Facilitating internal motivation: Impacts of the Life Code Matrix model on working life
(2012)One of the key challenges of coaching is facilitating internal motivation in clients. The Life Code Matrix model (LCM) was designed to overcome this challenge. The research discussed in this paper aimed to evaluate the LCM ... -
Factor reduction and clustering for operational risk in software development
(Incisive Financial Publishing Limited, 2014)Software development failures frequently emerge as a result of the failure to understand and to identify risks. The aim of this paper is to identify the most salient risk factors during a software development project ... -
Factor-analysis-based Directional Distance Function: The Case of New Zealand Hospitals
(School of Economics. AUT University, 2019)This paper develops a new factor-analysis-based (FAB) approach for choosing the optimal direction in a directional distance function (DDF) analysis. It has the combined merits of factor analysis and slacks-based measure ... -
Factors contributing to IT industry success in developing countries: the case of Thailand
(Wiley Periodicals, 2005)A stream of research exists that explores a country's information technology (IT) industry success. The theoretical model used in these studies is primarily focused on small developed countries. We contend that the factors ... -
Factors systematically associated with errors in subjective estimates of software development effort: the stability of expert judgment
(IEEE Computer Society, 1999)Estimation of project development effort is most often performed by expert judgment rather than by using an empirically derived model (although such may be used by the expert to assist their decision). One question that ... -
Factors that affect software systems development project outcomes: a survey of research
(AUT UniversityAssociation for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2011)Determining the factors that have an influence on software systems development and deployment project outcomes has been the focus of extensive and ongoing research for more than 30 years. We provide here a survey of the ... -
Failed, not finished: a narrative approach to understanding venture failure stigmatization
(Elsevier, 2014)This paper implements a qualitative, narrative approach to investigate entrepreneurs' personal experience of stigma associated with venture failure. Findings draw on the lived experience of 12 entrepreneurs and tell a ... -

Falls Risk Assessment for Hospitalised Older Adults: A Combination of Motion Data and Vital Signs
(Springer, 2016)Health monitoring systems have rapidly evolved during the past two decades and have the potential to change the way healthcare is currently delivered. Currently hospital falls are a major healthcare concern worldwide because ... -
Family experiences of visitor attractions in New Zealand: differing opportunities for ‘family time’ and ‘own time’
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)Studies of family leisure and holidays reveal that an important goal of these experiences is the fostering of family togetherness and social connectedness away from usual work/life pressures. As outlined by Schänzel and ... -

(Springer, 2017)This study investigated the effect of problem gambler gender on the relationship between the gambler having dependent children (younger than 18 years) living at home and the gambler perpetrating or being a victim of family ... -
Fast decoding algorithms for coded aperture systems
(Elsevier, 2014)Fast decoding algorithms are described for a number of established coded aperture systems. The fast decoding algorithms for all these systems offer significant reductions in the number of calculations required when ... -
Fast Neural Network Ensemble Learning via Negative-Correlation Data Correction
(IEEE, 2005)This letter proposes a new negative correlation (NC) learning method that is both easy to implement and has the advantages that: 1) it requires much lesser communication overhead than the standard NC method and 2) it is ... -
Fast release of sulfosalicylic acid from polymer implants consisting of regenerated cellulose/γ-ferric oxide/polypyrrole
(2014)This work presents a comparative study on the rate of drug release from implantable matrices induced by electric and magnetic fields separately for better biomedical applications. The matrices were prepared by coating ... -
Fault Ride Through Technique for DFIG-based Wind Turbines Under Grid Three-phase Faults
(IEEE, 2018)In modern power systems with increasing penetration of wind turbines (WTs), improvement of low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability of WTs equipped with doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) is an important topic. Thus, ... -
