  • Advanced NMR methodologies in rock core analysis 
    Liu, Huabing (Victoria University of Wellington, 2015)
    ¹H NMR techniques have gained extensive acceptance in petrophysics for the evaluation of fluid-saturating reservoir rocks. This thesis presents the development of new NMR methods regarding the reserves (determination of ...
  • Advancement of Measurement Techniques for Tunable Resistive Pulse Sensing 
    Weatherall, Eva (Victoria University of Wellington, 2017)
    Tunable resistive pulse sensing (TRPS) is a particle-by-particle analysis technique combining the Coulter principle with size-tunable pores. TRPS can be used to characterize biological and synthetic particles 50 nm - 20 ...
  • The Ageing and Rejuvenation of Soft, Glassy Complex Fluids 
    Rogers, Simon Andrew (Victoria University of Wellington, 2009)
    Suspensions of multiarm star polymers are studied as models for soft colloidal interactions in colloidal glasses. Establishing a pre-shearing protocol which ensures a reproducible initial state (the "rejuvenation" of the ...
  • Air Particulate Matter in Pollluted New Zealand Urban Environments: Sources, Patterns and Transport 
    Ancelet, Travis (Victoria University of Wellington, 2012)
    During the winters of 2010 and 2011, three intensive particulate matter (PM) monitoring campaigns were undertaken in Masterton, Alexandra and Nelson, New Zealand. The goal of these campaigns was, for the first time, to ...
  • Aligned Nanorods of AlPO4-5 Within the Pores of Anodic Alumina 
    King, L J. (Lilian Jane) (Victoria University of Wellington, 2010)
    Anodic aluminium oxide has been identified as a versatile porous template material having high pore density, (up to 1010 cm-2), controllable channel length and monodisperse pore diameter within the range 20-250 nm. A ...
  • The Alkaline solvolysis of allyl bromide in alcohol-water solvents 
    Donald, Valda Hilary (Victoria University of Wellington, 1963)
    The rate of the alkaline solvolysis of allyl bromide has been measured in various ethanol-water and methanol-water mixtures. This has been found to increase with increase in solvent polarity. An attempt was made to explain ...
  • Aminophosphine Reduction Mechanisms and the Synthesis of Indium Phosphide Nanomaterials 
    Laufersky, Geoffry (Victoria University of Wellington, 2019)
    Indium phosphide (InP) nanomaterials are attractive for countless technological applications due to their well-placed band gap energies. The quantum confinement of these semiconductors can give rise to size-dependent ...
  • An Analysis of the Temperature Profiles of Some Antarctic Lakes 
    Shirtcliffe, T. G. L. (Victoria University of Wellington, 1967)
    The temperature profiles of certain lakes in Taylor Valley, Victoria Land, Antarctica, are shown to be consistent with the hypothesis that these lakes were formerly cold brine pools; that their levels were raised by the ...
  • Anion Adsorption onto Clay Mineral Surfaces using Radioisotope Techniques 
    Furkert, Roderick John (Victoria University of Wellington, 1965)
    Any reaction that occurs between two substances will depend initially on the reaction, or lack of reaction, of the various atoms or molecules that are on the surface of the substances being brought into contact with each ...
  • The Application of Spectral Induced Polarization to Determination of Hydraulic Conductivity 
    Joseph, Sheen (Victoria University of Wellington, 2016)
    Spectral Induced Polarization (SIP) is a geophysical technique that measures the frequency dependence of the electrical conductivity of a material. This thesis is an attempt to investigate the potential of using SIP as a ...
  • Approaches to the Synthesis of Glycosides 
    Furneaux, Richard Hubert (Victoria University of Wellington, 1976)
    In a search for better synthetic routes to O- and S-glycosides, a number of mercury(II) containing derivatives of 1-thio-D-glucose were synthesised, and their reactions with thiols and acids were investigated as well as ...
  • An Archaeomagnetic Study of Hangi Stones in New Zealand 
    Kinger, Rimpy (Victoria University of Wellington, 2017)
    Burnt or fired archaeological artefacts often retain a record of the magnetic field in which they were last heated and cooled. Over the past four years we have collected oriented hangi stones from 10 archaeological sites ...
  • Atmospheric Monitoring of PM₂.₅, PM₁₀₋₂.₅, PM₁₀, Arsenic and Carbonaceous Aerosol at Wainuiomata 
    Singh, Chandar (Victoria University of Wellington, 2016)
