A typographic case study: children's digital books in New Zealand primary schools
(Common Ground Publishing, 2011)Increasingly children’s educational reading material is presented in a screen-based environment. This includes a range of interactive learning tools, interactive whiteboards, on-line standardized testing material, digital ... -
Compressor shaft work targeting using new numerical exergy problem table algorithm (Ex-PTA) in sub-ambient processes
(AIDIC Servizi S.r.l., 2018)One of the major challenges faced by energy intensive industries is an excessive greenhouse gas emission to the atmosphere due to high consumption of fossil fuels throughout the production processes. Due to high electricity ... -
Thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of dispersed glass sphere composites over a range of volume fractions
(Springer, 2018)Glass spheres are often used as filler materials for composites. Comparatively few articles in the literature have been devoted to the measurement or modelling of thermal properties of composites containing glass spheres, ... -
Who says you can't judge a book by it's cover?
(Common Ground, 2013)They say that first impressions are everything, so what impression do our books give us by the cover they have? Can we make a generalisation or gain a basic understanding of the content of a book from this first impression? ... -
Multi-level engagement in augmented reality children’s picture books
(Springer, 2019)We demonstrate our AR enhanced picture book that provides multiple levels of interaction and engagement. Holding the camera at a range of heights facilitates reader exploration of layered book features and content. These ... -
Evaluation of a stratified tank based heat recovery loop via dynamic simulation
(2018)Prerequisite for hot water recovery in the dairy and beverage industry is the use of heat storage, such as stratified tanks. Total Site Heat Integration enables the targeting of heat recovery potential, the concrete ... -
The cold chain in New Zealand - A review
(Elsevier, 2018)Approximately 45 % of all exports from New Zealand are food products or by-products, and an estimated 60 % of these are exported in the refrigerated state. The leading food sectors in terms of volume and income are in ... -
Non-binary youth: Access to gender-affirming primary health care
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)Background: Transgender (trans) youth who identify outside the gender binary are a growing subpopulation. In this article, we document differences in access to gender-affirming health care between binary and non-binary ... -
Thermal conductivity measurement and prediction of particulate foods
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)There is reason to question some of the published thermal conductivity data for particulate foods. It is argued in this paper, based on thermal conductivity bounds analysis, that the thermal conductivity of particulate ... -
Mana Motuhake Ringa: The non-invasive neural interface based artificial hand
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Ten million people on the earth at any given time suffer from the loss or lack of a limb. Three million of these are upper extremity amputees. No matter the cause or reason for amputation the amputees’ life is never the ... -
Characterising sound visualisations of specifications using refinement
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Visualisations can be used to help analyse, explore, and validate Z specifications. However, if visualisations contain errors or are used incorrectly then they can be misleading and harmful. The aim of this work is to ... -
Networks for utilising the organic and dry fractions of municipal waste: P-graph approach
(AIDIC Servizi S.r.l., 2017)Minimising the demand for fossil fuels and the greenhouse gas footprints is of high priority for sustainable development. This is true for all societal aspects - including research and development. Waste-to-Energy (WtE) ... -
Disordered eating behaviors among transgender youth: Probability profiles from risk and protective factors
(Wiley, 2017)Purpose Research has documented high rates of disordered eating for lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth, but prevalence and patterns of disordered eating among transgender youth remain unexplored. This is despite unique ... -
Factorial validity and invariance assessment of a short version of the recalled childhood gender identity/role questionnaire
(Springer, 2016)Recalled childhood gender role/identity is a construct that is related to sexual orientation, abuse, and psychological health. The purpose of this study was to assess the factorial validity of a short version of Zucker et ... -
The piano at the elms
(Otago University Press, 2015)Just before the bustle of the Tauranga business district begins, beyond a sprawling overpass junction, there is a tranquil haven of serenity enclosed by a white picket fence. I push open the gate and wander down a curving ... -
Effective thermal conductivity prediction of foods using composition and temperature data
(Elsevier, 2016)Thermal conductivity data are important for food process modelling and design. Where reliable thermal conductivity data are not available, they need to be predicted. The most accurate ‘first approximation’ methodology for ... -
Social Change and Reproductive Behaviour in Rural Bangladesh, 1983-1996
(The University of Waikato, 2003)Recent changes in the reproductive behaviour of women m the rural areas of Bangladesh have occurred at a time when the country has been and still 1s predominantly agricultural and socio-economic conditions poor. Attempts ... -
From a young Bolshevik to a professional writer : A critical study of Wang Meng 's novels with reference to his writing from the 1950s to the 1990s
(The University of Waikato, 2004)Wang Meng is one of China's most high profile and prolific writers, having produced a substantial body of fictional work since the 1950s, much of which has surprised readers and critics alike because of its high level of ... -
The ABCs of collaboration in academia
(University of Waikato, 2019)The occurrence of research collaboration among multiple researchers is becoming more widespread within the academic research community. Research collaboration endeavours offer many benefits yet are not without challenges. ... -
Can you feel the pressure? Examining the effects of anxiety in elite netball shooters
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Netball is an increasingly popular sport for women in New Zealand, with the national league competition being fully professional. One important skill within netball is goal shooting, as the goal volume and accuracy ultimately ...
