Introductory programming and educational performance indicators - a mismatch
(Computing and Information Technology Research and Education New Zealand (CITRENZ), 2014)Introductory programming courses are known worldwide to pose challenges for both students and educators. A recent meta-review of research in the area has indicated something in the order of a sixty six percent pass rate ... -
Introductory programming: examining the exams
(ACS, 2012)This paper describes a classification scheme that can be used to investigate the characteristics of introductory programming examinations. The scheme itself is described and its categories explained. We describe in detail ... -
Inverse MultiView II: Microarcsecond Trigonometric Parallaxes for Southern Hemisphere 6.7~GHz Methanol Masers G232.62+00.99 and G323.74−00.26
(IOP Publishing, 2022)We present the first results from the Southern Hemisphere Parallax Interferometric Radio Astrometry Legacy Survey (\spirals): 10μas-accurate parallaxes and proper motions for two southern hemisphere 6.7 GHz methanol masers ... -
Inverting non-minimum phase FIR transfer functions
(Scentific and Academic Publishing, 2013)The approximate solution to the inverse of a non-minimum phase finite-impulse response (FIR) transfer function is given. Such a problem arises in many areas which include room-acoustics and channel equalisation. Unlike ... -
Investigating Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy for Estimating Blood Flow-Induced Variations in Human Forearm
This work aims to investigate the feasibility of employing multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis for hemodynamic assessment. Towards this, we aim to explore one of its implementations, electrical impedance spectroscopy ... -
Investigating glazing system simulated results with real measurements
(International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA), 2011)Over the past decades there has been a great deal of research related to simulation programs that calculate glazing thermal performance. In this study, several glazing systems were designed using VISION 3 (University of ... -
Investigating the Effects of Robot-assisted Therapy Among Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Using Biomarkers
(IOP Publishing, 2017)Therapeutic pet robots designed to help humans with various medical conditions could play a vital role in physiological, psychological and social-interaction interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ... -
Investigation Into a Stepped-piston Engine Solution for Automotive Range-extender Vehicles and Hybrid Electric Vehicles to Meet Future Green Transportation Objectives
(Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 2017)Securing the objectives for future high-efficiency low-carbon-dioxide vehicles is a key target for automotive manufacturers. This paper considers a high-durability two-stroke cycle engine in terms of performance and ... -
Investigation of seal performance in a 4-α double-acting Stirling cycle heat-pump/refrigerator
(International Stirling Engine, Universita de Roma, 2001)Concerns about the environmental impact of refrigerants used in vapour-compression heatpumps and refrigerators, have prompted the Stirling-Cycle Research Group at the University of Canterbury to investigate the feasibility ... -
Investigation of several novel kinematic mechanisms for Stirling-type machines

IO Vision - an Integrated System to Support the Visually Impaired
(Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS), 2017)There are many navigation systems for the visually impaired but few among them provide seamless integration of indoor -outdoor navigation. This paper reviews navigation systems that are currently ... -
IoT, Cloud Computing and Big Data: Integrated Framework for Healthcare in Disasters
(International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) and IOS Press, 2019)Currently, healthcare in disaster management context faces a number of challenges mostly due to the lack of availability of reliable data from diverse sources required to be accessible by appropriate authorities. Therefore, ... -
ISPs - pricing internet success
(GBATA, 2003)Access to the Internet is provided by a number of commercial entities known as Internet Service Providers who constitute the Internet backbone and act as mediators between the user and the Internet. A variety of pricing ... -
