35,000 years of hydrological variability in northern New Zealand from speleothem magnetism
(2018)Speleothem magnetism is the study of the origin and geo-enviromagnetic significance of magnetic minerals in speleothems. Allogenic magnetic particles are transported to speleothem sites from soils and sediments by hydrological ... -
3D face recognition using multiview keypoint matching
(IEEE, 2009)A novel algorithm for 3D face recognition based point cloud rotations, multiple projections, and voted keypoint matching is proposed and evaluated. The basic idea is to rotate each 3D point cloud representing an individual’s ... -
3D printing of bio-inspired, multi-material structures to enhance stiffness and toughness
(The University of Waikato, 2021)In nature, many biological, multi-materials have complex microstructures and excellent mechanical properties. One shellfish material called nacre has received much attention due to its unique interlocking structure of ... -
3D Printing of Natural Fibre Reinforced Recycled Polypropylene
(The University of Auckland, 2017)The adverse effects that waste plastics are having on the environment is becoming increasingly apparent. However, the plastics recycling industry in New Zealand is entirely market driven, necessitating the development of ... -
3D Shape Measurement of Moving Objects for Industrial Applications
(University of Waikato, 2015)Three dimensional (3D) cameras provide distance measurements to objects, allowing computers and instruments to interact with their environment. The applications are wide-ranging, from human gesture control to industrial ... -
3D Shape Reconstruction from Multiple Range Image Views
(The University of Waikato, 2006)Shape reconstruction of different three dimensional objects using multiple range images has evolved recently within the recent past. In this research shape reconstruction of a three dimensional object using multiple range ... -
3D-printed Acoustic Directional Couplers
(2014)Acoustic Directional Couplers permit separation of forward and reverse sound pressure waves. This separation opens the way to traceable precision acoustic reflection measurements. In order to span the audio frequency range, ... -
4u
(The University of Waikato, 2020)I was thirteen the first time I took notice of my body. My girlfriend had left me without citing a reason. I had taken a bath, grabbed a towel and caught myself out the corner of my eye. I have not unnoticed since. Not a ... -
5-Bromo-8-methoxy-1-methyl-β-carboline, an alkaloid from the New Zealand marine bryozoan Pterocella vesiculosa
(American Chemical Society, 2009)A new alkaloid, 5-bromo-8-methoxy-1-methyl-β-carboline (1), has been isolated from the New Zealand marine bryozoan Pterocella vesiculosa. Structural elucidation was achieved through NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric ... -
(6-Acetoxy-2-acetylphenyl-κ²C¹,O¹)tetracarbonylmanganese(I)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2007-10)The title compound, [Mn(C₁₀H₉O₃)(CO)₄], is formed by orthomanganation of 3'-acetoxyacetophenone at the sterically crowded ortho site. The atoms of the benzene and the cyclometallated rings are coplanar to within <0.018 Å, ... -
A body of one's own: Representations of women's bodies in the poetry of Emily Dickinson and Anne Sexton, and breaking free of the gendering patriarchy
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Waxing, shaving, plucking, eye-brow tinting, hair dying, makeup, diets, plastic surgery – if all women were instantaneously in love with their natural bodies, millions of people would be out of work. For centuries, women’s ... -
A calibrated dual-port acoustic Vector Network Analyser
(The University of Waikato, 2022)The Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) is a workhorse in electrical engineering, and has been refined over the last fifty years to offer many advantages. This technology is continually expanding and branching into other fields ... -
A capabilities approach to freedom of employment: Hierarchical capabilities
(The University of Waikato, 2021)When people in New Zealand are unhappy with their current employment, they are often advised to find a new job. Implicit here is the assumption that a new job will be better, but it is not entirely clear that this is always ... -
A Case for an Indigenous Court - a realisation of self-determination?
(University of Waikato, 2016)This thesis searches for appropriate ways to alter entrenched patterns of highly negative outcomes for Māori in the criminal justice system. The statistics demonstrate that proportionately, Māori are much more likely to ... -
A changing dialogue within health communication in New Zealand: a case study of the Waikato screening mammography programme
(The University of Waikato, 2000)As part of changes in the health sector in New Zealand over the past decade, government has provided a number of community-based health interventions. The purpose of such interventions is to provide information and resources ... -
A Changing Perspective: leading and learning in new ways
(University of Waikato, 2016)Schools are learning places, tasked with providing rich, meaningful and diverse learning experiences for all of its’ learners. Educational leaders are facing increasing challenges and demands to become more responsive to ... -
A chemical comparison of snows from Mt Ruapehu, New Zealand and the Polar Plateau, East Antarctica
(The University of Waikato, 1990)The chemistry of surface, snowpit and ice core samples from Mt Ruapehu, New Zealand, was compared to surface snow samples from Mt Egmont-Taranaki, New Zealand, and to snowpit samples from the Polar Plateau, East Antarctica. ... -
A cliff in Denmark: An adapturgical exploration of Hamlet
(The University of Waikato, 2020)The story of Hamlet is commonly attributed to William Shakespeare and has been adapted consistently by playwrights, poets, novelists, musicians, artists, and filmmakers since the Elizabethan playwright’s day. However, ... -
A Collective Documentary? A case study of audio-visual UGC surrounding the Christchurch earthquakes
(University of Waikato, 2013)This thesis centres upon the study of the audio-visual user-generated content (UGC) relating to the series of earthquakes between September 2010 and January 2012 in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. The analysis of ... -
