Implant conductor assembly with improved radio frequency properties
(2021)In one aspect the invention provides an implant conductor lead assembly which includes an electrode lead, and at least one field target conductor. The field target conductor(s) is located adjacent to the electrode lead to ... -
Interpretable deep learning for surgical tool management
(Springer, 2021)This paper presents a novel convolutional neural network framework for multi-level classification of surgical tools. Our classifications are obtained from multiple levels of the model, and high accuracy is obtained by ... -
Adaptive management under the RMA: the tension between finality and flexibility
(University of Auckland, 2020)Adaptive management is commonly used to manage activities that require resource consents under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) that have uncertain, complex and potentially significant environmental effects. This ... -
A history of Māori literacy success
(2021)This article explores literacy in 19th century Māori society, and in particular, this work considers the initial interactions Māori tribal groups had with literacy following contact with British settlers. The overarching ... -

Improving road safety and health: Understanding kava’s impact on driver fitness
(2021)Kava (Piper methysticum) is a traditional and culturally significant Pacific Island beverage that produces soporific relaxant effects. Kava use is increasing in the Pacific islands, and among Pacific diasporic and non-Pacific ... -
TephraNZ: a major- and trace-element reference dataset for glass-shard analyses from prominent Quaternary rhyolitic tephras in New Zealand and implications for correlation
(Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union, 2021)Although analyses of tephra-derived glass shards have been undertaken in New Zealand for nearly four decades (pioneered by Paul Froggatt), our study is the first to systematically develop a formal, comprehensive, openaccess ... -
Refugee children and families’ positioning within resettlement and early childhood education policies in Aotearoa New Zealand
(Informa UK Limited, 2021)This paper uses a framing derived from refugee and child rights conventions to analyse the positioning of young refugee children and their families in Aotearoa New Zealand’s resettlement policies, early childhood curriculum ... -
Studying and exploiting the relationship between model accuracy and explanation quality
(Springer, 2021)Many explanation methods have been proposed to reveal insights about the internal procedures of black-box models like deep neural networks. Although these methods are able to generate explanations for individual predictions, ... -
Note on random raindrops and sampling error
(IWA Publishing, 1980)A number of variables of interest in precipitation studies can be interpreted as sums of random numbers of random variables, where the summed quantity is a power transformation of raindrop diameter. Included in this category ... -
Rights, reasons, and international norms
(2020)This article focuses on access to environmental justice. In particular, the article focuses on the right to remedy and redress articulated in Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration 1992 and the effective transposition of the ... -
Prediction of the mechanical properties of isotropic pure metal-based and two-phase alloy-based porous materials using modified analytical models
(Elsevier BV, 2021)This work investigates the applicability and accuracy of the five fundamental analytical models commonly used to estimate the thermophysical properties of porous materials for the prediction of the mechanical behaviour, ... -
Improving the alignment of dynamic sheet-formed mats by changing nozzle geometry and their reinforcement of polypropylene matrix composites
(MDPI AG, 2021)The main objective of this study was to improve the orientation of fibres within the mats produced using dynamic sheet forming (DSF). DSF is used to make fibre mats by forcing a fibre suspension through a nozzle onto a ... -
Direct extrusion 3D printing for a softer PLA-based bio-polymer composite in pellet form
(Elsevier BV, 2021)Fused deposition modelling is the most popular method of 3D printing with a variety of polymers, but the raw materials are commonly in the filament form. Research has demonstrated the ability to use pellets for this process, ... -
The relationship between y balance performance and hip strength in recreationally trained women
(Research, Society and Development, 2021)This study set one´s sight on the relationship between lower quarter y balance test (YBT-LQ) score with hip isometric strength with recreationally resistance-trained women. Utilizing dynamic balance as a screening tool for ... -
Affective learning outcomes in the field: A review of the 2021 Undergraduate Field Experiences Research Network Meeting
(Wiley, 2021)Ecology and geoscience professionals alike have stressed the value of undergraduate field experiences, ranging from short outdoor laboratories, residential courses at field stations and marine laboratories or geology camps, ... -
AI augmented approach to identify shared ideas from large format public consultation
(MDPI AG, 2021)Public data, contributed by citizens, stakeholders and other potentially affected parties, are becoming increasingly used to collect the shared ideas of a wider community. Having collected large quantities of text data ... -
