Improved insulin sensitivity prediction method using sex information of the patients
(2021)Applying tight glycaemic control (TGC) is an essential treatment in the intensive care therapy in order to avoid stress-induced hyperglycaemia, resulting in clinical benefits. The STAR (Stochastic-TARgeted) protocol is a ... -
Determining losses in Jet Injection Subcutaneous Insulin delivery
(2021)Accurate and safe glycaemic management requires reliable delivery of insulin doses. Insulin can be delivered subcutaneously for action over a longer period of time. Needle-free jet injectors provide subcutaneous (SC) ... -
Softrigid particle mixtures: direct shear behavior from macro to micro
(2022)This paper provides a summary of the main outcomes of a research activity aimed at facilitating the use of gravelrubber mixtures (GRMs) in geotechnical engineering applications. Specifically, the results of direct shear ... -
Development of a dissipative controlled rocking system for bridge columns supported on monopiles
(2021)In this research, low-damage seismic design detailing is developed for bridge columns supported by monopile foundations. The low-damage system aims to minimise, and potentially eliminate, the repair time and costs to a ... -
Experimental seismic characterisation of gravel-granulated tyre mixtures and design implications
(2021)Worldwide, due to the large amount of end-of-life tyre (ELT) stockpiles, reusing and recycling of ELTs in civil engineering applications have become a priority, significantly contributing to lessen environmental and ... -
Deep Learning for Spatiotemporal Anomaly Forecasting: A Case Study of Marine Heatwaves
(2021)Spatiotemporal data have unique properties and require specific considerations. Forecasting spatiotemporal processes is a difficult task because the data are high-dimensional, often are limited in extent, and temporally ... -
A Minor in Biomedical Engineering to Improve Diversity in a Mechanical Engineering Program
(2022)As a means to increase female, Māori, and Pasifika student enrollment in a Mechanical Engineering program in New Zealand, a minor in Biomedical Engineering was developed. Before the minor was introduced, female ... -
Monitoring of Lateral Stiffness Changes in a Real Instrumented Building under Multiple Earthquakes Using Hysteresis Loop Analysis
(2021)The BNZ building in Wellington, New Zealand was significantly damaged, and eventually demolished, due to the cumulative impact of three main earthquakes between 2013 and 2016. Although the building was equipped with a ... -
Lower and upper design limit force estimation for lead extrusion damper: A classical extrusion modelling approach
(2021)To reduce seismic vulnerability and the economic impact of seismic structural damage, it is important to protect structures using supplemental energy dissipation devices. High force to volume (HF2V) devices are supplemental ... -
Experimental validation of a low-damage rocking precast concrete cladding system
(Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, 2022)This paper presents experimental validation of an innovative precast concrete cladding panel system that can resist design level inter-story drifts through 'rocking' of panels without incurring any significant damage. ... -
Using a Drone Formation with Sectored Antennas in Search-And-Rescue: Heuristics for Orienting Drones and Moving the Formation
(2022)Recently there has been interest in using drones/unmanned aerial vehicles in search-and-rescue applications. Here we apply a formation of drones equipped with sectorised antennae to navigate to a transmitter using ... -
Preliminary study: development of sport climbing hold measurement system for performance analysis
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2021)Sport climbing performance analysis requires knowledge of the specific motions and the interactions of the athlete with the climbing holds. The objective of this research is to develop a lowcost measurement system for ... -
Genetic variation in wood properties of mid-rotation age Eucalyptus globoidea
(Scion, 2021)Background: Eucalyptus globoidea Blakely produces ground-durable (Class 2) and stiff wood and has the potential to be grown in New Zealand to supply high-value environmentally-friendly timber for use as posts in the ... -
Liquefaction potential of sand-gravel mixtures: experimental observations
(2022)Case histories from at least 27 earthquakes worldwide (including three from New Zealand: 1929 Mw7.6 Murchison earthquake; 2010 Mw 7.1 Darfield earthquake; and 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake) have indicated that liquefaction ... -
Energy Considerations for Estimating Displacements of Oscillators with Different Hysteresis Shapes
(2022)This paper evaluates the number of cycles of deformation, Nc, of single degree of freedom (SDOF) structures with different hysteresis loop shapes subjected to earthquake loading because this influences both the ...
