Diffuse Solar Potential of Facades in an Urban Context Under Different Sky Conditions
(Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2018)This paper presents an advance in a method to evaluate the diffuse solar potential on facades in the urban environment. The proposed method is suitable to work in both the isotropic and anisotropic sky conditions. It employs ... -
Digitisation of Conventional Water Meters Using Automated Number Recognition
(IEEE, 2021)It is desired to enhance traditional mechanical water meters with automatic meter reading (AMR) in the era of Internet of Things (IoT), In this paper, we propose and implement an add-on module using optical character ... -
Digitising New Zealand wine regions: an initial investigation
(Digital Earth Summit, 2012)New Zealand’s climate and soil or the “ Terroir” along with carefully selected suitable grape varieties or the “Cultiva” that allow the varieties to only just ripe have made the country’s wine regions world famous over the ... -
Dimensions of distance learning for computer education
(ACM, 2000)In this paper, we explore what is variously termed distance learning (DL), asynchronous, online, Web-based, and Web-supported learning in terms of how it can support and perhaps even improve the fields of education involving ... -
Disaster E-Health Framework for Community Resilience
(Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), 2018)Disaster management and the health sector ought to be natural allies, but there are few examples of the collaborative planning and application of disaster healthcare involving emergency managers and care practitioners. The ... -
Disaster e-Health: A New Paradigm for Collaborative Healthcare in Disasters
(Centre for Integrated Emergency Management, the University of Agder, 2015)Disaster management and disaster medicine are well-established disciplines for responding to disasters and providing care for individuals whose health and wellbeing has been affected. However, these disciplines have different ... -
Disaster e-Health: Scoping the Field
(JMIR Publications Inc., 2020)Background: Although both disaster management and disaster medicine have been used for decades, their efficiency and effectiveness have been far from perfect. One reason could be the lack of systematic utilization of modern ... -
Disciplined design practices: a role for refactoring in software engineering?
(ACM, 2005)Reflecting upon the recent experience of teaching our undergraduate software engineering course has caused me to revisit several questions at the core of the discipline. What is the essence of software design, how should ... -
Discovering diverse association rules from multidimensional schema
(Elsevier, 2013)The integration of data mining techniques with data warehousing is gaining popularity due to the fact that both disciplines complement each other in extracting knowledge from large datasets. However, the majority of ... -
Discrimination of Two Cultivars of Alpinia Officinarum Hance Using an Electronic Nose and Gas Chromatography-mass Spectrometry Coupled With Chemometrics
(MDPI, 2019)Background: Alpinia officinarum Hance is both an herbal medicine and a condiment, and generally has different cultivars such as Zhutou galangal and Fengwo galangal. The appearance of these A. officinarum cultivars is ... -
A Distributed Machine Learning Approach for the Secondary Voltage Control of an Islanded Micro-Grid
(IEEE, 2016)Balancing the active and the reactive power in a stand-alone micro-grid is a critical task. A micro-grid without energy storage capability is even more vulnerable to stability issues. This paper investigates a distributed ... -
Distributed Machine Learning on Dynamic Power System Data Features to Improve Resiliency for the Purpose of Self-healing
Numerous online methods for post-fault restoration have been tested on different types of systems. Modern power systems are usually operated at design limits and therefore more prone to post-fault instability. However, ... -
Distributed Relational Database Performance in Cloud Computing: an Investigative Study
(AIS, 2017)Weak points in major relational database systems in a Cloud Computing environment, in which the nodes were geographically distant, are identified. The study questions whether running databases in the Cloud provides operational ... -
Distribution of vibrations of a double-leaf plate with random inhomogeneities
(2013)This paper shows how to compute vibrations of a double-leaf plate with random inhomogeneities in its components, two plates and reinforcement beams. The modelling method is based on the variational principle for elastic ... -
Distribution of vibrations of a double-leaf plate with random inhomogeneities
(University of Southampton, 2013)This paper shows how to compute vibrations of a double-leaf plate with random inhomogeneities in its components, two plates and reinforcement beams. The modelling method is based on the variational principle for elastic ... -
Do Scaling Agile Frameworks Address Global Software Development Risks? An Empirical Study
(arXiv, 2021)Driven by the need to coordinate activities of multiple agile development teams cooperating to produce a large software product, software-intensive organizations are turning to scaling agile software development frameworks. ... -
Do We Teach the Right Thing? A Comparison of Global Software Engineering Education and Practice
(IEEE, 2017)Global Software Engineering (GSE) is a reality for even the smallest companies, so software engineering students need to learn how to work in a globally distributed development context. Many approaches to teaching GSE have ... -
Doctoral work in computing education research: beyond experimental designs
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2013)No abstract. -
Documentation and agile methods: striking a balance
(ACM, 2003)I have written previously about the need for students to develop discrimination as part of their preparation for professional practice during their undergraduate capstone courses. But nowhere is this need for discrimination ... -
Don't shoot them - heal them: using game engines as a basis for surgical simulators
(Department of Computer Science, The University of Auckland, 2007)Virtual surgery training has become an essential tool in medical education. Unfortunately, commercial simulators are very expensive and mainly focus on individual training instead of teamwork. Game engines offer unique ...
