Geothermal structural geology in New Zealand: Innovative characterisation and micro-analytical techniques
(International Geothermal Association, 2016-11-23)Many of New Zealand's geothermal reservoirs are hosted in rocks with low intrinsic permeability. As such, successful development of these resources relies on understanding the role subsurface structures, such as fractures ... -
Glauberman's and Thompson's theorems for fusion systems
(American Mathematical Society, 2009-02)We prove analogues of results of Glauberman and Thompson for fusion systems. As a corollary, we obtain a stronger form of Frobenius' theorem for fusion systems, applicable under the above assumptions and generalizing another ... -
Global and local tests to assess stationarity of Markov transition models
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-02-09)We present global and local likelihood-based tests to evaluate stationarity in transition models. Three motivational studies are considered. A simulation study was carried out to assess the performance of the proposed ... -
Glucose biosensor based on open-source wireless microfluidic potentiostat
(Elsevier, 2019-02-17)Wireless potentiostats capable of cyclic voltammetry and amperometry that connect to the Internet are emerging as key attributes of future point-of-care devices. This work presents an "integrated microfluidic electrochemical ... -
The gluing problem for some block fusion systems
(2010)We answer the gluing problem of blocks of finite groups (Linckelmann (2004) [7, 4.2]) for tame blocks and the principal p-block of PSL 3 ( p ) for p odd. In particular, we show that the gluing problem for the principal ... -
Glycoclusters as lectin inhibitors: comparative analysis on two plant agglutinins with different folding as a step towards rules for selectivity
(Elsevier, 2015-09-23)The emerging physiological significance of carbohydrate (glycan) protein (lectin) recognition engenders the interest to design synthetic inhibitors with a high level of selectivity among natural sugar receptors. Plant ... -
Glycomics microarrays reveal differential in situ presentation of the biofilm polysaccharide Poly-N-acetylglucosamine on Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus cell surfaces
(MDPI, 2020-04-02)The biofilm component poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG) is an important virulence determinant in medical-device-related infections caused by ESKAPE group pathogens including Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative ... -
Guided waves in pre-stressed hyperelastic plates and tubes: Application to the ultrasound elastography of thin-walled soft materials
(Elsevier, 2017-02-17)In vivo measurement of the mechanical properties of thin-walled soft tissues (e.g., mitral valve, artery and bladder) and in situ mechanical characterization of thin-walled artificial soft biomaterials in service are of ... -
H2 generation and sulfide to sulfoxide oxidation in H2O using sunlight with a model photoelectrosynthesis cell
(Elsevier, 2014-10-28)A summary of the recent advances in homogeneous light-driven catalytic oxidation reactions is provided either using sacrificial agents or with complete functional cells. In this work, a photoelectrosynthesis model cell ... -
Halogenated flame retardants in Irish waste polymers: Concentrations, Legislative compliance, and preliminary assessment of temporal trends
(Elsevier, 2022-07-20)Halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) were measured in 470 waste plastic articles from Ireland between 2019 and 2020. We identified articles containing concentrations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclododecane ... -
Head-to-nerve analysis of electromechanical impairments of diffuse axonal injury
(Springer, 2018-11-14)The aim was to investigate mechanical and functional failure of diffuse axonal injury (DAI) in nerve bundles following frontal head impacts, by finite element simulations. Anatomical changes following traumatic brain injury ... -
Heterogeneity of structure and stress in the Rotokawa Geothermal Field, New Zealand
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2015-02-12)Geometric characterization of a geothermal reservoir's structures, and their relation to stress field orientation, is vital for resource development. Subsurface structure and stress field orientations of the Rotokawa ... -
A hierarchical single-pulse shock tube pyrolysis study of C-2-C-6 1-alkenes
(Elsevier, 2020-06-27)A single-pulse shock tube study of the pyrolysis of 2% C-2 - C-6 1-alkenes is presented at 2 bar in the tem-perature range 900-1800 K in the current study. Reactant, intermediate and product species are obtained and ... -
Hierarchical study of the reactions of hydrogen atoms with alkenes: A theoretical study of the reactions of hydrogen atoms with C2–C4 alkenes
(American Chemical Society, 2021-06-08)The present study complements our previous studies of the reactions of hydrogen atoms with C5 alkene species including 1- and 2-pentene and the branched isomers (2-methyl-1-butene, 2-methyl-2-butene, and 3-methyl-1-butene), ... -
A high rate tension device for characterizing brain tissue
(SAGE Journals, 2012-03-08)The mechanical characterization of brain tissue at high loading velocities is vital for understanding and modeling traumatic brain injury. The most severe form of traumatic brain injury is diffuse axonal injury, which ... -
High Time Resolution Astrophysics in the Extremely Large Telescope Era : White Paper
(2010)High Time Resolution Astrophysics (HTRA) concerns itself with observations on short scales normally defined as being lower than the conventional read-out time of a CCD. As such it is concerned with condensed objects such ... -
