Stochastic filtering for real-time traffic state estimation using multiple data sources.
(2022)The rapid population growth and urbanization in many parts of the world have resulted in an increase in traffic demand over the last few decades. However, expanding and developing transportation infrastructure is ... -
Leaders perceptions of the contribution of different diversity types to service quality, along with their sense of competence in managing diverse teams.
(2022)Diversity is considered a defining feature both socially and in the workplace in New Zealand. Workplace diversity is typically considered beneficial for organisations; however, it also comes with its complications. More ... -
Optimal deployment of charging infrastructures for urban networks.
(2022)Electric Vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a promising solution for fossil fuel diminution, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise pollution in urban areas. Transport electrification poses a necessitous problem for charging ... -
Volcanic impacts to regional water supply systems and opportunities for resilience in Taranaki, Aotearoa New Zealand.
(2022)Water supply systems are critical infrastructure as they provide potable water for households, industrial sectors, and other critical infrastructures. Volcanic hazards such as ashfall and lahars are known to directly damage ... -
Identifying strategies to mitigate cybersickness in virtual reality induced by flying with an interactive travel interface.
(2022)Virtual Reality (VR) is a versatile and evolving technology for simulating different experiences. As this technology has improved in hardware, accessibility of development, and availability of applications its interest ... -
A stochastic mathematical model of 4D tumour spheroids with real-time fluorescent cell cycle labelling
(The Royal Society, 2022)In vitro tumour spheroid experiments have been used to study avascular tumour growth and drug design for the last 50 years. Unlike simpler two-dimensional cell cultures, tumour spheroids exhibit heterogeneity within the ... -
Effects of abiotic stress on the oomycete Phytophthora pluvialis
(2022)Phytophthora pluvialis (P. pluvialis) is the causative agent of red needle cast (RNC) disease in radiata pine. Currently, RNC is seen as a cause of concern in the North Island but is trickling its way down into the South ... -
How trout and low flow interact to influence native non-migratory galaxiid populations.
(2022)Biological invasions and alterations in natural flow regimes threaten native freshwater communities worldwide. Low flow conditions could interact with biological invasions to either exacerbate or offset their impacts. ... -
Socio-Economic Inequity: Diabetes in New Zealand
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022) -
The Story Of Boston Dynamics
(2022)Boston Dynamics is the rock star of robotics. It recently featured in a beer commercial during the Super Bowl. How did a company that started as a military contractor become a novelty in beer commercials? Dwain Allan and ... -
Interleaved recording of the auditory brainstem response in sensorineural hearing loss
(2022)The auditory brainstem response (ABR) test is a far-field electrophysiological technique routinely used to estimate auditory thresholds, detecting auditory neuropathologies and intraoperative monitoring (Haddad et al., ... -
TreeTwist : instrumentation for the acoustic measurement of wood properties.
(2022)The forestry industry is a valuable part of the New Zealand economy. Timber exports rely on methods to reliably produce high quality timber | timber that is both stiff and stable. Wood is a complex, anisotropic, material ... -
Belief, Truth and Virtue
(2013)In this paper, I defend the view that truth is a constitutive norm of belief formation, argue in favour of a virtue-theoretic account of epistemic evaluation and respond to possible objections. In §I, I argue that belief ... -
Soil-plant interactions of New Zealand native vegetation irrigated with treated municipal wastewater.
(2022)The reuse of treated municipal wastewater (TMW) for irrigation rather than disposal into waterways, has net positive effects on water quality. TMW could be irrigated onto native vegetation to create zones of enhanced ... -
Feral cats (Felis catus) : lure development for an under-studied super predator.
(2022)Invasive mammals continue to have a detrimental impact worldwide, predating on native species, driving range shifts, modifying habitats, and spreading diseases harmful to humans, endemic species, and livestock. Feral cats ... -
New technologies in ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials : an evaluation of oVEMPs elicited by the Radioear B81 bone vibrator in comparison to the Brüel & Kjær 4810 Minishaker
(2022)Background: Currently in clinical practice and research involving the human vestibular system, an electrodynamic exciter called the B&K 4810 Minishaker is used to elicit the ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential ... -
Contributions to imaging.
(1980)Four topics are considered - each associated with a different aspect of imaging. Using X-ray diffraction it is possible to say much about the structure of molecules. Two models for the D.N.A. molecule are analysed with ... -
Moth abundance declines 1961-2020 in a New Zealand montane grassland.
(2022)Recent evidence has sparked increasing global concern of widespread insect biodiversity loss. However, there are few long-term studies on insect trends, especially in the Southern Hemisphere. In a native tussock grassland ... -
The role of the novel female ornament in the wide-bodied pipefish, Stigmatapora nigra
(2022)Sexual selection can drive the evolution of exaggerated ornaments and armaments, which serve no purpose to survival but are beneficial for mate choice or intrasexual competition. Sexual selection theory was based on elaborate ... -
Turing’s analysis of computability : historical and philosophical investigations.
(2022)Alan Turing presented his analysis of computability in his seminal 1936 paper “On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem”. This dissertation examines the origins, the central concepts, and the ...
