Investigating the Kinetics and Mechanism of Organic Oxidation in Parallel with the Oxygen Evolution Reaction
(Springer, 2018)In this paper, the mechanism of organic oxidation in parallel with the oxygen evolution reaction at an electrode following the “active” anode mechanism is investigated. The active anode (IrO2-Sb2O5-SnO2/Ti) was prepared via ... -
Continuous glucose monitoring in neonates: a review.
(2017)Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is well established in the management of diabetes mellitus, but its role in neonatal glycaemic control is less clear. CGM has provided important insights about neonatal glucose metabolism, ... -
New characterisations of tree-based networks and proximity measures
(2017)Phylogenetic networks are a type of directed acyclic graph that represent how a set X of present-day species are descended from a common ancestor by processes of speciation and reticulate evolution. In the absence of ... -
Geomechanical rock properties of a basaltic volcano
(2015)In volcanic regions, reliable estimates of mechanical properties for specific volcanic events such as cyclic inflation-deflation cycles by magmatic intrusions, thermal stressing, and high temperatures are crucial for ... -
Evaluating the Effects of Hand-gesture-based Interaction with Virtual Content in a 360 Movie
(2017)Head-mounted displays are becoming increasingly popular as home entertainment devices for viewing 360 movies. This paper explores the effects of adding gesture interaction with virtual content and two different ... -
Beyond the Woodward-Hoffman rules: what controls reactivity in eliminative aromatic ring-forming reactions?
(2017)The Mallory (photocyclization) and Scholl (thermal cyclohydrogenation) reactions are widely used in the synthesis of extended conjugated systems of high scientific interest and technological importance, including molecular ... -
Randomised controlled pilot trial of an exercise plus behaviour change intervention in people with multiple sclerosis: the Step it Up study.
(2017)To investigate feasibility of multiple sclerosis (MS) exercise guidelines for inactive people with MS (PwMS) and to examine preliminary efficacy for walking. To investigate effect of augmenting that intervention with ... -
Effects of time - scale on householder PV economic analyses: over - estimation of self - consumption
(2017)The economic analysis of when solar roof-top photovoltaic (PV) systems become viable is of great interest to many householders. It is well known that buy-back rates for solar energy are low and in general a PV system only ... -
Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Resting-State Functional MRI-scanning in 5- and 6-year-old children: protocol description and motion assessment
(2014)Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques such as Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and resting-state functional MRI (rfMRI) are widely used to study structural and functional neural connectivity. However, as these ... -
Education, Colonisation and Kanak Aspirations in New Caledonia: Historical Contexts and Contemporary Challenges
(2017)New Caledonia is an anomoly. Surrounded by independent nations in the South-West Pacific, it remains a non-self governing territory of France. Some of the residents are recognised, even by France, as “citizens” of the ... -
OGLE-2016-BLG-0168 Binary Microlensing Event: Prediction and Confirmation of the Microlens Parallax Effect from Space-based Observations
(2017)© 2017. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.. The microlens parallax is a crucial observable for conclusively identifying the nature of lens systems in microlensing events containing or composed of faint ... -
OGLE-2017-BLG-0173Lb: Low-mass-ratio Planet in a "Hollywood" Microlensing Event
(2018)We present microlensing planet OGLE-2017-BLG-0173Lb, with planet-host mass ratio either $q\simeq 2.5\times 10^{-5}$ or $q\simeq 6.5\times 10^{-5}$, the lowest or among the lowest ever detected. The planetary perturbation ... -
OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb: First Spitzer Bulge Planet Lies Near the Planet/Brown-Dwarf Boundary
(2017)We report the discovery of OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb, which is likely to be the first Spitzer microlensing planet in the Galactic bulge/bar, an assignation that can be confirmed by two epochs of high-resolution imaging of the ... -
Predicting the motion trajectories of a modular snake robot performing various gaits.
(University of Canterbury, 2017)Some studies have demonstrated that snake robots have more advantages than other mobile robots in real-world applications such as search-and-rescue operations and building inspections. A pitch-and-yaw modular snake robot ... -
Tar formation and transformation in steam gasification of biomass in a dual fluidised bed gasifier.
(University of Canterbury, 2017)Gasification is a promising thermos-chemical process that converts biomass into syngas (producer gas). However, the generation of tar compounds during the gasification process limit the subsequent syngas application, since ... -
The role of entrepreneurial intuition in making sense of strategic opportunities.
(University of Canterbury, 2017)With the increasing amount of data and analytic tools now available, how do strategists actually utilise intuition in the opportunity sensing process? The existing literature in this area highlights the multi-faceted nature ... -
An analysis of the proposed solutions to the Fermi-Hart paradox.
(University of Canterbury, 2017)The Fermi-Hart paradox claims that there is a very high probability that detectable extraterrestrial intelligences exist, while also observing that we see no signs of them. This high probability of extraterrestrial ...
