Ductility of dowelled New Zealand Douglas-Fir CLT connections under monotonic and cyclic loading
(2019)Cross-laminated Timber (CLT) is gaining popularity in Australasia as a building material for multi-storey structures. For multi-storey timber buildings located in seismic areas, designing strong but ductile hold-downs for ... -
A preliminary study on cyclic behaviour of SFS dowelled connections in glulam frames
(2019)SFS self-drilling dowels are a special type of metal fasteners in timber construction which can go through relatively thin steel plates and timber members without pre-drilling. The application of SFS dowels makes wood-steel ... -
Aligning Environmental Engineering Education with National Needs
(2018)Structural, geotechnical, and fire engineers in New Zealand are looking to move towards a registration system based on a competency assessment against a specific Body of Knowledge, and supported by Masters degrees that are ... -
Reactive Magnesium Oxide Products: Carbon Neutral Cement for the Future
(https://concretenz.org.nz/page/Conference_2018, 2018)With the large carbon dioxide emission in the Portland cement industry, the need to mitigate the emission and the intention to achieve carbon storage lead the development of alternatives to the conventional Portland cement. ... -
Measuring the anthropomorphism, animacy, likeability, perceived intelligence and perceived safety of robots

The Relationship Between Emotion Models and Artificial Intelligence
(2008)Emotions play a central role in most forms of natural human interaction so we may expect that computational methods for the processing and expression of emotions will play a growing role in human-computer interaction. ... -
Design Methodology is not Design Science
(2007)This paper argues that design methodology cannot become the science of design. A method does not constitute a science. Moreover, in the same way that biology is not a science of how biologists work, design science cannot ... -
Neurofeedback Gaming for Wellbeing
(2007)In this paper we discuss our vision on future neurofeedback therapy. We analyze problems of the current situation and debate for a change in focus towards a vision in which neurofeedback therapy will ultimately be as ... -
Culture Matters: A Study on Presence in an Interactive Movie
(Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2008)A cross cultural study was conducted to test the influences of different cultural backgrounds on the user's presence experience in interacting with a distributed interactive movie. The effects of embodied interaction on ... -
Designing for experience: Arousing boredom to evoke predefined user behaviour
(2008)In the light of Cultural Computing, this study influences user affect and behaviour by touching upon core values of Western culture. We created an augmented reality environment in which users experience a predefined sequence ... -
LEGO Pictorial Scales for Assessing Affective Responses
(SPRINGER-VERLAG BERLIN, 2015)© IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2015. This article presents the design and evaluation of novel types of pictorial scales for assessing emotional response based on LEGO Minifigures. We describe ... -
Developing Novel Extensions to Support Prototyping for Interactive Social Robots
(2009)Lego Mindstorms NXT is a platform highly suitable for prototyping in the field of interactive social robotics. During a technology masterclass at Eindhoven University of Technology students from the department of Industrial ... -
Agents with faces - What can we learn from LEGO Minifigures?
(2013)Emotional facial expressions are essential for agents. The LEGO company developed hundreds of facial expressions for their Minifigures, which are often the centerpiece of LEGO construction. We investigate and present a ... -
Robots In The Theatre And The Media
(Philips Design, 2013)Robots frequently feature in the movies and occasionally in the theatre. Their presence in the media is of major importance on how users interact with them. Due to the scarcity of robots in everyday life, most of ... -
EEG headset for neurofeedback therapy - Enabling easy use in the home environment
(Scitepress, 2008)In this article we present the design of an EEG headset together with the context and vision that motivated us to undertake the described design work. There is a variety of potential advantages and potential difficulties ... -
Using Passive Direction and Displacement Dependent (D3) Viscous Damping Device to enhance seismic performance
(2018)This paper outlines the concept, development and experimental validations of a new and innovative passive Direction and Displacement Dependent (D3) viscous damping device. The new passive D3 viscous device can provide ... -
Numerical and experimental validation of Passive Direction and Displacement Dependent (D3) viscous damping device
(2018)This paper outlines the concept, development and experimental validations of a new and innovative passive Direction and Displacement Dependent (D3) viscous damping device. The new passive D3 viscous device can provide ... -
Multi-Event, Multi-Structure Experimental Validation of Hysteresis Loop Analysis SHM
(2018)Reinforced concrete (RC) and steel moment resistance frame (SMRF) structures are common in seismic zones. However, damage assessment after earthquakes can be problematic and subjective. This research applies fully automated ... -
Hybrid re-centering viscous dissipaters : spectral analysis and experimental validation
(2018)Mitigation of the impact of earthquake ground motions on the structures relies to a great extent on the use of supplemental dissipaters. A mechanism capable of repeatable and consistent energy dissipation can potentially ... -
The effects of lactose on calcium phosphate precipitation
(2018)Calcium phosphate, as the main insoluble component of milk and dairy products, has been always of interest in dairy research. When milk is concentrated by evaporation or reverse osmosis, the calcium phosphate and lactose ...
