Levers of change: using mathematical models to compare gender equity interventions in universities
(The Royal Society, 2022)Women are under-represented in academic staff in universities worldwide. Our work builds on other studies of 'demographic inertia'. We find that time will not bridge the gender representation gap in academia, and echo ... -
A Numerical Investigation of the Hydrodynamic Dispersion in Novel Chromatographic Stationary Phases
(2022)3D printed custom chromatographic stationary phases are now a reality. Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method, we compare the chromatographic performance of random packing of monodisperse spheres, open tubular columns (OTC) ... -
Supercapacitor assisted surge absorber technique: high performance transient surge protectors for consumer electronics
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022) -
Permeance based Design and Analysis of Supercapacitor Assisted Surge Absorber for Magnetic Component Selection
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)Supercapacitor assisted surge absorber (SCASA) technique is a unique and commercially useful design approach for surge protector devices. SCASA topology is based on the combination of a coupled inductor which partly ... -
Microdevice-based mechanical compression on living cells
(Elsevier BV, 2022)Compressive stress enables the investigation of a range of cellular processes in which forces play an important role, such as cell growth, differentiation, migration, and invasion. Such solid stress can be introduced ... -
Direct model-based wavefront sensorless method with a fixed number of measurements
(Optica Publishing Group, 2022)In wavefront sensorless (WFSL) adaptive optics, the intensity image in the observation plane, instead of the wavefront sensor, is utilised to estimate the input aberration. The number of intensity measurements is critical ... -
Examination of embolisms in maple and birchsaplings utilising microCT
(2023)We demonstrate the application of synchrotron x-ray microtomography (microCT) to non-invasively examine the internal structure of a maple and birch sapling. We show that, through the use of standard image analysis ... -
Discount rates used for forest valuation - results of 2021 survey
(2022)A total of 23 forest valuers responded to the survey and provided information on 25 New Zealand and four Australian transactions in 2020 and 2021. The average reported implied discount rate (IDR) for the New Zealand ... -
Map of the small-scale forest estate of New Zealand
(2021)From 2015 to 2021, final-year Bachelor of Forestry Science (BForSc) students at the University of Canterbury have developed, region by region, a map of the small-scale forest estate in New Zealand. Forest boundaries ... -
Magnetic Design Aspects of Coupled-Inductor Topologies for Transient Suppression
(MDPI AG, 2023)<jats:p>Based on the discovery of the surge absorption capability of supercapacitors, a transient protector named supercapacitor-assisted surge absorber (SCASA) was designed and implemented in a commercial device. Despite ... -
Development of a Systems Model for Assessing Pathways to Resilient, Sustainable, and Profitable Agriculture in New Zealand
(MDPI AG, 2022)There is a clear research gap in understanding how future pathways and disruptions to the New Zealand (NZ) agricultural system will have an impact on the environment and productivity. Agriculture is in a period of significant ... -
High-temperature catalytic pyrolysis of radiata pine for production of high-value products
(2022)In this study, high-temperature catalytic pyrolysis of radiata pine was investigated for the production of high-value gas products. Pyrolysis experiments were conducted in a fluidized bed reactor at temperatures of 600 to ... -
An Analysis of Agricultural Systems Modelling Approaches and Examples to Support Future Policy Development under Disruptive Changes in New Zealand
(MDPI AG, 2022)Agricultural systems have entered a period of significant disruption due to impacts from change drivers, increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the need to reduce unwanted discharges, and emerging technologies ... -
A dual-flow RootChip enables quantification of bi-directional calcium signalling in primary roots
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022)One sentence summary: Bi-directional-dual-flow-RootChip to track calcium signatures in Arabidopsis primary roots responding to osmotic stress. Plant growth and survival is fundamentally linked with the ability to detect ... -
Application of sequential cyclic compression on cancer cells in a flexible microdevice
(2022)Mechanical forces shape physiological structure and function within cell and tissue microenvironments, during which cells strive to restore their shape or develop an adaptive mechanism to maintain cell integrity depending ... -
Evaluating the potential of Eucalyptus bosistoana essential oil
(2022)Eucalypt essential oils are manufactured at commercial scale in many countries, but not in New Zealand. Recent research at the University of Canterbury School of Forestry investigated the potential for essential oil to ... -
Non-destructive evaluation techniques and what they tell us about wood property variation
(MDPI AG, 2019)To maximize utilization of our forest resources, detailed knowledge of wood property variation and the impacts this has on end-product performance is required at multiple scales (within and among trees, regionally). As ... -
Modelling the influence of radiata pine log variables on structural lumber production
(2023)We run logit models to explain the variability of Pinus radiata structural lumber in 71 second and third unpruned logs. The response variable was the proportion of lumber with a static modulus of elasticity greater or ... -
Evaluation of Influence Factors on the Visual Inspection Performance of Aircraft Engine Blades
(MDPI AG, 2021)Background—There are various influence factors that affect visual inspection of aircraft engine blades including type of inspection, defect type, severity level, blade perspective and background colour. The effect of those ...
