  • On becoming a mathematician 
    Petocz Peter; Wood Leigh; Smith Geoff; Reid Anna (ICME 2004, 2004)
    In this paper, we report on our investigations of mathematics students' ideas about working as professionals in the mathematical sciences, and the impact that these ideas have on their learning of mathematics. Our ...
  • Photonic crystal based Mach-Zehnder interferometer 
    White Tom; De Sterke C; Mcphedran Ross; Botten Lindsay; Huang Tom (Australian National University, 2004)
  • Pricing and hedging for incomplete jump diffusion benchmark models 
    Platen Eckhard (American Mathematical Society, 2004)
    This paper considers a class of incomplete financial market models with security price processes that exhibit intensity based jumps. The benchmark or numeraire is chosen to be the growth optimal portfolio. Portfolio ...
  • The profession entity: research the relationship between students' conceptions of learning and their future professions 
    Reid Anna; Petocz Peter (Oxford Centre for Staff & Learning Development, 2004)
  • The need for higher education reform - problems faced with assessing collaborative team based work 
    D'Souza Sabita; Wood Leigh (ICME 2004, 2004)
    With a rise in group work across schools and universities, there has been a great deal of research regarding the beneficial impacts of teamwork on learning. However, research is limited in the area of assessment of ...
  • Pick-up and delivery with time windows and due dates 
    Neame Philip; Carmody Georgina (University of Ballarat, 2004)
    We consider a variant on a pick-up and delivery problem with time windows, where both early and late delivery of items is penalized. This problem arises from an application in the area of defence, but has wider applications ...
  • Symmetry of modes in coupled photonic crystal waveguides 
    Botten Lindsay; De Sterke C; Asatryan Ara; White Tom; Mcphedran Ross (Australian National University, 2004)
  • The Virtual Boundary Violation Faced by China in Information Society 
    Zhang Zhui; Han Bing; Lu Zi; Deng Zhuopeng; Lu Jie; Wang Ran (Hua Publisher, China, 2005)
    The object of this research is to explore how to express the correct boundary of China in electronic map and the harmful problems caused by it in information society. Surveying various kinds of online electronic map ...
  • Scheduling UET tasks on parallel machines: strength of priority algorithms 
    Zinder Yakov (Western Australian Centre of Excellence in Industrial Optimisation, Curtin University of Technology, 2005)
    The paper is concerned with the problem of scheduling a partially ordered set of unit execution time tasks on parallel identical machines in ordered to minimize the criterion of maximum lateness, which plays one of the ...
  • Minimum norm dual solutions and column generalisation stabilisation 
    Neame Philip (Western Australian Centre of Excellence in Industrial Optimisation, Curtin University of Technology, 2005)
    Column generation is an important technique for solving very large-scale integer programming problems, with important applications in crew scheduling and vehicle routing. However, it has been observed that the column ...
  • A self-organising model for topology-aware overlay formation 
    Le Thi Hong Hanh; Hoang Doan; Simmonds Andrew (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Inc (IEEE), 2005)
    One of the major weaknesses of existing peer-to-peer (P2P) networks is that their overlay structures do not correlate to the physical underlying network topology. As a result, the overlays waste network resources and ...
  • International Comparisons of Construction Industry Performance: Further Investigations 
    Best Eric; Langston Craig (Queensland University of Technology, 2005)
    While there have been many attempts at comparisons of construction performance over the past 50 years, the results have generally been inconclusive and/or contradictory. Such comparisons are of great interest to industry, ...
  • Statistics and the Peer Review Process in Construction Research 
    Best Eric; Smith Narelle (Queensland University of Technology, 2005)
    This paper examines, in some detail, two papers published in 2003 and 2004 in respected journals. The papers had been through a typical peer review process, with one of the journals in question using four referees rather ...
  • Using the Big Mac Index for comparing Construction Costs Internationally 
    Langston Craig; Best Eric (Queensland University of Technology, 2005)
    This paper explores the use of purchasing power parity (PPP) in the comparison of construction costs between different countries, and whether the development of construction-specific indices will improve reliability. The ...
  • Natural Ventilation Flow Rate performance and Product Development 
    West, S. T (Queensland University of Technology, 2005)
    The natural ventilation testing methodology developed at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) to distinguish a ventilators flow rate performance due to wind siphonage as distinct from stack effect (temperature / ...
  • 8-Equalities of Sequences of Fuzzy Sets 
    Zhang Guangquan; Lu Jie (Tsinghua University Press, 2005)
    The concept of 8-equalities of Fuzzy Sets was first proposed by Cai in 1995 to measure the degree of equality between two different fuzzy sets. Two fuzzy sets are said to be 8-equal if they are equal to an extent of ...
  • A Fuzzy Relational Approach to Event Recommendation 
    Cornelis Chris; Guo Xuetao; Lu Jie; Zhang Guangquan (Indian International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2005)
    Most existing recommender systems employ collaborative filtering (CF) techniques in making projections about which items an eservice user is likely to be interested in, i.e. they identify correlations between users and ...
  • A Web-Based Decision Support System for Linear Multi Follower Problems without Shared Variables 
    Lu Jie; Shi Chenggen; Zhang Guangquan (Joint Conference On Information Sciences, 2005)
    Advanced web and database technology support remote data access and communication. It has opened new opportunities for decision support system builders to develop web-based DSS. This paper presents a webbased decision ...
  • An extended Kth-best approach for fuzzy linear bilevel problems 
    Zhang Guangquan; Lu Jie; Steele Robert; Shi Chenggen (Joint Conference On Information Sciences, 2005)
    Organizational bilevel decision-making often involves uncertain factors. The parameters shown in a bilevel programming model, either in the objective functions or constraints, are thus often imprecise, which is called the ...
