Developing a minimum data set, known as a core outcome set, for future infertility research
(2020)Background: Complex issues, including a failure to consider the perspectives of people with fertility problems when selecting outcomes, variations in outcome definitions, and outcome reporting bias, make the results of ... -
Investigating subantarctic ¹⁴C ages of different peat components: site and sample selection for developing robust age models in dynamic landscapes
(University of Arizona, 2019)Precise radiocarbon (¹⁴C) dating of sedimentary sequences is important for developing robust chronologies of environmental change, but sampling of suitable components can be challenging in highly dynamic landscapes. Here ... -
Monitoring pre-hospital transport of severely injured patients in the Midland Region of New Zealand.
(New Zealand Medical Asssociation, 2018)AIM: Pre-hospital triage strategies aim to identify the type and extent of patient injuries and ensure that they are transferred to the most appropriate trauma centres. Despite the importance of appropriate pre-hospital ... -
Groundwater-surface water interaction - A Lake-Modeller's conceptual view
(GNS Science, 2016)This article explores the groundwater-surface water interaction from a conceptual point of view. -
Does virtue ethics allow us to make better judgments of the actions of others?
(Springer, 2019)Virtue ethics encourages us to judge the actions of others, not merely as right or wrong, but as virtuous (kind, courageous, just, compassionate, etc.) or vicious (cruel, cowardly, unjust, selfish, etc.). In doing so, ... -
Te Pae Mahutonga and the measurement of community capital in regional Aotearoa New Zealand
(New Zealand Demographic Society, 2018)Regionally, iwi and hapū have limited influence over structural changes such as population decline, proximity to labour markets and ageing, and to some extent economic cycles. However, there is still considerable value in ... -
Training and maintaining autonomy-supportive supervisory style in low-skilled occupations
(2019)According to self-determination theory, employees' well-being is related to the autonomy-supportive style of a supervisor. However, the effect of supervision style on well-being remains understudied in low-skilled occupations. ... -
Supervisory skills training for the neglected supervisors: development and preliminary evaluation of an autonomy-supportive programme
(Emerald, 2019)Purpose Previous studies have demonstrated that an autonomy-supportive supervision style is associated with improved well-being and positive behaviours for supervisees. However, autonomy-supportive training (AST) has yet ... -
Mode choice and mode commitment in commuters
(Elsevier, 2020)In New Zealand, like many other developed countries, a majority of trips (67%) involve the use of private cars, producing negative effects on the environment and public health. Interventions aimed to reduce car use can be ... -
Weber's law and the scalar property of timing: A test of canine timing
(MDPI, 2019)Domestic dogs completed a temporal bisection procedure that required a response to one lever following a light stimulus of short duration and to another lever following a light stimulus of a longer duration. The short and ... -
Drivers’ response to speed warnings provided by a smart phone app
(2020)The distractive effects of mobile phones are well documented, but the recent development of mobile phone apps that provide speed advisory warnings raises the possibility that this technology may be used to improve driver ... -
Living the good life: A meta-analysis of authenticity, well-being and engagement
(Elsevier, 2020)The ‘good life’ is described by philosophers and psychologists as consisting of authentic expression of self, a sense of well-being, and active engagement in life and work. Well-being and employee engagement are outcomes ... -
Adopting knowledge building pedagogy to support epistemic agency and collaborative contribution in science classes: A case study in New Zealand schools
(2019)This presentation draws on how secondary science teachers from three schools have helped to develop a knowledge building community with their junior classes -
Non-orthogonally transitive G₂ spike solution
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2015)We generalize the orthogonally transitive (OT) G₂ spike solution to the non-OT G₂ case. This is achieved by applying Geroch's transformation on a Kasner seed. The new solution contains two more parameters than the OT G₂ ... -
State of the art on formal methods for interactive systems
(Springer, 2017)This chapter provides an overview of several formal approaches for the design, specification, and verification of interactive systems. For each approach presented, we describe how they support both modelling and verification ... -

Trends and gaps
(Springer, 2017)This chapter attempts to identify future research directions for formal methods in HCI. It does this using two main approaches. First, we will look at trends within HCI more broadly and the challenges these pose for formal ... -
Case studies
(Springer, 2017)This chapter introduces a set of case studies that are used in the rest of the book. They encompass well known problem domains in Human-Computer Interaction research and provide a practical focus for the approaches presented ... -
Semi-supervised learning using Siamese networks
(Springer, 2019)Neural networks have been successfully used as classification models yielding state-of-the-art results when trained on a large number of labeled samples. These models, however, are more difficult to train successfully for ...
