  • Investigating motivation in context: developing sociocultural perspectives 
    Pressick-Kilborn Kimberley; Arnold Lynette; Walker Richard; Sainsbury Erica (Human Kinetics Publ Inc, 2005)
    Motivation is increasingly recognized as contextually situated, and this recognition has led to considerable research into motivation in authentic learning environments such as classrooms. Developing sociocultural ...
  • Is absolute identification always relative? Comment on Stewart, Brown, and Chater (2005) 
    Brown S; Marley Anthony; Lacouture Y (American Psychological Association, 2007)
    N. Stewart, G. D. A. Brown, and N. Chater's (2005) relative judgment model includes three core assumptions that enable it to predict accurately the vast majority of ¿classical¿ phenomena in absolute identification choices, ...
  • It's a Child's Game: Investigating Cognitive Development with Playing Robots 
    Johansson Birger; Balkenius Christian (IEEE, 2005)
    To study and simulate cognitive development, it is useful to find a natural domain where many cognitive functions are needed and, but where the complexity of the environment and task is reasonable. We suggest that childrens ...
  • 'It's a personal thing' volunteer motivation across two generations in a Sydney area health service - implications for management 
    Green Jennifer; Blackett Denise (Blackwell Publishing, 2003)
    This paper reports on a small qualitative study conducted with 30 volunteers from an Area Health Service in the northern suburbs of Sydney. The study was designed to ascertain the ways in which the motivation of hospital ...
  • It's beyond water: Stories of women's experience of using water for labour and birth 
    Maude R; Foureur Maralyn (Elsevier, 2005)
    Purpose: This study aimed to give ‘voice’ to women’s experiences of using water for labour and birth. Participants: Five women from a large urban region in New Zealand, who used water for labour and birth, at home and ...
  • Kernel-based Subspace Analysis for Face Recognition 
    Jan Tony; Tsai Po-Hsiang; Hintz Thomas (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Inc (IEEE), 2007)
    In face recognition, if the extracted input data contains misleading information (uncertainty), the classifiers may produce degraded classification performance. In this paper, we employed kernel-based discriminant ...
  • Learning to Anticipate the Movements of Intermittently Occluded Objects 
    Johansson Birger; Balkenius Christian (LUCS (Lund University Cognitive Sciences), 2008)
    A model of event driven anticipatory learning is described and applied to a number of attention situations where one or several visual targets need to be tracked while being intermittently occluded. The model combines ...
  • Marginal Voices: Third Sector Organisations as Vehicles for Social Movement 
    Barraket, J. (Blackwell Publishing, 2007)
    The development of the third sector in Australia has involved the negotiation of varying forms of state and market regulatory mechanisms. In the course of these settlements, ground-up initiatives have often found that ...
  • Measuring consumer vanity: A cross-cultural validation 
    Wang Paul; Waller David (Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2005)
    Given the unmistakable trend toward a more integrated global economy and the tremendous impact of consumer vanity on demand for countless goods and services, there exists a need for more cross-cultural research on the ...
  • Measuring values using best-worst scaling: The LOV example 
    Lee J; Soutar Geoffrey; Louviere Jordan (Marcel Dekker, 2001)
    The paper discusses the way that values have been measured and suggests an alternative way to collect values data. A recently developed approach, termed Best Worst Scaling, developed by Louviere and his colleagues, ...
  • A Meta-Analysis of Judgment Achievement as Defined by the Lens Model Equation 
    Kaufmann E; Athanasou James (Verlag Hans Huber, 2009)
    This research determined the extent of judgment achievement (i.e., accuracy) across different decision-making domains (e. g., medicine, business, education, psychology). Judgment achievement was examined in terms of the ...
  • Methodology and initial analysis results for development of non-invasive and hybrid driver drowsiness detection systems 
    Zilberg Eugene; Burton David; Xu Zheng Ming; Karrar Murad; Lal Saroj (River Publishers, 2008)
    Application of piezofilm movement sensors integrated into the car seat, seat belt and steering wheel was proposed for development of a noninvasive and hybrid systems for detecting driver drowsiness. A car simulator study ...
  • Multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping using D-SLAM framework 
    Huang Shoudong; Wang Zhan; Dissanayake Gamini (ARC Research Network on Sensor Networks, 2007)
    This paper presents an algorithm for the multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem with the robot initial locations completely unknown. Each robot builds its own local map using the traditional ...
  • Mutual Information Based Data Association 
    Alempijevic Alen; Kodagoda Sarath; Dissanayake Gamini (IEEE, 2009)
    Relating information originating from disparate sensors without any attempt to model the environment or the behaviour of any particular object within it is a challenging task. Inspired by human perception, the focus of ...
  • Nature and Prevalence of Stalking Among New Zealand Mental Health Clinicians 
    Thom, K.; Dixon, R.; Hughes, F. A (ScienceDirect, Elsevier Ltd, 2003)
    Stalking involves recurrent and persistent unwanted communication or contact that generates fear for safety in the victims. This pilot study evaluated the nature and prevalence of stalking among New Zealand nurses and ...
