Assessing the welfare of captive male giraffes in a bachelor herd using behavioural and hormonal analysis
(The University of Waikato, 2021)As biodiversity continues to decline, zoos play an essential role in ex-situ species conservation. An animal’s ability to feel pain and pleasure drives the need to ensure zoos maintain high animal welfare standards. This ... -
Effects of Drying Conditions on Protein Properties of Blood meal
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Blood meal is a by-product of the meat industry produced through drying of animal blood. It contains about 85 wt.% proteins. Drying has been used as a method to preserve biomaterials and involves lowering of the water ... -
Environmental Aspects of Proteinous Bioplastic
(The University of Waikato, 2010)During the processing of Novatein Thermoplastic Protein (NTP), volatile compounds are released which are odourous and potentially harmful. For NTP to be manufactured on a commercial scale the odour that currently arises ... -
Extending the shelf life of packaged biltong
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Biltong is an intermediate moisture ready-to-eat meat snack that originated in South Africa. Low water activity, increased solutes content and low pH help extend biltong’s shelf life. A Hamilton company, Safari Biltong, ... -
Extraction of amaranth starch from an aqueous medium using microfiltration
(University of Waikato, 2011)Amaranth starch granules are very small, which makes them suitable for a range of specialty applications. This starch is difficult to extract by wet milling due to the strong association between the starch and protein, the ... -
Hydrolysed protein as a renewable plasticiser for renewable materials
(University of Waikato, 2016)Novatein Thermoplastic (NTP) is a bloodmeal based plastic developed by the University of Waikato by mixing bloodmeal (by-product of slaughterhouses) with water, sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium sulfite and urea, and plasticiser ... -
Investigation of anti-fouling processing aids in the primary evaporation of whey permeate
(The University of Waikato, 2009)The production of lactose via the concentration of whey permeate is an important process in the dairy industry. Hautapu dairy factory, owned by Fonterra Cooperative Group, process milk into a range of dairy-based products ... -
Littoral sediment budget and beach morphodynamics, Pukehina Beach to Matata, Bay of Plenty
(University of Waikato, 1993)The Pukehina-Matata coastal sector is one of the least studied parts of the Bay of Plenty coastline. Currently this section of coast is in a stable, tending towards erosive, condition, with historical erosion of 0-0.2 ... -
Micro-mechanical predictive modelling as an aid to CAD based analysis of composite sporting equipment
(The University of Waikato, 2008)The sport and leisure industry in New Zealand (NZ) has the potential to become a major user of composite materials. Given the size of NZ industry, design and manufacturing strategies based on virtual engineering should be ... -
The Molecular Weight Characterisation of Pinus radiata Bark Condensed Tannins
(The University of Waikato, 2007)Crude condensed tannins extracted from Pinus radiata bark (sourced from Tokoroa) with various solvents (Hot water (HW), methanol/water/acetic acid (MWA), acetone/water (AW) and hot aqueous 2% sulphite/urea solution (SFU)) ... -
Seismic hazard in the Taupo - Reporoa Region
(The University of Waikato, 1995)New Zealand lies astride a convergent plate margin, as a result it experiences hundreds of earthquakes a year. This study was commissioned in response to Environment Waikato's contingency planning for such natural ... -
Strengthening Rotationally Moulded Products: Development of a Rotomouldable Thermoplastic Composite
(The University of Waikato, 2008)Rotational moulding is a process with a range of unique benefits, currently experiencing significant growth within industry. A primary limitation of the process, however, is the restricted range of suitable materials and ... -
Studies of anodising sludge and its uses
(The University of Waikato, 2008)Anodising is an important finishing technique used to produce controlled oxide coating on aluminium extrusions which impart aesthetic finish, longer life and resistance to corrosion and abrasion. The anodising process ... -
The processing, production and improvement of hemp-fibre reinforced polypropylene composite materials
(The University of Waikato, 2004)Increasing worldwide environmental awareness is encouraging scientific research into the development of cheaper, more environmentally friendly and more sustainable construction and packaging materials. Natural fibre ... -
Using ESI-MS to investigate the organometallic compound Cp₂Ti(SC₆H₄CO₂) and closely related compounds
(The University of Waikato, 2019)This thesis reports investigations on the electrospray ionisation mass spectrometric (ESI-MS) behaviour of some metallocene complexes of titanium and molybdenum. The ESI-MS behaviour of titanocene dichloride (Cp₂TiCl₂) ... -
Volcanology of the Owharoa and Waikino ignimbrites, Waihi, Coromandel Volcanic Zone
(University of Waikato, 2016)The Waihi Caldera (Coromandel Volcanic Zone) is defined by a 15 km diameter gravity anomaly, which was active during the Pliocene and has been infilled by a 1.5 km-thick succession of volcanic deposits and lake sediments. ...
