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 ... -
5D BIM in a consulting quantity surveying environment
(Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (MoBIE), 2014)BIM is triggering a revolution in the construction industry, and the concept known as 5D BIM, which ultimately is concerned with a cost dimension being added to objects contained within the BIM model, has the potential to ... -
Acoustic features of dysphonic speech vs normal speech in New Zealand English speakers
(Computing and Information Technology Research and Education New Zealand (CITRENZ), 2021-07)This poster presents the acoustic features of distorted speech in three dysphonic New Zealanders compared to three healthy individuals as the control group. There are a total of six subjects in this study. Voice onset time ... -
Action and Re action: home grown timber and imported prefabricated housing.
(2009)One thousand prefabricated buildings were imported in a systematic manner by the New Zealand Government from Europe and erected in the Titahi Bay area of Wellington and the Tamaki area of Auckland NZ. These kitset buildings, ... -
Adaptive active control of free space acoustic noise
(Published by the Acoustical Society of America through the American Institute of Physics, 2013)This paper concerns adaptive active control of acoustic noise in free space. Conventional adaptive active noise control algorithms are efficient in acoustic ducts or headphones; however, they are very sensitive when being ... -
Adaptive background modeling for land and water composition scenes
(International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing (ICIAP), 2015-09)In the context of maritime boat ramps surveillance, this paper proposes an Adaptive Background Modeling method for Land and Water composition scenes (ABM-lw) to interpret the traffic of boats passing across boat ramps. We ... -
Adaptive document image skew estimation
(International Association of Engineers (IAENG), 2017-03)The skew of the scanned document image is inevitable, and its correction improves the performance of document recognition systems. Skew specifies the text lines deviation from the horizontal or vertical axes. To date, skew ... -
Adaptive reuse and re purposing of industrial buildings to residential dwellings in Auckland City
(State of Australian Cities (SOAC 2017), 2017-11)The conversion of former industrial buildings and identifying heritage as a commodity has become a pervasive trend, especially over the last decade. Adaptive re-use of old industrial buildings is often seen as an alternative ... -
Adaptive reuse and repurposing of industrial buildings to residential dwellings in Auckland City
(Analysis & Policy Observatory (APO), 2018-06-18)Auckland is currently facing a housing crisis in which demand for living space has exceeded what is being provided. The ad hoc demolition of older buildings, driven by proactive property developers in hope of meeting the ... -
Adaptive reuse of industrial buildings in a new precinct in Auckland’s CBD
(Global Science and Technology Forum, 2015-10-05)The conversion of former industrial buildings and identifying heritage as a commodity has become a pervasive trend, especially over the last decade. Adaptive re-use of old industrial buildings is often seen as an alternative ... -
The adoption of modern office workspaces by tertiary education institutes : a case study of Unitec
(UTS ePRESS (University of Technology Sydney), 2016-07)Modern office workspaces, and particularly activity-based workspaces (ABW) are emerging in the education sector. The primary reasons for making changes to workspaces vary from institute to institute. Yet, there is limited ... -
Adult refugee learners with limited literacy: needs and effective responses
(2012)The purpose of this study was to document and analyse the learning needs and issues of adult refugees with low language and literacy skills by looking at how their prior experiences and current contexts affect their ... -
Advancements in English-Persian hierarchical statistical machine translation
(2012)In this paper we show that a hierarchical phrase-based translation system will outperform a classical (non-hierarchical) phrase-based system in the English-to-Persian translation direction, yet for the Persian-to-English ... -
Advancing practical theory : a phronetic analysis of environmental participation and decision-making in NZ
(CreateSpace, 2016-07)Despite widespread support of collaborative and participatory approaches to environmental management internationally, understandings of such approaches are frequently simplistic and even idealised (McCallum, Hughey and ... -
Adventures in International Collaboration: Facilitating Globally-Created Student-Generated Mobile Movies Using a Blend of Online Tools
(International Academy of Technology, Education and Development (IATED), (Valencia, Spain), 2014)The burgeoning of international connectivity has, in the last few short years, opened up new arenas of artistic collaboration. The next generation of filmmakers will certainly engage with an ever-greater degree of remote ... -
After the rot: Improving the durability of building envelopes in domestic housing, New Zealand
(International Association for Housing Science, 2010)The issue of weathertightness of the external building envelope in domestic scaled timber frames continues to be an issue in New Zealand, some ten years after the results of a major cladding survey into the durability and ... -
Agents of change or changed agents? Early missionary landscape translations through knowledge, culture and biota at Bay of Islands Missions, New Zealand
(SAHANZ and Unitec ePress, 2014-08)Transfer implies moving knowledge or objects through space or time – inevitably creating change in the translation process. Vectors facilitate transfer or spread – either as organisms that are agents of change or as a ... -
Aiming high: Can the New Zealand Diploma in Business create the graduates it desires?
