(University of Canterbury, 2019)The decarbonisation of New Zealand’s energy system will increase demand for electricity at the same time as fossil fuelled generation is phased out. Maintaining balance in the power system will become increasingly difficult ... -
Quantifying neonatal pulmonary mechanics in mechanical ventilation
(Elsevier BV, 2019)© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Background: Mechanical Ventilation (MV) is an important intensive care therapy. It is often used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to treat respiratory distress syndrome. This paper uses model-based ... -
Evaluation of the Effect of Knots on Rolling Shear Strength of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT)
(2019)The study experimentally and analytically investigated the effect of knots on the rolling shear (RS) strength of 3-ply southern yellow pine cross-laminated timber (CLT). Center-point bending tests and two-plate shear tests ... -
Advancing lean management: The missing quantitative approach
(Elsevier BV, 2019)For 25 years, the methodologies employed to study lean management have gone relatively unchallenged. This paper reviews the development of the lean body of knowledge and reveals that the vast majority of research, being ... -
High-temperature (350 °C) oxidized iridium Schottky contacts on β-Ga2O3
(AIP Publishing, 2019)Oxidized iridium (IrOx) Schottky contacts (SCs) with excellent high temperature stability were fabricated on ð201Þ b-Ga2O3 single crystal substrates. These IrOx:b-Ga2O3 SCs were operated at temperatures from 24 to 350 C ... -
