Investigating the effect of nudges for improving comment quality in active video watching
(Elsevier BV, 2022)Developing and maintaining constructive engagement is a crucial challenge in learning by watching videos. AVW-Space is an online video-based learning platform which enhances student engagement via note-taking and ... -
Wellington basin amplification: research goals and update from the NSHM programme
(2021)In Wellington, 3D basin amplification effects observed at 1 – 2 second spectral periods were identified as one factor likely to have exacerbated damage to mid-rise structures during the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake ... -
Nonlinear Finite Element Modelling of HF2V lead extrusion damping devices: A generic design tool
(2021)Supplemental energy dissipation devices are increasingly used to protect structures, limiting loads transferred to structures and absorbing significant response energy without sacrificial structural damage. The displacement ... -
Wooden posts – a review
(University of Canterbury, 2020)Roundwood (posts and poles) is an established wood product, making use of smaller diameter logs. Little literature on post production, the market size and value is available. While the New Zealand Dryland Forests ... -
Assessment of E. globoideawood properties at Atkinson
(University of Canterbury, 2020)EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report refers to the SWP work plan WP060 ‘Wood quality assessment of E. globoidea’. While growth characteristics of E. globoidea compare favourably to other eucalypt species in the NZDFI programme, ... -
Morphology control of ionic-liquid-templated ZSM-22 and ZSM-5 zeolites using a two-step process and its effect on toluene methylation
(2021)ZSM-22 (TON) and ZSM-5 (MFI) zeolites were synthesized using 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([EMIM]Br) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([BMIM]Br), respectively, as structure-directing agents. A two-step ... -
Higher Insulin Resistance in Female ICU patients
(BMC, 2020)Introduction: Sex differences in the metabolic response to critical illness are unknown. This retrospective analysis examines potential differences in the evolution of insulin sensitivity (SI) and its variability (%ΔSI) ... -
Treatment performance variability in two at-source stormwater treatment systems
(2020)Stormwater treatment systems (STSs) are being integrated across our urban landscapes in New Zealand and around the world with the intent of contaminant removal. Downstream water quality and ecological health improvements ... -
Feasibility of waste mussel shells as engineered living roof substrate component
(2020)Living roofs are an increasingly popular strategy to reduce the demand on stormwater drainage networks, and mitigate the harmful effects of urban stormwater contaminants on receiving waterways. In addition to their direct ... -
Assessment of boundary conditions for 2D geotechnical site-response analysis with soil heterogeneity
(2021)This paper examines various boundary condition assumptions for modelling 2D geotechnical site response, which requires a more sophisticated treatment of the boundary and loading conditions than what is typically required ... -
Are stronger, stiffer buildings indeed costlier? Case study of RC frame buildings
(NZSEE, 2021)Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings designed as per current seismic codes/standards are expected to satisfy “life safety” in a design level earthquake, but modern buildings have suffered significant damage in recent ... -
Performance of precast cladding panels with rocking connections under lateral cyclic loading
(2020)Several concrete cladding panels were damaged during the 2011 Christchurch Earthquakes in New Zealand. Damage included partial collapse of panels, rupture of joint sealants, cracking and corner crushing. Installation ... -
Application of genetic algorithms to select a ground motion set for conducting HC-IDA
(2020)This paper describes the application of genetic algorithms to select a generic set of ground motions that can be used to conduct hazard-consistent incremental dynamic analysis (HC-IDA) on a wide range of structures located ... -
Subradiant resonances in Au and Ag bipartite lattices in the visible spectrum
(American Vacuum Society, 2021)Subradiant surface lattice resonances are of interest due to their remarkably high quality factors. In this work, these high quality resonances are experimentally investigated in the visible spectrum with Au and Ag bipartite ... -
Sparse point cloud registration and aggregation with mesh‐based generalized iterative closest point
(Wiley, 2021)Accurate registration is critical for robotic mapping and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Sparse or non-uniform point clouds can be very challenging to register, even in ideal environments. Previous research ... -
Recovering algebraic curves from L-functions of Hilbert class fields
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020)In this paper, we prove that a smooth hyperbolic projective curve over a finite field can be recovered from L-functions associated to the Hilbert class field of the curve and its constant field extensions. As a consequence, ... -
Locally recoverable codes on surfaces
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)A linear error correcting code is a subspace of a finite-dimensional space over a finite field with a fixed coordinate system. Such a code is said to be locally recoverable with locality r if, for every coordinate, its ...
