(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Earthquake activity is generally modeled using point processes as earthquake events usually occur at random times and locations. Recent studies have found it mathematically challenging and computationally complex to ...
-
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017)Signaling via the neuroamine dopamine is known to be important in insects for controlling behaviours such as sleep, arousal, motivation, locomotion, learning and memory. In the honeybee Apis mellifera pheromones and hormones ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017)The rate of biodiversity loss is not slowing despite global commitments. Conservation translocations, the intentional movement and release of organisms to restore populations, are an emerging tool to help reduce species ...
-
(Thesis, Master of Science Communication, 2017)Of all animals that pose danger to humans in this world, few are more feared than sharks. Human-shark interactions are traumatic, emotional and difficult to rationalize. While rare, human-shark interactions generate a ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper published in proceedings), International Global Navigation Satellite Systems Society (IGNSS) Symposium, 2015)With the advent of new Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs), multi-system, multi-frequency precise real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning can potentially be possible anywhere, at any time. The satellite constellations ... -
(Thesis, Master of Dietetics, 2017)Background: Obesity is a key modifiable risk factor for non-communicable diseases. The modern food environment provides easy access to inexpensive, highly palatable, energy-dense and nutrient-poor foods and beverages, which ... -
(Journal Article, Surveying and Spatial, 2017)The article is an extract from correspondence between an Otago Surveying lecturer and a graduate who worked in Christchurch, New Zealand, and then moved to South Africa. Underlying the dialogue is a critical comparison ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Plastics have been widely used as food packaging due to their excellent properties and low price. Unfortunately, plastics are not biodegradable which leads to the accumulation of plastic waste in landfills. To prevent this ...
-
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017)The Pegasus Basin off the east coast of New Zealand's North Island is a frontier basin that hosts a large gas hydrate province. The basin has a large amount of faulting, which has lead to the creation of many interesting ...
-
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Photography is one of the most widely used tools in conservation biology. In the analysis of social species, analyses of photographic identification data are used to infer the degree of association among uniquely marked ...
-
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017)The dynamic propagation of an earthquake rupture will generate inelastic deformation within its surrounding medium, culminating in the development of a fault damage zone. These are heavily fractured volumes of rock that ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017)Many populated areas in the world (e.g., Flagstaff, AZ; Auckland, NZ; Mexico City, MEX) lie within active monogenetic volcanic fields that typically contain small volcanic cones and explosive maar craters formed over the ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017)Spatial cognition plays a vital role in helping an organism respond to its environment, and thus survive. An often overlooked element of spatial cognition is the energetic costs of different routes. Most studies to date ...
-
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Overhead power lines are a common structure used to transmit and deliver electricity to consumers. The structures, comprised primarily of power poles and power lines, are frequently upgraded, repaired, and maintained by ...
-
(Thesis, Master of Science Communication, 2017)Traditionally humans have been used to narrate natural history films and to communicate the science contained in those films. A variation on this pattern can be found in natural history films where the film is narrated ...
-
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Multimorbidity is the term given to two or more concurrent diseases occurring in the same individual. Compared to singular diseases, multimorbidity is associated with significantly worse health outcomes, more complex ...
-
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2017)Background: New Zealand has an aging population with increasing demand for long-term aged care residential facilities. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms affecting 10 – 15% ... -
(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 ...
