Is radical innovation a new value-adding paradigm for construction organisations or just a current fad? : a critique.
(Australasian Universities Building Education Association Conference (AUBEA), 2016-07)The Construction Industry, globally, has long been accused of low levels of productivity and innovation and arguably cannot be as readily measured using mechanisms common to other industries. Innovation is described and ... -
The Licensed Building Practitioners Scheme : four years on.
(International Association for Housing Science (IAHS), 2016-09)The Licensed Building Practitioners Scheme (LBP Scheme), restricting certain aspects of the design and construction of residential buildings in New Zealand to licensed building personnel, was a Government initiative passed ... -
A neuro-fuzzy fan speed controller for dynamic thermal management of multi-core processors
(ACM DL (Digital Library), 2014-05)Cooling equipments is a thermal management technique that reduces the thermal resistance of the heat sink without any performance degradation. However, higher fan speed produces a lower thermal resistance, but at the expense ... -
3D FPGA versus multiple FPGA system : enhanced parallelism in smaller area
(2014-01)Handling large amounts of data is being limited by bandwidth constraint between processors components and their memory counterparts. Three-dimensional integration (3D) is providing possible solution to handle such critical ... -
Keep-Out-Zone analysis for three-dimensional ICs
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-04)One of main challenges of 3D-integration is the area overhead which has two main causes: first the huge TSV diameter which is usually in the range of microns, and the second reason is the Keep-Out-Zone (KOZ) overhead due ... -
Fast Center Search Algorithm with Hardware implementation for Motion Estimation in HEVC Encoder
(2014-12)This paper presents a Fast Center Search Algorithm (FCSA) and its hardware implementation design of integer Motion Estimation for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). FCSA achieves average time saving ratio up to 40% for ... -
A Highly Parallel SAD Architecture for Motion Estimation in HEVC Encoder
(2014-11)The high computational cost of the motion estimation module in the new HEVC standard raises the need for efficient hardware architectures that can meet the real-time processing constraint. In addition, targeting HD and UHD ... -
Conceptualizing brand consumption in social media community
(Academic Conferences and Publishing International Limited, 2014-07)The emergence of social media is challenging the conceptualization of the brand. This paper develops a conceptual model of the consumption of brands in Social Media Community (SMC). The research triangulates a social media ... -
Under the Mountain - how a volcanic peak has influenced the culture, ecology and landscape history of Taranaki, New Zealand
(International Federation of Landscape Architects Asia Pacific (IFLA - Asia Pacific), 2015-09-07)Mount Taranaki/Egmont occupies a central place in the history and culture of Taranaki people – Maori and European. The mystical qualities of the volcanic mountain have influenced the culture, ecology and landscape history ... -
A design methodology for performance maintenance of 3D Network-on-Chip with multiplexed Through-Silicon Vias
(ACM DL (Digital Library), 2015-06)3D integration is an emerging technology that overcomes 2D integration process limitations. The use of short Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs) introduces a significant reduction in routing area, power consumption, and delay. ... -
A physical-aware task migration algorithm for dynamic thermal management of SMT multi-core processors
(South Asia Pacific - Design Automation Conference, 2014-01)This paper presents a task migration algorithm for dynamic thermal management of SMT multi-core processors. The unique features of this algorithm include: 1) considering SMT capability of the processors for task ... -
Evaluation of statistical text normalisation techniques for Twitter
(IC3K, 2016-11)One of the major challenges in the era of big data use is how to ‘clean’ the vast amount of data, particularly from micro-blog websites like Twitter. Twitter messages, called tweets, are commonly written in ill-forms, ... -
Analysing rain garden infiltration efficiency using MOUSE Model
(International Association For Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHRAPD), 2016-08)A MOUSE model was developed to simulate rain garden and calculate the annual stormwater runoff volume. The key parameter settings of the simulation model are strictly built on Auckland Regional Council Technical Publications ... -
Can we improve participation in university course surveys using mobile tools? : a practical experiment
(2014-12)Student course surveys provide an important feedback mechanism for universities. However the quality of this feedback depends largely on the level of participation. New technologies have enabled course surveys to evolve ... -
Evaluation of a stroke navigation service over a six month period : a mixed method approach
(2017)AIM: To assess the impact on outcomes of a stroke navigation service for stroke survivors and their families, over a six month period, in comparison to usual care. BACKGROUND: Stroke is a serious health concern and ... -
Perceptions on business strategy of small and medium-sized enterprises
(World Business Institute, 2017)The purpose of this article is to examine how the perceptions of employees could have an influence in business strategy. The problem statement and main research question is: How can employees’ perceptions influence ... -
Challenging positional authority : navigating leadership as collaboration
(New Zealand Tertiary College (NZTC), 2017)This article reflects a recent symposium presentation that explored ways positional leadership limits opportunities for members of the community of practice to contribute leading practices. As many early childhood ... -
Modelling land water composition scene for maritime traffic surveillance
(Inderscience Enterprises, 2016)Background modelling, used in many vision systems, must be robust to environmental change, yet sensitive enough to identify all moving objects of interest. Existing background modelling approaches have been developed to ... -
Sponge city : bring nature to the Chinese citiy
(2016-11)通过四个项目：二个位于新西兰奥克兰，两 个位于中国，探索了当代城市防洪的方法。 这四个项目的分析均采用业内常用的方法： 汇水区分析、GIS分析和建设模式分析。但这几种 方法的综合运用产生了独特的削减和处理雨洪的 效果。 城市导致洪水加剧已成为共识，减缓城市洪 水的方法亦广为人知。绿色屋顶、雨水花园、植 草沟、湿地等均为在城区内削减洪水的方法。 但是这些对城市本身的设计有什么影响？传 统的城市由密集的建筑和基础设施组成。新城的 ... -
