Dwelling in the city: A qualitative exploration of the human-nature relationship in three types of urban greenspace
(Elsevier BV, 2023-02-01)The combination of increasing numbers of people in cities, coupled with decreasing levels of biodiversity, is hypothesised to result in the extinction of experience, or the continued disintegration of the human relationship ... -
Mindfulness-Based Attention Training in the Navy: A Feasibility Study.
(2023-02-01)Mind wandering is common during daily activities and is even more prevalent under stressful conditions, which could lead to lapses in attention and poor performance. Newly recruited military personnel who undergo demanding ... -
An overview on recent biomedical applications of biopolymers: Their role in drug delivery systems and comparison of major systems
(Elsevier BV, 2023-02)Polymers are ubiquitous in our daily lives, from workplaces to homes. Biopolymers are becoming more popular as an alternative to petroleum-based polymers because of their lower environmental impact due to their low carbon ... -

Extracting remotely sensed water quality parameters from shallow intertidal estuaries
(2023-01-01)Sentinel-2 imagery is potentially ideal for providing a rapid assessment of the ecological condition of estuarine water due to its high temporal and spatial resolution and coverage. However, for optically shallow waters, ... -
Strong Dispersal Limitation of Microbial Communities at Shackleton Glacier, Antarctica
(2023-01-01)Microbial communities can be structured by both deterministic and stochastic processes, but the relative importance of these processes remains unknown. The ambiguity partly arises from an inability to disentangle soil ... -
Temporal dynamics of geothermal microbial communities in Aotearoa-New Zealand
(2023-01-01)Microbial biogeography studies, in particular for geothermal-associated habitats, have focused on spatial patterns and/or individual sites, which have limited ability to describe the dynamics of ecosystem behaviour. Here, ... -
A pilot study of application of the Stroke Riskometer mobile app for assessment of the course and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 among hospitalised patients
(Karger Publishers, 2023-01)Early determination of COVID-19 severity and health outcomes could facilitate better treatment of patients. Different methods and tools have been developed for predicting outcomes of COVID-19, but they are difficult to use ... -
