Understanding population fluctuations through volunteered geographic information and novel indicators: The experience of Rakiura, Stewart Island, New Zealand
(2019)In an era of heterogeneous data, novel methods and volunteered geographic information provide opportunities to understand how people interact with a place. However, it is not enough to simply have such heterogeneous ... -
Identification of Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of BIM Software Selection: A Combined Approach of FCM and Fuzzy DEMATEL
(MDPI AG, 2021)<jats:p>The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has seen a significant rise in the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the last few years. BIM software have launched with numerous ... -
A review of kowhai (Sophora spp.) and its potential for commercial forestry
(Scion, 2021)<jats:p>Background: Demand for imported sawn timbers in New Zealand has increased over the last decade, reflecting the lack of New Zealand-grown, naturally durable timber in the domestic market. Therefore, a market opportunity ... -
Spatial data science: Closing the human-spatial computing-environment loop
(2019)Over the last decade, the term spatial computing has grown to have two different, though not entirely unrelated, definitions. The first definition of spatial computing stems from industry, where it refers primarily to ... -
Corrosion fatigue of 2024-T4 aluminium alloy in contact with superphosphate fertilizer
(University of Canterbury, 1968)The aim of this research was to establish the effects of superphosphate fertilizer on the fatigue life of 2024 = T4 aluminium alloy. Rotating beam, direct stress and reverse bend fatigue tests were carried out on both ... -
A survey of gorse weevil activities in Ashley Forest.
(University of Canterbury, 1973)The gorse seed weevil (Apion ulicis) attacked 74% of seed pods sampled from six gorse infested sites in Ashley Forest, and destroyed a high percentage of seed within each pod. Statistical tests showed that the weevil did ... -
Hydrodynamic loading with shifting stimulus in arrays
(2020)Conventional atomic force microscope (AFM) comprises of a single cantilever with piezoelectric base excitation and optical read-out. The micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) is raster scanned over a sample surface to ... -
A method for observing ongoing patient respiratory behaviour with the NARX model
(2020)Pulmonary models have been used to capture and discriminate the respiratory mechanics of patients with pulmonary dysfunction [1]. These models vary in nature for highly detailed and complex models [2] to simple, lumped ... -

A framework to assess the reliability of a multi-purpose reservoir under uncertainty in land use.
(2019)Available fresh water resources are becoming scarce due to higher demands by industrial, recreational, municipal, and agricultural sectors. Reservoirs are one of the most efficient types of structures used to manage water ... -
Pyrolysis kinetics of chemically treated and torrefied radiata pine identified through thermogravimetric analysis
(Elsevier BV, 2021)This study investigates the effects of separate and combined chemical (acid and alkaline pretreatment) and torrefaction pretreatment of radiata pine biomass on the pyrolysis kinetic parameters using thermogravimetric ... -
Using Motivational Interviewing to Assist Engineering Students in Finding a More Inclusive Way Forward
(ASEE, 2021)Many minority and under-represented minority University engineering students are experiencing a chilly climate, which is partially a result of experiencing higher levels of micro-aggressions, harassment, discrimination ... -
Platforms for High-Throughput Screening and Force Measurements on Fungi and Oomycetes
(2021)Pathogenic fungi and oomycetes give rise to a significant number of animal and plant diseases. While the spread of these pathogenic microorganisms is increasing globally, emerging resistance to antifungal drugs is making ... -
The interaction of fluid transients with pipeline anomalies
(University of Canterbury, 2021)A functional and secure water supply is essential for supporting social and economic development. However, although pipelines account for the majority of water infrastructure assets and require a significant amount of ... -
The development of an in-silico model of the human head for the simulation of traumatic brain injury.
(University of Canterbury, 2021)The anatomy of the human head is highly complex, consisting of several different layers of biological material. The layers in the brain are both solid and liquid. The tissues and fluids which are present in the head have ... -
Tree Canopy Cover in Wellington City and Suburbs, New Zealand
(University of Canterbury, 2021)Tree canopy cover (TCC) is an important way of describing urban forests and is necessary to assess the ecosystem services they provide. Tree canopy cover was estimated for Wellington City and Suburbs using an object-based ...
