Techniques for optimization of a dairy farm simulation model
(Lincoln University, 2003)
Dairy farms are complicated biological and managerial systems with many control variables. New Zealand's dairy farm research organization, Dexcel Ltd, has developed a computer simulation model, the Dexcel WFM (Whole Farm ...
Investigation of a stochastic solute transport model and development of inverse methods in hydrogeology
(Lincoln University, 2003)
This thesis encompasses two aspects of stochastic solute transport modelling in porous media. One part is dedicated to investigating a stochastic transport model. In the second part, two types of inverse methods are developed ...
An assessment of spam email filtering approaches : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Applied Computing (Honours)
(Lincoln University, 2003)
With the increasing emergence of electronic communication on the internet, spam, which is defined as unsolicited and unwanted email, usually in the form of advertisements for products and services, has become a major concern ...
An investigation into transforming spreadsheet data using XML: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Applied Computing (Honours)
(Lincoln University, 2003)
Spreadsheets used for managing data often have problems when the data is stored in an unnormalised way. These problems can be solved by creating normalised tables in a database. The process for transforming the data is ...
Estimating thermal radiation fields from 3D flame reconstruction
(Lincoln University, 2003)
Designing fire safety into a building requires a designer to think through issues that include fire ignition, growth and spread. The dominant mechanism of spread is radiative heat transfer from flames. Therefore, in order ...
Using a model of magnesium dynamics in cows to predict the risk of tetany in dairy herds
(Modelling and Simulation Society of Australia and New Zealand, 2003-07)
The onset of tetany, when dairy cattle have insufficient magnesium, has a huge impact both economically and on animal welfare. To aid our understanding of the factors that determine magnesium status in dairy cattle, we ...
