A multi-strategy approach for location mining in tweets: AUT NLP Group entry for ALTA-2014 shared task
(Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), 2014)This paper describes the strategy and the results of a location mining system used for the ALTA-2014 shared task competition. The task required the participants to identify the location mentions in 1003 Twitter test messages ... -
A multi-thread tabu search algorithm
(MCB University Press, 1999)This paper describes a novel refinement to a Tabu search algorithm that has been implemented in an attempt to improve the robustness of the search when applied to particularly complex problems. In this approach, two Tabu ... -
A multiplicative cancellation approach to multipath suppression in FM Radio
(Springer, 2014)The deceptively simple problem of a single inverted reflection in ordinary frequency modulated (FM) radio is considered. It will be shown that this problem has been overlooked in the literature and causes major breakdown ... -
A new paradigm for primary prevention strategy in people with elevated risk of stroke
(International Journal of Stroke published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of World Stroke Organization, 2014)Existing methods of primary stroke prevention are not sufficiently effective. Based on the recently developed Stroke Riskometer app, a new 'mass-elevated risk stroke/cardiovascular disease prevention' approach as an addition ... -
A novel agent-based framework in bridge-mode hypervisors of cloud security
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012)Cloud computing has been introduced as a tool for improving IT proficiency and business responsiveness for organizations as it delivers flexible hardware and software services as well as providing an array of fundamentally ... -
A novel evolving clustering algorithm with polynomial regression for chaotic time-series prediction
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009)Time-series prediction has been a very well researched topic in recent studies. Some popular approaches to this problem are the traditional statistical methods e.g. multiple linear regression and moving average, and neural ... -
A novel microarray gene selection method based on consistency
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 2006)Consistency modeling for gene selection is a new topic emerging from recent cancer bioinformatics research. The result of classification or clustering on a training set was often found very different from the same operations ... -

A pilot study of an in-vitro bovine trachea model of the effect of continuous positive airway pressure breathing on airway surface liquid
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) users frequently report troublesome symptoms of airway dryness and nasal congestion. Clinical investigations have demonstrated that supplementary humidification reduces ... -
A place to be me, a place to belong: defining fun at work in a New Zealand call-centre
(Human Resources Institute of New Zealand Inc, 2012)This paper examines the multiple meanings and differing value that employees attach to ‘fun atwork’ in a large call-centre. It utilises a phenomenological methodology to identify four components offun at work: (1) ‘doing’ ... -
