Assessing seismic collapse of structures using digital cloning techniques.
(2022)Rapid, reliable information on earthquake-affected structures' current damage/health conditions and predicting what would happen to these structures under future seismic events play a vital role in accelerating post-event ... -
Ecosystem services assessment of blue-green and grey infrastructure to support planning of sustainable and resilient cities.
(2022)Ecosystem services assessment and planning-support tools are evolving to become more widely used by city planners, designers and decision-makers in developing resilient and sustainable cities. Challenges in urban environments ... -
Estimating the risk of airborne infection with the use of respiratory support devices.
(2022)A risk model was developed utilising experimental data on exhaled particle concentrations and CFD modelling to predict the risk of infection from airborne pathogens distributed through a room on air currents. The model is ... -
Insulin sensitivity and blood glucose levels analysis of Hungarian Patients in their early phase of ICU treatment under model-based glycemic control
(2021)Critically ill intensive care unit (ICU) patients frequently experience acute insulin resistance (low insulin sen- sitivity) manifesting as stress-induced hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, especially in the early stages ... -
In-silico Simulation Based Evaluation of Insulin Prediction Method for Personalized Medical Treatment
(2021)Stress-induced hyperglycaemia is a frequent and serious issue in the intensive care causing elevated mortality rate. Insulin therapy is often applied in ICUs to normalize the patient’s blood glucose level. This treatment ... -
Association between size at birth and brain volumes at nine years in children born late preterm and at term
(2021)Background: Altered brain development is common after preterm birth, and reduced brain volume in childhood has been associated with functional impairments. However, limited information is available about perinatal factors ... -
Smaller deep grey matter volumes at nine years in children born at risk of neonatal hypoglycaemia: an MRI study
(2021)Background: Neonatal hypoglycaemia is a common metabolic disorder that may cause brain damage, most visible in the occipital region on MRI. However, it is not known whether neonatal hypoglycaemia is associated with long ... -
The first three chapters of the Grahalāghava of Gaṇeśa Daivajña : edition, translation, and mathematical and historical analysis.
(2022)The field of history of mathematics allows mathematicians the ability to trace patterns of mathematical development throughout human history, and often reconnect them to the inspirations and motivations that led to ... -
A novel method to design monolithic catalysts for non-isothermal packed bed reactors.
(2022)As the popularity of additive manufacturing grows, modern design techniques such as topology optimisation are gaining more attention. Topology optimisation has utilised the freedom offered by additive manufacturing to ... -
Intersection between natural and artificial swimmers: a scaling approach to underwater vehicle design.
(2022)Approximately 72% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, yet only 20% has been mapped [1]. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are one of the main tools for ocean exploration. The demand for AUVs is expected to ... -
The intersection of longest paths in a graph.
(2022)In this thesis we examine the famous conjecture that every three longest paths in a graph intersect, and add to the classes of graphs for which it is known that this conjecture holds. This conjecture arose from a question ... -
Liquefaction assessment methodologies for reclaimed land : a case study of the port of Wellington, New Zealand (CentrePort).
(2022)This study investigates the applicability of simplified semi-empirical and advanced dynamic liquefaction assessment methods to reclaimed soils using a comprehensive set of data for two types of reclamations at the port of ... -
Recovery of arsenic from CCA-treated timber.
(2022)To extend the service life of softwood timber, such timbers are commonly treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) – a preservative that inhibits the natural decaying process of timber. However, due to the toxic nature ... -
Seasonal, genetic and economic analysis of Eucalyptus bosistoana essential oil.
(2022)The New Zealand Dryland Forest Initiative (NZDFI) is working to establish naturally durable eucalyptus plantations in New Zealand. The prioritized species is Eucalyptus bosistoana. A central focus is to identify high ... -
Involving children in the design process of VR games aimed at improving attention in children with ADHD.
(2022)Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder which affects the ability to direct attention, and mediate impulsive behaviour. Children with ADHD tend to perform worse academically than their ... -
Investigation of the permanent deformation behaviour of hot mix asphalt under controlled confining pressure utilising the modified wheel tracker.
(2022)Permanent deformation or rutting has long been a major mode of failure of the flexible pavements. While researchers have developed multiple tests like the Wheel Tracking Device (WTD), Repeated Load Permanent Deformation ... -
Development and evaluation of construction materials for martian habitats and infrastructure utilizing in-situ resources.
(2022)Sustainability of the construction activities aimed at establishing human colonies on Mars demands extensive use of in-situ resources of the planet. Concrete, offering the advantage of casting structural elements in any ... -
Simulation of fluid flow in geothermal reservoirs.
(2022)Porosity and effective permeability in rocks are entirely or largely provided by fractures. In geology, a fracture refers to the separation of rocks into two or more pieces by a joint or fault. A reservoir is formed by ... -
Evaluation of a colinear aerial array for feed-forward error correction
(1975)A vertical array of five colinear dipoles was built and tested at 104.8 MHz. It was hoped to confirm the feasibility of using an antenna array as the mixing network in a feed-forward corrected VHF amplifier capable of ... -
Commercialisation of electric assist utility trailer
(2020)New technological innovations is currently the key aspect for sustainable development. There is a need for a more sustainable world due to factors like increase in carbon emissions (414 ppm) and transportation sector ...
