Hyperlink connectivity of WA tourism websites

This poster shows the network of hyperlink connectivity between tourism websites in Western Australia. The network has 1515 websites and 6059 links. Network analysis was used to analyse the network from different perspectives. The analyses showed the main properties of the network such as very low connectivity, the hierarchical structure of the network, high clustering, tendency to link to geographically proximate organisations, and low acknowledgment between the websites. WA tourism websites need to create more links to each other to become more visible on the internet.https://ro.ecu.edu.au/ecuposters/1018/thumbnail.jp

Adaptive applications of OPTO-VLSI processors in WDM networks

Communication is an inseparable part of human life and its nature continues to evolve and improve. The advent of laser was a herald to the new possibilities in the communication world. In recent years technologies such as Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) and Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) have afforded significant boost to the practice of optical communication. At the heart of this brave new world is the need to dynamically/ adaptively steer/route beams of light carrying very large amounts of data. In recent years many techniques have been proposed for this purpose by various researchers. In this study we have elected to utilise the beam-steering capabilities of Opto-VLSI processors to investigate band-pass filtering and channel equalisation as two possible and practical applications in WDM networks

DIPL 6310 NA Research Methods for Policy Analysis

This course is designed to introduce students to the skills for interpreting, conducting, presenting, and analyzing political science research. Over the course of the term, you will learn how to think like social scientists while developing various skills required by the discipline: how to choose which method to employ, how to undertake original research (complete with data collection and analysis), and how to present your findings to colleagues. The goal at the end of this class is to help you understand and conduct quantitative and qualitative political research that will be useful in both academic and professional settings

DIPL 3800 AA Investigating International Relations

What is political science? How does one scientifically study the political world? What contribution does political science make to a body of knowledge? the practice of politics? the political world? And why should you know this stuff? This course is deigned to develop those skills necessary for students to both conduct their own research and to critically evaluate the research of others. Rather than focusing on the memorization or “intake” of information and knowledge, this course will look at the elements of good science, sound research, and logical conclusions. The purpose of this course is not for students to attain or retain “new” knowledge, but rather to gain the tools necessary to be skilled researchers and consumers of knowledge. Class discussions will use required readings as a foundation for approaching questions regarding the nature, character, and practice of political science

Simulation and classification of power quality events based on wavelet transform energy using feature selection method

In this paper mathematical modeling method has been used in order to simulating of power quality events. In regarding to excellent neural network function in classification and pattern recognition works, multilayer neural network has been used for events classification. The STFT and Discrete Wavelet Transform are used for feature extraction. Acquired features of this step are decreased using advance algorithm of feature selection. Then these extracted features were given to the neural network as input. The simulation results showed that the classification precision of data caused by the algorithm of feature selection is better in compare with the precision of total data classification.Keywords: Power quality, neural network, Wavelet transform, Feature selectio
