An analysis of the surface water resources of the upper Taieri River, Otago
(The University of Waikato, 1975)To plan a water resource survey data collection programme, it is vital to first establish the purpose for which the gathered data are to be used, and the degree of precision of the information at a particular confidence ... -
Tree encroachment may lead to functionally-significant changes in peatland testate amoeba communities
(Elsevier, 2016)Climate change is likely to cause increased tree recruitment on open peatlands but we currently have little idea what consequences this vegetation change may have below-ground. Here we use transects across forested to open ... -
Indigenous perspectives and gene editing in Aotearoa New Zealand
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2019)Gene editing is arguably the most significant recent addition to the modern biotechnology toolbox, bringing both profoundly challenging and enabling opportunities. From a technical point of view the specificity and relative ... -
Design and the fourth industrial revolution. Dangers and opportunities for a mutating discipline
(Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2017)The nature of design has always been related to socio-technological forces. In the twentieth century, the first and second orders of design were central in the establishment of graphic and industrial design. In the early ... -
Stream sediment sources: A comparison between a native forest catchment and a mixed-use pine and pasture catchment in the Waikato Region of New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Sediment entering streams and rivers is a global concern for water quality. Suspended sediment can reduce visual clarity, light penetration, and amenity values of water. Transported sediment can also smother benthic fauna ... -
A 'class of no political weight'? Interracial marriage, mixed race children and land rights in southern New Zealand, 1840s-1880s
(Routledge, 2019)Interracial marriage was a defining feature of interaction between local Ngāi Tahu and newcomers in southern New Zealand from the early nineteenth century. Scholarship has explored the importance of such relationships to ... -
Innovative work behaviour: The influence of multicultural identity, openness to experience and cultural intelligence
(The University of Waikato, 2019)This research aims to conceptualise a response to global trends. The workforce is becoming more diverse and multicultural. If an employee is not culturally competent, conflicts will happen. Cross-cultural misunderstandings ... -
Waveguide joint design and validation for use in acoustic vector-corrected network analysers
(2019)The Vector-corrected Network Analyser (VNA) has been an indispensable tool for many decades in the field of RF and microwave engineering where the availability of calibrated and traceable results is taken for granted. ... -
Guidance and ethical considerations for undertaking transgender health research and institutional review boards adjudicating this research.
(2017)The purpose of this review is to create a set of provisional criteria for Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) to refer to when assessing the ethical orientation of transgender health research proposals. We began by searching ... -
Aspects of the Mechanisms of Alkaline Hydrolysis of Amino Acid Esters
(The University of Waikato, 2005)Thermodynamic proton dissociation constants (K_a^T) of the hydrochlorides of some α-amino acid methyl, ethyl and benzyl esters have been determined by potentiometric titration at 25, 37.1 and 50.2°C, and at I = 0.1 mol ... -
Resting metabolic rate prediction equations and the validity to assess energy deficiency in the athlete population
(WILEY, 2019)Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the amount of energy the body uses at rest. A suppressed RMR has been correlated with low energy availability and therefore used as an indicator of an individual's energy state. Furthermore, ... -
Embedded numeracy teaching practices at an Institute of Technology: Vocational tutors' characterisations of embedding numeracy and related professional development
(The University of Waikato, 2019)As part of a multi-pronged strategy to improve levels of adult numeracy, embedded numeracy provision is a required element of foundation-level vocational education in New Zealand. Embedded numeracy, as it is interpreted ... -
Practical Hydration Solutions for Sports.
(2019)Personalized hydration strategies play a key role in optimizing the performance and safety of athletes during sporting activities. Clinicians should be aware of the many physiological, behavioral, logistical and psychological ... -
Ahamb (Malekula, Vanuatu) - Language Contexts
(EL Publishing, 2019)The Ahamb language is spoken by around 950 people, most of whom reside on the small Ahamb Island off the south coast of Malekula, the second largest island in the Republic of Vanuatu in the South Pacific. Ahamb is one of ... -
How topography-dependent are topographic effects? Complementary numerical modeling of centrifuge experiments
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)Topographic effects, the modification of seismic shaking by irregular topographies compared to flat ground, have been extensively studied. Very few studies, however, have investigated the effects of the stratigraphy and ... -
Violation of te whare tangata - the maternal body: Young women's journeys through pregnancy and partner terrorism
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Partner terrorism is a leading social issue in Aotearoa. It occurs with such frequency and ferocity that it is often considered an epidemic. This has placed us in the shameful position of being the highest ranked nation ... -
Past and present benthic fauna of Lake Maratoto with special reference to the chironomidae
(The University of Waikato, 1983)The benthic fauna of Lake Maratoto, a eutrophic dy (dystrophic) lake in the Waikato basin, was investigated from 19/9/78 to 13/3/80. Core samples were taken at approximately fortnightly intervals from six stations of varying ... -
Foraging on café sugar packets by the house sparrow (Passer domesticus): Learning mechanisms, distribution, and human perception
(The University of Waikato, 2019)People in cities interact with house sparrows (Passer domesticus) on a daily basis. Sparrows have previously been observed foraging on sugar packets at a single café in Hamilton City, New Zealand. The aim of this thesis ... -
Evaluating the effects of invasive brown bullhead catfish (Ameiurus nebulosus) on kōura (freshwater crayfish, Paranephrops planifrons) in Lake Rotoiti
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Brown bullhead catfish (Ameiurus nebulosus) are opportunistic carnivores native to North America and were first detected in Te Weta Bay, Lake Rotoiti, in March 2016. A cordon was placed across the bay to try and contain ... -
Particulate fluxes in the subtropical convergence region and other marine environments of New Zealand
