Modelling the anaestheto-dynamic phase transition of the cerebral cortex
(The University of Waikato, 2002)This thesis examines a stochastic model for the electrical behaviour of the cerebral cortex under the influence of a general anaesthetic agent. The modelling element is the macrocolumn, an organized assembly of ∼10⁵ ... -
Three-dimensional biomechanical analysis of fast bowling in cricket
(The University of Waikato, 2003)A three-dimensional (3-D) dynamics model of the human body has been developed to provide a mechanical basis for evaluating fast bowling technique. Thirty-four fast bowlers were selected for study and divided into four ... -
Acoustic Vector Network Analyser
(The University of Waikato, 2017)This research aims at increasing the accuracy and precision of characterising acoustic materials by adapting well-known techniques developed for the radio-frequency domain to the acoustic domain. Two novel methods are ... -
Supecapacitor-assisted Temperature Modification Apparatus (SCATMA) and Fast Supercapacitor Charger
(University of Waikato, 2016)This thesis presents the design and development of the supercapacitor-assisted "instant" water heating system as well as a new power converter topology to fast charge a supercapacitor bank. Delayed delivery of hot water ... -
Analysis on Supercapacitor Assisted Low Dropout (SCALDO) Regulators
(University of Waikato, 2014)State-of-the-art electronic systems employ three fundamental techniques for DC-DC converters: (a) switch-mode power supplies (SMPS); (b) linear power supplies; (c) switched capacitor (charge pump) converters. In practical ...
