Palatability of Goat's versus Cow's Milk: Insights from the Analysis of Eating Behavior and Gene Expression in the Appetite-Relevant Brain Circuit in Laboratory Animal Models.
(2019)Goat's (GM) and cow's milk (CM) are dietary alternatives with select health benefits shown in human and animal studies. Surprisingly, no systematic analysis of palatability or preference for GM vs. CM has been performed ... -
The validity of resting metabolic rate (RMR)-prediction equations and reliability of measured RMR in female athletes
(Berkeley Electronic Press, 2019)The aim of the current study was to; 1) assess the test-retest reliability of an indirect calorimetry analyzer (Parvo Medics TrueOne), and 2) compare measured RMR with three RMR-predictive (pRMR) equations in female athletes. ... -
Health information research privacy standards should include Māori perspectives on privacy
(New Zealand Medical Association, 2019)Secondary research using health records and other personal health data (henceforth referred to as health information research) is a valuable tool for tackling New Zealand’s health and social challenges. It requires however ... -
Telling “Us” in the “Days Destined to You: Response Life-Telling: Indigenous Oral Autobiography and the Performance of Relation
(University of Hawai'i Press, 2016)This “tau-utuutu” (responsive) protocol feels familiar to me.² My turn to speak, to respond, to share in a conversation with Warren Cariou’s stimulating essay on “Life-Telling,” Indigenous autobiography, and Dovie Thomason. ... -
Pulse-shaping feed-forward-compensated generator
(2019-05-20)A typical electrical stimulator has a battery, step-up converter, voltage regulator, pulse generator with a micro-controller providing the clocking signal. This outputs a step response with a specified amplitude and ... -
Designing, measuring and modelling a small-scale coil and stimulation circuit for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
(2019)In TMS rapid electromagnetic fields (EM) are applied to the brain. The fundamental effects of TMS are poorly understood so we need smaller coils to perform invasive measurements on mice. Based on established physics ... -
New Zealand history is Maori history: Tikanga as the ethical foundation of historical scholarship In Aotearoa New Zealand
(University of Auckland, 2015)IT SHOULD COME AS NO SURPRISE TO FIND that New Zealand history is Māori history. In 1987 when Tipene O’Regan stated that the ‘the past belongs to all New Zealanders, but first it is ours’, he was drawing attention to New ... -
Introductory notes to working paper series ‘a social history of mining in the Te Aroha mining district’
(Historical Research Unit, University of Waikato, 2016)These working papers are provided as a resource for historians and genealogists. When covering the lives of individuals, they are deliberately as detailed as possible – possibly too detailed on such aspects as land ownership, ... -
Boosting decision stumps for dynamic feature selection on data streams
(2019)Feature selection targets the identification of which features of a dataset are relevant to the learning task. It is also widely known and used to improve computation times, reduce computation requirements, and to decrease ... -
Nozick's experience machine thought experiment has many problems, but the freebie problem ain't one of ‘em
(2018)For at least 30 years, many have argued that Robert Nozick’s Experience Machine thought experiment is the basis of a knockdown argument against mental state theories of wellbeing. In the last 10 years, a few objecting ... -
Wellbeing and public policy: Can New Zealand be a leading light for the ‘Wellbeing Approach’?
(2018)Delegates left the Third International Conference on Wellbeing and Public Policy with great expectations following three days of inspirational addresses by some of the world’s most prominent thinkers and policymakers. In ... -
Experience machine experiments: Testing the importance of relationships and individual differences
(2018)Recent experiments on experience machines reveal that living in reality doesn’t always dominate our prudential preferences. Felipe de Brigard (2010) and others have suggested that our preference for the status quo is a ... -
Is wellbeing and public policy on the same flight path as positive psychology?
(2018)In this talk, I outline the progress in wellbeing and public policy in New Zealand and discuss the potential roles for subjective measures of wellbeing. I will argue that subjective measures should be incorporated, including ... -
The politics and public policies I hope for
(2018)The Trump administration in the United States demonstrates the power that politics can have over public policy. The recent leadership struggles in Australian political parties, the personality-based nature of most popular ... -
Foaming behavior of novatein and blends with polyethylene compatibilised by maleic anhydride
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2017)Novatein® thermoplastic protein (NTP), a bloodmeal based thermoplastic, was successfully foamed without blowing agent or blending with other polymers using a BOY-35A injection moulder in free expansion mode. Previously, ... -
Has the deceived businessman been deceiving philosophers?
(2017)In the deceived businessman thought experiment, we are asked to imagine the lives of two businessmen, equal in net pleasant experiences, but unequal in the amount of deception. Both lives are experienced as equally happy ... -
The use of Appreciative Inquiry as a way to empower Solomon Islands beginning science teachers
(2018)Appreciative Inquiry is a process with considerable potential to promote teacher development in the Solomon Islands within their ‘villages of learning’. The implementation of Appreciative Inquiry as part of teacher mentoring ... -
Researcher decisions in presentation: Using a painting scheme to stage research poetry
(Wilf Malcom Institute of Educational Research, The University of Waikato, 2018)Even when we use participants’ words, we as researchers, craft and (re)present those words in the dissemination of the research. Laurel Richardson terms this “staging”. She writes “when we write social science, we use our ... -
Against epistocracy
(2018)There has been a recent resurgence in epistocratic arguments against our democratic institutions. Jason Brennan (2009, 2011, 2016) is a popular representative of the approach. Here, I criticise Brennan’s account and offer ... -
K₁-congruences for three-dimensional Lie groups
(Springer, 2019)We completely describe K₁ (Zₚ [[G∞]]) and its localisations by using an infinite family of p-adic congruences, where G∞ is any solvable p-adic Lie group of dimension 3. This builds on earlier work of Kato when ...
