Designing social technologies: the impact of the social proxy in an online community.
… determinant of overall member participation and engagement. Social proxies play an important role in communicating this activity. This paper asks whether the absence of a social proxy in an online community negatively impacts on user participation levels. Participation is determined by the …

Modelling the scavenging process in a two-stroke I.C. engine
… of cylinder content at the trapping conditions and hence the combustion and power output. The unsteady gas flow in engine pipes has a marked influence on the scavenging process. In the current study, the two-stroke engine simulation model has been developed to predict the steady state …

Time varying probability of failure of steel floor beams subjected to real fire
… basis than time of failure modelling does for design. From risk modelling, some small resistance time from the probabilistic distribution times of failure can be deduced, which gives an acceptably small risk of failure. Time of failure modelling by itself can only give the mean time failure …

Improving the productivity of marine container terminals
… thesis is concerned with several facets of the management of container terminals. One facet, of the research was to test the hypothesis that it is difficult to compare the productivities of container terminals. This is because the measures used to calculate productivity vary from operator to …

Tunable narrow bandpass Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital conversion for mobile communication terminals
A whole-of-band receiver structure is proposed. In this structure, the whole mobile band (125 channels for GSM) is digitized and channel selection is performed using DSP filters. The ADC is a critical component in this structure, requiring 13bits resolution at sampling rate of 50MHz . A modified ΣΔ …

Effectiveness of smoke barriers: pressurised stair enclosures
… used in many high-rise buildings. They are designed to keep smoke out of the stairwell so that occupants have a safe evacuation route during an emergency. Throughout the years, however, many within the Fire Engineering industry have commented that SPS do not really perform as per their …

Bi-directional evolutionary method for stiffness and displacement optimisation
… of BESO is motivated to improve the reliability and efficiency of the ESO method. The BESO method for topological optimisation of 2D continua subject to stiffness and displacement constraints is the major task of this thesis. The theoretical aspects are explored by following the optimality …

The Christchurch Urban Design Panel: Its role and influence on residential development within central city Christchurch post-earthquake : A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Planning at Lincoln University
During the 21st century, New Zealand has experienced increasing public concern over the quality of the design and appearance of new developments, and their effects on the urban environment. In response to this, a number of local authorities developed a range of tools to address this issue, …
