Abstract:

The occupation of Moutoa Gardens in 1995 highlighted efforts by Whanganui iwi to draw attention to the non-settlement of long-standing land grievances arising out of land confiscations by the Crown in New Zealand in the 1860s. Maori attitudes to land have not been well understood by successive New Zealand governments since that time, nor by many Pakeha New Zealanders. In an effort to overcome that lack of understanding, this thesis studies a particular genre of Maori composition; namely, waiata tangi or songs of lament, which contain a strong indigenous sense of place component. The waiata use

Abstract:

Mōteatea have always been an important part of Māori society;; they are often used as a vehicle to express feelings or emotions about a certain topic and or serve as record of one or more significant events. Traditional mōteatea contain symbolism, imagery, metaphors and underlying themes which uniquely express the world views of Māori society. They are an invaluable resource for Te Reo Māori and contribute immensely to the preservation and revitalisation of Māori culture. Mōteatea enable knowledge of customs and values to be passed down through the generations and provide a personal insight in

Abstract:

The Waipara alluvial basin, located 50 kilometres north of Christchurch on the South Island of New Zealand is experiencing rapid transformation in land use from pastoral farming to horticulture. In the last five years the use of the groundwater resources has increased significantly. Knowledge is lacking about the availability and sustainability of the groundwater resources. Groundwater resources can be found throughout the basin in the Quaternary Canterbury and Teviotdale Gravels, and the late Pliocene/Early Pleistocene Kowai Formation. The hydrogeological system can be described as a complex

Periphyton was monitored monthly at four sites on the Waipara River from July 1999 to January 2002. Interactions with river flows, nutrients and invertebrates were examined to determine how these factors controlled periphyton development. Comparison of the Waipara River to other New Zealand streams indicated that periphyton biomass at the uppermost site (Site 1) was generally low to moderate. Further downstream, moderate to high biomass occurred at sites 2 and 4. Biomass at Site 3 was generally low, although some very high values occurred on occasions. Periphyton biomass at sites 2 and

Remote sensing has the potential to monitor spatial variation in water quality over large areas. While ocean colour work has developed analytical bio-optical water quality retrieval algorithms for medium spatial resolution platforms, remote sensing of lake water is often limited to high spatial resolution satellites such as Landsat, which have limited spectral resolution. This thesis presents the results of an investigation into satellite monitoring of lake water quality. The aim of this investigation was to ascertain the feasibility of estimating water quality and its spatial distribution

Abstract:

The Waipara – Kowai groundwater allocation zones (referred to as zones) are located 50 kilometers north of Christchurch.

Recent 14C age dating has shown that deep wells tap >1000 years old water, raising concerns about possible resource mining. The Kowai groundwater allocation zone has had minimal regional hydrogeological investigations and previously little is known about the groundwater resources her

Whitehall Quarry is located 4 km east of Karapiro, near Cambridge within the Waikato District.

This study is an investigation into the engineering geological model for the quarry and pit slope stability assessment. Pit slope stability is an integral aspect of quarrying and open-pit mining since slopes should be as steep as possible to minimise waste material which needs to be removed, yet shallow enough to minimise potential hazards to personnel and equipment below pit slopes

Many of these vehicles are waist-actuated, meaning that the front and rear part of the machines are fixated at an articulation point.

The Waiapu River, located on the North Island of New Zealand, drains a small catchment and has one of the highest sediment yields in the world. The river delivers most of its annual sediment load during floods into energetic coastal waters.

Abstract:

Rhizoctonia zeae is a common pathogen of tall fescue and other turfgrasses in various regions of the United States. Disease caused by R. zeae typically occurs during hot, humid summer months when conditions are ideal for growth of the fungus but less than ideal for growth of tall fescue. While R. zeae has been reported on turfgrasses in several Mid-Atlantic states, there are no records of this pathogen being present in Virginia. Rhizoctonia isolates were obtained from samples of various turfgrasses exhibiting typical Rhizoctonia disease symptoms in Virginia. Additional isolates were obtained f

Abstract:

Abstract Validity of waist-to-height ratio as a screening tool for type 2 diabetes risk in non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Blacks, and Mexican American Adult Women, from the ages 20-65 years of age. Background: A prominent screening measure for type 2 diabetes is a simple measure of waist circumference. Waist circumference is an aggregate measurement of the actual amount of total and abdominal fat accumulation and is a crucial correlate of the complexities found among obese and overweight patients. However, waist circumference does not take into consideration the frame of an individual. Hen

Abstract:

Waimea Canyon is a deep V-shaped canyon on the island of Kauai, Hawaii in which the Waimea River and its tributaries flow. The shape and size of the canyon are noteworthy and unusual compared to its contemporary canyons on the Hawaiian Islands which are usually U-shaped or flat bottomed. This could be because there is significantly more physical erosion in Waimea Canyon compared to others. A water budget was created using ArcGIS Pro and data from the University of Hawaii’s rainfall and evapotranspiration atlases, as well as from the United States Geological Survey’s stream gage data. A mass fl
