Towards an understanding of thermodynamic and kinetic controls on the formation of clay minerals from volcanic glass under various environmental conditions
(Research Signpost, 1996-01-01)lmogolite is the kinetically and thermodynamically favoured weathering product from rhyolitic volcanic glass in the soil-forming environment. However, on thermodynamic grounds imogolite would also appear to be the favoured ... -
Towards automated configuration of stream clustering algorithms
(Springer, 2019)Clustering is an important technique in data analysis which can reveal hidden patterns and unknown relationships in the data. A common problem in clustering is the proper choice of parameter settings. To tackle this, ... -
Towards cleaner fertilisers; Solution ion-exchange methods for reducing cadmium levels in reactive phosphate rock
(The University of Waikato, 2022)The aim of this study was to characterise reactive phosphate rock (RPR); a form of rock phosphate which can be used directly as fertiliser, and investigate the potential to reduce cadmium levels in RPR by application of ... -
Towards Colour Imaging with the Image Ranger
(The University of Waikato, 2006)Many of the colour images captured by different types of digital camera do not provide quality colour image according to human visual perception. In this study we explore technique for colour correction of the colour images ... -
Towards Comprehensive Policy Integration for the Sustainability of Small Islands: A Landscape-Scale Planning Approach for the Galapagos Islands
(MDPI, 2018)Accomplishing and implementing sustainable development goals in the context of insular socio-ecological systems requires effective policy integration—i.e., the integration of policy actors across multiple sectors and levels ... -
Towards embedding data provenance in files
(IEEE, 2021)Data provenance (keeping track of who did what, where, when and how) boasts of various attractive use cases for distributed systems, such as intrusion detection, forensic analysis and secure information dependability. This ... -
Towards improving packet probing techniques
(ACM, 2001)Packet probing is an important Internet measurement technique, supporting the investigation of packet delay, path, and loss. Current packet probing techniques use Internet Protocols such as the Internet Control Message ... -
Towards industrial Al-Nb-B master alloys for grain refining Al-Si alloys
(2019)It has long been known that foundry Al-Si alloys cannot reliably and consistently be grain refined by means of Ti-containing master alloys due to reaction between Ti and Si. Over the last years we developed and studied new ... -
Towards Internet scale simulation
(IARIA, 2011)Simulation of the Internet has long been understood to be very challenging mostly because of its scale, diversity and the lack of detailed knowledge of many of its components. However, two recent developments (macroscopic ... -
Towards large scale continuous EDA: a random matrix theory perspective
(ACM, 2013)Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDA) are a major branch of evolutionary algorithms (EA) with some unique advantages in principle. They are able to take advantage of correlation structure to drive the search more ... -
Towards Meta-learning over Data Streams
(CEUR-WS, 2014)Modern society produces vast streams of data. Many stream mining algorithms have been developed to capture general trends in these streams, and make predictions for future observations, but relatively little is known about ... -
Towards one global privacy law
(Asia Global Institute (AGI), 2018)A unified, global data privacy framework is becoming essential for the unhindered development of business across borders. For researchers at the Data Privacy Foundation in New Zealand, this can only be achieved in Asia via ... -
Towards predictive runtime modelling of Kubernetes microservices
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Kubernetes is one of the major container management platforms utilised by Cloud Service Providers offering to host applications and services. As cloud based services become more prevalent, platform providers are faced with ... -
Towards rapid assay of cryptotephra in peat cores: review and evaluation of selected methods
(Elsevier, 2008-02)Peat bogs are highly effective archives for the preservation and detection of cryptotephra but the conventional methods used to detect these hidden, diminutive layers are destructive and can be time consuming. We briefly ... -
Towards robust and repeatable sampling methods in eDNA-based studies
(WILEY, 2018)DNA‐based techniques are increasingly used for measuring the biodiversity (species presence, identity, abundance and community composition) of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. While there are numerous reviews of molecular ... -
Towards Robust Exchanges: Evaluating Ecological Compensation in New Zealand
(University of Waikato, 2014)Ecological compensation is commonly employed but rarely evaluated around the world. In order to assess application of the tool in New Zealand, a systematic nationwide review was undertaken. The research used a combination ... -
Towards the 20 minute city
(2021)THE IDEA OF a 20-minute city came out of Portland, Oregon, in the early 2010s. Melbourne added its own twist on the concept later in the decade. With the emergence of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the buzz around 20-minute ... -
Towards the design of a kid’s music organizer
(ACM, 2008)In this paper, we investigate how young children aged 2 to 5 interact with music and their family's music collections. By going into their homes, interviewing them and their parents and observing the children performing a ... -
Towards the development of a financial reporting framework for Sri Lankan SMEs
(The University of Waikato, 2018)The study has two objectives: to identify the users and their information needs of Sri Lankan small and medium enterprises (SMEs) financial information; and to examine the need for internationally comparable accounting ... -
Towards the development of an integrated ethical decision-making framework for Sri Lankan accountants: A developing country context
(The University of Waikato, 2018)The rash of corporate collapses, fraud, and corrupt activities seen all around the world in recent years has not only provoked criticism of accountants, but also prompted researchers world-wide to increasingly turn their ...
