Bornologies and hyperspaces
(New Zealand Mathematical Society, 2011)A bornology on a nonempty set X is a family of subsets of X that is closed under taking finite unions, that is hereditary, and that forms a cover of X. Bornologies have been widely applied in functional analysis and topology ... -
Brain, gene, and quantum inspired computational intelligence
(Springer-Verlag, 2014)This chapter discusses opportunities and challenges for the creation of methods of computational intelligence (CI) and more specifically – artificial neural networks (ANN), inspired by principles at different levels of ... -
Building Efficient Multi-level Wireless Sensor Networks With Cluster-based Routing Protocol
(Korean Society for Internet Information, 2016)In resource constrained sensor networks, usage of efficient routing protocols can have significant impact on energy dissipation. To save energy, we propose an energy efficient routing protocol. In our approach, which ... -
Building information modeling for smart built environments
(MDPI AG, 2015)Building information modelling (BIM) provides architectural 3D visualization and a standardized way to share and exchange building information. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in using BIM, not only for ... -
Building theory on monetary retention regimes
(AUT University, 2009)The aim of this paper is to explore and recommend a rational basis for setting up a retention regime for a given project. Despite a century of practice, there is no theory to provide guidance yet. Using insights gained ... -
Business undergraduates learning online: a one semester snapshot
(IJEDICT, 2005)Online learning was first introduced into an undergraduate business programme in 1999 starting with just one single course. Currently online learning is used across the whole programme either to enhance classroom teaching ... -
California Dreamin' - inspiring innovative car design and development

Camera based face tracking for enhancing surgical teamwork training with non-verbal communication
(AUT University, 2008)In recent years, the increased use of simulation for the training of surgical skills has improved the medical curriculum and the overall patient outcome. Advances in hardware and simulation techniques have resulted in many ... -
Cascade effects of load shedding in coupled networks
(IEEE, 2013)Intricate webs of interlinked critical infrastructures such as electrical grid, telecommunication, and transportation are essential for the minimal functioning of contemporary societies and economies. Advances in Information ... -
Causes of payment delays and losses in the construction industry
(UTS ePress, 2015)Payment delays and losses persist in the construction industry and continue to be a key concern to industry practitioners. Therefore an exploration of the key causes of payment delays and losses is undertaken in this study ... -
CFD modelling of a diaphragm stirling Cryocooler
(Cryogenic Society of America, 2012)Industrial Research Ltd has developed a unique diaphragm-based pressure wave generator technology for employment in pulse tube and Stirling cryocoolers. The system uses a pair of metal diaphragms to separate the clean ... -
The Challeges in Implementing Security in Spontaneous Ad Hoc Networks
(SRI Security Research Institute, Edith Cowan University, Perth, Western Australia, 2016)Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETS) promise much in the ability to rapidly deploy a wireless network in a fashion where no prior planning is needed and the network can be running efficiently and with high security within ... -
