title: The case for universal basic income in New Zealand & worldwide

authors: Goldsmith, Michael

abstract: Universal Basic Income is a well established concept that can help solve this basic human rights issue. While hunger is often recognised in poorer countries, it is trivialised and hidden in countries like New Zealand, which is perceived as being a land of plenty with abundant food resources to feed its people.

title: Component-by-component construction of good intermediate-rank lattice rules

authors: Kuo, Frances Y.

subjects: mathematics

abstract: It is known that the generating vector of a rank-1 lattice rule can be constructed component-by-component to achieve strong tractability error bounds in both weighted Korobov spaces and weighted Sobolev spaces. Since the weights for these spaces are nonincreasing, the first few variables are in a sense more important than the rest. We thus propose to copy the points of a rank-1 lattice rule a number of times in the first few dimensions to yield an intermediate-rank lattice rule. We show that the generating vector (and in weighted Sobolev spaces, the shift also) of an intermediate-rank lattice rule can also be constructed component-by-component to achieve strong tractability error bounds. In certain circumstances, these bounds are better than the corresponding bounds for rank-1 lattice rules.

title: The state of the Rotorua Lakes in 2017

authors: Hamilton, David P.

abstract: I have been asked to give an overview of the Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes and then focus on just four of the lakes. Chris McBride will pick up other lakes.  I would like to acknowledge Warwick Silvester who set up the Lakes Chair, Simon Stuart who is working outside the rohe, on Lake Taupō, but has a great body of knowledge on the food chain in that lake, with potential applications to the Te Arawa lakes. Also to Kohji Muraoka who helped me over the last 24 hours, putting data together which enabled me to synthesise my thoughts on these lakes.
