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 ...
Neural Network classifiers for automated video surveillance

Piccardi Massimo; Jan Tony; Hintz Thomas (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Inc (IEEE), 2003)

In automated visual surveillance applications, detection of suspicious human behaviors is of great practical importance. However due to random nature of human movements, reliable classification of suspicious human ...
Neural-network detection of hypoglycemic episodes in children with type 1 diabetes using physiological responses

Ghevondian Nejhdeh; Nguyen Hung; Jones Timothy (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Inc (IEEE), 2006)

The most common and highly feared adverse effect of intensive insulin therapy in patients with diabetes is the increased risk of hypoglycemia. Symptoms of hypoglycemia arise from the activation of the autonomous central ...
Neurophysiology of therapeutic alliance

Stratford Trisha; Lal Saroj; Meara Alan (Gestalt Journal of Australia and New Zealand, 2009)

Currently no studies exist on assessing neurophysiological correlates, especially brain activity, during therapeutic alliance (TA) between client and therapist. The aims of this study were to assess electroencephalography ...
A new neural network structure: node-to-node-link neural network

Ling Steve (Scientific Research Publishing, Inc., 2011)

This paper presents a new neural network structure and namely node-to-node-link neural network (N-N-LNN) and it is trained by real-coded genetic algorithm (RCGA) with average-bound crossover and wavelet mutation [1]. The ...
A Novel Hybrid System for Skin Lesion Detection

Al-Jumaily Adel; Chiem Andy; Khushaba Rami N (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Inc (IEEE), 2007)

In this paper, a new intelligent method of classifying benign and malignant melanoma lesions is implemented. The system consists of four stages; image pre-processing, image segmentation, feature extraction, and image ...
Optimisation of HPLC gradient separations using artificial neural networks (ANNs): Application to benzodiazepines in post-mortem samples

Webb Rebecca; Doble Philip; Dawson Michael (Elsevier Science Bv, 2009)

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) were used in conjunction with an experimental design to optimise a gradient HPLC separation of nine benzodiazepines. Using the best performing ANN, the optimum conditions predicted were ...
Optimisation Of The Separation Of Amino Acids By Capillary Electrophoresis Using Artificial Neural Networks

Van Gramberg Amanda; Beavis Alison; Blanes Lucas; Doble Philip (John Wiley & Sons, Inc, 2010)

Many factors can affect the separation performance of a capillary electrophoresis (CE) electrolyte, such as the buffer, surfactant and organic modifier concentrations, pH, capillary temperature, and applied voltage (1). ...
