3D Shape Reconstruction from Multiple Range Image Views
(The University of Waikato, 2006)Shape reconstruction of different three dimensional objects using multiple range images has evolved recently within the recent past. In this research shape reconstruction of a three dimensional object using multiple range ... -
A chemical comparison of snows from Mt Ruapehu, New Zealand and the Polar Plateau, East Antarctica
(The University of Waikato, 1990)The chemistry of surface, snowpit and ice core samples from Mt Ruapehu, New Zealand, was compared to surface snow samples from Mt Egmont-Taranaki, New Zealand, and to snowpit samples from the Polar Plateau, East Antarctica. ... -
A Comparison of Equine Adipose Tissue, Bone Marrow and Peripheral Blood as Sources of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
(University of Waikato, 2014)Lameness is a significant cause of wastage in equine athletes, with reportedly 66% days lost from training being contributed to musculoskeletal injuries. The use of regenerative cell therapies has been suggested as an ... -
A Geological Map of Te Kuiti Sheet BF33 at 1:50 000 scale, King Country Basin, New Zealand
(University of Waikato, 2017)The principal research objective of this thesis has been to produce a new 1:50 000 scale geological map of topographic map BF33 (Te Kuiti Sheet), one of the new Topo 50 topographic map sheets covering New Zealand. The ... -
A Model In Vitro System to Study Heat Shock Protein 60 (HSP60) Expression in Response to Mitochondrial Impairment in Human Cells
(University of Waikato, 2013)Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) are a class of ubiquitously expressed and functionally related proteins found in all living organisms from humans to bacteria. Their expression is increased in response to various cellular stressors ... -
A New Way to Look at Homomorphisms
(University of Waikato, 2013)This thesis is about arbitrary functions between groups. We look at two way to measure how close an arbitrary function is to being a homomorphism. We first look at an action of the group on functions in which homomorphisms ... -
A Population Model of the Thalamus and its Wave Interactions with the Cortex
(University of Waikato, 2014)In this thesis we construct a population model of the thalamus based on the mean-field cortex developed by Steyn-Ross et al. and Liley et al. We allow interactions between the thalamus and cortex via damped wave equations ... -
A preliminary evaluation of tectonic geomorphological signals within the Hamilton Basin
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Over the past year several fault traces have been discovered within the Hamilton Basin, prompting a need for further investigation for tectonic evidence in the basin in order to re asses seismic hazards of the basin. ... -
A Scalable and Fault Tolerant OpenFlow Controller
(University of Waikato, 2015)OpenFlow provides a protocol for updating flow tables in switches. Most current OpenFlow deployments rely on a single controller to control all switches. However, as the number and size of production networks deploying ... -
A Sedimentological and Micropaleontological Study of Quaternary Sections of Cores from the New Zealand Sector of the Southern Ocean
(The University of Waikato, 1998)The Southern Ocean lies between the Subtropical Front (STF) at about 45⁰S latitude and the continental landmass of Antarctica. It plays an important role in global climatic and oceanic circulation patterns, and is responsible ... -
A sedimentological study of three saline lakes in the Dry Valleys of Victoria Land, Antarctica
(University of Waikato, 1975)The Dry Valley region of Victoria Land is the largest ice-free area in Antarctica. Within the frigid arid environment of the Dry Valleys, where the mean annual air temperature is -20℃, there are several permanently ... -
A Study of the length weight relationships and diets of non-indigenous Poecillids in New Zealand geothermal Streams
(University of Waikato, 2016)Poecillids are highly specialised and well adapted to surviving in highly undesirable conditions. Because of this they have been able to establish populations in many areas where have been released. There are two species ... -
A study on molecular systematics of the Antarctic Bryum species and the development of microsatellite DNA markers in Bryum argenteum Hedw.
(The University of Waikato, 2000)The "silver" species Bryum subrotundifolium Jaeg. (Bryaceae) in Antarctica has undergone numerous taxonomic revisions. This research used the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) to ... -
A Taxonomic Review of Corybas rivularis (Orchidaceae) - Inferred from Molecular and Morphological Analyses
(University of Waikato, 2016)This research has expanded the level of precision utilised in critically examining the morphology of Corybas rivularis Rchb.f (Orchidaceae), related species and undescribed populations. Corybas rivularis and related species ... -
The ability of nitrification inhibitors to decrease denitrification rates in dairy farm soils
(The University of Waikato, 2007)Increasing pressure is being placed on the dairy industry to reduce nitrogen losses from soil. Nitrification inhibitors are a management strategy that could be implemented on dairy farms to help reduce losses of nitrogen. ... -
Abundance, behaviour and habitat requirements of the banded kokopu Galaxias fasciatus Gray (Pisces: Galaxiidae)
(The University of Waikato, 1998)The native freshwater banded kokopu (Galaxias fasciatus Gray) is generally regarded as a nocturnal predator of small native forest streams. Current methods for determining absolute abundances of this species in these ... -
Adaptive Interfaces for Massively Multiplayer Online Games
(University of Waikato, 2013)Massively multi-player online role-playing games (MMORPGs), such as World of Warcraft, have become very popular in recent years. These types of games typically feature rich and complex game environments, enabling more ... -
Administration Service for the Tourist Information System (TIP)
(The University of Waikato, 2008)The modern day tourists do not want to deal with the hassle of using a large number of travel guides and paper maps while travelling. They would prefer to be able to access required information via their mobile phones or ... -
Adsorption of Colour from Pulp and Paper Mill Wastewaters onto Diatomaceous Earths
(The University of Waikato, 2007)Abstract Production of pulp and paper from raw wood involves the washing of substantial quantities of highly coloured material from the wood pulp. Although most of this colour is trapped within the mill and the mills ... -
Aerodynamics of two-dimensional sail wings
(The University of Waikato, 1980)The purpose of this work is to obtain the exact solution for the profile and characteristics of a two-dimensional sail, immersed in an inviscid incompressible fluid. An experimental investigation was also performed and ...
