• Extraction and fractionation of cannabinoids from Cannabis Sativa 

  Tallon S; Moreno T; Montanes F; Watson MJ (2018)

  There is a rapidly growing market for therapeutic and medicinal products containing cannabinoids from Cannabis, driven in part by a growing acceptance of their therapeutic benefits, and by global regulatory change that ...

• Variation in phosphorus release from different types of waste activated sludge 

  Pokhrel S; Milke M; Bello Mendoza R (2018)

• Leveraging large-scale physics-based simulations to improve immediate response after earthquakes 

  Bellagamba X; Bradley B (2019)

• Preliminary examination of kinematic rupture parameter variability in simulated ground motions 

  Neill S; Lee R; Bradley B; Graves R (2019)

  This paper investigates the effects of variability in source rupture parameters on site-specific physics-based simulated ground motions, ascertained through the systematic analysis of ground motion intensity measures. ...

• Investigating the role of clay layers in containing liquefied soils 

  O'Connell C; Lowe E; Stringer M (2019)

  During the 2010 - 2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence, extensive liquefaction was observed in many areas of Christchurch city and its surroundings, causing widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure. While existing ...

• Assessment of cumulative inelastic displacement demand in energy dissipation systems using the Grip ‘n’ Grab tension only mechanism 

  Cook J; Rodgers G; MacRae G (2019)

  A ratcheting, tension-only ‘Grip ‘n’ Grab’ (GNG) device has been developed to offer resistance to loading in tension, while offering negligible resistance to compressive motion. This system can be used in conjunction ...

• Robots can be more than Black and White: Understanding Racial Bias toward Robots 

  Addison A; Yogeeswaran K; Bartneck, C. (ACM, 2019)

• Value extraction from waste in the steelmaking industry 

  Martin-Treceno S; Bishop C; Marshall A; Watson MJ (2018)

  As the standard of living improves worldwide, the current emphasis on sustainable growth is creating new opportunities in traditional industrial practices. In steelmaking, where the production of solid waste is inevitable, ...

• 3D seismic response with soil heterogeneity and wave scattering in OpenSees 

  de al Torre C; McGann C; Bradley B; Pletzer A (2019)

  This paper discusses the on-going development of a 3D site response analysis framework that considers three important non-1D aspects of seismic site response: soil heterogeneity (spatial variability), bidirectional input ...

• Preliminary soil structure interaction analysis of an instrumented Wellington building 

  McGann C; Dong C; Krauss K; Wotherspoon L (2019)

  This paper presents the initial development and validation for a numerical model of a building in Wellington that was instrumented with strong motion recording devices during a number of large earthquakes and aftershocks. ...
