Light requirements of Australian tropical vs. cool-temperate rainforest tree species show different relationships with seedling growth and functional traits
(Oxford University Press, 2013)Background and Aims A trade-off between shade tolerance and growth in high light is thought to underlie the temporal dynamics of humid forests. On the other hand, it has been suggested that tree species sorting on temperature ... -
A lightweight metadata quality tool
(ACM, 2008)We describe a Web-based metadata quality tool that provides statistical descriptions and visualisations of Dublin Core metadata harvested via the OAI protocol. The lightweight nature of development allows it to be used to ... -
Lightweight realistic books: The Greenstone connection
(ACM, 2007)Realistic physically-based computer models of page-turning have been around for years, but are rarely deployed in practice except as eye-catching demos. This demo shows a connection from the Greenstone digital library ... -
Lignin oxidation products in soil, dripwater and speleothems from four different sites in New Zealand
(Copernicus GmbH, 2021)Lignin oxidation products (LOPs) are widely used as vegetation proxies in climate archives, such as sediment and peat cores. The total LOP concentration, Σ8, provides information on the abundance of vegetation, while the ... -
Like a jungle sometimes: how leaves survive in the rainforest understory
(2012)Article provides new insights into how leaves resist the rigours of life in the rainforest understory, seeking explanations of durability at multiple levels, and confirming the utility of a new way of standardizing toughness ... -
Like Status Sells: A Field Study of Belief Congruence
(University of Waikato, 1971)A test of Rokeach's (1960) theory of belief congruence with 53 life insurance salesmen strongly supports the validity of the theory. The theory was generalized beyond the pencil and paper test situations to behaviour ... -
Limitations and possibilities: Representations of gender transition in Western fiction, 1928-2018
(The University of Waikato, 2022)This thesis seeks to understand how fictional texts encounter queer genders and what they have to say about what it means to be trans* or have nonconforming gender. Identifying and critiquing the tropes and conventions at ... -
The limitations of the methods of identifying the floral source of honeys
(1998)The pollen grains in honey reveal the types of plants that were around when the bees produced the honey, thus it is valid to use melissopalynology to determine the geographical origin of honeys, but there are several reasons ... -
Limitations unlimited: Interrogating some finer points of the 'scientific study' of adolescence
(Taylor & Francis, 2001)Radical epistemological critiques of developmental and social psychology are nothing new, and major methodological debates are now common even within the mainstream literature. Yet a considerable amount of research continues ... -
Limited changes in microbial respiration along a geothermal gradient
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Soil carbon is the largest terrestrial stock of carbon (C) globally. This C stock has the potential to be negatively impacted by global warming through the acceleration of microbial respiration via positive feedback loops. ... -
Limits to corporate social responsibility: The challenge of HIV/Aids to sustainable business in South Africa
(Department of Accounting Working Paper Series, No. 83, 2005-11)The legacy of apartheid in South Africa is a divided society with extremes of wealth and poverty. The ANC government has resisted the temptation to overthrow all the institutions established under the apartheid regime and ... -
Line mesh distributions: An alternative approach for multivariate environmental extremes
(Springer (part of Springer Nature), 2019)Copulas and other multivariate models can give joint exceedance probabilities for multivariate events in the naturalenvironment. However, the choice of the most appropriate multivariate model may not always be evident in ... -
Linear acoustic waves in a nonisothermal atmosphere. II. photospheric resonator model of three-minute umbral oscillations
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2019)The velocity oscillations observed in the chromosphere of sunspot umbrae resemble a resonance in that their power spectra are sharply peaked around a period of about three minutes. In order to describe the resonance that ... -
Linear dimensionality reduction in linear time: Johnson-Lindenstrauss-type guarantees for random subspace
(2017)We consider the problem of efficient randomized dimensionality reduction with norm-preservation guarantees. Specifically we prove data-dependent Johnson-Lindenstrauss-type geometry preservation guarantees for Ho's random ... -
Linear Genetic Programming with Experience
(University of Waikato, 2015)A novel method of using Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to improve the performance of Linear Genetic Programming (LGP) is studied. In this study, structures used to organize the trained ML models are called Experience ... -
Linear law for the logarithms of the Riemann periods at simple critical zeta zeros
(American Mathematical Society, 2006)Each simple zero 1/2 + iγn of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line with γn > 0 is a center for the flow s˙ = ξ(s) of the Riemann xi function with an associated period Tn. It is shown that, as γn →∞, log Tn ≥ π/4 ... -
A linear programming approach to fitting rainfall runoff models based on finite mixture hydrographs: a potential for flood forecasting?
(MODSIM, 2007)It is recognised that the transformation of rainfall to discharge is essentially nonlinear and it would seem logical to construct parsimonious nonlinear models to approximate the runoff process. Lumped nonlinear rainfall-runoff ... -
The linear stability of line-tied coronal magnetic fields
(1990)The problem of the linear stability of cylindrically symmetric force-free magnetic equilibria is addressed. The aim is to quantify the severity of ideal MHD disturbances on a variety of line-tied coronal equilibria. ... -
Linear theory of fast reconnection at an X-type neutral point
(1993)A linear theory is developed for the dissipation of the free magnetic energy in small disturbances imposed on the potential field of an X-type neutral point. An eigenmode analysis, using cylindrical coordinates centered ...
