Clinical classification of strength and skill impairments in neurogenic dysphagia.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)Swallowing is a complex, precise sequence of movements that is fundamentally mediated by brainstem mechanisms, but volitionally modulated by cortical processes. Although swallowing biomechanics are fairly well defined, ... -
Heartwood formation and the chemical basis of natural durability in Eucalyptus bosistoana.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)The New Zealand Dryland Forests Initiative (NZDFI), aims to establish a sustainable natural durable timber industry in New Zealand. The natural durability of heartwood is highly variable within a species and lower at the ... -
Numerical modelling of an acoustically-driven bubble : the growth and collapse near a wall.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)The acoustically-driven collapse of a bubble results from the oscillating position of an ultrasound transducer face in a liquid medium. Existing fully-compressible models of bubble collapse have been applied to represent ... -
Supply chain resilience elements – the case of the dairy sector.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)Supply chain resilience refers to the ability of a supply chain to prepare, respond, recover and grow in the face of a disruption. This study aims to identify the elements that build a resilient supply chain in the context ... -
Datasets, processing and refinement details for Mtb-AnPRT: inhibitor structures with various space groups
(2017)There are twenty-five published structures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis anthranilate phosphoribosyltransferase (Mtb-AnPRT) that use the same crystallization protocol. The structures include protein complexed with natural ... -
Magnetically gated accretion in an accreting 'non-magnetic' white dwarf.
(2017)White dwarfs are often found in binary systems with orbital periods ranging from tens of minutes to hours in which they can accrete gas from their companion stars. In about 15 per cent of these binaries, the magnetic field ... -

The campaign to abolish imprisonment for debt in England, 1750-1840.
(University of Canterbury, 1974)In the Common Law of England, a writ of capias could be used to arrest a debtor and hold him on bail or in prison until he was brought to trial, and thereafter until he paid the debt. This thesis studies the development ... -
Measurement of double-differential cross sections for top quark pair production in pp collisions at √s=8TeV and impact on parton distribution functions
(2017)Normalized double-differential cross sections for top quark pair (t t ¯) production are measured in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The analyzed data correspond to an ... -
Measurement of prompt and nonprompt J / ψ production in p p and p Pb collisions at √sNN=5.02TeV
(2017)This paper reports the measurement of J / ψ meson production in proton–proton (p p) and proton–lead (p Pb) collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The data samples ... -
The Little objet a of Anarchist Philosophy
(University of Canterbury, 2019)Lacanian theory maintains that the “object” of psychoanalysis is that which one is never without. Put another way, the “object” is actually not an object at all: it is the objet petit a, which is the cause of the subject’s ... -
Time and the Narrative of Memory in Sebald’s Austerlitz
(University of Canterbury, 2019)Narratives of memory written to create a time lost or recover an originary scene from which the present derives its significance have little in common with Sebald’s narrative practice. Sebald engages with how the past ... -
Leaving the Twenty-First Century: A Conversation with McKenzie Wark
(University of Canterbury, 2019)In this conversation, the acclaimed writer and media scholar McKenzie Wark discusses critical theory, global climate change, the future of the university, the capitalist labor process, and more. Drawing on books such as ... -
Book Review Rethinking Axel Honneth’s The Idea of Socialism
(University of Canterbury, 2019)Axel Honneth’s (2017) The Idea of Socialism is a timely reflection on a puzzling state of affairs: Perhaps at no time in the past several decades have so many sensed that there is something terribly wrong with global ... -

Introduction (What does it mean to) Think the Novel?
(University of Canterbury, 2019)What does the novel allow us to do? Moreover, how does it allow us think? How might it promise more than mere representation by grappling with what we must contend with in life: estrangement, alienation, contradiction and ... -
The Contemporary Disposition of the Novel
(University of Canterbury, 2019)Insofar as they show readers what capitalism does to their daily lives, novels have always been contemporary.1 In the last several decades, however, so many novels are pushing the so far beyond this commonsense meaning ... -
Beckett as the Writer of Abstraction
(University of Canterbury, 2019)The “empty” Cartesian subject ($) is not just the agent of abstraction (tearing apart what in reality belongs together), it is itself an abstraction, i.e., it emerges as the result of the process of abstraction, of ... -
Jewish-Christian encounters, suicide and transitory spaces in Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment and Trollope’s Nina Balatka
(University of Canterbury, 2019)Two nineteenth-century novelists, Dostoevsky and Trollope, in novels written in the same year 1866/67, chose liminal spaces for suicides. In Crime and Punishment Raskolnikov contemplates suicide by throwing himself off a ... -
A World without the Novel
(University of Canterbury, 2019)The primary objective of the essay is to draw the consequences of a truly consistent deployment of the utopian desire that animates Georg Lukács’s The Theory of the Novel. On the one hand, it is quite evident that for ...
