Improved Handshaking Procedures for Transport Layer Security in Software Defined Networks
(IEEE, 2021)Software defined networking (SDN) has emerged as a new technology to enhance the flexibility, resilience, and automated centralized management of a network. Recently several reports have identified possible vulnerabilities, ... -
Improved language modeling for English-Persian statistical machine translation
(Chinese Information Processing Society of China, 2010)As interaction between speakers of different languages continues to increase, the everpresent problem of language barriers must be overcome. For the same reason, automatic language translation (Machine Translation) has ... -
Improved snag reporting in new residential buildings in New Zealand
(The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), 2011)Snagging is common practice for new and existing buildings in the housing sector in the UK. However the snag reporting process is yet to be fully developed in New Zealand. Whilst inspections for defects and repairs are ... -
An Improved Typical Meteorological Year for Solar Energy Simulations in Rarotonga, Cook Islands
Many of the Pacific’s small island-nations have traditionally used diesel generators in the operation of their electricity grids. That said, more recently there has been a move towards greater use of renewable energy sources ... -
Improving a Credit Scoring Model by Incorporating Bank Statement Derived Features
In this paper, we investigate the extent to which features derived from bank statements provided by loan applicants, and which are not declared on an application form, can enhance a credit scoring model for a New Zealand ... -
Improving conceptual design quality by use of QFD & DFMA processes
(WDK, 1999)This paper will consider how Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) processes can be used to improve the design quality of products at the concept stage. We appreciate that both ... -
Improving Persian-English statistical machine translation: experiments in domain adaption
(CiteSeerX, 2011)This paper documents recent work carried out for PeEn-SMT, our Statistical Machine Translation system for translation between the English-Persian language pair. We give details of our previous SMT system, and present our ... -
Improving the Performance of MANET Gateway Selection Scheme for Disaster Recovery
(IEEE Computer Society, 2016)In this paper, we propose an improved MANET gateway selection scheme suitable for disaster recovery applications. Having an infrastructure less and decentralize features, MANET is well suited to bring the network back that ... -
Improving the Robustness of Thermal Models of Naturally Ventilated Buildings
(Australian PV Institute, 2017)Building Energy Simulation (BES) programs commonly employ a coupled multi-zone thermal and airflow network modelling approach to evaluate the natural ventilation in buildings. However, the robustness of such thermal-airflow ... -
Improving Thermal Comfort Regulating Potential of a Naturally Ventilated Residential House
(Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2018)Maintaining the indoor thermal comfort characteristics of a house by modulating natural ventilation is particularly challenging, as the solution is not explicit. Determining a solution requires solving the complexity, ... -
Improving WLAN performance by modifying an IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol
(IGI Global, 2011)One of the limitations of the IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF) protocol is its low bandwidth utilization under medium-to-high traffic loads resulting in low throughput and high packet delay. To overcome ... -
In Silico Pelvis and Sacroiliac Joint Motion: Refining a Model of the Human Osteoligamentous Pelvis for Assessing Physiological Load Deformation Using an Inverted Validation Approach
(Hindawi, 2019)Introduction. Computational modeling of the human pelvis using the finite elements (FE) method has become increasingly important to understand the mechanisms of load distribution under both healthy and pathologically altered ... -
Including the irregularities in the light-weight floor/ceiling model
(The Institute of the Noise Control Engineering of the USA, 2006)Chung and Fox previously presented a mathematical/computational model giving good prediction of low-frequency vibration of light-weight timber based floor/ceiling structures (LTFS) made up of: upper plate, joist beams and ... -
Increasing engineering students’ awareness to environment through innovative teaching of mathematical modelling
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2008)This article presents the results of two studies on using an innovative pedagogical strategy in teaching mathematical modelling and applications to engineering students. Both studies are dealing with introducing non-traditional ... -
Increasing Pass Rates in Introductory Mechanics Courses
(School of Engineering & Advanced Technology, Massey University, 2014)BACKGROUND Low pass rates in introductory mechanics courses are commonly observed in universities throughout Australasia and elsewhere. In the author’s experience pass rates rise when the number of assignments rises. ... -
The incremental Fourier classifier: Leveraging the discrete Fourier transform for classifying high speed data streams
(Elsevier, 2018)Two major performance bottlenecks with decision tree based classifiers in a data stream environment are the depth of the tree and the update overhead of maintaining leaf node statistics on an instance-wise basis to ensure ... -
Infinite dimensional mixed economies with asymmetric information
(Munich Personal RePEc Archive (MPRA), Munich University, 2011)In this paper, we study asymmetric information economies consisting of both non-negligible and negligible agents and having ordered Banach spaces as their commodity spaces. In answering a question of Hervés-Beloso and ... -
Influence of Moisture in the Gypsum Moulds Made by 3D Printing
(Elsevier, 2014)The process of rehydration of calcium sulphate hemihydrate (CaSO4. 0.5H2O) to the crystallization of gypsum which is chemically known as calcium sulphate dihydrate (CaSO4. 2H2O) is based on the amount of water added back. ... -
Influencing Lumbar Posture Through Real-Time Biofeedback and Its Effects on the Kinematics and Kinetics of a Repetitive Lifting Task
(Elsevier, 2019)BACKGROUND: Repetitive, flexed lumbar postures are a risk factor associated with low back injuries. Young, novice workers involved in manual handling also appear at increased risk of injury. The evidence for the effectiveness ...
