Risk tolerance in communities threatened by coastal hazards

Church, Corban John

South Dunedin is an area of the coastal city of Dunedin, in the South Island of Aotearoa / New Zealand, and is exposed to several natural hazards including flooding, erosion and tsunami. In 1923, 2015 and 2024, there were major flood events that cost millions of dollars in damages. Future predictions estimating that th...

CLIMATE VARIABILITY IMPACTS ON FOOD SECURITY

Gurazada, Madhulika

In the first chapter, I examine the influence of ENSO on co-occurring global heat and precipitation extremes and their exposure on global croplands. This study reveals that food-insecure regions in the tropics and subtropics experience elevated risks of co-occurring heat conditions during El Niño events, with significa...

Immuno-flowFISH for Diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma at Remote Sites

Chalmers, Lia Alyssa

Multiple myeloma is an incurable haematological malignancy of plasma cells, with some of the highest global incidence rates reported in Australia and New Zealand. The pathogenesis of myeloma is complex, and patient prognosis is strongly influenced by both cytogenetic abnormalities and the depth and duration of remissio...

USING LOCAL SPECTRAL LIBRARIES TO CREATE PREDICTION MODELS FOR SOIL PHYSICAL PROPERTY ASSESSMENT IN WASHINGTON STATE

Mullins, Michael Dylan

Soil compaction is a major and extensive problem within agriculture, and we do not have standardized way to measure compaction or its effects. We can use tools such as penetrometers for rapid assessment of soil compaction; however, these measurements require data on soil organic carbon, clay content, and water content....

Kantian Approaches to the Realist Orientation Problem

Simmons, Rosie Mary Grogan

The tension between what we take as knowledge of a standpoint-<em>independent</em> world and the standpoint-<em>dependent </em>nature of our knowledge has continued to present a problem for our understanding of an external reality: I call this the Realist Orientation problem. I explore the idea of standpoint-dependent...

Halodefluorination of unactivated trifluoromethyl compound and MOFs doped with boronic acid for glucose sensing

Otunomo, Idowu Iyabo

Fluorinated organic compounds represent a significant area in modern chemical science, with widespread applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials due to the unique physicochemical properties conferred by the carbon–fluorine (C–F) bond. Despite their benefits, the exceptional strength and stability of...

Identifying and defining experiences of obligation among transgender and non-binary youth in Aotearoa New Zealand

Rogers, Jordan

Transgender and non-binary (TGNB) individuals are a community who experience inequities across health and social domains when compared to cisgender individuals. Past research has suggested that the pressures and expectations that the TGNB community experiences may be contributing to poorer overall wellbeing but has not...

Fuelling the Future: Systems Analysis of Aviation Hydrogen Refuelling Operations

Amersfoort, Natalie

The aviation industry is a significant contributor to global carbon emissions. Hydrogen is a clean jet fuel alternative being explored by aircraft manufacturers, though the design considerations of aviation hydrogen refuelling systems remain underexplored. Hydrogen’s properties would necessitate significant changes to...

Rampant caries patients

Al Zahrani, Manal S.

Methods: This retrospective exploratory study included patients aged 16 years or older who initially presented with at least eight cavitated teeth, including one or more anterior teeth. Patients were classified into six treatment groups: complete dentures (CUCL), one-arch complete denture (OACD), removable partial dent...
