A cross-cultural study on attitudes towards robots
(Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2005)This study presents the result of a cross-cultural study of negative attitude towards robots. A questionnaire was presented to Dutch, Chinese and Japanese participants based on the Negative Attitude towards Robots Scale ... -
Towards adaptive provision of examples during problem solving.
(Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in Education, 2019)Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) are effective in supporting learning, as shown in numerous studies. The goal of our project is to develop an adaptive strategy that would be capable of identifying situations during ... -
An innovative and eco-friendly foundation system to enhance the resilience of low-rise buildings
(2019)A multi-disciplinary geo-structural-environmental engineering project funded by the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is being carried out at the University of Canterbury. The project aims at developing ... -
Phosphorrückgewinnung - Situation in Neuseeland

Pericolosita' da liquefazione valutata mediante analisi statistica di geodatabase
(2018)La pericolosità associata ad un dato fenomeno costituisce uno dei fattori più importanti e difficili da quantificare nelle analisi di rischio, a maggior ragione quando si tratta di fenomeni complessi come nel caso della ... -
A Digital Prism-based Wavefront Sensor Testbench
(2019)In this paper, we present a simulation framework for a digital prism-based wavefront sensor. In simulation, we generate a digital prism wavefront sensor (3-sided, 4-sided and cone) and compute the linearity of the ... -
Spatially Balanced Sampling
(2017)Spatially balanced sampling is an emerging area in statistical sampling. These designs are popular because they are one way to ensure the selected sample has spatial coverage over the entire survey area. This feature of ... -
Where do New Zealand Female Engineers come from? Insights from a quantitative analysis
(2018)CONTEXT Females are under-represented in the New Zealand engineering student cohort. Increased female engagement in engineering subjects is a target of many tertiary education providers. The lack of diversity in engineering ... -
An analysis of the impact of the inclusion of expiration data on the fitting of a predictive pulmonary elastance model
(2018)Mechanical ventilation is a primary therapy for patients with respiratory failure. However, incorrect ventilator settings can cause lung damage. Optimising ventilation while minimising risk is complex in practice. A common ... -
Model-based Method in Assessing Breathing Effort in Mechanically Ventilated Patients in Malaysian ICU Hospital
(2018)Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) required mechanical ventilation (MV) for breathing support. However, some MV patients encountered spontaneous breathing (SB) efforts while fully sedated which can ... -
Recycling of end-of-life tyres in civil engineering applications: Environmental Implications
(2019)Annually in New Zealand, 5 million end-of-life (ELT) tyres are disposed of through landfill, stockpiles, illegally disposed of or are otherwise unaccounted for, giving rise to piles of waste tyres that do not readily ... -
Towards a New Delivery Approach to Improve the Performance of Non-Structural Elements in New Zealand
(2018)Observations made in past earthquakes, in New Zealand and around the world, have highlighted the vulnerability of non-structural elements such as facades, ceilings, partitions and services. Damage to these elements can ... -
Cost-Effective Consideration Of Non-Structural Elements: Lessons From The Canterbury Earthquakes
(2018)By closely examining the performance of a 22-storey steel framed building in Christchurch subject to various earthquakes over the past seven years, it is shown that a number of lessons can be learnt regarding the cost-effective ... -
Accounting for the flexibility of beam-column joints within New Zealand steel moment-resisting frame structures
(2018)In New Zealand there currently appears to be no simplified, effective method of analysing the rotational stiffness of beam-column joints in steel moment resisting frame structures. Many practicing engineers use simplified ... -
A simplified method to select effective seismic retrofit for steel buildings based on damage cost
(2018)Recent earthquakes have highlighted the vulnerability of nonstructural components. Nonstructural damage causes serious injuries and economic loss1) but current seismic design methodologies consider nonstructural damages ...
