title: Enhancing access to experiential learning in a science and technology degree programme

authors: Coll, Richard K.

subjects: experiential learning

abstract: The research reported in this work concerned access to experiential learning offered in the form of work-based learning in a science and technology degree programme. The work-based learning comprises work placements within science and technology institutions relevant to the student's discipline of academic study. Access to work placements was enhanced by improving student performance in pre-placement interviews and the study comprised the administration of an intervention, namely the use of trial interviews, to improve performance in pre-placement interviews. The study resulted in the development of a model for trial interviews based on models of competency identified in the literature and by examination of documentation from a variety of multi-national organisations. The data suggests that the students perceive trial interviews enhance performance during pre-placement interviews.

title: Charge capacity characteristics of a Lithium Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum Oxide battery show fractional-derivative behavior

authors: Wilson, Marcus T.

subjects: cs.SY

abstract: Batteries experience capacity offset where available charge depends on the
rate at which this charge is drawn. In this work we analyze the capacity offset
of a 4.8 A h lithium nickel-cobalt-aluminium oxide battery using an equivalent
circuit model of a fractional capacitor in series with a resistor. In this
case, the available charge, in theory, becomes infinite in the limit of
infinitesimal rate. We show that the fractional properties of the capacitor can
be extracted from the charge against rate plot. We then use a network of RC
elements to represent the fractional capacitor in order to simulate the data
with Matlab. We find that the fractional exponent alpha obtained in this way,
0.971, agrees with that obtained in a more traditional manner from an impedance
versus frequency plot, although the fractional capacity does not. Such an
approach demonstrates the importance of a fractional description for capacity
offset even when an element is nearly a pure capacitor and is valuable for
predictions of state-of-charge when low currents are drawn.

title: Frozen rights?: The right to develop Maori treaty and aboriginal rights

authors: Joseph, Robert

subjects: Maori

abstract: Bishop Manuhuia Bennett often asked the question: "What did Maori call New Zealand before the arrival of the Pakeha [Europeans]?" After a deliberate pause, he would then simply utter: "Ours".
