Key Perfromance Indicators (KPI) for the implementation of lean methodologies in a manufacture-to-order small and medium enterprise
(Production and Operations Management Society (POMS), 2008)This paper presents a key performance indicator (KPI) concept for the implementation of Lean methodologies in a manufacture-to-order (MTO) small and medium enterprise (SME). Within a case study the concept is developed and ... -
A kinetic model of municipal sludge degradation during non-catalytic wet oxidation
(Elsevier, 2015)Wet oxidation is a successful process for the treatment of municipal sludge. In addition, the resulting effluent from wet oxidation is a useful carbon source for subsequent biological nutrient removal processes in wastewater ... -
Knowing the wheat from the weeds in noisy speech
(International Speech Communication Association (ISCA), 1997)This paper introduces a word boundary detection algorithm that works in a variety of noise conditions including what is commonly called the 'cocktail party' situation. The algorithm uses the direction of the signal as the ... -
A knowledge quality assessment model for clinical decision support systems
(IOS Press, 2018)Informatics researchers have developed many methods for using computers to utilize knowledge in decision making in the form of clinical decision support systems (CDSSs). These systems can enhance human decision making in ... -
Knowledge skills and abilities demanded of graduates in the new learning environment
(NACCQ, 1999)Changes in technology and employer demands require that we regularly survey our stakeholder communities to ensure the relevance and currency of what we are teaching, and the qualifications we offer to prepare our students ... -
Lack of diffuseness in wave propagation in lightweight joist-floor
(Turkish Acoustical Society, 2007)It is common to assume the wave field to be diffuse in often used simplified calculation procedures in building acoustics, such as Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) or energy flow methods. It is a well known that such ... -
Laplace transform-based theoretical foundations and experimental validation-low frequency supercapacitor circulation for efficiency improvements in linear regulators
(The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2012)Supercapacitor circulation techniques can be used to improve the end-to-end efficiency of linear regulators based on commercial low drop-out regulators (LDO). In this approach, one or more supercapacitors are used in series ... -
Latency Optimized Asynchronous Early Output Ripple Carry Adder Based on Delay-insensitive Dual-rail Data Encoding
(North Atlantic University Union (NAUN), 2017)Asynchronous circuits employing delay-insensitive codes for data representation i.e. encoding and following a 4-phase return-to-zero protocol for handshaking are generally robust. Depending upon whether a single delay-insensitive ... -

Lean methodology to reduce waste in a construction environment
(Pacific Association of Quantity Surveyors (PAQS), 2011)Productivity and waste factors are interdependent of each other. Waste is a major problem in the construction industry which amounts to 60% of the construction effort. A study focused on the construction efficiency by the ... -
Learning and teaching strategies in an intercultural context: offshore programme in Vietnam
(International Association of Technology, Education and Development (IATED), 2013)The number of New Zealand higher education institutions collaborative programmes in Asian countries is increasing. Students enrolled in offshore programmes have developed a range of learning strategies that meet the needs ... -
Lecturer Use of Pen-enabled Tablet PC Technology in the STEM Classroom: Implications for Notetaking
(Australasian Journal of Educational Technology (AJET), 2017)The pen-enabled Tablet PCs(penTPC) has been adopted by increasing numbers of lecturers teaching in mathematically intensive disciplines within the study university. This uptake has been facilitated by the device’s capability ... -
LED Lighting as Energy Management Tool through Correlation Analysis of Daily Electricity Demand and Supply Curve
(IEEE, 2016)Power industry has restructured in last decades and now it has become a commodity rather than a utility with the maximization of profit as its main purpose. Peak ripples in the electricity demand curve could disturb the ... -
Legal and Contractual Conditions: Implications on contructors' solvency
(Research Publishing Services, 2011)Often legal and contractual conditions stipulate payment terms for contracts which could impact on constructors’ solvency. Evidence from different countries suggests that legal and contractual conditions have evolved or ... -
Leveraging the Internet of Things: Integration of Sensors and Cloud Computing Systems

A Lightweight Authentication Scheme for Transport System Farecards
(IEEE, 2016)Proximity Integrated Circuit Cards (PICC) are widely used for public transport fare collection. The stored contents in the card can only be accessed or modified after the card is able to authenticate the Proximity Coupling ... -
Lightweight floor/ceiling systems with improved impact sound insulation
(The New Zealand Acoustical Society, 2010)Contrary to common belief, a relatively simple and practical lightweight timber based floor/ceiling can have impact sound insulation superior to that of concrete slab based systems. This paper presents examples of such ... -
Liquidation and its effect on construction trade creditors in New Zealand
(Emerald, 2012)Purpose – The construction industry suffers from significantly large number of insolvencies than other industries due to its inherent characteristics and these have dire consequences on project participants and the industry ... -
Local Fast R-CNN Flow for Object-centric Event Recognition in Complex Traffic Scenes
(Springer, 2017)This paper presents a solution for an integrated object-centric event recognition problem for intelligent traffic supervision. We propose a novel event-recognition framework using deep local flow in a fast regionbased ...
