... -
Mapping and localisation with sparse range data
(AUT University, 2006)We present an approach for indoor mapping and localization with a mobile robot using sparse range data, without the need for solving the SLAM problem. The paper consists of two main parts. First, a split and merge based ... -
Mapping, learning and mining of spatiotemporal brain data with 3D evolving spiking neurogenetic models
(The Neuromorphic Cognitive Systems group, at the Institute of Neuroinformatics, University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, 2012)Spatio- and spectro-temporal data are the most common data in many domain areas, including bioinformatics and neuroinformatics. Still there are no sufficient methods to model such data and to discover complex spatio-temporal ... -
Markov Chain properties in terms of column sums of the transition matrix
(Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Tartu, 2012)Questions are posed regarding the influence that the column sums of the transition probabilities of a stochastic matrix (with row sums all one) have on the stationary distribution, the mean first passage times and the ... -
Markov chain properties in terms of column sums of the transition matrix
(Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, 2011)Questions are posed regarding the influence that the column sums of the transition probabilities of a stochastic matrix (with row sums all one) have on the stationary distribution, the mean first passage times and the ... -
Marx after Heidegger
(RMIT University, School of Art, 2013)In the ten years between the publication of The Savage Anomaly (1981/1991b) and Insurgencies (1992/1999), the Italian political philosopher Antonio Negri substantially defined a contemporary theory of power and the State ... -
Mass-redistribution-induced crustal deformation of global satellite laser ranging stations due to non-tidal ocean and land water circulation
(TerraPub, 2006)The effect of the non-tidal ocean load (NTOL) and the continental water load (CWL) on crustal deformation are calculated for global satellite laser ranging (SLR) stations and on 4!×4! grids (only over the land). For the ... -
Mathematical modeling of a solar powered humidification dehumidification desalination prototype
(Solar 2014 Conference & Expo, 2014)In recent times the issue of fresh water shortages and salinity contamination of existing water sources has become a serious problem in a number of locations around the world. Hence, developing an environmentally friendly ... -

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 ... -
Maximum Utilization of Dynamic Rating Operated Distribution Transformer (DRoDT) with Battery Energy Storage System: Analysis on Impact from Battery Electric Vehicles Charging
(MDPI AG, 2020)This paper investigates thermal overloading, voltage dips and insulation failure across a distribution transformer (DT), under residential and battery electric vehicle (BEV) loadings. The objective of this paper is to ... -
Māori-language Newspapers 1842-1945: A Survey, With a Focus on the Expression of Oral Tikanga on the Page
This paper canvasses Māori-language print media from the first monolingual newspaper in te reo Māori (the Māori language) in 1842 to what is believed to be the last, in 1945. It sets the publications in their social contexts ... -
Measuring cascade effects in interdependent networks by using effective graph resistance
(IEEE, 2015)Understanding the correlation between the underlie network structure and overlay cascade effects in the interdependent networks is one of major challenges in complex network studies. There are some existing metrics that ... -
Measuring monotony in two-dimensional samples
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)The paper introduces a monotony coefficient as a new measure of the monotone dependence in a two-dimensional sample. Some properties of this measure are derived. In particular, it is shown that the absolute value of the ... -
Measuring strategic performance in construction companies: a proposed integrated model
(Emerald, 2015)Purpose – This paper aims to examine and compare a performance measurement system and performance frameworks commonly used within the construction industry. The paper explores the strengths and weaknesses of balanced ... -
