Lessons for Remote Post-earthquake Reconnaissance from the 14 August 2021 Haiti Earthquake
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022)On 14th August 2021, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck the Tiburon Peninsula in the Caribbean nation of Haiti, approximately 150 km west of the capital Port-au-Prince. Aftershocks up to moment magnitude 5.7 followed and ... -
“I Have to Praise You Like I Should?” The Effects of Implicit Self-Theories and Robot-Delivered Praise on Evaluations of a Social Robot
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022)Recent research suggests that implicit self-theories—a theory predicated on the idea that people’s underlying beliefs about whether self-attributes, such as intelligence, are malleable (incremental theory) or unchangeable ... -
Insights from the first global population estimate of Weddell seals in Antarctica
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2021)The Weddell seal is one of the best-studied marine mammals in the world, owing to a multidecadal demographic effort in the southernmost part of its range. Despite their occurrence around the Antarctic coastline, we know ... -
Novel Bi-Directional Dual-Flow-Rootchip to Study Effects of Osmotic Stress On Calcium Signalling in Arabidopsis Roots
(IEEE, 2022)Being able to detect and respond to abiotic and biotic stresses is fundamental for plant growth and survival. However, understanding of signal transduction within the root remains limited. To help shed light on these ... -
Urinary neopterin and total neopterin measurements allow monitoring of oxidative stress and inflammation levels of knee and hip arthroplasty patients
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2021)Knee and hip arthroplasty are common surgeries within an aging population. Some data has suggested that knee arthroplasty is more traumatic to the body than hip arthroplasty due to the increased complexity and load bearing ... -
Accomodation-sharing platforms and small towns in the Covid-19 era
(2021)Accommodation-sharing platforms, such as Airbnb, provide the owners of accommodation, including private homes, with the opportunity to offer all or part of their home, or bed space in it, for accommodation-sharing. ... -
Freeing the land beyond the shadow of the law: Twenty years of the Crown Pastoral Land Act
(2017)In April 2017 the Environment Court called for an immediate moratorium on freeholding Crown land in the South Island high country. The Court was referring to a quiet process called “tenure review” that is governed by the ... -
The contributions of Prof. Kenneth F. O'Driscoll to radical copolymerization kinetics
(Wiley, 2021)Among the many contributions that Kenneth ‘Ken’ O'Driscoll made to advance the understanding of radical polymerization kinetics was the implementation of proper statistical procedures for extracting (monomer) reactivity ... -
Infectious disease and corporate activities
(Elsevier BV, 2022)We investigate the effect of equity market volatility due to infectious disease on U.S. firms’ corporate activities from 1985 to 2020. Consistent with the theoretical framework, firms decrease their debt levels, debt ... -
Characterization of deposited Ti-doped lithium aluminium hydride thin film using dip coating method
(IOP Publishing, 2022)Lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH4) is an outstanding complex metal hydride as a hydrogen storage material. The hydrogen storage capacity of LiAlH4 is about 5-7 wt%. In this study, LiAlH4 concentration of 20 g/l doped ... -
Environmental sustainability and footprints of global aquaculture
(Elsevier BV, 2022)While aquaculture is critical to global food and nutrition security, the fast development of aquaculture production systems has been accompanied by resource overconsumption and environmental impacts. Understanding how ... -
An optimization approach for equitable bicycle share station siting
(Elsevier BV, 2018)Bicycle share systems are becoming an increasingly popular feature of many urban areas across the United States. While these systems aim to increase transit mode options as well as overall bicycle ridership, bike share ... -
MOBIlity assessment with modern TEChnology in older patients' real-life by the General Practitioner: The MOBITEC-GP study protocol
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019)Background: Mobility limitations in older adults are associated with poor clinical outcomes including higher mortality and disability rates. A decline in mobility (including physical function and life-space) is detectable ... -
Diverse more-than-human approaches to climate change adaptation in Thai Binh, Vietnam
(Wiley, 2022)Climate change adaptation is a key shared endeavour of our time. In Thai Binh Province of Vietnam, rice farmers have been adapting to environmental change for generations and have developed sophisticated strategies of ... -
Influence of Ozone Forcing on 21st Century Southern Hemisphere Surface Westerlies in CMIP6 Models
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2022)The tropospheric westerly jet is a key feature of Southern Hemisphere climate. In recent decades the jet strengthened in austral summer (December–February [DJF]) and moved poleward owing to the Antarctic ozone hole. ... -
Mapping shallow groundwater salinity in a coastal urban setting to assess exposure of municipal assets
(Elsevier BV, 2022)Study region: Christchurch, New Zealand. Study focus: Low-lying coastal cities worldwide are vulnerable to shallow groundwater salinization caused by saltwater intrusion and anthropogenic activities. Shallow groundwater ... -
High above-ground carbon stock of African tropical montane forests
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021)Tropical forests store 40–50 per cent of terrestrial vegetation carbon1. However, spatial variations in aboveground live tree biomass carbon (AGC) stocks remain poorly understood, in particular in tropical montane forests2. ... -
A Machine Learning Based Downscaling Approach to Produce High Spatio-Temporal Resolution Land Surface Temperature of the Antarctic Dry Valleys from MODIS Data
(MDPI AG, 2021)To monitor environmental and biological processes, Land Surface Temperature (LST) is a central variable, which is highly variable in space and time. This particularly applies to the Antarctic Dry Valleys, which host an ... -
Transport changes and COVID‐19: From present impacts to future possibilities
(Wiley, 2021)Changes in people's movement and travel behaviour have been apparent in many places during the COVID-19 pandemic, with differences seen at a range of spatial scales. These changes, occurring as a result of the COVID-19 ... -
Prediction of optical polarization and high-field hyperfine structure via a parametrized crystal-field model for low-symmetry centers in Er3+-doped Y2SiO5
(American Physical Society (APS), 2021)We report on the development and application of a parametrized crystal-field model for both C1 symmetry centers in trivalent erbium-doped Y2SiO5. High-resolution Zeeman and temperature dependent absorption spectroscopy ...
