Investigation into the effect of the general anaesthetics etomidate and ketamine on long-range coupling of population activity in the mouse neocortical slice
(Elsevier, 2012)General anaesthetics have been hypothesised to ablate consciousness by decoupling intracortical neural connectivity. We explored this by investigating the effect of etomidate and ketamine on coupling of neural population ... -
Investigation into the effects of flow distribution on the photovoltaic performance of a building integrated photovoltaic/thermal solar collector
(University of Waikato, 2013)The conversion of solar energy into usable forms of energy such as electricity and heat is attractive given the abundance of solar energy and the numerous issues recently raised in the consumption of fossil fuels. Solar ... -
Investigation into the Effects of Oxidative Stress on Reproductive Development.
(The University of Waikato, 2007)Nuclear transfer (NT), or cloning, which is the transfer of a donor nucleus to a recipient enucleated oocyte, has been successfully achieved to produce viable offspring in many species. The process is very inefficient, ... -
Investigation into the microbial ecology and persistence of soil taxa through trace-gas oxidation in Tongariro National Park
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Cultivation-dependent and metagenomic surveys of bare, volcanic and hyperarid oligotrophic ecosystems have revealed surprisingly diverse microbial communities¹⁻⁴. The richness of Mt. Tongariro soil communities is surprising ... -
