Impact of Short-circuit Ratio on Grid Integration of Wind Farms - A New Zealand Perspective
(2019)The high wind energy potential sites are increasingly remote from the load centers which create problems in integrating wind power plants into power grids. One of the major issues is the short-circuit radio (SSR) at the ... -
Strategic expansion of existing forest monitoring plots: a case study using a stratified GIS-based modelling approach
(Scion, 2020)Background: Understanding the relationship between sites and the plant species they support is essential for effective vegetation management. Site-species matching requires knowledge of the growth response of a given species ... -
The production of acetylene by a carbon arc
(University of Canterbury, 1979)This study continues the work with the reactor built by Ward for the production of acetylene by ablating carbon at the tip of a graphite anode with a high intensity D.C. arc, into a hydrogen atmosphere. This study attempts ... -
Structural damage evaluation of multi-story timber-steel hybrid structures through shake table tests
(2020)Timber-based hybrid structures provide a prospective solution for utilizing environmentally friendly timber material in the construction of mid-rise or high-rise structures. This study mainly focuses on structural ... -

An extrinsic-pore-containing molecular sieve film: a robust, high-throughput membrane filter
(2020)MFI type zeolites with 10 membered-ring pores (~0.55 nm) have the ability to separate p-xylene from its bulkier isomers. Despite progress in developing p-xylene selective MFI membranes, the relationship between membrane ... -
An integrated assessment of the global virtual water trade network of energy
(IOP Publishing, 2020)The global trade of energy allows for the distribution of the world’s collective energy resources and, therefore, an increase in energy access. However, this network of trade also generates a network of virtually traded ... -
Post-earthquake recovery phase of winery facilities. A case study in the Marlborough area
(2019)New Zealand wine export reached a record of NZ$1.7 billion in 2018. It constitutes an important sector of the economy of the country. Approximately 70% of New Zealand wine is produced in the Marlborough region. In recent ... -
Fate of degraded pollutants in waste gas biofiltration: An overview of carbon end-points
(Elsevier BV, 2019)© 2018 Elsevier Inc. The fate of the carbon from degraded pollutants in biofiltration is not well understood. The issue of missing carbon needs to be addressed quantitatively to better understand and model biofilter ... -
Requirements Analysis of a Serious Game for Deaf Players
(2019)Talk Town is a serious digital game to overcome social isolation in Deaf children by combating stigma associated with hearing impairments and providing modelling of social communication skills. This paper presents ... -
A SWOT Analysis of the Field of Virtual Reality for Firefighter Training
(Frontiers Media SA, 2019)Virtual reality (VR) research has gone through rapid advances and the technology has established itself as a valuable training tool in many domains. While research in the field of emergency response, and more specifically ... -
Controlled release fertiliser from pyrolysis bio-oil of pine wood residue
(University of Canterbury, 2020)Urea fertilisers improve the yield of crops, however, a significant amount of the applied fertiliser is lost to the environment leading to widespread problems. One solution to improve the efficiency of the fertiliser is ... -
The influence of urban surface type and characteristics on runoff water quality
(Elsevier BV, 2020)Untreated runoff was collected over multiple rain events from 19 impermeable urban surfaces, including nine roofs, six roads and four carparks, to quantify the differences in water quality due to surface type, age, condition ... -
Performanced-based retrofit of reinforced concrete frame buildings using alternative bracing systems
(University of Canterbury, 2020)The topic of seismic retrofit of existing buildings not only includes a wide range of earthquake and structural engineering aspects, but is also incorporated into economic and social factors. Selecting an appropriate ... -
Finite element analysis of box-girder bridges
(University of Canterbury, 1975)This thesis presents an efficient numerical method for the structural analysis of box-girder bridges. The box-girders are assumed to behave as thin spatial plate structures, for which the finite element method is shown ... -
Amazonia Terra de Florestas e Cerrado: um guia do clima, vegetacao, terrenos e solos do centro tropical da America do Sul
(Amazon publishing, 2017)Este livro fornece uma visão geral dos recursos da Amazônia em termos de variação de climas, terrenos, vegetação e solos encontrados em toda esta vasta, e muitas vezes incompreendida, região. O livro foi preparado para ... -
The behaviour of single and multiple, horizontally discharged, buoyant flows in a non-turbulent coflowing ambient fluid
(University of Canterbury, 1989)The behaviour of a single, horizontally discharged, buoyant flow in a coflowing ambient fluid is modelled numerically. The conservation of mass, momentum and buoyancy flux equations are combined with the spread assumption ... -
A study of microbial coal desulphurisation
(University of Canterbury, 1993)The main objective of this study was to determine the capability of acidophilic microorganisms in removing sulphur from coal. The study was divided into two parts as follows: Part I dealt with inorganic (pyritic) sulphur ...
