Initiator Feeding Policies in Semi-Batch Free Radical Polymerization: A Monte Carlo Study
(MDPI AG, 2020)<jats:p>A Monte Carlo simulation algorithm is developed to visualize the impact of various initiator feeding policies on the kinetics of free radical polymerization. Three cases are studied: (1) general free radical ... -
Farmers’ perceptions of options for pasture remediation and recovery following major tephra fall in New Zealand
(2020)Many regions around the world have farms surrounding potentially active volcanoes that have been dormant for decades to centuries. Without any recent experience, a new major eruption and tephra fall would present an ... -
The Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) Alert Algorithm and Alert System
(2018)We describe a new microlensing-event alert algorithm that is tailored to the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) multi-observatory system. The algorithm focuses on detecting "rising" events, i.e., events whose ... -
Volcanic ballistic projectile deposition from a continuously erupting volcano: Yasur Volcano, Vanuatu
(Volcanica, 2020)Volcanic Ballistic Projectiles (VBPs) are the main hazard to life and infrastructure from Strombolian eruptions. This eruption style is a tourist drawcard, exposing people to VBP hazard. Most of the research on VBPs to ... -
Simulation in Audiology Training: Making the Most of It
(2020)Most New Zealand audiologists will have used some form of simulation during their training. Many of us will remember the vintage electronic masking simulators, or the Parrot software for pure-tone audiometry, but ... -
KMT-2018-BLG-0029Lb: A Very Low Mass-Ratio Spitzer Microlens Planet
(2019)At $q=1.81\pm 0.20 \times 10^{-5}$, KMT-2018-BLG-0029Lb has the lowest planet-host mass ratio $q$ of any microlensing planet to date by more than a factor of two. Hence, it is the first planet that probes below the ... -
KMT-2019-BLG-0842Lb: A Cold Planet Below the Uranus/Sun Mass Ratio
(2019)With $q=(4.09\pm 0.27) \times 10^{-5}$, KMT-2019-BLG-0842Lb is the second cold planet with planet-host mass ratio $q$ below that of Uranus relative to the Sun ($q=4.37\times 10^{-5}$), the first having been discovered ... -

Pathways to urban health and well-being: measuring and modelling of community services’ in a medium size city
(PAGEPress Publications, 2020)<jats:p>Social and natural capital are fundamental to people’s wellbeing, often within the context of local community. Developing communities and linking people together provide benefits in terms of mental well-being, ... -
Afromontane forest diversity and the role of grassland-forest transition in tree species distribution
(MDPI AG, 2020)© 2020 by the authors. Local factors can play an important role in defining tree species distributions in species rich tropical forests. To what extent the same applies to relatively small, species poorWest African montane ... -

Elastic fault interactions and earthquake‐rupture along the southern Hellenic subduction plate‐interface zone in Greece
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2020)The importance of splay-thrust faults in subduction seismogenesis is increasingly acknowledged, however, their elastic interaction with the plate-interface remains unclear. Here, we use GPS velocities, constrained by ... -
Is Preventive Treatment for Individuals With Sexual Interest in Children Viable in a Discretionary Reporting Context?
(SAGE Publications, 2019)<jats:p> This study explored the viability of preventive treatment services for individuals with sexual interest in children, in jurisdictions without mandatory reporting but where risk-related disclosures to authorities ... -
Ethnography In and With Bodies Embodied Learning and the Academic Life
(Victoria University of Wellington Library, 2019)The body is a vital part of ethnographic experience and learning. This essay reflects on the complex work that the body does during ethnography, not just as an instrument for data collection, but as a means of collaboration, ... -
Informing the design of a long-term population density monitoring protocol for a Nationally Endangered grasshopper: Removal sampling as a basis for estimating individual detection probabilities
(2020)Imperfect detection of individuals in threatened wild populations is common and can obscure real population trends when it is unaccounted for in population monitoring, and therefore impede conservation decision making. For ... -
Predictive Properties of the Violence Risk Scale–Sexual Offense Version as a Function of Age
(SAGE Publications, 2019)<jats:p> The present study examined the discrimination and calibration properties of Violence Risk Scale–Sexual Offense version (VRS-SO) risk and change scores for sexual and violent recidivism as a function of age at ... -
Spatially‐explicit models for exploring COVID‐19 lockdown strategies
(Wiley, 2020)This article describes two spatially-explicit models created to allow experimentation with different societal responses to the COVID19 pandemic. We outline the work to date on modelling spatially-explicit infective ... -
The affect of effect: affirmative political ecologies in monitoring climate change adaptation interventions
(2018)All over the world, climate change adaptation interventions (CCAIs) are being implemented in a variety of ways, but mostly monitored using outcomes-based monitoring and evaluation (M&E) frameworks that are prone to ... -
Reported behavioural differences between geldings and mares challenge sex-driven stereotypes in ridden equine behaviour
(MDPI AG, 2020)© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Horse trainers and riders may have preconceived ideas of horse temperament based solely on the sex of the horse. A study (n = 1233) of horse enthusiasts (75% of ...
