• Advances in zero-based consistent deconvolution and evaluation of human sensory-motor function 

  Watson, Russell William (University of Canterbury, 1994)

  Work in two separate research areas is presented. The two areas are the development of a new two-dimensional (2-D) zero-based deconvolution algorithm and the evaluation of human sensory-motor (S-M) function in a 2-D ...

• Zero-based ensemble deconvolution and EEG spectral topography. 

  Satherley, Brenda Lee (University of Canterbury, 1994)

  This thesis presents theoretical and practical aspects of two distinctly different topics - zero­ based two-dimensional ensemble blind deconvolution and spectral topography of the electroencephalogram. Reconstructing ...

• Development, functionalisation, and characterisation of triply periodic minimum surface hydrogels for solid-tolerant chromatography. 

  Gordon, Anne Mary (University of Canterbury, 2020)

  The work presented in this thesis demonstrates the development of the first chromatography columns for solid-tolerant chromatography produced using 3D-printing methods. This work developed from the rapidly evolving 3D-printing ...

• The residual strength of soils and landslide stability 

  Smith, Nicholas Rex (University of Canterbury, 1991)

  This thesis studies the influence of the residual shear strength of soils on the stability of landslides. The effect of rate of shear on the residual strength of soils is studied in a modified Bromhead ring shear ...

• Fragility based methodology for evaluating time-dependent seismic performance of post-tensioned Timber Frames 

  Granello G; Palermo AG; Broccardo, M.; Pampanin, S. (2020)

• The strength of concrete under compressive load 

  Gaerty, L. (University of Canterbury, 1984)

  A background literature survey pertinent to the behaviour of plain concrete under short-term compressive load is presented. This yields little to suggest that any consis·tent "understanding" of the overall strength/defor ...

• The vapour boron timber treatment process. 

  Evans, J. M. (University of Canterbury, 1995)

  In 1994 approximately 400 000 m³ of Pinus radiata D. Don was treated with boron based preservatives. The current preservative process involves either the immersion or spraying of green timber with concentrated boric acid ...

• Discrete system analysis using continuous Padé approximations. 

  Hamilton-Jenkins, M. A. (University of Canterbury, 1983)

  Continuous systems are often emulated by discrete systems. This thesis analyses such emulations by substituting ans-domain Padé approximant for the time delay operator. The result is a "quasi-continuous" model of the ...

• Śrīpati’s arithmetic in the Siddhāntaśekhara and Gaṇitatilakac: edition, translation, and mathematical and historical analysis. 

  Rev. Jambugahapitiye Dhammaloka Thero (University of Canterbury, 2019)

  The literature on the exact sciences in Sanskrit in the second millennium is significant from a historical point of view because of the emergence of innovative ideas, systematization of the traditional knowledge, advanced ...

• Footfall vibration modelling and in-situ testing of timber concrete composite floors. 

  Marshall, Jack (University of Canterbury, 2020)

  This thesis presents the findings from an investigation of the vibration performance of in use Timber Concrete Composite flooring systems under walking loads. The investigation includes the in-situ collection and processing ...

• Bilinear control of a binary distillation column. 

  Fletcher, Andrew John (University of Canterbury, 1991)

  Bilinear systems are an attractive alternative to the traditional linearisation approach for many chemical plant items. Techniques for the identification and control of discrete time bilinear systems were examined and ...

• Pressure loss through rock fracture intersections 

  Hermawan D; Brooks T; Sellier M (2018)

  Over time, the extraction and reinjection of geothermal fluid to generate electricity results in a decrease in the overall pressure of a geothermal reservoir. This results in the precipitation of minerals that cause blockages ...

• Spatial scale perception in immersive Virtual Reality. 

  Zhang, Jingjing (University of Canterbury, 2020)

  Virtual Reality (VR) technology can offer users new insights and applications for a wide range of domains, even supporting experiences which are difficult or impossible to achieve in the physical world. One such example ...

• Bar buckling in ductile reinforced concrete walls : causes, consequences and control. 

  Tripathi, Mayank (University of Canterbury, 2020)

  Flexurally-dominated reinforced concrete (RC) walls are widely used as an effective lateral load- resisting system for building systems located in seismically active regions. Observations from past earthquakes in Chile ...

• Assessing the use of immersive environments for preparing teachers to address challenging student behaviors. 

  Gopalakrishnan, Aishvarya (University of Canterbury, 2020)

  We do not think enough about how challenging behavior from students can affect teachers. Classrooms can be high-risk environments where actions and reactions can have severe consequences. Students’ behaviors are a socio- ...
