Salient Elements in Novice Solutions to Code Writing Problems
(Australian Computer Society, 2011)This paper presents an approach to the evaluation of novice programmers' solutions to code writing problems. The first step was the development a framework comprised of the salient elements, or programming constructs, used ... -
Sampling the error: research into underrepresented groups in computing
(ICER 2011, 2011)There has been considerable handwringing over time about the unbalanced proportions of women and ‘minority’ students in computing courses. Unfortunately CS Education researchers do not find themselves in a strong position ... -
Saudi Academic Perceptions of e-Learning Systems [Microsoft Excel workbook]
(2019)The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has seen growing interest in the uptake of cloud-based educational technologies in the university sector in recent years. The majority of delivery models are currently structured on a client-server ... -
Scaffolding, the Zone of Proximal Development, and Novice Programmers
(CITRENZ, 2015)The work, which is part of a doctoral research project, reported here aims to explore the learning strategies that novice computer programmers adopt when writing code, the ways in which they integrate knowledge, and the ... -
Scattering of daily solutions of the GEONET GPS site ellipsoidal height and baseline length changes
(Geodetic Society of Japan, 2001)We investigated scattering of the GPS site coor dinates and baseline length changes using daily GEONET solutions. We first calculated baseline length changes from the daily coordinates, and then calculated their standard ... -
Science as a service: understanding successful knowledge transfer in a New Zealand research institute
(IOS Press, 2012)This paper reports on an exercise conducted within a state-owned body (Crown Research Institute) in New Zealand aimed at building greater understanding of the key factors in successful research programmes. Success was ... -
A Secure and Authenticated Key Management Protocol (SA-KMP) for Vehicular Networks
(IEEE, 2016)Public key infrastructure (PKI) is the most widely used security mechanism for securing communications over the network. However, there are known performance issues, making it unsuitable for use in vehicular networks. In ... -
Securing best prices for construction materials: an exploratory study of the New Zealand construction industry
(World Business Institute (WBI), 2012)Maintaining an efficient and effective material purchasing system as well as purchasing materials at the right price, quality and time are essential for contractors to remain competitive in today’s environment. Construction ... -
Self-organising map methods in integrated modelling of environmental and economic systems
(AUT University; The Australian National University, 2003)The need for better techniques, tools and practices to analyse ecological and economic systems in an integrated framework has never been so great. Self-organising map 1 (SOM) methods are utilised for this purpose with two ... -
Self-organising roles in agile globally distributed teams
(RMIT University, 2013)The ability to self-organise is posited to be a fundamental requirement for successful agile teams. In particular, self-organising teams are said to be crucial in agile globally distributed software development (AGSD) ... -
Sensing instrumentation for micro-environment data management
(AUT University, 2011)This presentation describes an international research collaboration relating to micro-environment data monitoring and modelling for applications in agriculture. The particular area of agriculture in focus at this time is ... -
Sentiment Lexicon Construction Using SentiWordNet 3.0
(IEEE, 2015)Opinion mining and sentiment analysis have become popular in linguistic resource rich languages. Opinions for such analysis are drawn from many forms of freely available online/electronic sources, such as websites, blogs, ... -
Shaping and Delivering Tomorrow’s Sustainable Municipal Solid Waste Management System: Proposal for a Structured Data Management Infrastructure
(Inderscience, 2019)The monitoring and collection of municipal solid waste (MSW) data have been a daunting task. The development of a digital mapping, data collection, and data reporting system, allows for ease of data management and creation ... -
Short term position variation due to the atmospheric loading near semi-closed sea
(Japan Geoscience Union, 2007)No abstract -
The Significance of Powder Breakdown During Conveying Within Industrial Milk Powder Plants
(Elsevier, 2016)Instant whole milk powder (IWMP) is designed to rapidly dissolve in water, which depends on the particle size distribution (PSD). The fragile milk powder exiting the dryer has to be conveyed for packing, which can break ... -
Significance of powder breakdown during in-plant transport at industrial milk powder plants
(Asia Pacific Confederation of Chemical Engineering (APCChe), 2015)Instant whole milk powder (IWMP) is designed to rapidly dissolve in water, which depends on the particle size distribution (PSD) and agglomeration. The warm and delicate milk powder exiting the dryer is transported via ... -
A simple distributed channel allocation algorithm for D2D communication pairs
(IEEE, 2018)Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a promising technology due to its advantages of high spectrum efficiency, low energy consumption, and enhanced system capacity. In D2D communications, the channel allocation plays a ... -
Simulating vibrations of a double-leaf plate with uncertainties in material properties and interaction between components
(International Congress on Vibration and Sound (ICVS), 2012)Modelling the vibration of composite structures requires including the effects of uncertain material properties of individual components at mid-frequency. The purpose of this model is to predict the vibration of double-leaf ... -
Simulation of bridge construction works: an exploratory study in New Zealand
(Isec Press, 2014)Bridge construction projects are associated with uncertainties partly due to sequencing issues, logistics, interactions, and resource constraints. Their construction is mostly cyclic and repetitive, yet complex, requiring ...
