The autecology of lonicera japonica in a restoration context
(The University of Waikato, 2009)This thesis concerns the autecology of Lonicera japonica in relation to ecological restoration in Hamilton. It addresses three groups of questions, relating to L. japonica's place in the plant community, its reproduction ... -
Authentic dialogue? The role of “friendship” in a social media recruitment campaign
(Emerald, 2010)Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute to emerging theory about the role of authenticity in social media use through discussion of a not-for-profit organisation's experiences of using social networking to ... -
Authentic student inquiry: the mismatch between the intended curriculum and the student-experienced curriculum
(Routledge, 2010)As a means of achieving scientific literacy goals in society, the last two decades have witnessed international science curriculum redevelopment that increasingly advocates a 'new look' inquiry-based approach to learning. ... -
Authenticity: A macromarketing perspective
(Sage, 2014-03)This investigation argues that authenticity is inherently a macromarketing concept that is linked to how marketers and consumers view themselves and their own status in society. We show that authenticity refers to the ... -
Authorship patterns in information systems
(1996-10)This paper examines the patterns of multiple authorship in five information systems journals. Specifically, we determine the distribution of the number of authors per paper in this field, the proportion of male and female ... -
Autistic tendencies at university: An exploration of distress, coping behaviours, and comorbidities
(The University of Waikato, 2019)In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of autistic students attempting tertiary education. However, data show that only about a third of autistic students who enrol in university complete their qualification. ... -
Automated aerial seed planting using biodegradable polymers
(The University of Waikato, 2019)The purpose of the thesis was to undertake a preliminary product design to assess the feasibility of using drone technology to aid reforestation for automated seed planting. This product would be able to increase productivity ... -
Automated Boundary Testing from Z and B
(Springer, 2002)We present a method for black-box boundary testing from B and Z formal specifications. The basis of the method is to test every operation of the system at every boundary state using all input boundary values of that ... -
Automated canine scent-detection apparatus: Technical description and training outcomes
To date, laboratory scent-detection work with dogs has been a manual process whereby some or all aspects of the procedures are mediated by researchers. Automation of this process would eliminate issues associated with ... -
Automated deduction of finite-state control programs for reactive systems
(Springer, Berlin, 1998)We propose an approach towards the automatic synthesis of finite-state reactive control programs from purely declarative, logic specifications of their requirements. More precisely, if P is a set of propositional temporal ... -
Automated measurement of disease and pain in New Zealand group-housed calves
(University of Waikato, 2015)Exposure to disease and pain will prolong animal ‘suffering’, and as such, diminishes welfare. Identifying behaviours indicative of these conditions can facilitate early detection, timely treatment and improved welfare. ... -
An automated microaneurysm detector as a tool for identification of diabetic retinopathy in rural optometric practice
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006)Background: With the increase in the prevalence of diabetes, rural optometric clinics stand to increase their patient load and assessment of diabetic eye disease. This study aimed to assess whether automated identification ... -
Automated Technology Based Behavioural Intervention to Promote Exercise Adherence: A Pilot Study to Ascertain Efficacy
(University of Waikato, 2015)Exercise has been shown to be an effective treatment for a range of physical and mental health problems. Development of automated exercise therapy options will result in greater accessibility of treatment for those who ... -
Automatic application object migration in sensor networks
(IEEE, 2010)Object migration in wireless sensor networks has the potential to reduce energy consumption for a wireless sensor network mesh. Automated migration reduces the need for the programmer to perform manual static analysis to ... -
Automatic construction of lexicons, taxonomies, ontologies, and other knowledge structures
(Wiley, 2013)Abstract, structured, representations of knowledge such as lexicons, taxonomies, and ontologies have proven to be powerful resources not only for the systematization of knowledge in general, but to support practical ... -
Automatic end-to-end De-identification: Is high accuracy the only metric?
(2019)De-identification of electronic health records (EHR) is a vital step towards advancing health informatics research and maximising the use of available data. It is a two-step process where step one is the identification of ... -
Automatic Parallelisation of Web Applications
(Canterbury University, 2008)Small web applications have a tendency to get bigger. Yet despite the current popularity of web applications, little has been done to help programmers to leverage the performance and scalability benefits that can result ... -
Automatic Parallelization of Data-Driven JStar Programs
(University of Waikato, 2013)Data-driven problems have common characteristics: a large number of small objects with complex dependencies. This makes the traditional parallel programming approaches more difficult to apply as pipe-lining the task ... -
Automatic species identification of live moths
(Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., 2007)A collection consisting of the images of 774 live moth individuals, each moth belonging to one of 35 different UK species, was analysed to determine if data mining techniques could be used effectively for automatic species ... -
Automatically linking MEDLINE abstracts to the Gene Ontology
(2003)Much has been written recently about the need for effective tools and methods for mining the wealth of information present in biomedical literature (Mack and Hehenberger, 2002; Blagosklonny and Pardee, 2001; Rindflesch et ...
