Responses of the fish community and biomass in Lake Ohinewai to fish removal and the koi carp exclusion barrier
(Waikato Regional Council, 2017)The objectives of this research were to determine the biomass of koi carp (Cyprinus carpio) and other fish species in Lake Ohinewai in 2016 by two-sample mark-recapture methods and to compare these estimates with similar ... -
Maximising potential: The psychological effects of the youth development programme Project K
(New Zealand Psychological Society, 2017)Project K is a positive youth development programme targeting 13-15 year old students with low self-efficacy. It involves three components: wilderness adventure, community challenge and individual mentoring. This longitudinal ... -
Contract cheating: What educators can do when their students are getting third parties to undertake their assessment
(2019)This is the Powerpoint presentation (28 slides) which supported my oral presentation at LearnFest19, organised by the Centre for Tertiary Teaching and Learning (CeTTL) on 6 November 2019. -
A snapshot of reading, searching, and browsing preferences of tertiary students
(BCS Learning and Development LtdBCS Learning and Development Ltd, 2018)Unanswered questions remain regarding how to design search result pages in library catalogues that offer effective library seeking experiences for users — especially those designed for small screen mobile devices. This ... -
Heat treatment, impact properties, and fracture behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V alloy produced by powder compact extrusion.
(MDPI, 2019)The mechanical properties of titanium and titanium alloys are very sensitive to processing, microstructure, and impurity levels. In this paper, a blended powder mixture of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was consolidated by powder compact ... -
Designing an internet search interface for children
(BCS Learning and Development Ltd, 2018)Interaction design and interface design research for children is of critical importance to ensure an educated future generation ready for the technology-focussed world. Significantly, the empirical studies that guide ... -
Tracking jockeys in a cluttered environment with group dynamics
(ACM Press, 2019)This project aims to detect and track jockeys at the turning point of the horse races. The detection and tracking of the objects is a very challenging task in a crowded environment such as horse racing due to occlusion. ... -
Solving complex retrofit problems using constraints and bridge analysis
(2018)The aim of this paper is to conduct retrofit analysis of large, complex industrial Heat Exchanger Networks using an automated Bridge Analysis. Large, complex networks have many different possible retrofit designs, or ... -
An AR memory app based on Māori mnemonic aids
(BCS Learning and Development Ltd, 2018)Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a world-wide “silent epidemic” causing a variety of memory issues for those affected. Although several software approaches aim to aid memory recollection, they are inadequate for many TBI ... -
Tertiary students' preferences for library search results pages on a mobile device
(Springer, 2018)Technology advancements and availability will result in library catalogues becoming more regularly accessed on small screen mobile devices in coming years with academics and students likely to be amongst the earliest ... -
eReader interface design for page-turning
(BCS Learning and Development Ltd, 2018)There remain numerous unanswered questions regarding how to design eReaders that are effective for the range of reading purposes required by readers. This broad research area requires the attention of HCI, design, and ... -
Accounting for stream variability in retrofit problems using Monte Carlo simulation
(2018)The aim of this paper is to use Monte Carlo simulation to analyse the effect of stream data variation on the economic performance of retrofit designs. The input stream data is fitted to a distribution which can be sampled ... -
Use of simple thermal conductivity models to assess the reliability of measured thermal conductivity data
(Elsevier, 2017)Thermal conductivity data are important for modelling thermal processes and designing refrigeration systems. The literature contains a large number of data for food products, but many are questionable, whether due to ... -
Research support in New Zealand university libraries
(Informa UK Limited, 2019)Researcher-facing librarians in New Zealand are providing guidance across more of the research lifecycle than ever before in response to an increasingly complex scholarly ecosystem. This research explored the development ... -
PositivelyPregnant: Using guided prompts in a stress-management app for pregnant women
(BCS Learning and Development Ltd., 2018)This paper reports on our interdisciplinary research on stress management for pregnant women. We developed a mobile app – PositivelyPregnant – for supporting the mental wellbeing of pregnant women in New Zealand. The app ... -
Who was that? Enriched eReading through in-book visualisation
(BCS Learning and Development Ltd, 2018)The shift to electronic books has opened a realm of possibilities for assisting users in reading books, but little of this potential has been realised. Today’s eReaders offer simple search features but rarely make any ... -
Play, pause, and skip: touch screen media player interaction on the move
