The development of a new technique for the normalisation of the University of Canterbury adaptive speech test- filtered words (UCAST-FW).
(University of Canterbury, 2017)Low-pass filtered word tests, in which a speech sample is degraded using a low-pass filter (LPF), are one class of low-redundancy test commonly used in the diagnosis of auditory processing disorder (APD). Due to the high ... -
The effect of team learning behaviours on team effectiveness in virtual teams.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)The present study serves as an updated study on team virtuality in relation to team effectiveness and team learning behaviour. Because computer-mediated communication that virtual teams are based on is improving every year, ... -
Empowering leadership : an examination of fit with individual needs.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)The shift from traditional hierarchical structures toward flexible structures at work requires increasing levels of employee autonomy and has prompted organisations to rely on empowering leadership behaviours. Yet, employees ... -
The relationship between perceived co-worker loafing and elements of work plus the role of protestant work ethic.
(University of Canterbury, 2017)This study examined the relationships perceived co-worker loafing has with job performance, undesirable work behaviours and job satisfaction. The study also examined whether Protestant work ethic moderated these relationships. ... -
OGLE-2017-BLG-0329L: A Microlensing Binary Characterized with Dramatically Enhanced Precision Using Data from Space-based Observations
(2018)Mass measurements of gravitational microlenses require one to determine the microlens parallax PIe, but precise PIe measurement, in many cases, is hampered due to the subtlety of the microlens-parallax signal combined ... -
Investigating the evolution of mRNA : ncRNA avoidance in escherichia coli.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)It is presumed that the levels of mRNA and protein should correlate relatively strongly however this correlation is often quite poor. Two main explanations have been invoked to explain this discrepancy, messenger RNA (mRNA) ... -
Cofactor Tail Length Modulates Catalysis of Bacterial F420-Dependent Oxidoreductases
(2017)F420 is a microbial cofactor that mediates a wide range of physiologically important and industrially relevant redox reactions, including in methanogenesis and tetracycline biosynthesis. This deazaflavin comprises a ... -
Safety outcomes associated with new employee classification : the impact of expectations and experience.
(University of Canterbury, 2017)Health and safety in New Zealand is an important issue in many aspects of organisational functioning, the intention of this research is to contribute to this field. This research focuses on new employees, and how their ... -
Genetic diversity and structure in the Philippine Rafflesia lagascae complex (Rafflesiaceae) inform its taxonomic delimitation and conservation
(2017)Rafflesia lagascaeis a rare endo-holoparasitic species with a disjunct distribution on Luzon Island. It is morphologically very similar to R. manillana from nearby Samar. This study aims to contribute to the taxonomy and ... -
A qualitative and quantitative examination of alternative silvicultural regimes in the South Canterbury foothills with reference to the evaluation of climatic factors that may affect these regimes
(University of Canterbury, 1982)An investigation into the qualitative and quantitative aspects of alternative silvicultural regimes Pinus radiate (D. Don) was undertaken in the South Canterbury foothills. Data was collected from Geraldine State Forest ... -
Provenance and porosity analysis of the Greymouth Basin, New Zealand.
(University of Canterbury, 2017)The coal and lacustrine deposits of the Greymouth Basin have been explored for their economic potential. However, the associated coarse clastic sediments have not been as thoroughly investigated. Thus, there is continuing ... -
Haptic contact in immersive 360° cinematic environment.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)We perceive the environment around us using the five senses that are categorized as visual, auditory, haptic, olfactory and gustatory. A considerable amount of work has been done in the audio-visual domain compared to ... -
Can renewable energy save us?

What does quantum mechanics have to do with biomolecular interactions?
(2016)Quantum why? - All the ways we think about how molecules interact are fundamentally determined by how electrons behave - And of course that influences how atoms move/rearrange - We can predict how electrons behave ... -
Accounting for anharmonicity

The No. 8 baling wire approach to quantum chemical modelling
(2016)Overview: - Our job as chemists is to understand and manipulate the behaviour of electrons within molecules ; - This has a knock-on effect for nuclei – influencing structure, dynamics and reactivity ; - What can and ... -
OGLE-2016-BLG-1266: A Probable Brown-Dwarf/Planet Binary at the Deuterium Fusion Limit
(2018)We report the discovery, via the microlensing method, of a new very-low-mass binary system. By combining measurements from Earth and from the Spitzer telescope in Earth-trailing orbit, we are able to measure the ... -
Hubble flow variance and the cosmic rest frame
(2013)We characterize the radial and angular variance of the Hubble flow in the composite sample of 4534 galaxies, on scales in which much of the flow is in the nonlinear regime. With no cosmological assumptions other than the ...
