(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), Fourth International Meeting on Wind Turbine Noise, 2011)Hearing allows humans to detect threats in the environment and to communicate with others. However, unwanted sound has the capacity to evoke reflexive and emotional responses, and can act a stressor. The World Health ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), Proceedings of the International Symposium on Sustainability in Acoustics, ISSA 2010, 2010)The aim of this study was to assess the risk of noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) in shearing and investigate practicable control methods. Woolshed surveys included shed construction data, noise dosimetry and area noise ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 2010)There has been little empirical investigation of relationship between website usage (Web Metrics) and website content. The overall aim of the study reported in this article was to build on empirical evidence about a ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 2010)Measurements that capture website performance have long enabled businesses to improve strategies and operations. For an eCommerce website, there exists a limited understanding on how performance is measured. Measuring the ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 2008)This paper presents a research model, which is built on communication theory (Shannon and Weaver 1948) and DeLone and McLean’s (1992, 2003) information system model, to identify eCommerce website success dimensions. The ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 2010)Online businesses are often engaged in web metrics to gauge the performance of their eCommerce website. This study examines the relationships between web metrics and the financial performance. The key purpose of the present ... -
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), Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings 09121: Normative Multi-Agent Systems, 2009)In multi-agent systems, software agents are modelled to possess characteristics and behaviour borrowed from human societies. Norms are expectations of behaviours of the agents in a society. Norms can be established in a ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 15th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2003: Land, Place and Space), 2003)The spatial distribution of radiation frosts is closely associated with topographic patterns, and this link makes frost an obvious candidate for topoclimate mapping. There are several potential approaches involving field ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 16th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2004: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2004)This study is about the evaluation of non-immersive desktop web-based photo-realistic virtual environments using think-aloud protocol and heuristic evaluation to determine three aims: (1) whether applying the same usability ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 15th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2003: Land, Place and Space), 2003)The use of space for supporting evolution has been previously studied in the context of distributed Genetic Algorithms (DGA), where two standard approaches, island and grid based, are employed to define the population ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)Niching methods are a useful extension of evolutionary computation that allow evolutionary algorithms to be applied in multimodal problem domains. Current niching methods use either one of two methods to promote the formation ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 16th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2004: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2004)Low-cost, medium-resolution and hand-held digital cameras with near-infrared (NIR) capability are now readily available. The NIR spectrum (700 to 925 nanometers) is a tiny part of the overall electro-magnetic spectrum. ... -
(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 (Paper), 16th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2004: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2004)Spatially-structured populations play an important role in controlling selection pressure in evolutionary algorithms. The imposing space on a evolving population has traditionally been biased toward the underlying architecture ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 16th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2004: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2004)The paper outlines initial results into a study of the preference of gene location for diploid organisms under the presence of an environmental gradient. The work explores the properties of a spatially-explicit model of ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)Dengue fever, and especially the life-threatening form - DHF is an infectious mosquitoborne disease that places a heavy burden on public health systems in Malaysia as well as on most of the tropical countries around the ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), Otago Business PhD Colloquium, 2006)This research proposal is in an early stage of development. Investigating the linkages between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the business strategies of tourism destination businesses offers the prospect of new ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), The Chartered Institute of Marketing Conference, 2003)Niccolo Machiavelli is used as a guide to some of the key issues facing modern government and applies his insights into the effective management and development of civic society. Political Marketing, Good Governance, ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), PMA Conference, Otago 2009, 2009)Performance evaluations systems are a critical part of overall performance management systems. This intensive case study provides insights into how the use of subjective performance evaluations in a complex organisational ...
