(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)The association between enhanced phytoplankton productivity and the Subtropical Front (STF) around New Zealand was investigated using remote sensing images derived from the MODIS-Aqua sensor. The STF is a major circumpolar ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Background: In New Zealand (NZ), the prevalence of dialysis is increasing with Māori and Pacific people over-represented. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for the majority of deaths in the NZ hemodialysis ...

(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017)Nutritional studies typically assess dietary intake of sugars using self-reporting techniques (i.e. diet records, 24-h recalls, and food frequency questionnaires). These techniques, however, are prone to misreporting, ...
-
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Invasive species are a growing problem worldwide. The effects of these invasive species are wide-ranging and include negative impacts both on ecosystem services – such as air quality, available recreational space, reduced ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science Communication, 2017)Research into place identity and attachment is commonly linked to the formative influence of places from our childhood, but what about the places we interact with in our professional adult lives? This thesis investigates ...

(Thesis, Master of Arts, 2015)Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease where a reduction in hand dexterity affects fine finger movements, extending the time it takes to perform tasks while increasing the difficulty of completing daily ...
-
(Thesis, Master of Physical Education, 2017)Background: Heat is a major form of stress within exercise, though its value in driving adaptation is not well understood. Acutely, various aspects of muscle function appear to respond differently to changes in muscle ...

Socio-Cultural Effects of Parents' Cultural Identification on Children's Theory-of-Mind Development (Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)The influence of culture on theory-of-mind development is ambiguous. Despite there being increasing interest in the influence of socio-cultural effects on children’s theory-of-mind development, research has typically ...

(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)In the story of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease, Amyloid-Beta (Aβ) is believed to play a key role. However, evidence suggests that metal ions, in particular Zn2+, may have strong modulatory, or even causative effects ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Understanding the spatial structure of populations including variability in reproductive biology among subpopulations is a key objective in fisheries ecology. The aim of the present study was to identify the small scale ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)My thesis documents the first-ever paleoseismic trench investigation of the Akatore Fault, which has long been considered the most active fault to exist near Dunedin City. Two trenches were excavated across the fault in ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017)Bee communities in New Zealand are composed of native and introduced bees, including honey bees (Apis mellifera), which have been in the country for over 100 years. While there is evidence from other countries that honey ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Exergy analysis has been shown to be a valuable method of assessing energy use on a national scale. Exergy analysis measures the work potential of mass and energy flows, and therefore more accurately identifies areas with ...
-
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)This project undertook a model-based inversion of spectral data for remote sensing of water constituents, from satellite based hyperspectral sensors. As the atmosphere effects dominate the observed spectrum, a parameterised ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science Communication, 2017)Globally, there is at least one registered form of emergency or post-coital contraception registered in 146 countries, with a further 22 countries importing emergency contraceptive products. By far the most commonly accessed ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017)We develop a theory of how the functional design of the electrosensory system in sharks reflects the inevitability of noise in high-precision measurements, and how the Central Nervous System may have developed an efficient ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science Communication, 2017)Conservation is a complex and sometimes controversial endeavour, which occupies a unique position at the junction of science, society and the natural world. Increasingly, conservation practitioners are using art as a way ...
-
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Estuaries represent a transitional environment influenced by both terrestrial and marine processes. There are several types of estuary defined by their connectivity with the marine environment that are found along coastlines ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Adult neurogenesis occurs in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus, resulting in the addition of functionally integrated neurons. These new cells go through a period of increased excitability around 4-6 weeks after ...
