Nasal air-conditioning during breathing therapy
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2011)It has been reported that continuous positive airway pressure therapy introduces negative nasal side-effects including sneezing, itching, nasal dryness, nasal congestion and/or a runny nose. As these symptoms are suggestive ... -
Nasal air-conditioning during N-CPAP therapy
(Medical Sciences Congress, 2010)Over 40% of people who undertake n-CPAP breathing therapy report problems of rhinitis or nasal congestion despite not having these symptoms prior to treatment. Heated humidification is often used to condition inhaled air ... -
Nasal morphology and blood flow during augmented air pressure breathing therapies
(AUT University, 2011)Air delivered under augmented pressure during breathing therapy normally requires external humidification in order to avoid upper airways dryness and discomfort. Nasal heat and water flux between air and mucosa is dynamically ... -
Natural convection heat loss from a partly open cubic enclosure
(Australasian Heat and Mass Transfer Conference, 2016)Natural convection heat transfer in enclosures is an area that has particular significance to a wide range of applications. However, heat transfer from enclosures with openings to the surroundings, such as open windows in ... -
Natural convection heat loss from an open room
(Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2014)Natural convection heat transfer in enclosures is an area that has particular significance to a wide range of applications. However natural convection heat transfer from enclosures with openings to the surroundings, such ... -
Natural convection heat transfer in façade integrated solar concentrators
(Elsevier, 2015)The use of facade (wall) integrated concentrating solar collectors is an area of developing interest within the field of energy-efficient building technology. One way of achieving such a device could be through the use of ... -
Natural convection heat transfer in V-trough solar concentrators
(Springer, 2013)Abstract The use of V-trough concentrators offers a simple approach to increasing the radiation incident on a solar receiver; this is particularly useful for increasing the temperature in thermal systems. However in order ... -
The nature of embedded purchasing activities in SMEs – results from a Dutch multiple case study
(IPSERA, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Amsterdam University, 2015)Aims: identify and explain purchasing-oriented patterns in Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) via case study research. Scope: Using a conceptual framework and empirical research this article proposes a series ... -
Navigating the wilds of industrial optimisation
(School of Engineering, AUT University, 2012)The continual search for solutions that are better, faster and more efficient is second nature to all engineers. This activity is known as optimisation. But industrial optimisation problems are like the mythical beast, the ... -
A Neighbourhood-Based Trust Protocol for Secure Collaborative Routing in Wireless Mobile D2D HetNets
(LJS Publisher and IJCSIS Press, 2018)Heterogeneous Device-to-Device mobile networks are characterised by frequent network disruption and unreliability of peers delivering messages to destinations. Trust-based protocols has been widely used to mitigate the ... -
NeoMycelia: A Software Reference Architecture for Big Data Systems
(IEEE, 2021)The big data revolution began when the volume, velocity, and variety of data completely overwhelmed the systems used to store, manipulate and analyze that data. As a result, a new class of software systems emerged called ... -
A Network Selection Method for Handover in Vehicle-to-infrastructure Communications in Multi-tier Networks
(Springer Verlag, 2018)Network selection is very important for a successful handover in a multi-tier heterogeneous networks. However, the primary challenges currently faced by research community is the lack of availability of network information ... -
Neurocomputation as brain inspired informatics: methods, systems, applications
(Panhellenic Conference on Informatics, 2013)Neuromputation is concerned with methods, systems and applications inspired by the principles of information processing in the brain. The talk presents a brief overview of methods of neurocomputation, including: traditional ... -
Neurocomputing for spatio-/spectro temporal pattern recognition and early event prediction: methods, systems, applications
(Engineering Applications of Neural Networks (EANN), 2013)The talk presents a brief overview of contemporary methods for neurocomputation, including: evolving connections systems (ECOS) and evolving neuro-fuzzy systems [1]; evolving spiking neural networks (eSNN) [2-5]; evolutionary ... -
Nga iwi o Ngapuhi membership system: relationship management and relational design
(NACCQ, 2004)This paper reviews a capstone project undertaken by Auckland University of Technology (AUT) students to develop a tribal membership register for Te Runanga a Iwi o Ngapuhi. The initial scope of the project incorporated a ... -
NL-based automated software requirements elicitation and specification
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2011)This paper presents a novel approach to automate the process of software requirements elicitation and specification. The software requirements elicitation is perhaps the most important phase of software development as a ... -
Non-destructive Measurements of Toona sinensis Chlorophyll and Nitrogen Content Under Drought Stress Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)Drought is a climatic event that considerably impacts plant growth, reproduction and productivity. Toona sinensis is a tree species with high economic, edible and medicinal value, and has drought resistance. Thus, the ... -
Non-informative reparameterisations for location-scale mixtures
(Cornell University Library, 2016)While mixtures of Gaussian distributions have been studied for more than a century (Pearson, 1894), the construction of a reference Bayesian analysis of those models still remains unsolved, with a general prohibition of ... -
