  • Machine Actuated Craft 
    Murdoch, Jonathan William (Victoria University of Wellington, 2010)
    Throughout history the use of scale representations has been important in the process of creating architecture. In recent times the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) has significantly altered traditional methods ...
  • A Machine for Growing. Relocalising Agriculture to an Urban Context 
    Davies, Thomas (Victoria University of Wellington, 2016)
    Agriculture is the most fundamental industry to our survival. With out being able to produce good nutritional food we can not exist. But increasingly this industry and the role it plays in our lives is changing due to its ...
  • Machining Ornament: An investigation into contemporary machining practices and the creation of patterned ornamental surfaces 
    Saunders, Samuel (Victoria University of Wellington, 2018)
    Robotic tools open a new frontier in surface articulation. The combination of computer modelling with robotic tools allows the transfer of digital information onto physical objects with comparative ease. This permits a ...
  • Macroeconomic adjustment and the history of crises in open economies 
    Aizenman, Joshua; Noy, Ilan (2012)
    This paper investigates the impact of the history of crises on macroeconomic performance. We first study the impact of past banking crises on the probability of a future banking crisis. Applying data for 1980-2010 for all ...
  • Macroevolutionary Changes of Plants on Islands 
    Kavanagh, Patrick (Victoria University of Wellington, 2015)
    Insularity is known to produce predictable evolutionary changes in plants. For example, herbaceous plants often evolve woodiness and seeds tend to have reduced dispersal capabilities on islands. However, our understanding ...
  • A macro-financial theory of corporate financing and forecast modelling of market movements 
    Sutton, David (Victoria University of Wellington, 2014)
    This thesis identifies a gap in existing theories of corporate finance. This gap is an implication of a Keynesian-Minskian analysis of markets and market-based economies. From a founding theoretical perspective rooted in ...
  • Macroinvertebrate community responses to mammal control - Evidence for top-down trophic effects 
    Vergara Parra, Olivia Edith (Victoria University of Wellington, 2018)
    New Zealand’s invertebrates are characterised by extraordinary levels of endemism and a tendency toward gigantism, flightlessness and longevity. These characteristics have resulted in a high vulnerability to introduced ...
  • Mad Bad or Sad: Caring for the Mentally Disordered in the Court Environment, from a Nurse's Perspective 
    Smith, Paul (Victoria University of Wellington, 2004)
    This paper examines the difficulties health professionals face daily when providing care for the mentally disordered offender in the court environment. The role ofthe court nurse is to provide care for people with mental ...
  • Made to Measure: Revealing and Measuring a Dynamic Coastal Environment 
    Leslie, Callum James (Victoria University of Wellington, 2018)
    MacLean Park located on the Kapiti Coast has one of the most dynamic natural environments in the country. As tides rise, dunes shrink and grow and rivermouths shift over time, it can be difficult to perceive these environmental ...
  • Mafutaga Samoa 
    Unasa, Leilani (Victoria University of Wellington, 2008)
    Turquoise water laps the sandy white shore where coconut palms hang lazily over the sea. The sound of a church choir singing a Samoan hymn in the background. A loud phone ring. The entire landscape shakes like crazy. What ...
  • Magazines for youth? : a comparative content analysis of two New Zealand juvenile periodicals 
    Buckingham, Anoushka (Victoria University of Wellington, 2002)
    This research project investigated the readership of two New Zealand youth magazines during the period 1945-1947. The magazines, Conquest: the magazine for youth, and Junior Digest: the magazine for girls and boys, were ...
  • Magister Ludi: Hermeneutics in Architectural Representation 
    Coetzee, David (Victoria University of Wellington, 2018)
    Written narrative has the ability to enchant the imagination of a person into a heightened emotional state, all without being directly visual. How, when existing almost entirely within a visual sense, does architecture and ...
  • Magnetic and electronic properties of iron-based superconducting systems 
    Sambale, Sebastian (Victoria University of Wellington, 2015)
    This thesis is motivated by the large variety of high-temperature superconductors that contain iron in the superconducting layer. This number has grown rapidly since the discovery in 2008 of the iron-pnictides (and ...
  • Magnetic and transport properties of electronically spin polarised double perovskites and Heusler intermetallics 
    Stephen, Jibu (Victoria University of Wellington, 2014)
    Half-metallic ferromagnets with 100 % electronic spin polarisation are an interesting class of materials for new spin transport electronics applications. Some of the double perovskites and Heusler alloys are predicted to ...
  • Magnetic and Transport Studies of Strongly Correlated Perovskite Ceramics 
    Hemery, Erwan (Victoria University of Wellington, 2007)
    This thesis describes the results from an experimental study of the magnetic and transport properties of two strongly correlated transition metal oxides. The firstmaterial under study is the ferromagnetic half-metal ...
  • The Magnetic Properties of Selected Rare Earth Nitrides Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition 
    Ludbrook, B. M. (Victoria University of Wellington, 2009)
    Gadolinium nitride (GdN) and samarium nitride (SmN) are grown by pulsed laser deposition on yttria stabilised zirconia substrates. Surface and structural characterisation shows that the thin films are epitaxial ...
  • Magnetic Resonance Pore Imaging, a new tool for porous media research 
    Hertel, Stefan A. (Victoria University of Wellington, 2015)
    Porous media are highly prevalent in nature and span a wide range of systems including biological tissues, chemical catalysts or rocks in oil reservoirs. Imaging of the structure of the constituent pores is therefore highly ...
  • A Magnetic Survey of the Southwest Pacific Ocean 
    Ross, David Irwin (Victoria University of Wellington, 1966)
    The design and construction of a free precession proton magnetometer which give a reading of the field directly in gamma is described. This instrument has been used to obtain magnetic profiles across the Southwest Pacific ...
  • Magneto-electric nano-composite for analog tunable radio frequency filters 
    Mousnier, Pierre (Victoria University of Wellington, 2017)
    The emerging field of magnetoelectric electronics opens significant opportunities for the next generation of sensors and wireless devices. A key feature of magneto-electric materials is the coupling between their magnetic ...
  • Magneto-tunnelling transport of chiral charge carriers 
    Pratley, Luke (Victoria University of Wellington, 2014)
    We study magneto-tunnelling between two parallel two-dimensional electron gases theoretically, where the electrons have a pseudo-spin-½ degree of freedom that is coupled to their momentum. The two-dimensional electron gases ...
