Indigenous Psychology in Aotearoa: Realising Māori Aspirations
… Two and Three, identifies 'reaching the point of irreversible change' as the next phase of indigenous psychology development in Aotearoa. This is the point at which indigenous psychology development becomes self-sustaining. The point at which irreversible change occurs is when: Māori knowledge …

Social-ecological assessment framework for the restoration of the Iraqi Mesopotamian Marshlands
… Marshes. Managers have to be aware that irreversible change might occur if the threshold is exceeded. An integrated social-ecological assessment approach is proffered as a means to more sustainable system management.

A comprehensive study of evolution of photospheric magnetic field and flows associated with solar eruptions
The rapid, irreversible change of the photospheric magnetic field has been recognized as an important element of the solar flare process. Recent theoretical work has shown that such a change would imply Lorentz force perturbations acting on both the outer solar atmosphere and the solar surface. …

Satellite-based assessment of invasive vegetation in Lake Chad Basin, West Africa
… danger to the natural habitat, sometimes causing irreversible change. Typha australis - an aquatic weed locally known as ―Kachalla‖ in the Lake Chad Basin (LCB) is an example of an invasive species of major concern. This study presents a method to identify and characterize this weed on a large …

Religion, Culture, and Modernity : Some Missiological Implications of the Process of Secularization in East Asia
… and seeks to describe the resultant patterns of change and continuity. Some missiological implications are drawn from the findings of the investigations. Chapter 1 is an account of the historical development of secularization in Western societies and the effects of secularization on religion, …

Cross-frontal exchange at the US Northeast shelfbreak
Exchange across the semipermeable US Northeast shelfbreak front is a potential driver of irreversible change to the continental shelf waters, its productive ecosystem, and economically valuable fisheries. However, cross-frontal exchange is difficult to observe directly because it is highly …

Photoinduced phase transitions studied by femtosecond single-shot spectroscopy
… profile. This novel scheme enables us to monitor irreversible change in solids by acquiring many time-resolved data points with a single laser pulse. With the integration with a non-collinear optical parametric amplifier (NOPA) and a conventional pump-probe instrument, ultrafast dynamics of …

Cross-Frontal Exchange at the US Northeast Shelfbreak
Exchange across the semipermeable US Northeast shelfbreak front is a potential driver of irreversible change to the continental shelf waters, its productive ecosystem, and economically valuable fisheries. However, cross-frontal exchange is difficult to observe directly because it is highly …

Essays on Dynamic Optimization for Forest Resource Management
… deforestation. This process is known to lead to irreversible tipping points that lead to the loss of ecosystem services. The past literature has discussed forest rotations under stochastic prices, timber volume, and amenity values. I extend this body of work to show how stochastic processes …

From atoms to astronomy : new approaches in neutrino physics
… in large quantities. The method is based on an irreversible change of the mass-to-magnetic moment ratio of a particular isotope in a supersonic atomic beam, followed by a magnetic multipole whose gradients deflect and guide the atoms. I present numerical simulations of isotope separation for a …

Wirelessly addressable chemiresistors : carbon nanotube-based chemical sensors and dosimeters
… to a single step and unambiguously relates change in chemiresistance to a wireless CARD readout. In Chapter 4, we describe a single-use wearable hazard badge that dosimetrically detects diethylchlorophosphate (DCP), a model organophosphorous cholinesterase inhibitor simulant. To provide …
