• ASSESSMENT OF VULNERABILITY AND RESPONSE CAPACITY TO FLOODS IN BUENOS AIRES WITH LIMITED DATA 

  Ferligoj Y; Hughes M; Cochrane T (2017)

  The determination of infrastructure lifeline vulnerability and community response to flooding is a significant aspect of hazards management. The availability of information, such as spatial and non-spatial data characterising ...

• Mass flow in hyphae of the oomycete Achlya bisexualis. 

  Bidanjiri, Mona (University of Canterbury, 2018)

  Oomycetes and fungi grow in a polarized manner through the process of tip growth. This is a complex process, involving extension at the apex of the cell and the movement of the cytoplasm forward, as the tip extends. The ...

• Attitudes toward international trade and immigration : an experimental analysis. 

  Monk, Nathan (University of Canterbury, 2018)

  Public opinion on trade has long differed from that of the economist. This discrepancy has provoked many theories. This thesis sought to bring together a wide variety of research into trade attitudes, and build on previous ...

• Egg-size variation in North Island brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli): influences and consequences. 

  Bain, Isaac Andrew (University of Canterbury, 2018)

  Egg size in an important measure of how parents divide their investment in offspring. It has fitness consequences for both parent and offspring. Yet, significant variation in egg size is found in many avian populations ...

• The effect of visual priming in jumping spiders. 

  Scott, Lauren (University of Canterbury, 2018)

  Priming of an animal’s sensory system can influence behaviour. Once an animal has been primed with a stimulus (e.g., the smell of a specific prey), it is then able to find the source of the stimulus (e.g., visually locate ...

• Identification of the kinase cascades mediating oxidised low density lipoprotein-induced intracellular oxidative stress. 

  Steyn, Nina (University of Canterbury, 2018)

  The oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) to form cytotoxic oxidised LDL (oxLDL) is a central atherogenic process. Exposure to oxLDL triggers an oxidative stress response in various immune and vascular cell types ...

• Urban impact assessment and emergency response to flooding in Buenos Aires, Argentina. 

  Ferligoj, Yanina (University of Canterbury, 2018)

  The determination of urban resilience and community response to flooding are significant aspects of hazard management and disaster risk reduction. Anticipating hazard impacts is vital to the development of flood mitigation ...

• Modifying tin dioxide surfaces to achieve chemical stability and electronic functionality. 

  Schuurman, Joel (University of Canterbury, 2018)
