A data mining approach to analysing airborne wood particulate concentration and atmospheric data
(International Conference on Information Technology and Multimedia at UNITEN (ICIMu 2014), 2014)Exposure to airborne wood (hard and soft) dust can lead to a number of diseases, such as asthma, emphysema, bronchitis and upper respiratory tract cancers, lately even proven to be linked to elevated risks for chromosomal ... -
A debt behaviour model
(arXiv.org, 2014)A stochastic model with hidden discrete Markov processes is constructed to understand the behavior of debtors. -
A dynamic algorithm for reachability games on trees
(Springer, 2009)Our goal is to start the investigation of dynamic algorithms for solving games that are played on finite graphs. The dynamic game determinacy problem calls for finding efficient algorithms that decide the winner of the ... -

A flexible and reasonable mechanism for self-interested agent team forming
(IOS Press, 2008)As social entities, intelligent agents need to collaborate with others regardless of whether they are cooperative or self-interested. Compared with cooperative agents, collaborations among self-interested agents are more ... -
A framework for enhancing the social good in computing education: a values approach
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2013)This paper addresses two interrelated problems currently confronting computer science education, motivating students while simultaneously providing them with the skills they'll need to solve complex interconnected problems. ... -
A framework for identifying construction companies best practice: A panacea for corporate performance failure
(World Building Congress (WBC), 2013)This paper is a review of literature on measurements of corporate performance of construction companies in the South African construction industry and the need for improvement in performance measurements. Despite the accrued ... -
A Framework for Interpreting Bridging Anaphora
(Springer, 2012)In this paper we present a novel framework for resolving bridging anaphora.We argue that anaphora, particularly bridging anaphora, is used as a shortcut device similar to the use of compound nouns. Hence, the two natural ... -
A framework for product development
(NTNU/DTU, Technical University of Denmark, 1999)Since the introduction of Integrated Product development in 1985, industry has widely been using this model to understand and articulate their design, business and production activities. Recently, however, the picture has ... -
A framework for sub-contractor integration in alliance contracts
(AUT University, 2012)Project alliancing involves the active collaboration of construction project owners and non-owner participants (designer, contractors, and suppliers) to deliver projects in an atmosphere of shared responsibilities and ... -
A HMM POS Tagger for Micro-blogging Type Texts
(Springer Verlag, 2014)The high volume of communication via micro-blogging type messages has created an increased demand for text processing tools customised the unstructured text genre. The available text processing tools developed on structured ... -
A hybrid approach to modelling the climate change effects on Malaysia’s oil palm yield at the regional scale
(Soft Computing and Data Mining (SCDM), University Tun Hussein Onn, Malaysia, 2014)Understanding the climate change effects on local crops is vital for adapting new cultivation practices and assuring world food security. Given the volume of palm oil produced in Malaysia, climate change effects on oil ... -
A kepstrum approach to filtering, smoothing and prediction with application to speech enhancement
(The Royal Society London, 2003)A kepstrum (or complex-cepstrum) approach to minimum-phase Wiener filtering of stationary scalar processes is proposed and solved for the case of signal plus coloured noise, where the noise possibly includes a white-noise ... -
A measure of monotonicity of two random variables
(Science Publications, 2012)Problem statement: When analyzing random variables it was useful to measure the degree of their monotone dependence or compare pairs of random variables with respect to their monotonicity. Existing coefficients measure ... -
A methodology for integrating and exploiting data mining techniques in the design of data warehouses
(IEEE, 2010)Data Warehousing and Data Mining are two mature disciplines in their own right. Yet, they have developed largely separate from each other, despite the fact that techniques developed for pattern recognition such as Clustering ... -
A multi-agent cellular automaton for grapevine growth and crop simulation
(IJMLC, 2011)A multi-agent (MA) cellular automaton (CA) model framework for simulating grapevine growth and crop in Chardonnay cultivated in northern New Zealand is presented. Estimating or projecting grape crop (quantity of grapes in ... -
A multi-discipline approach linking related disciplines and stakeholder communities to develop business expertise for the new technological environment
(Australian Academic Press, 2000)Although teaching institutions are typically well behind business in adopting new technologies, an attempt is being made at the Auckland University of Technology to introduce a new field of study and a new technological ... -
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 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 ... -
