On the use of optimal search algorithms with artificial potential field for robot soccer navigation : Computer Science, Master of Science
… potential field (APF) is a popular method of choice for robot navigation, as it offers an intuitive model clearly defining all attractive and repulsive forces acting on the robot [3] [25] [29] [43] [50]. However, there are drawbacks that limit the usage of this method. For instance, the …

Sources of nitrate in northwestern Nevada groundwater, 1985-2014 of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Hydrogeology
… the 30 years between 1985 and 2014. On the basis of the correlation test, nitrate concentrations in groundwater available across northwestern Nevada exhibit increasing trends. A principal component analysis was used to reduce the dimensions of the variables to form three significant groups out of …

Investigating the resistance that arises in Escherichia coli towards the furazolidone – vancomycin antibiotic combination : Master of Science (Biological Sciences) at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand
… and less effective, making an increasing number of bacterial infections difficult or even impossible to treat. Worryingly, bacterial antibiotic resistance is outpacing the rate of development of new antibiotics, making a return to the pre antibiotic era a very real possibility. In particular, …

The engineering case study as a basis for the Master of Science thesis : the Teradyne, Inc. case study : a kinematic interface for semiconductor test equipment
A case-study-based Master of Science in Engineering program is proposed. The proposed program would create a mechanism for the generation and maintenance of case studies which address the trade-offs between business and technology ( "Engineering Case Studies"). An example of the Engineering Case …

Methods of testing for giardia in water : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University
… the 1960's when the first waterborne outbreaks of Giardia were reported in America, it has been recognised as a disease causing organism. From these outbreaks the USA Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed a method for testing large volumes of water for Giardia cysts, this was adapted …

Aspects of the regulation of inflorescence initiation in white clover (Trifolium repens L.) : a thesis ... for the degree of Master of Science in Botany at Massey University
Thomas (1962), found that after a pretreatment of warm short days, one genotype of 'Grasslands Huia' white clover, clone C, flowered in long days. Another 'Grasslands Huia' genotype did not, (clone B). Experiments with clone C revealed the following: (a) Production of a translocatable floral …

Variations of pacing in simulated rowing : effects on physiological and performance variables : a thesis presented for the degree of Master of Science (Sport and Exercise Science), Massey University, Auckland
Background: Observation of pacing strategies in competitive rowing show that a parabolic-shaped strategy of a fast-starting 500 m, a slowing over the middle 1000 m and an increase of pace in the final 500 m, is the common self-selected strategy. This typical pacing strategy is influenced by the …

The bovine lactoferrin gene : defining the minimal promotor region : a thesis presented to Massey University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry
Lactoferrin is an 80 kDa glycoprotein with two lobes, each of which bind a single iron atom. Originally isolated from milk, lactoferrin has since been identified in a variety of exocrine secretions and in the secretory granules of neutrophils. A number of functions have been proposed for …
