Life-history of Lake Horowhenua common smelt: analysis of otolith chemistry and vertebral counts
(Environmental Research Institute, The University of Waikato, 2013)Lake Horowhenua is a coastal eutrophic lake on the west coast of the North Island. A recent survey of the lake found lower than expected fish diversity but comparatively abundant native fish populations, comprising mostly ... -
Lifelong science learning
(New Zealand Association of Science Teachers, 2010)The author discusses the incorporation of lifelong learning in the study of science in New Zealand. He explains two preliminary thoughts related to the creation of a setting for lifelong learning in the field of science ... -
Lifestyle sport, public policy and youth engagement
(Sage, 2013)In this paper we consider the development of parkour in the South of England, and its use in public policy debates and initiatives around youth, physical activity, and risk. Based on in-depth qualitative interviews with ... -
Lifting barriers: Leadership, tactical, and strategic issues from, and for, indigenous community development
(Te Wananga o Aotearoa, 2006)This paper uses learnings from a project with indigenous youth to engage with a recurring challenge in indigenous community organisation (ICO) development initiatives: The unwitting detraction from outcome efficacy by ... -
Lifting the Silence: Ethical Representation of Mental Illness in Contemporary Young Adult Fiction
(University of Waikato, 2017)Young adult (YA) fiction is a fast-growing area of literature that is constantly responding to commercial pressures and the demands of its growing audience. Although it has a large commercial popularity, the critical focus ... -
Lifting the Veil: Muslim women's adjustment to a New Zealand university
(The University of Waikato, 2008)Abstract Due to a decline in the number of domestic students in many New Zealand and other foreign Western countries' universities, there is more recruitment of international students. In New Zealand universities, beside ... -
Ligand exchange reactions of [Re₂(μ-OR)₃(CO)₆]⁻(R = H, Me) with sulfur, selenium, phosphorus and nitrogen donor ligands, investigated by electrospray mass spectrometry
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2000)Negative-ion electrospray mass spectrometry has been used to investigate the reactions of the dinuclear rhenium aggregates [Re₂(μ-OH)₃(CO)₆]⁻ 1 and [Re₂(μ-OMe)₃(CO)₆]⁻ 2 with a range of thiols, benzeneselenol, and some ... -
Ligand functionalization, reactivity, and transformation at the selenide centers of [Pt₂(μ-Se)₂(PPh₃)₄] with organic halides
(American Chemical Society, 2002)The selenium centers of [Pt₂(μ-Se)₂(PPh₃)₄] are subject to electrophilic attack from various organic halides. Reactions with MeI, n-BuCl, α,α⁶-dichloro-p-xylene, and α,α⁶-dichloro-o-xylene give [Pt₂(μ-Se)(μ-SeMe)(PPh₃)₄]⁺, ... -
Ligand-stabilization of an unusual square-based pyramidal geometry of Cd(II) and Zn(II) in an heterometallic {MPt₂S₂} core (M = Cd, Zn)
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2000)Two heterometallic complexes, [Pt₂MCl(bipy)(PPh₃)₄(μ₃-S)₂][PF₆] (M = Zn, 2, Cd, 3) were synthesized from [Pt₂(PPh₃)₄(μ-S)₂] and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. ... -
Light attenuation characteristics of glacially-fed lakes
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)Transparency is a fundamental characteristic of aquatic ecosystems and is highly responsive to changes in climate and land use. The transparency of glacially-fed lakes may be a particularly sensitive sentinel characteristic ... -
Light interception efficiency explained by two simple variables: a test using a diversity of small- to medium-sized woody plants
(Wiley, 2012-01)•Plant light interception efficiency is a crucial determinant of carbon uptake by individual plants and by vegetation. Our aim was to identify whole-plant variables that summarize complex crown architecture, which can be ... -
Light Levels and Driver Perception of Speed: A study examining egospeed under simulated day and night lighting conditions in a rural setting
(University of Waikato, 2015)International studies show that globally, drivers are statistically more likely to be involved in collisions during the night than they are during the day. However, the exact mechanisms behind this have not been fully ... -
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 ... -
