Modelling climate change effects on wine quality based on expert opinions expressed in free-text format: the WEBSOM approach
(AUT University, 2009)The motivation for modelling the effects of climate change on viticulture and wine quality using both qualitative and quantitative data within an integrated analytical framework is described. The major constraints and ... -
Modelling low-frequency vibrations of lightweight timber floors
(The New Zealand Acoustical Society, 2006) -
Modelling of a falling film evaporator for dairy processes
(Institution of Chemical Engineers and Engineers Australia, 2014)The modelling of dairy processing using commercial process simulator lags behind chemical and petrochemical process simulation. This is due to fact that most commercial process simulators do not contain food (e.g. milk) ... -
Modelling of GTAW Weld Pool under Marangoni Convection
(SCENZ-IChemE, 2013)With several different fusion welding processes, the melted weld pool profile which ultimately solidifies to form the fusion zone, diverging greatly by a wide variety of factors, e.g. base material, workpiece size, machine ... -
Modelling of Large-scale Electric Vehicles Charging Demand: A New Zealand Case Study
(Elsevier, 2018)Due to increasing electric vehicles (EVs) uptakes, power system distribution network will have to accommodate the increased load level for charging EVs. Thus, the importance of a robust power system especially in the ... -
Modelling of light weight floor/ceiling structures
(The Australian Acoustical Society. The New Zealand Acoustical Society., 2006)This talk presents a mathematical model of light weight timber floor/ceiling structures. The structures studied here consist of three basic components, upper plate, joist beams and ceiling. The shape of the whole structure ... -
Modelling peri-perceptual brain processes in a deep learning spiking neural network architecture
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2018)Familiarity of marketing stimuli may affect consumer behaviour at a peri-perceptual processing level. The current study introduces a method for deep learning of electroencephalogram (EEG) data using a spiking neural network ... -
Modelling Relationships Between Jump Height, Ground Contact Time, Reactivity and Stiffness
(The Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, 2012)No abstract. -
Modelling software processes - a focus on objectives
(ACM Press, 2009)Existing software process models such as Waterfall and XP are characterised by unstated assumptions, a consequence of which is that we can not easily compare models or transfer data from one model to another. This means ... -
Modelling the climate change effects on Malaysia’s oil palm yield
(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 effect of genes on the dynamics of probabilistic spiking neural networks for computational neurogenetic modelling
(AUT University, 2011)Computational neuro-genetic models (CNGM) combine two dynamic models – a gene regulatory network (GRN) model at a lower level, and a spiking neural network (SNN) model at a higher level to model the dynamic interaction ... -
Modelling the Effects of Booster Dose Vaccination Schedules and Recommendations for Public Health Immunization Programs: The Case of Haemophilus Influenzae Serotype B
(BioMed Central, 2017)Background Haemophilus influenzae serotype b (Hib) has yet to be eliminated despite the implementation of routine infant immunization programs. There is no consensus regarding the number of primary vaccine doses and an ... -
Modelling the effects of daily extreme weather on grapevine and wine quality
(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 ... -
Modelling the Key Drivers of an Aerial Phytophthora Foliar Disease Epidemic, From the Needles to the Whole Plant
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2019)Understanding the epidemiology of infectious diseases in a host population is a major challenge in forestry. Radiata pine plantations in New Zealand are impacted by a foliar disease, red needle cast (RNC), caused by ... -
Modelling the performance of a Diffusion Absorption Refrigeration System
(Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2014)The diffusion absorption refrigeration cycle was first identified nearly a century ago but until relatively recently its application had been limited to niche cooling applications such as camping refrigerators. The diffusion ... -
Modelling the seasonal climate variability and its effects on vintage wines from Marlborough, NZ
(IEEE, 2011)The paper presents some interim results from an ongoing research on the application of data/text mining methodologies being investigated to modelling the seasonal climate variability and its effects on the world famous ... -
Moderating Effects of Socio-cultural Values on Pro-environmental Behaviors
(Emerald, 2020)This paper aims to explain the discrepancy between pro-environmental intentions and behaviors with moderating effects of two socio-cultural values (espoused individualism and faith in others) on the link between intentions ... -
Modern colonialism: dialogues with Sefita Hao’uli, Kalafi Moala, and Melino Maka
(Te Ara Poutama, Auckland University of Technology, 2013)For this second article in a series of four stimulated by conversations about present day Tonga, Sefita Hao’uli, Kalafi Moala, and Melino Maka discuss whether there is a Tongan frame or explanation for development. And ... -
Modifiable Risk Factors for Overweight and Obesity in Children and Adolescents From São Paulo, Brazil
(BioMed Central, 2011)Background Brazil is currently experiencing a nutrition transition: the displacement of traditional diets with foods high in saturated fat, sodium, and cholesterol and an increase in sedentary lifestyles. Despite these ... -
