Electrical-Impedance biofeedback instrument for swallowing rehabilitation
(2022)Dysphagia is the difficulty or abnormality of swallowing. It is usually a consequence of another health condition and may be present in any of the phases of swallowing. The cause may be structural or neurological. The ... -
Wavelength selective Perovskite solar cells
(2022)Perovskite solar cells (PvSCs) have attracted numerous attention due to their low manufacturing cost and high efficiency. The efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PvSCs) depend not only on the perovskite ... -
Importance of Leakage Magnetic Field and Fringing Flux in Surge Protector Design
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)Transient surge absorption capability of su percapacitors is practically implemented in a commercial surge protector known as supercapacitor assisted surge absorber (SCASA). It is a low component count high per formance ... -
Design Insights to Support the Development of Effective Virtual Reality Nicotine and Vaping Dependency Therapy Scenarios for Future Telehealth
(IntechOpen, 2022)Vaping, or the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), has grown rapidly worldwide and is becoming an epidemic among youth in many countries. Invented as a method to help to quit smoking, ENDS are very popular, ... -
Software Architecture for Location-Based Games Designed for Social Interaction in Public Space
(Springer International Publishing, 2022)Location-based games (LBGs) are becoming increasingly more popular, especially those that focus on social interaction in public space. They have been successful to various extents at bringing players together to interact ... -
Rapid landscape assessment of representativeness for wildlife conservation, Hokitika Ecological District, New Zealand
(1992)Hokitika Ecological District was selected to test a methodology for the rapid evaluation of representativeness in a fragmented landscape. The methodology was based on the use of previous vegetation and soil survey reports ... -
Sustainable food waste management: synthesizing engineered biochar for CO2 capture
(2022)Upcycling of food waste into engineered biochar for practical CO2 capture is beneficial to simultaneously achieve sustainable food waste management and mitigate climate change. -
Recent advances in the imidazolium-based ionic liquid-templated synthesis of microporous zeolites
(2022)Zeolites are one of the most important materials in the family of solid catalysts. Research on zeolite synthesis via designing new structure-directing agents (SDAs) is gaining continuous attention. Ionic liquid is a promising ... -
Minimising the use of costly control measures in an epidemic elimination strategy: a simple mathematical model
(Elsevier BV, 2022)Countries such as New Zealand, Australia and Taiwan responded to the Covid-19 pandemic with an elimination strategy. This involves a combination of strict border controls with a rapid and effective response to eliminate ... -
Nonparametric estimation of the random coefficients model through regularized maximum likelihood,
(2022)Nonparametric Estimation of the Random Coefficients Model through Regularized Maximum Likelihood (RMLE) is explored. Chapter 1 establishes the underlying theory of the method and convergence rates. Simulation results ... -
Application of the InTIME Methodology for the Transition of Office Buildings to Low Carbon—A Case Study
(MDPI AG, 2022)The COP21 Paris Agreement requires urgent abatement of 80% of the current fossil-based energy consumption to keep global warming below dangerous levels. Heating loads in commercial buildings can be reduced by retrofitting ... -
A sequential optimization-simulation approach for planning the transition to the low carbon freight system with case study in the North Island of New Zealand
(MDPI AG, 2021)Freight movement has always been, and always will be an essential activity. Freight transport is one of the most challenging sectors to transition to net-zero carbon. Traffic assignment, mode allocation, network planning, ... -
Geographic economic accessibility (GEA) for freight transport
(2018)Freight transportation has always been essential for trade and prosperity. The geographic economic accessibility to trade has expanded with modern use of fossil fuels. Geographic economic accessibility (GEA) is a measure ... -
New Zealand transition engineering retro-analysis
(2019)To meet New Zealand’s emission commitments, the government has prioritized the up-take of Electric Vehicles (EVs), as personal transportation is a large consumer of fossil fuels. Extrapolating figures from official sources ... -
A freight distribution exercise
(2020)Current state-of-the-art freight transport models capture behaviour-level processes driven by decisions on logistics aspects (i.e. choice of transport chain) and micro-level terminal operations (i.e. crane operation). Yet, ... -
Spin coating on a non-axisymmetric curved substrate.
(2022)Spin coating is used to apply functional and protective coatings in the manufacturing of a wide range of electrical and optical components including solar panels, light-emitting diode (LED) displays, and microprocessors. ... -
Comparison of Covid-19 patient management and outcome in a tertiary care center during the first and second waves of the pandemic
(2021)Conclusion: In our hospital, the main therapeutic changes between W1 and W2 were use of steroids for hypoxemic patients and HFNO, while fewer patients received MV fort shorter durations and 4.7% of W2 patients were ... -
Numerical Evaluation of Bell-Shaped Proportional Damping Model for Softening Structures
(CIMNE, 2022)A new type of proportional damping models, called bell-shaped proportional damping model, has recently been proposed. This new model has not only addressed the spurious damping forces, but also maintained the same order ...
