Orthogonal projection in teaching regression and financial mathematics
(ASA Publications, 2010)Two improvements in teaching linear regression are suggested. The first is to include the population regression model at the beginning of the topic. The second is to use a geometric approach: to interpret the regression ... -
Oscillation Revisited
(arXiv, 2016)In previous work by Beer and Levi [8, 9], the authors studied the oscillation Ω(f, A) of a function f between metric spaces hX, di and hY, ρi at a nonempty subset A of X, defined so that when A = {x}, we get Ω(f, {x}) ... -
Our next generation of robotics researchers? Teaching robotics at primary school level
(AUT University, 2009)In this paper, we present our experience in designing and teaching of our first robotics course for students at primary school level. The course was carried out over a comparatively short period of time, namely 6 weeks, 2 ... -
Out of Character: Reiterating an Island’s Imaginaries in the Face of a Changing Identity
Island imaginary describes the unspoken or undocumented fabric that weaves together the operations within an island. Yet, these imaginaries are sometimes perceived as intangible and often misunderstood by non-islanders, ... -
An Overview of Applications and Advancements in Automatic Sound Recognition
(Elsevier, 2016)Automatic sound recognition (ASR) has attracted increased and wide ranging interests in recent years. In this paper, we carry out a review of some important contributions in ASR techniques, mainly over the last one and a ... -
Overview of V.A. Plotnikov’s research on averaging of differential inclusions
(Elsevier, 2012)In this review, we will first look in detail at Plotnikov’s results on the substantiation of full and partial schemes of averaging of differential inclusions of the standard form on finite and infinite intervals. Then we ... -
Overview of wind parameters sensing methods and framework of a novel MCSPV recombination sensing method for wind turbines
(MDPI AG, 2018)The paper presents an overview of the traditional methods to obtain wind parameters such as wind speed, wind direction and air density. After analyzing wind turbines’ arrangements and communication characteristics and the ... -
Paradoxes and counterexamples in teaching and learning of probability at university
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)This article is devoted to practical aspects of teaching and learning of probability at university. It presents the difficulties and attitudes of first-year university science and engineering students towards using paradoxes ... -
Parametric Electrical Modelling of Human Forearm Simulation Response Using Multi-frequency Electrical Bioimpedance
(OMICS International, 2016)This work presents a parametric electrical modelling of the electrical response of human forearm tissues through a simulation of Multi-frequency Electrical Bioimpedance analysis (MF-EBIA). The objective is to estimate an ... -
Parametric Loop Division for 3D Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks
(MDPI AG, 2017)Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has been an active topic for more than two decades. A variety of algorithms were proposed to improve the localization accuracy. However, they are either limited to two-dimensional ... -
PBRF 2012 and the nature of degree teaching
(Computing and Information Technology Research and Education New Zealand (CITRENZ), 2012)For the Performance Based Research Funding Exercise of 2012, two principles for eligibility were enunciated by the New Zealand Tertiary Education Commission, whereby those submitted were firstly expected to contribute to ... -
PBRF 2012 outcomes: a CITRENZ perspective
(Computing and Information Technology Research and Education New Zealand (CITRENZ), 2013)For computing educators in the CITRENZ sector, the 2012 Performance Based Research Assessment took place in a setting that had changed considerably from that which applied for the 2006 round. CITRENZ is a new organization ... -
Percentage problems in bridging courses
(Taylor and Francis, 2012)Research on teaching high school mathematics shows that the topic of percentages often causes learning difficulties. This article describes a method of teaching percentages that the authors used in university bridging ... -
Performance analysis of cooperative Virtual MIMO Systems for wireless sensor networks
(MDPI, 2013)Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) techniques can be used to increase the data rate for a given bit error rate (BER) and transmission power. Due to the small form factor, energy and processing constraints of wireless sensor ... -
Performance of a building integrated collector for solar heating and radiant cooling
(Australian Solar Energy Society Ltd, 2011)Due to their limited temperature range, unglazed solar collectors have long been relegated to providing low cost heating in applications such as swimming pool heating systems. This limited temperature range is due to heat ... -
Performance of a Building Integrated Photovoltaic/Thermal Concentrator for Facade Applications
(Elsevier, 2017)The use of building integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPVT) concentrators is an effective way to harness solar energy within the built environment, particularly for façade applications. However, in order to precisely predict ... -
Performance of a Cooling System Driven by Engine Exhaust Heat
(International Institute of Refrigeration, 2016)The use of stationary generators for electricity generation is widespread in areas where access to power distribution networks is limited, including rural areas and in developing countries. Often, a significant portion of ... -
Performance of a V-trough photovoltaic/thermal concentrator
(Elsevier, 2014)The idea of concentrating solar energy to increase the output of photovoltaic and solar thermal collectors is an area that has received significant attention. In this study, a design model for a V-trough concentrating ... -
Performance of an unglazed solar collector for radiant cooling
(The University of Melbourne, 2013)Under night conditions, when there is no solar radiation and the sky temperature is low, unglazed solar collectors can radiate heat to the sky thus cooling a storage tank to provide cooling the following day. This study ... -
Performance Study of Block ACK and Reverse Direction in IEEE 802.11n Using a Markov Chain Model
