The effect of group size and communication modes in CSCW environments
(IEEE Computer Society, 2006)An earlier study by M. Masoodian et al. (1995) has examined the impact of different human-to-human communication modes on computer supported work involving groups of two people. Based on the findings of this study an ... -
Interactive solar panel simulation tool - from GHI to PV output
(University of Bamberg Press, 2017)The production and integration of solar panels is steadily growing in New Zealand and worldwide. The most common way to install solar panels in New Zealand is flat on top of the most north-facing roof. This method is used ... -
Development and application of large interactive display surfaces
(2001)Recent hardware developments have made possible the construction of relatively inexpensive large interactive display surfaces (LIDS). We have built prototype systems with office whiteboard sized displays using off-the-shelf ... -
Impacts of hatchery-reared mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi stocking on wild fish community and water quality in a shallow Yangtze lake
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)Mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi, a valuable piscivorous fish, have been stocked into many lakes in China since the 1990s. This study did the first attempt to evaluate the ecological effects of hatchery-reared mandarin fish ... -
Variation in mandible shape and body size of house mice Mus musculus in five separate New Zealand forest habitats
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)This study investigates variation in house mouse Mus musculus body size and mandible shape across New Zealand, using geometric morphometrics and biomechanical advantage analyses. The Mus phylogroups currently known in New ... -
Simulating the impact of household energy consumption on the electricity grid
(University of Bamberg Press, 2015)This paper presents a bottom-up modelling approach for stochastic production of electricity consumption profiles in households. It represents a preliminary work on individual appliance use modelling in households, as part ... -
Freeform: A Tool for Sketching Form Designs
(British HCI Group, 2003)This demonstration shows the tool we have developed for hand-sketching user interfaces. Our motivation for developing this tool is to provide an environment where novice programmers can move freely along the design continuum ... -
The explicit conflict check algorithm implemented in the Waters library
(Department of Computer Science, The University of Waikato, 2018)This working paper describes the implementation of explicit model checking algorithms to verify the nonblocking or nonconflicting property of discrete event systems. Explicit algorithms enumerate and store all reachable ... -
Transitions and transience
(2017)A governmental focus is on supporting ‘priority’ families to take part in early childhood education. This presentation discusses findings from Stage 4 of an evaluation of the Ministry’s Early Childhood Education Participation ... -
Discourses of economic investment and child vulnerability in early childhood education
(WIlf Malcolm Institute of Educational Research, 2017)This article explores discourses of economic investment and child vulnerability that have become dominant under New Zealand’s National-led Government as a rationale for policy directions in early childhood education. It ... -
Summer meltwater and spring sea ice primary production, light climate and nutrients in an Arctic estuary, Kangedussuaq, west Greenland
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)The estuary is dominated by sea ice and snow cover from winter to spring, and a highly turbid meltwater plume during summer. The aims were to quantify the variability in optical conditions, inorganic nutrients, and primary ... -
The effects of velocity and nitrate on Phormidium accrual cycles: a stream mesocosm experiment
(University of Chicago Press, 2018)Proliferations of benthic cyanobacteria in the genus Phormidium are a global concern because of their increasing prevalence and ability to produce harmful toxins. Most studies have been observational and have linked ... -
Distribution of tetrodotoxin in the New Zealand clam, Paphies australis, established using immunohistochemistry and liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry
(MDPI, 2018)Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is one of the most potent neurotoxins known. It was originally thought to only occur in puffer fish but has now been identified in twelve different classes of freshwater and marine organisms, including ... -
From pillow to podium: a review on understanding sleep for elite athletes
(Dove Medical Press, 2018)Sleep is considered vital to human health and well-being, and is critical to physiological and cognitive functioning. Elite athletes experience high training and competition demands, and are often exposed to various factors, ... -
Intragastric preloads of L-tryptophan reduce ingestive behavior via oxytocinergic neural mechanisms in male mice
(Elsevier, 2018)Human and laboratory animal studies suggest that dietary supplementation of a free essential amino acid, l-tryptophan (TRP), reduces food intake. It is unclear whether an acute gastric preload of TRP decreases consumption ... -
The crystal structures of 1-(4-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl)-3-benzyl-methylimidazolium bromides
(Elsevier, 2018)The crystal structures of 1-(4-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl)-2-methyl-3-benzylimidazolium bromide (8) and 1-(4-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl)-3-benzyl-4-methylimidazolium bromide (9) have been determined by single ... -
The Routledge handbook of planning for health and well-being: shaping a sustainable and healthy future [Book Review]
(Routledge, 2018)This article reviews the book “The Routledge handbook of planning for health and well-being: shaping a sustainable and healthy future”, edited by Hugh Barton, Susan Thompson, Sarah Burgess and Marcus Grant, Abingdon, Oxon, ... -
Lower bounds on the sizes of defining sets in full n-Latin squares and full designs
(Springer Japan KK, 2018)The full n-Latin square is the n×n array with symbols 1, 2, . . . , n in each cell. In this paper we show, as part of a more general result,that any defining set for the full n-Latin square has size n³(1 − o(1)). The full ... -
Constructing (0,1)-matrices with large minimal defining sets
(Elsevier, 2018)If D is a partially filled-in (0, 1)-matrix with a unique completion to a (0, 1)-matrix M (with prescribed row and column sums), we say that D is a defining set for M. Let A₂ₘ,ₘbe the set of (0, 1)-matrices of dimensions ... -
On the distances between Latin squares and the smallest defining set size
(Elsevier, 2016)We show that for each Latin square L of order n ≥ 2 , there exists a Latin square L’ ≠ L of order n such that L and L’ differ in at most 8√n̅ cells. Equivalently, each Latin square of order n contains a Latin trade of ...
