(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)A vast amount of genetic variation is a striking hallmark of natural populations, and is vital to the adaptation and long-term survival of a species. Just why this variation is there, however, is unclear: the two most ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The assessment of the performance of multi-resolution image fusion, or image sharpening methods, is difficult. In the context of binary classification of snow targets in mountainous terrain, fusion methods were applied to ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)To understand the mechanisms underlying a successful team, one must first understand the circumstances leading to successful performance outcomes (i.e., point/goal scoring events). However, tracking player performance in ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The aim of this paper is to analyse different alternative implementations for a problem defined as "point allocation inside polygons" for Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). The problem involves situations where the ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)For the last 40 years one of the most contentious issues in evolutionary biology has been determining the role that spatial separation of populations plays in the generation of new species. Most early formulations of this ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The journey to successful data analysis is vulnerable to loss of accuracy at several key steps in its progression. Thus the ease of understanding the results and strength of insight into a work’s implications depends on ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Keynote/plenary), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The first comprehensive analysis of long-term sea level change in New Zealand was completed in 1990. That analysis revealed an average rise in sea levels around the New Zealand coastline of 1.7 mm/yr since 1900. A more ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)AgResearch is New Zealand’s largest Crown Research Institute and undertakes research in the areas of pastoral agriculture and environment, applied biotechnologies, and food and textiles. While there is a great deal of scope ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The last decade has seen resurgence of interest in the modelling of networked phenomena. In 1999, Albert and Barabási identified "scale-free" networks as being surprisingly widespread in phenomena as wide-ranging as the ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The paper discusses a recent test of using High Definition (HD) video camera to obtain aerial mapping images for coastal zone study. Real-Time GPS was used to capture the ground control. It was revealed that the vibration ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The display of interactive artwork plays an increasingly important role in modern museums and galleries. However, the reaction of visitors has not been extensively tested to date. We present a pilot study that investigates ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The traditional causal, vectorial approach to formulation of physical law is contrasted to the analytic approach which is based on variational principles. Reviewing the work of Toffoli, these two “paradigms” are considered ... -
Spatial variation in the association between neighbourhood deprivation and access to alcohol outlets (Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)Background: People who live in poor areas suffer higher mortality than those living in wealthier areas. People who live in poor areas in New Zealand have better access to alcohol and this association appears to vary ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The ability to discover and maintain multiple solutions within a single run is a desirable property for evolutionary algorithms. Researchers have previously turned to many biologically-inspired methods for inspiration to ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The aim of this research was to determine the behavior and habitat selection of red deer (Cervus elaphus) hinds during the calving period, on an extensively managed rangeland in the high-country of New Zealand’s South ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)This paper describes preliminary work analysing the stability of parameter coefficient estimates for Geographically-Weighted Regression (GWR). Based on a large dataset (35721 points) various random samplings of this data ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)This research was conceived to contribute to the theoretical foundations of a general view of the dynamics of the world based on a concept of spatial order, defined and quantified in terms of differences or gradients. The ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)We present a model-based contour tracing approach to the problem of automatically segmenting a Scanning Electron Microscope image of red blood cells. These images characteristically have high numbers of overlapping cells ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)This presentation discusses and demonstrates ways in which modern technology, specifically Web-based GIS (augmented by low-tech data gathering strategies), and a web page based on local meetings of fishermen and other ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)This short paper discusses how space is introduced within evolutionary models and reviews several approaches from the literature. In particular, the Moran process is used as one type of model that has been described in ...
