Note on random raindrops and sampling error
(IWA Publishing, 1980)A number of variables of interest in precipitation studies can be interpreted as sums of random numbers of random variables, where the summed quantity is a power transformation of raindrop diameter. Included in this category ... -
A note on the average propensity to consume, wealth and threshold adjustment
(Elsevier, 2013)We explore the connection between the average propensity to consume (APC) and wealth to income ratio (WY) in the US. We find evidence of a long-run relationship characterised by threshold error correction. It is the APC ... -
Note on the occurrence of Taupo pumice in the Hamilton basin
(Waikato Geological Society, The University of Waikato, 1967)The presence of a thin layer of pumice lapilli and ash close to the surface of the Rukuhia and Moanatuatua peat bogs was recorded by Grange and Taylor (1939). Since this time a similar band of pumice has been noted in many ... -
Note on the pumped storage potential of the Onslow-Manorburn depression, New Zealand
(New Zealand Hydrological Society, 2005)The Onslow-Manorburn depression in the South Island of New Zealand has possibility for development as the upper reservoir of the world's largest pumped storage scheme, as measured by an energy storage capacity of 10,200 ... -
Note on y-truncation: a simple approach to generating bounded distributions for environmental applications
(Elsevier, 2007)It may sometimes be desirable to introduce bounds into probability distributions to formalise the presence of upper or lower physical limits to data to which the distribution has been applied. For example, an upper bound ... -
Notes on the belemnite content of the Heterian and Ohauan stages at Kawhia Harbour, New Zealand
(Waikato Geological Society, The University of Waikato, 1968)The belemnite content of the Heterian and Ohauan stages at Kawhia Harbour is described. Six major species or groups are differentiated, each of which ranges through several hundred feet of strata. Other minor elements are ... -
Notes on the hydrology of the Waikato River
(Waikato Geological Society, The University of Waikato, 1967)The catchment area of the Waikato River is 5,500 square miles. If its source is accepted as being the Upper Waikato, then its distance to the sea at Port Waikato including its journey through Lake Taupo is 266 miles. It ... -
Notes: an experiment in CSCW
(1996-04)Computer Supported Co-operative Work (CSCW) systems are complex, yet no computer-based tools of any sophistication exist to support their development. Since several people often need to work together on the same project ... -
Notice from the Editor
(Waikato Geological Society, The University of Waikato, 1971)Notice from the Editor from Volume 5, Number 2, 1971 of Earth Science Journal. -
The Nourishing Revolution: Exploring the Praxis of the Weston A. Price Foundation
(University of Waikato, 2011)As consumers of food, we are faced with many choices every day. We are encouraged to make healthy choices, but ‘healthy’ in today’s supermarket can mean many things: heart healthy, light, lite, cholesterol reducing, gluten ... -
Novel approaches for modelling changes in phytoplankton diversity and lake ecosystem function
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Ecosystem function represents the collective outcome of many different processes. Function may be interrupted by events that originate from outside a system, influencing biological diversity dynamics. Difficulties in ... -
Novel Brominated Alkaloids from the Bryozoan Amathia citrina
(University of Waikato, 2017)Sixteen bryozoan species from the United Kingdom and New Zealand were surveyed for the presence of brominated secondary metabolites by Liquid Chromatography tandem Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) analysis. Brominated metabolites ... -
Novel compounds for immunoassay of small biomolecules
(The University of Waikato, 2005)A series of progesterone-4-ovalbumin conjugates with different length intermediate linkers were applied as coating antigens in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) format to determine antibody-binding performance ... -
A novel deterministic approach for aspect-based opinion mining in tourism products reviews
(Elsevier, 2014-12-01)This work proposes an extension of Bing Liu's aspect-based opinion mining approach in order to apply it to the tourism domain. The extension concerns with the fact that users refer differently to different kinds of products ... -
A novel drifter designed for use with a mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler in shallow environments
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2013)We present a novel design for a surface drifter, mounted with a pulse-coherent Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) for measuring near-surface (depths 0.18-1 m) flows. During repeated drifter deployments over the tidal ... -
A Novel Implant Electrode Design Safe in the RF Field of MRI Scanners
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017)Patients with medical implants are often unable to receive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnostic treatment, because the conductive leads can concentrate the RF excitation field and generate dangerous heating of nervous ... -
A novel perforated electrode flow through cell design for chlorine generation
(Springer, 2010)Chlorination remains a predominant method for disinfecting drinking water. Electrogeneration of chlorine has the potential to become the favoured method of chlorine production if costs can be lowered and chlorine generation ... -
Novel polymeric microcapsules for targeted drug delivery
(University of Waikato, 2009)Microencapsulation is a technology in which small particles or droplets are entrapped by a coating to give the particles with many useful properties. Microcapsules have been used to protect the encapsulated material from ... -
Novel polyoxometalates: Is antimony the new molybdenum?
(New Zealand Institute of Chemistry, 2012)Polyoxometalates based on Mo, W or V have been known for a long time and present a diverse range of structures, with the [XMo₁₂O₄₀]ⁿ⁻ Keggin ions (X = P, Si ,…) perhaps the best known.¹ They are still subject to intense ... -
Novel six-coordinate Aryl- and Alkyltin complexes
(New Zealand Institute of Chemistry, 2002)Organo-tin compounds have wide applications as pesticides and as intermediates for organic synthesis.¹ They are invariably Sn(IV) derivatives and are generally four-coordinate.² The mixed organo/chioro compounds of the ...
