The Effect of Vibration and Low-Frequency Audio on Full-Body Haptic Sensations
(University of Canterbury. Human Interface Technology Laboratory New Zealand (HIT Lab NZ), 2015)We report on two experiments that deploy low-frequency audio and strong vibrations to induce haptic-like sensations throughout the human body. Vibration is quite frequently deployed in immersive systems, for example ... -

Ongoing development of a near-surface shear wave velocity (Vs) model for Christchurch using a region-specific CPT-Vs correlation
(University of Canterbury. Civil and Natural Resources Engineering, 2015)This paper summarizes the development of a region-wide surficial shear wave velocity model based on the combination of the large high-spatial-density database of cone penetration test (CPT) logs in and around Christchurch, ... -

Entrained flow gasification of wood pyrolysis oil
(University of Canterbury. Chemical and Process Engineering, 2015)Densification of biomass into pyrolysis oil for gasification is gaining increasing interest. The major advantages of this approach include costs reduction for transportation and storage, easier feedstock handling as well ... -
Experimental evaluation of biomass devolatilization in steam gasification in a dual fluidized bed gasifier
(University of Canterbury. Chemical and Process Engineering, 2015)Research Objectives The objective of this research is to fundamentally study the initial devolatilization in steam gasification in a 100kw dual fluidized bed (DFB) gasifier. To investigate the products distribution in ... -
Respiratory mechanics variation during partially supported ventilation
(University of Canterbury. Mechanical Engineering, 2015)Respiratory mechanics vary breath-to-breath during mechanical ventilation (MV), and increases during partially supported ventilation modes when patients exhibit spontaneous breathing (SB). While increased variability is ... -
Insulin sensitivity as a marker for reduced outcome in the NICU
(University of Canterbury. Mechanical Engineering, 2015)Hyperglycemia in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is associated with mortality and morbidity. This research aims to use machine learning methods to provide a prediction of outcomes in hyperglycemic neonates, based on ... -
Screening eucalypts for growth-strain
(University of Canterbury. School of Forestry, 2015)Eucalypt species are fast-growing and can produce high quality timber for appearance and structural products including Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL). Eucalypts can contain large growth-strains which are associated with log ... -

The effect of temperature, substrate concentration and water content on carbon recovery and end-points in biofiltration
(University of Canterbury. Chemical and Process Engineering, 2015)This biofiltration study investigated the fate of carbon as influenced by temperature, water tension and pollutant concentrations. Soil biofilters degrading toluene were operated with no supplemental nutrient addition. ... -
Seismic Performance of Existing New Zealand Shear Wall Structures
(University of Canterbury. Civil and Natural Resources Engineering, 2015)Assessment of the structural performance of existing buildings requires a better understanding of seismic performance of the structural components designed according to different versions of design codes. This study provides ... -
Influenza della composizione granulometrica sul comportamento tenso-deformativo dei terreni sabbiosi
(University of Canterbury. Civil and Natural Resources Engineering, 2009)La ricerca intrapresa, di carattere sperimentale e teorico ha l'obiettivo di analizzare l'influenza della composizione granulometrica sulle caratteristiche fisiche e sulla risposta meccanica di terreni sabbiosi sottoposti ... -
Is the Asymmetrical Friction Connection (AFC) a low damage dissipater?
(University of Canterbury. Civil and Natural Resources EngineeringUniversity of Canterbury. Mechanical Engineering, 2015)Asymmetrical Friction Connections (AFC) are used in structures in earthquake zones to dissipate energy without causing major damage to the structural members. This means that the structure itself does not require replacement ...
