The Story Of Boston Dynamics
(2022)Boston Dynamics is the rock star of robotics. It recently featured in a beer commercial during the Super Bowl. How did a company that started as a military contractor become a novelty in beer commercials? Dwain Allan and ... -
Investigating the impact of ferrite magnetic cores on the performance of supercapacitor assisted surge absorber (SCASA) technique
(IEEE, 2019)Supercapacitor assisted surge absorber (SCASA) is a patented technique developed by the University of Waikato. One noticeable attribute of this design is the inclusion of a coupledinductor which improves its capability ... -
Permeance based model for the coupled-inductor utilized in the supercapacitor assisted surge absorber (SCASA) and its experimental validation
(IEEE, 2020)Transient-surge absorption capability of small/low cost supercapacitors (SCs) is already published. SCASA is a patented technique that led to the development of a high performance commercial surge protector which adheres ... -
Optimization of Supercapacitor Assisted Surge Absorber (SCASA) Technique: A New Approach to Improve Surge Endurance Using Air-Gapped Ferrite Cores
(MDPI AG, 2021)SCASA is a patented technique commercialized as a surge protector device (SPD) that adheres to UL-1449 test standards. Apart from the novel use of supercapacitors, SCASA design incorporates a coupled-inductor wound to a ... -
Supercapacitor assisted surge absorber (SCASA) technique: selection of magnetic components based on permeance
(IEEE, 2021)Supercapacitors help building long time constant resistor-capacitor circuits. This property helps them withstand high voltage transient surges and dissipate transient energy in the resistive element of the circuit without ... -
Microfluidic Platform to Study Electric Field Based Root Targeting by Pathogenic Zoospores
(IEEE, 2022)This paper reports the fabrication and application of a microfluidic Lab-on-a-Chip platform to study the electrotactic movements of pathogenic microorganisms. The movement of the pathogens in response to electric fields ... -
Impact of Climate change on Tourism in Sri Lanka: An Investigation
(2015)Tourism is the act and process of spending time away from home in pursuit of recreation, relaxation, and pleasure, while making use of the commercial provision of services. It is further identified as a product of modern ... -
Speech air flow with and without face masks
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022)Face masks slow exhaled air flow and sequester exhaled particles. There are many types of face masks on the market today, each having widely varying fits, filtering, and air redirection characteristics. While particle ... -
Biomechanical responses of encysted zoospores of the oomycete Achlya bisexualis to hyperosmotic stress are consistent with an ability to turgor regulate
(2022)Zoospores are motile, asexual reproductive propagules that enable oomycete pathogens to locate and infect new host tissue. While motile, they have no cell wall and maintain tonicity with their external media using water ... -
Field Effect Transistor-Like Control of Capillaric Flow Using Off-Valves
(IEEE, 2022)An important application area of microfluidics is point-of-care devices. Capillaric circuits are a promising technology to realize such devices. Recently, we introduced a capillary action off-valve which adds preprogrammed ... -
Do investors respond to changes in the composition of sustainability indices?
(2021)This paper investigates the price effects associated with changes in the composition of the first sustainability index in Central and Eastern Europe – the RESPECT Index – over its lifetime, i.e. 2009–2019, using an event ... -
COLLATE INFORMATION ON THE EXPERIENCES OF “OLDER PERSONS” IN POST-QUAKE CANTERBURY
(University of Canterbury, 2021)These research papers explore the concept of vulnerability in international human rights law. In the wake of the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010-2011, this research focuses on how "vulnerability" has been used and developed ... -
EXPLORE THE DEVELOPMENT AND CURRENT USE OF THE CONCEPT OF “VULNERABILITY” WITHIN THE WIDER HUMAN RIGHTS DISCOURSE
(University of Canterbury, 2021)These research papers explore the concept of vulnerability in international human rights law. In the wake of the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010-2011, this research focuses on how "vulnerability" has been used and developed ... -
COLLATE EXAMPLES OF RECOGNITION OF VULNERABILITY IN NATURAL DISASTER CONTEXTS (ESPECIALLY EARTHQUAKES) BEYOND NEW ZEALAND
(University of Canterbury, 2021)These research papers explore the concept of vulnerability in international human rights law. In the wake of the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010-2011, this research focuses on how "vulnerability" has been used and developed ... -
RECOVERING FROM A WORST-CASE SCENARIO: SHOULD NEW ZEALAND IMPLEMENT A DISASTER RECOVERY ACT?
(University of Canterbury, 2021)In response to the February 2011 earthquake, Parliament enacted the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act. This emergency legislation provided the executive with extreme powers that extended well beyond the initial emergency ...
