Trust-based energy aware geographical routing for smart grid communications networks
(Auckland University of Technology, 2013)
Smart Grid is the trend of next generation power distribution and management network that enable interactive communication and operation between consumers and suppliers, so as to achieve intelligent resource allocation ...
Thermomechanics, material flow and microstructure evolution during Friction Stir Processing of light cast alloys
(Auckland University of Technology, 2011)
Friction Stir Processing (FSP) is a solid-state processing technique which can be used to refine and modify as-cast microstructures for superior properties. The aim of the present research is to investigate the following ...
Understandings and experiences of embryo donation in New Zealand - a discursive analysis
(Auckland University of Technology, 2014)
Embryo donation (ED) is the donation by a couple who have surplus embryos following in vitro fertilisation to another infertile couple or person. The aim of this research was to address the paucity of knowledge on how ED ...
Sustaining clinical competency in compression bandaging for nurses working in the community
(Auckland University of Technology, 2014)
To determine the best education framework to sustain clinical competency in compression bandaging for District Nurses working in the community, two literature reviews were undertaken to answer this study question. Research ...
Family influences on Asian youth smoking in the context of culture and migration to New Zealand
(Auckland University of Technology, 2013)
The government has an aspirational goal for a smokefree New Zealand by 2025. Low smoking rates among New Zealand Asian youth must be maintained to protect the future health of this growing subpopulation and to contribute ...
Whose game are we playing? a study of the effects of adult involvement on children participating in organised team sports
(Auckland University of Technology, 2011)
There are clearly identified social, physical, and mental health benefits of physical activity in primary aged children. With an unequivocal link between sport and physical activity, it would appear to be fundamentally ...
Assessing agility in netball players
(Auckland University of Technology, 2011)
Determinants of agility performance include change of direction factors (technical and physical qualities) and perceptual/decision-making factors. This thesis aimed to address the gap in agility literature by developing a ...
Optimising transference of strength and power adaptation to sports specific performance
(Auckland University of Technology, 2011)
Traditional rugby-specific resistance training programmes typically concentrate on quantifying load via volume or intensity and use lower body exercises that principally work in the vertical plane. The experimental studies ...
Coloured-edge graph approach for the modelling of multimodal networks
(Auckland University of Technology, 2011)
Many networked systems involve multiple modes of transport. Such systems are called multimodal, and examples include logistic and telecommunication networks, biomedical phenomena, conflict resolution models and manufacturing ...
Temporal Sequence Learning in Spiking Neural Networks
(Auckland University of Technology, 2011)
Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) are the third generation of artificial neural network (ANN). Like the brain’s neurons, they use spikes (pulses) to propagate information. Spike sequence learning has many applications for ...
