(Thesis, Master of Arts, 2017)Growing evidence suggests that infants and young children distinguish between prosocial and antisocial others. The main paradigm employed to test this ability is the hill paradigm. The hill paradigm involves three ...
-
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Purpose Increased core temperature (Tc) can reduce athletic performance in the heat due to the increased demands on the thermoregulatory system. This can lead to serious detriments in physical performance with increased ...
-
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)The lateral line system of fish has been implicated in contributing to many behaviours, including orientation, activity and feeding. The system is comprised of a series of interconnected organs (neuromasts) that may be ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017)Historical claims of sexual abuse often involve highly detailed descriptions of the alleged events (Conway 2013; Howe & Knott, 2015). Such descriptions might include information about the weather, people’s clothing, and ...
-
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)The study that forms the topic of this thesis was an investigation into the avian hippocampus’ contribution to visual memory and the representation of spatial information. Control and hippocampal lesioned pigeons (Colomba ...
-
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017)There is a need for materials to replace the use of sutures and staples in surgical procedures. Amongst all the alternatives, special attention has been paid to hydrogels because of their unique and interesting ...
-
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017)In this thesis the chemistry and textures of void-filling hydrothermal carbonate and associated altered metamorphic and lamprophyric rock in western Otago, New Zealand, were studied. With this information a detailed model ... -
(Dissertation, BAppSc. (Hons.), 2014)Six structurally controlled gold deposits are hosted within two different structural blocks in the Old Man Range area. The mineralised lodes are hosted in normal faults which cut steeply across the host schistosity. In the ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Prediabetes is a worldwide growing epidemic and a key risk factor for progression onto type 2 diabetes. Interventions targeting prediabetes are required to delay or prevent the onset of diabetes. A pilot study was ... -
(Dissertation, B. Sc. (Hons.), 1994)The Otago block mountains are important water supply areas with their abundant water yield attributed to conservative water use by narrow-leaved snow tussock (Chionochloa rigida), the dominant vegetation cover of the region. ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2004)Inputs of nutrients and organic matter to wetlands from catchments influence water quality, which, in turn, determines the potential productivity of a wetland. While there are many studies of the effects of catchment ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper published in proceedings), ICOM-CC, 2011)Māori artefacts discovered in 1895 at Puketoi Station, Otago, South Island New Zealand, were re-examined using multiple methods to gather information of relevance and meaning to contemporary Māori culture. This paper ... -
(Journal Article, Studies in Conservation, 2013)This work investigates the use of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT, µCT) for identification of New Zealand plant leaf material from artefacts. Micro-computed tomography was explored as a result of difficulties in preparing ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017)Directed graphs and their higher-rank analogues provide an intuitive framework to study a class of C*-algebras which we call graph algebras. The theory of graph algebras has been developed by a number of researchers and ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Young children’s ability to exhibit self-control has been linked to a wide range of positive outcomes later in life, providing a strong impetus for improving this skill in young children. While previous theorists suggested ...
-
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017)This thesis examines the C*-algebras associated to semigroups of partial isometries. There are many interesting examples of C*-algebras generated by families of partial isometries, for example the C*-algebras associated ... -
(Chapter in Book, Conservation: Principles, dilemmas, and uncomfortable truths, 2009) -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper published in proceedings), ICOM-CC, 2011)In recognising a changing social future, this paper posits that the future relevance and sustainability of conservation is dependent on a re-evaluation of our professional pre-cepts, ethics, and working practices to more ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper published in proceedings), ICOM-CC, 2014)In New Zealand the identification of materials of construction of Māori textiles has important cultural and legal connotations. However the identification of aged and processed plant material in artefacts is difficult, ... -
(Journal Article, Textile History, 2011)Textiles form an important part of Māori culture, of interest to Europeans since contact with New Zealand in 1642. The need to describe Māori textiles in English has determined the terminology chosen to describe them, ...
