subjects: The Intricate Art of Actually Caring

abstract: It was a cold and rainy week. Two boys from Wellington bought their stylish road play to Hamilton. Meanwhile, back in Wellington, Ian McKellen bought his own fame back to Wellywood to stage Waiting for Godot, the biggest road play of them all.

title: The syntax and semantics of μ-Charts

authors: Reeve, Greg

subjects: computer science

abstract: μ-Charts is a language for specifying the behaviour of reactive systems. The language is a simplified variant of the well-known language Statecharts that was introduced by Harel. Development of the μ-Charts language is ongoing research undertaken under the auspices of the Formal Methods Laboratory of the Computer Science Department, University of Waikato. This paper gives a comprehensive treatment of the syntax and semantic for μ-Charts.

title: Evidence for late polynesian colonization of New Zealand: University of Waikato radiocarbon measurements

authors: Hogg, Alan G.

subjects: radiocarbon

abstract: We present radiocarbon determinations for 271 New Zealand archaeological samples measured at the University of Waikato Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory between 1975 and 1995. A discard protocol is applied to the series and the list culled to winnow the acceptable dates from those that may incorporate error. None of the 221 acceptable ¹⁴C determinations older than 600 BP (in the case of terrestrial samples) or 930 BP (in the case of marine and estuarine shell) extends beyond cal AD 1250. This conclusion supports the short chronology model of New Zealand prehistory presented by Anderson (1991).

title: Z logic and its consequences

authors: Henson, Martin C.

subjects: Z  Logic

abstract: This paper provides an introduction to the specification language Z from a logical perspective. The possibility of presenting Z in this way is a consequence of a number of joint publications on Z logic that Henson and Reeves have co-written since 1997. We provide an information as well as formal introduction to Z logic and show how it may be used, and extended, to investigate issues such as equational logic, the logic of preconditions, the issue of monotonicity and both operation and data refinement.

title: Non-orthogonally transitive G₂ spike solution

authors: Lim, Woei Chet

subjects: Science & Technology

abstract: We generalize the orthogonally transitive (OT) G₂ spike solution to the non-OT G₂ case. This is achieved by applying Geroch's transformation on a Kasner seed. The new solution contains two more parameters than the OT G₂ spike solution. Unlike the OT G₂ spike solution, the new solution always resolves its spike.

title: The thermal behaviour of enzyme activity: implications for biotechnology

authors: Eisenthal, Robert

subjects: enzyme

abstract: The way that enzymes respond to temperature is fundamental to many areas of biotechnology. This has long been explained in terms of enzyme stability and catalytic activation energy, but recent observations of enzyme behaviour suggest that this picture is incomplete. We have developed and experimentally validated a new model to describe the effect of temperature on enzymes; this model incorporates additional fundamental parameters that enable a complete description of the effects of temperature on enzyme activity. In this article, we consider the biotechnological implications of this model in the areas of enzyme engineering, enzyme reactor operation and the selection and/or screening of useful enzymes from the environment.

title: A socio-demographic profile of Māori living in Australia

authors: Kukutai, Tahu

subjects: demography

abstract: This report provides a comprehensive demographic and socio-economic profile of the Māori population in Australia using data from the 2011 Australia Census of Population and Housing. The purpose is to provide an evidence base with which to inform future policy approaches with respect to Māori in Australia. It focuses on five key areas: 

Population size and composition; 
Identity and culture; 
Year of arrival and citizenship; 
Education and work; 
Lone parenting and unpaid childcare. 

Comparisons are undertaken with Māori in the 2006 Australia Census, as well as with two reference groups: the total Australia population and migrant non-Māori New Zealanders. Where appropriate, we also distinguish Māori migrants born in New Zealand and Māori born in Australia. This captures important differences within the Māori population in Australia that have been under-examined in previous studies.

title: Random convolution ensembles

authors: Mayo, Michael

subjects: computer science

abstract: A novel method for creating diverse ensembles of image classifiers is proposed. The idea is that, for each base image classifier in the ensemble, a random image transformation is generated and applied to all of the images in the labeled training set. The base classifiers are then learned using features extracted from these randomly transformed versions of the training data, and the result is a highly diverse ensemble of image classifiers. This approach is evaluated on a benchmark pedestrian detection dataset and shown to be effective.

title: PositivelyPregnant: Using guided prompts in a stress-management app for pregnant women

authors: Barber, Carrie Cornsweet

subjects: computer science

abstract: This paper reports on our interdisciplinary research on stress management for pregnant women. We developed a mobile app – PositivelyPregnant – for supporting the mental wellbeing of pregnant women in New Zealand. The app aims to support women in using the time during pregnancy to build resilience and plan a healthy future for the whole family. We report the results from a study using PositivelyPregnant, carried out at 24 weeks gestation with 88 women. We particularly explored the use of prompts for continued engagement.

title: Mode I and Mode II interlaminar fracture toughness of composite laminates interleaved with electrospun nanofibre veils

authors: Beckermann, Gareth W.

subjects: Science & Technology

abstract: In this study, the effects of interleaved nanofibre veils on the Mode I and Mode II interlaminar fracture toughness (ILFT) of autoclave cured unidirectional carbon/epoxy composite laminates were investigated. Various electrospun nanofibre veils consisting of a range of different polymer types, fibre diameters and veil architectures were placed in the laminate mid-planes, which were subsequently subjected to double cantilever beam and end-notch flexure tests. It was found that the polymer type and veil areal weight were the most important factors contributing to laminate performance. A 4.5 g/m2 PA66 veil provided the best all-round performance with fracture toughness improvements of 156% and 69% for Mode I and Mode II, respectively.

title: Teukolsky–Starobinsky identities for arbitrary spin

authors: Kalnins, Ernie G.

subjects: Mathematics

abstract: The Teukolsky–Starobinsky identities are proven for arbitrary spin s. A pair of covariant equations are given that admit solutions in terms of Teukolsky functions for general s. The method of proof is shown to extend to the general class of space-times considered by Torres del Castillo [J. Math. Phys. 29, 2078 (1988)].

Aspects of the project referred to here include adaptation of the style guide created by Te Taura Whiri for the Microsoft project, use of the Microsoft translation guidelines, the philosophy guiding the translation and the translation process itself (with examples). The process by which the project was evaluated is also discussed.

title: Do returns to schools go up during transition? The not so contrary case of Vietnam

authors: Doan, Tinh Thanh

subjects: economic transition

abstract: A key stylized fact about transition economies is that the returns to schooling rise as economic reform progresses. Existing research suggests that Vietnam is an exception to this pattern, with a decrease in males’ return from 1992 to 1998, and little increase in the return to females’ education (Liu, 2006). This exception may be because of the gradual economic reform applied in Vietnam, whilst in Eastern European countries the “Big Bang” transformation was conducted. Therefore to see whether Vietnam is still a counter example, we re-examine the trend in the rate of return to schooling in Vietnam over the 1998-2004 period, where the reforms have had a longer time to have an effect.
