Reliability of Repeated Nordic Hamstring Strength in Rugby Players Using a Load Cell Device.
(2022-12-13)Hamstring strain injuries are one of the most common injuries in Rugby Union players, representing up to 15% of all sustained injuries. The Nordic eccentric hamstring test assesses the maximal hamstring eccentric strength ... -
Effect of α+β solution treatment and aging on the performance of powder forged Ti-5Al-2.5Fe
(Informa UK Limited, 2023-12-31)Amongst titanium alloys, the α+β Ti alloys are the ones with the best compromise between strength and fracture toughness. However, the applicability of α+β Ti alloys is limited by their higher cost compared to other ... -
The Influence of Full-Time Holistic Support Delivered by a Sports Nutritionist on Within-Day Macronutrient Distribution in New Zealand Provincial Academy Rugby Union Players.
(2022-12-21)Dietary intake is an important consideration for rugby union ('rugby') players to ensure substrate provision for optimal performance and facilitate recovery. Within-day meal distribution is especially important for athletes, ... -
Enhancement of the Hooghoudt Drain-Spacing Equation
(ASCE-AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS, 2015-06-01)The Hooghoudt equation is widely used as a simple means of specifying drain spacing when designing networks of parallel drains in drainage systems, based on estimating the maximum water table height between two drains. It ... -
Seismically-induced down-sagging structures in tephra layers (tephra-seismites) preserved in lakes since 17.5 cal ka, Hamilton lowlands, New Zealand
(Elsevier BV, 2023-03)We analysed numerous soft-sediment deformation structures (SSDSs) identified in seven unconsolidated, up to 8-cmthick, siliceous tephra layers that had been deposited in ~35 riverine-phytogenic lakeswithin the Hamilton ... -
Merea Wikiriwhi and George Thomas Wilkinson
(Historical Research Unit, University of Waikato, 2016)Merea Wikiriwhi was one of the few women to invest in Te Aroha mining. Her life has been traced in as much detail as can be found because so little has survived about the lives of Maori women. As George Thomas Wilkinson’s ... -
A multifaceted approach to understanding unexpected sound change. The bilabial trills of Vanuatu’s Malekula Island
(John Benjamins Publishing, 2023-02-07)This paper demonstrates that unexpected sound changes are best explained by an approach that accounts for different motivations: phonetic, structural and social. Here, we focus on a multifaceted investigation of the ... -
Riparian zone as a variable source area for the estimation of evapotranspiration through the analysis of daily fluctuations in streamflow
(Wiley, 2022-09-23)Evapotranspiration is a critical component of the water balance of a catchment, and riparian zones play a crucial role in the hydrological process. However, the influence of riparian zones on evapotranspiration, especially ... -
A pilot study of application of the Stroke Riskometer mobile app for assessment of the course and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 among hospitalised patients
(Karger Publishers, 2023-01)Early determination of COVID-19 severity and health outcomes could facilitate better treatment of patients. Different methods and tools have been developed for predicting outcomes of COVID-19, but they are difficult to use ... -

(OPTICAL SOC AMER, 2020-01-06)Potential advantages offered by multichannel luminaires with regards to spectral tuning are frequently overshadowed by its design challenges, a major one being the non-uniformity in illuminance and color distribution. In ... -
Development of a New Event-Based Rainfall-Runoff Equation Based on Average Rainfall Intensity During an Event
(Springer, 2023)Event-based rainfall-runoff models are practical tools commonly used to predict catchments’ response to a rainfall event. However, one of the main concerns is that the characteristics of rain events are neglected in the ... -
Extracting remotely sensed water quality parameters from shallow intertidal estuaries
(2023-01-01)Sentinel-2 imagery is potentially ideal for providing a rapid assessment of the ecological condition of estuarine water due to its high temporal and spatial resolution and coverage. However, for optically shallow waters, ... -
