Staphylococcus aureus survival inside the neutrophil phagosome
Neutrophils are a key component of the innate immune system, functioning to locate, phagocytose and destroy invading pathogens. Engulfed bacteria are internalized into a vacuole called the phagosome, which is subsequently ...
Understanding health-seeking behaviours of people in Indonesia; and developing, piloting, and evaluating a culturally appropriate intervention for people with diabetes
Indonesia is facing a dual burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases. Childhood-immunisation coverage is lower than most countries in Southeast Asia, with vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks frequently reported. ...
Numerical scalar curvature deformation and a gluing construction
In this work a new numerical technique to prepare Cauchy data for the initial value problem (IVP) formulation of Einstein's field equations (EFE) is presented. Our method is directly inspired by the exterior asymptotic ...
Geology of Takitimu group rocks in the Nugget Hill region, western Southland, New Zealand
An area approximately 31 km2, centered around Nugget Hill in western Southland was mapped in detail. The geology in this area is dominated by Takitimu Group lithologies which are intruded by the White Hill Intrusive Suite. ...
Women's perspectives on crime and criminal justice
This thesis is an exploratory analysis of women's offending in New Zealand. The criminal justice system deals regularly with the small number ( 1 7%) of women arrested for various crimes. This study is about the experiences ...
Buller and Heaphy : a social interpretation of two archaic West Coast settlements
This thesis investigates the material culture assemblage and spatial patterning of two Archaic sites on the West Coast of the South Island - Buller River Mouth (K29/8) and Heaphy River Mouth (L26/1). Two key themes are ...
Ecology of the giant kokopu
This study aimed to determine the distribution of giant kokopu, G. argenteus within the Lower Taieri Floodplain in New Zealand's South Island and then to examine various ecological aspects of this species including ...
External Validation of Consensus Molecular Subtyping of Colorectal Adenocarcinoma
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most diagnosed cancer in New Zealand, and New Zealand has amongst the highest rates per capita of CRC in the world. CRC is a highly heterogeneous disease with varying ...
Fantastic Pa and Where to Find Them: A Spatial Analysis of the pre-European Pa of Aotearoa
This thesis presents a spatial analysis of pre-European Pa sites across New Zealand with a focus on the North Island. Few spatial analyses of Pa have utilised sophisticated statistical methods or been carried out at a large ...
Connecting the Microscopic and Macroscopic in Unconventional Superconductors
In this thesis, a Linked-Cluster Expansion is utilized to derive expressions for the macroscopic Ginzburg-Landau constants in terms of variables connected to the microscopic Bogoliubov Hamiltonian. The resultant Ginzburg-Landau ...
