Camera based face tracking for enhancing surgical teamwork training with non-verbal communication
(AUT University, 2008)In recent years, the increased use of simulation for the training of surgical skills has improved the medical curriculum and the overall patient outcome. Advances in hardware and simulation techniques have resulted in many ... -
Cascade effects of load shedding in coupled networks
(IEEE, 2013)Intricate webs of interlinked critical infrastructures such as electrical grid, telecommunication, and transportation are essential for the minimal functioning of contemporary societies and economies. Advances in Information ... -
Causes of payment delays and losses in the construction industry
(UTS ePress, 2015)Payment delays and losses persist in the construction industry and continue to be a key concern to industry practitioners. Therefore an exploration of the key causes of payment delays and losses is undertaken in this study ... -
CFD modelling of a diaphragm stirling Cryocooler
(Cryogenic Society of America, 2012)Industrial Research Ltd has developed a unique diaphragm-based pressure wave generator technology for employment in pulse tube and Stirling cryocoolers. The system uses a pair of metal diaphragms to separate the clean ... -
The Challeges in Implementing Security in Spontaneous Ad Hoc Networks
(SRI Security Research Institute, Edith Cowan University, Perth, Western Australia, 2016)Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETS) promise much in the ability to rapidly deploy a wireless network in a fashion where no prior planning is needed and the network can be running efficiently and with high security within ... -
Challenges and Recommendations for the Design and Conduct of Global Software Engineering Courses: A Systematic Review
(LERO, The Irish Sofware Research Centre, 2015)This SLR we are conducting traverses the many options available to Computer Science (CS) educators teaching CS courses involving global collaboration. The challenges and solutions in conducting global software engineering ... -
Challenges and recommendations for the design and conduct of Global Software Engineering courses: a systematic review
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2015)Context: Global Software Engineering (GSE) has become the predominant form of software development for global companies and has given rise to a demand for students trained in GSE. In response, universities are developing ... -
Challenges in anaphora resolution in the news media genre
(2007)This paper discusses the characteristics of anaphora found in written News Media genre and describes an initial implementation of an algorithm to resolve the anaphors. The paper forms part of wider research aimed at using ... -
Characterising the Heat and Mass Transfer Coefficients for a Crossflow Interaction of Air and Water
(Elsevier, 2017)An experimental study was performed in order to characterise the heat and mass transfer processes, where an air stream passes through a sheet of falling water in a crossflow configuration. To achieve this, the hydrodynamics ... -
Characterization of low-temperature bulk micromachining of silicon using an SF6/O2 inductively coupled plasma
(IOP Publishing, 2012)The principal aim of this work was to characterize deep silicon etching at sample temperatures well-below room temperature, using SF6/O2 inductively coupled plasma (ICP) for micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) applications. ... -
Chemometrics and Hyperspectral Imaging Applied to Assessment of Chemical, Textural and Structural Characteristics of Meat
(Elsevier, 2018)Spectroscopy in the visible near-infrared spectral (Vis-NIRS) range combined with imaging techniques (hyperspectral imaging, HSI) allows assessment of chemical composition, texture, and meat structure. The use of HSI in ... -
Classes to Passes: Is Class Attendance a Determinant of Grades in Undergraduate Engineering Subjects?
(Southern Cross University, 2016)CONTEXT The rapid advancement in information technologies in recent times has opened a number of opportunities to the higher education sector. This has led to a revision of the traditional educational paradigm through ... -
Classification and Segmentation of fMRI Spatio-temporal Brain Data With a Neucube Evolving Spiking Neural Network Model
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014)The proposed feasibility analysis introduces a new methodology for modelling and understanding functional Magnetic Resonance Image (fMRI) data recorded during human cognitive activity. This constitutes a type of Spatio-Temporal ... -
Client value in procured construction services: New Zealand participants' perspective
(New Zealand Built Environment Research, 2014)Motivation: Due to the lack of a practical evaluation method to assist clients with measuring value in construction services when hiring service providers, there is greater emphasis on price rather than clients’ values. ... -
Clients and their professional advisers’ role in construction materials purchasing functions
(Emerald, 2012)The material purchasing function is the central factor to minimise the overall cost of a building construction project as it contributes to approximately half of the final construction cost. Contractors, subcontractors, ... -
Climate and terroir of New Zealand wine regions: a GIS perspective
(The New Zealand Cartographic Society (NZCS), 2012)Climate and 'terroir' are the two major commonly used set of factors when describing a wine region apart from those relating to 'Cultiva' or variety. The latter is given the utmost consideration during site selection and ... -
Climate change and grape wine quality: a GIS approach to analysing New Zealand wine region
(InTech, 2012)The influences of seasonal climate variability on the phenological dynamics of certain terrestrial communities observed mostly since the mid‐20th century are seen as leading to unprecedented consequences (Richard, et al., ... -
