title: The climate of the Waikato Basin

authors: de Lisle, J.F.

subjects: Waikato

abstract: The topography of the Waikato Valley and its position in relation to the large-scale weather system give it warm humid summers, mild winters and a moderate rainfall with a winter maximum.
Some typical meteorological situations affecting the valley are described and the individual climatic elements are considered in detail.

title: Alignment of Short Fibres: An Overview

authors: Sunny, Tom

abstract: Fibre orientation is a major factor influencing composite performance; research, largely on synthetic fibre composites, supports that the best mechanical performances are achieved in composites when fibres are aligned in the loading direction. Generally, with short natural plant fibre (SNPF) composites, randomly oriented fibre mats are used as reinforcements due to the innate limits of fibre length and the difficulty of aligning short fibre. However, there are a number of methods that have been developed for aligning short fibre, again largely employed for synthetic fibres. The two main approaches employed to align short fibres relate to whether dry or wet processing is used available in literature; in wet processes, fibres are generally suspended in a liquid medium and alignment of fibre trails the fluid flow direction, whereas in dry processes, dry fibres are aligned in the direction of an induced or applied force such as pneumatic or electric. An overview of different alignment methods with their working principles is presented in this paper. This paper also describes an alignment technique currently under development to improve the alignment obtained for SNPFs.

title: Te whakatipu torekaihuruhuru hai ika-ā-Whiro

authors: Temara, Pou

subjects: Mana tūpuna

abstract: Kai roto i te mōteatea a Hone Tūwhare e mau ana ngā whakaaro me ngā kareāroto o tōku whakatipuranga o Tūhoe i te turakitanga a Mate i te tipua nei i a Te Rangihau i te tau 1987.  Mōwai ana te whenua, takarerewa ana te tangata. He atua te rite o Te Rangihau ki a Tūhoe. Ka kitea ia i ngā marae o Tūhoe, ka hikina te ngoi o te iwi, ka ora. Kua mate nei, tārū ana te iwi; kua hinga te rākau taumatua o ngā manu, kua hinga i te tao o te mate.

Kāore hoki i roa i muri mai o tōna wehenga atu ka whai muri ko tōna rēanga me tōna momo. Mā wai e ārahi te iwi? Mā wai e whakatika te waka ka tikoki, te iwi ka hē? Mā wai o tō mātau whakatipuranga e whakakīkī ngā whāruarua kua mahue mai nei i te ngaronga atu o tērā whakatipuranga taioreore? Koinei ngā mōhio o Tūhoe, he mana te kupu, he tapu te kōrero! Ahakoa i noho rātau ki te ako i a mātau mō te wā e ngaro ai tō rātau momo, tāupetia ana mātau e te mokemoke, he manu mahue i te kātua te rite. Ae, i reira anō ngā torekaihuruhuru e whakatore ana, engari kīhai i a rātau te mana tohunga o te rēanga ka ngaro.
