A process for the development and application of simulation models in applied economics
(Blackwell Publishing, 2013)Simulation models are widely used in applied economics to improve understanding of how a system could behave under different conditions. However, the potential degree to which such models can influence decision making ... -
The Sediment Dynamics of Ahuriri Estuary, Napier, New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2009)Ahuriri Estuary is a shallow, microtidal estuary located in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. Sediment transport pathways and areas of potential erosion and accretion of Ahuriri Estuary are identified to enhance the understanding ... -
Students' Mental Models of Chemical Reactions
(University of Waikato, 2013)Previous research on topics such as atomic structure and chemical bonding indicates that students’ mental models are often inconsistent with the scientific models, which may impede learning of advanced concepts. International ... -
A symmetric and interconnected skeleton structural (SISS) model for predicting thermal and electrical conductivity and Young’s modulus of porous foams
(Elsevier, 2008)A symmetric and interconnected skeleton structural (SISS) model is proposed for predicting the thermal and electrical conductivities and Young’s modulus of open-cell foams with hollow and solid struts. The model predicted ... -
The investigation of multi-storied Japanese timber pagodas during earthquake events and the application of non-linear joints within virtual models
(The University of Waikato, 2022)This paper investigates the structural mechanisms contributing to the excellent performance of Japanese pagodas during earthquake events and applies them to modern multi-storeyed timber structure models. Horyu-ji Pagoda ... -
The Useful Elements of Pre-principalship Preparation
(The University of Waikato, 2007)Abstract The importance of the role of the principal in good schools is acknowledged by many sources. The preparation of new principals is therefore an important factor in ensuring children are educated in good schools. ...
