On aspects of glasses-free 3D cinema 70 years ago
(Veritas et Visus, 2013)In the following pages attention focuses on four exemplar strands of pioneering research carried out in the first half of the twentieth century in designing and implementing glasses-free (autostereoscopic) 3D cinema. For ... -
On complexity of Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé games
(Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 2007)In this paper we initiate the study of Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé games for some standard finite structures. Examples of such standard structures are equivalence relations, trees, unary relation structures, Boolean algebras, and ... -
On secure workflow decentralisation on the internet
(Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica, 2010)Decentralised workflow management systems are a new research area, where most work to-date has focused on the system's overall architecture. As little attention has been given to the security aspects in such systems, we ... -
On the apparent narrowing of radio recombination lines at high principal quantum numbers
(IOPScience, 2011)We critically analyze the Bell et al. findings on "anomalous" widths of high-order Hydrogen radio recombination lines in the Orion Nebula at 6 GHz. We review their method of modified frequency switching and show that the ... -
On the core and Walrasian expectations equilibrium in infinite dimensional commodity spaces
(Munich Personal RePEc Archive (MPRA), Munich University, 2011)In this paper, we establish two different characterizations of Walrasian expectations allocations by the veto power of the grand coalition in an asymmetric information economy having finitely many agents and states of ... -
On the nature of security
(AUT University, 2008)In his On Adam’s House in Paradise, Joseph Rykwert traces successive engagements in the question of the origin of architecture as this question opens to the more primordial one of the origin of being human. Being human and ... -
On the necessity of removing 'cruelty' from the teaching of computing
(ACM, 2006)In his famous article [1] Edsger Dijkstra reflected upon how cruel it would be truly to teach computer science. For some reason the CS community over the years have taken the sadistic element of his entreaties to heart. ... -
On two desiderata for creativity support tools
(Department of Informatics Engineering, University of Coimbra, 2010)This paper discusses two important desiderata for developing creativity support tools, namely ideation and empowerment. We then use them to guide us in designing a new individual creativity support tool codenamed Creative-Pad. ... -
One Pass Concept Change Detection for Data Streams
(Springer Verlag, 2013)In this research we present a novel approach to the concept change detection problem. Change detection is a fundamental issue with data stream mining as models generated need to be updated when significant changes in the ... -
Ontologies and machine learning systems
(Springer, 2014)In this chapter we review the uses of ontologies within bioinformatics and neuroinformatics and the various attempts to combine machine learning (ML) and ontologies, and the uses of data mining ontologies. This is a diverse ... -
Open source software – a key component of E-health in Developing nations
(IGI Global, 2008)The global burden of disease falls most heavily on people in developing countries. Few resources for healthcare, geographical and infrastructure issues, lack of trained staff, language and cultural diversity and political ... -
Operational analysis of dynamic line ratings
(IOP Publishing, 2018)Overhead line is an important asset for power industries. Rising demand in electricity, environmental concerns and cheaper electricity prices are some important factors behind operating the lines at their maximum potential. ... -
Optical characteristics of low concentration ratio solar collectors for façade applications
(Massey Printery, 2013)This work shows that there is significant scope for the development of static solar concentrators to be integrated into the façade of buildings. It has shown that solar concentrators using parabolic reflectors may be well ... -
Optical investigation of the heat transfer from a rotating cylinder in a cross flow
(Springer, 2004)The heat transfer from a rotating cylinder in an air-cross flow was investigated by purely optical measuring techniques. Flow velocities were measured by a two-dimensional LDV both in the vicinity of the cylinder and in ... -
Optical Properties of Low Concentration Ratio Façade Integrated Solar Collectors
(Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2015)The optical properties of façade integrated solar collectors are largely dependent on the location and the direction that they are deployed at. The amount of radiation on the absorber plate will change with the time of the ... -
Optimal sizing of a wind-photovoltaic-battery hybrid renewable energy system considering socio-demographic factors
(Elsevier, 2016)The sizing of a stand-alone wind-photovoltaic-battery hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) is greatly influenced by socio-demographic factors however, few studies have examined how socio-demographic factors, as borne out ... -
Optimisation and comparison framework for monocular camera-based face tracking
(IEEE, 2009)Tracking the position and orientation of the human face with respect to a camera has valuable applications in human computer interaction (HCI). Examples are navigating through a virtual environment, controlling objects ... -
Optimised X-HYBRIDJOIN for near-real-time data warehousing
(Australian Computer Society, 2012)Stream-based join algorithms are needed in modern near-real-time data warehouses. A particular class of stream-based join algorithms, with MESHJOIN as a typical example, computes the join between a stream and a disk-based ...
