Functional architecture for speed tuning in the primary visual cortex of carnivores

Suárez Casanova, Víctor Manuel

The brain’s ability to process sensory information is rooted in its complex neural architecture. In particular, the primary visual cortex (V1) plays a pivotal role in encoding and interpreting dynamic visual stimuli, such as speed and motion. While extensive research has focused on the encoding of basic receptive field...

Through a 'synchronised' lens: the gender relational approach (GRA) as a critical link in the peace-justice-social change landscape

Jolly, Natasha Teresa

This thesis examines how reframing post-conflict justice through a synchronised, survivor-centred, and relational lens can more effectively address the war–peace continuum of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). Situated at the intersection of feminist theory, relational sociology, peacebuilding, and cultural trans...

Diversity, composition, and functional interactions between the moss metabolome and fungal communities in Alaska

Nickerson, Megan N.

Non-vascular plants, such as mosses (Bryophyta), are abundant and ecologically important members of the vegetation in boreal and Arctic ecosystems, which span an expansive area (>4 million km[superscript 2]) globally. In northern ecosystems, mosses play critical roles in regulating carbon and hydrological cycles. For e...

Application of Next-Generation Sequencing for detection of human and animal faecal pollution in surface waters

O'Dea, Christian

Faecal contamination of surface waters poses ongoing risks to public health and ecosystem integrity, particularly in mixed-use catchments where multiple human and animal sources contribute simultaneously. Traditional water quality monitoring relies on faecal indicator bacteria (FIB), which provide a general indication...

Undergraduate Students’ Perspectives and Experiences in Introductory Mathematics Courses

Chappelle, Candace Mae

This study explored the mathematics learning experiences of students enrolled in developmental mathematics courses at a 4-year research-focused university. Developmental mathematics (DM) courses carry the persistent phenomenon that many undergraduates face: disproportionately high rates of students failing or withdrawi...

Genomic mapping of the deer rumen microbial communities and economically important growth and fitness traits

Clarke, Jordan Lynn

Deer are versatile animals that display large amounts of genetic diversity. Deer are a vital agricultural species, with approximately $332 million NZD of product exported annually from New Zealand alone. However, deer are understudied compared to other ruminant species. The Rumen microbial composition (RMC) is a key ar...

From peroxide to carbonate

Scherrer, Sarah K.

Nuclear energy is a promising solution for meeting global energy demands in a sustainable manner. However, expanding its commercial use is challenging due to significant obstacles within the nuclear fuel cycle. Unless fuel is reprocessed, the nuclear fuel ‘cycle’ is not a true closed-loop system, but rather used fuel m...

Understanding multimodal communication and platform endorsement in reward-based crowdfunding

Tong, Ling

Reward-based crowdfunding has become a pivotal mechanism in entrepreneurial finance, enabling creators to raise funds directly from a broad base of backers in exchange for non-monetary rewards. This model not only democratizes access to capital but also facilitates early market validation and community engagement. Yet,...

Nickel-catalyzed glycosylation for 1,2-cis-aminosaccharides

Sletten, Eric Thomas

One of the key constituents in naturally occurring oligosaccharides and polysaccharides is α-1,2-cis-2-aminoglycosides. These α-1,2-cis-2-amino containing saccharides are essential for mediating the interactions between cells, including heparin (for anticoagulancy and heart disease), tumor-associated mucin antigens (fo...
