1080 and the fight to save New Zealand's wildlife
(LakesWater Quality Society, 2017)I grinned when I saw the title of the symposium was ‘Troublemakers’. I am here because I wrote ‘Protecting Paradise’ and in it I looked at the science around 1080. I explored some of the popular myths and fallacies around ... -
2-D histories: media texts and the creation of the past
(1996)Why might it be desirable or possible for historians to analyse media texts? The objective of this paper is to outline some theoretical considerations which seem necessary to the planning and execution of such a research ... -
35,000 years of hydrological variability in northern New Zealand from speleothem magnetism
(2018)Speleothem magnetism is the study of the origin and geo-enviromagnetic significance of magnetic minerals in speleothems. Allogenic magnetic particles are transported to speleothem sites from soils and sediments by hydrological ... -
3D face recognition using multiview keypoint matching
(IEEE, 2009)A novel algorithm for 3D face recognition based point cloud rotations, multiple projections, and voted keypoint matching is proposed and evaluated. The basic idea is to rotate each 3D point cloud representing an individual’s ... -
3D Printing of Natural Fibre Reinforced Recycled Polypropylene
(The University of Auckland, 2017)The adverse effects that waste plastics are having on the environment is becoming increasingly apparent. However, the plastics recycling industry in New Zealand is entirely market driven, necessitating the development of ... -
3D-printed Acoustic Directional Couplers
(2014)Acoustic Directional Couplers permit separation of forward and reverse sound pressure waves. This separation opens the way to traceable precision acoustic reflection measurements. In order to span the audio frequency range, ... -
A Generic Alerting Service for Digital Libraries
(Association for Computing Machinery, Inc. (ACM), 2005-06-07)Users of modern digital libraries (DLs) can keep themselves up-to-date by searching and browsing their favorite collections, or more conveniently by resorting to an alerting service. The alerting service notifies its clients ... -
A log analysis study of 10 years of ebook consumption in academic library collections
(Springer, 2014)Even though libraries have been offering eBooks for more than a decade, very little is known about eBook access and consumption in academic library collections. This paper addresses this gap with a log analysis study of ... -
A supercapacitor based enhancement technique for stand-alone surge protection circuits
(IEEE, 2013)With the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors predicting below-25nm feature-size VLSIs, powered by DC power supplies of less than 1V, protection against transients has become mandatory for modern electronic ... -
A workflow execution platform for collaborative artifact-centric business processes
(Springer Verlag, 2014)To execute an artifact-centric process model, current workflow execution approaches require it to be converted to some existing executable language (e.g., BPEL) in order to run on a workflow system. We argue that the ... -
Access and equity: second chance education bring the policy directives into life
(School of Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work, Massey University, 2001)This case study illustrates how, in a time of exclusion, some initiatives still attempt to embrace the traditional concerns of inclusion. The University of Waikato in 2000 decided to push the access and equity policy ... -
An accountability model for Pakeha practitioners
(Maori and Psychology Research Unit, University of Waikato, 1999)This paper outlines a model of accountability for Pakeha practitioners developed over many years as a practising community psychologist involved in research and development projects in Aotearoa in the 1980s and 1990s, ... -
Accounting and accountability in Fiji: A review and synthesis
(2014)This paper reviews accounting and accountability research in Fiji. The review is based on 41 papers which were published in accounting refereed journals, professional journals, edited book chapters and thesis and other ... -
Accounting for the costs of recruiting and training
(2011-06-27)We investigate the investments made by accounting firms into recruiting and training new employees into entry-level positions. This includes developing a model to capture both the direct and indirect investments/ costs ... -
Acquiring metadata to support biographies of museum artefacts
(Springer, 2018)Museum collections are primarily experienced in physical museums. Metadata and linked data have the potential to support new models of interaction with heritage objects outside museums. Object biographies are a conceptual ... -
Active Electromagnetic Damping for Lightweight Electric Vehicles.
(IEEE, 2015-01-17)Due to the low weight of most current electric vehicles, the effectiveness of commercial passive dampers is reduced when compared to current production automobiles. Active dampers allow for a significant reduction in the ... -
Active learning of soft rules for system modelling
(1996)Using rule learning algorithms to model systems has gained considerable interest in the past. The underlying idea of active learning is to learning algorithm influence the selection of training examples. The presented ... -
Active templates: Manipulating pointers with pictures
(1994)Active templates are a semi-automatic visual mechanism for generating algorithms for manipulating pointer-based data structures. The programmer creates a picture showing the affected part of a data structure before and ... -
The adaptation of cognitive behavioural therapy for adult Maori clients with depression: A pilot study
(Maori and Psychology Research Unit, University of Waikato, 2008)A semistructured cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) programme for depression was adapted for use with Maori adult clients with depression. Adaptations were developed in consultation with an advisory group consisting of ... -
Adaptive feature thresholding for off-line signature verification
(IEEE Press, 2008)This paper introduces Adaptive Feature Thresholding (AFT) which is a novel method of person-dependent off-line signature verification. AFT enhances how a simple image feature of a signature is converted to a binary feature ...
