Kid's Music Box: A Digital Music Organizer Designed with Children for Children
(The University of Waikato, 2007)This thesis is an investigation of software development for children aged six to ten years old. This is a challenging area; despite the trend for children to be exposed to computer technology at an earlier age, they often ... -
Kids Greening Taupō: Conservation Education Based on a Collaborative Community Model
(University of Waikato, 2016)Ecological degradation threatens the life-giving capacity of Earth. Literature identifies education and collaboration across all sectors of society as being critically important to reversing the trend of degradation. ... -
KidsQuestions: Assisting Children’s Digital Information Seeking
(University of Waikato, 2016)The work presented in this thesis aims at supporting children’s digital information seeking. Children are known to have difficulties effectively using the information technologies that are available to them. We hypothesize ... -
Killing Tensors and Variable Separation for Hamilton-Jacobi and Helmholtz Equations
(SIAM Publications, 1980)Every separable coordinate system for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation on a Riemannian manifold Vₙ corresponds to a family of n-1 Killing tensors in involution, but the converse is false. For general n we find a practical ... -
Killing–Yano tensors and variable separation in Kerr geometry
(1989-10)A complete analysis of the free-field massless spin-s equations (s=0, (1)/(2) ,1) in Kerr geometry is given. It is shown that in each case the separation constants occurring in the solutions obtained from a potential ... -
