In-Flight Fatigue Crack Monitoring of an Aircraft Engine Cowling
<p>This research investigates the feasibility of implementing an in-flight fatigue crack monitoring system in an airplane to identify fatigue crack growth. An acoustic emission data acquisition system coupled with a Kohonen self organizing map neural network were used to perform the analysis.</p> …

Ecology of the (Brady)rhizobium symbiotic relationship with Fabaceae in the south-western Cape
… specificity among the fynbos Fabaceae (Cowling et al. 1990). This hypothesis by Cowling et al. (1990) has ignored other factors which may possibly play a major role in microsymbiont/host relationships in the Cape Floristic Region, such as soil conditions, and bacterial strain competition …

Is social work education life changing?: a unitary appreciative inquiry into the impact of social work education on a person's beliefs, values and behaviour.
… recognises “human wholeness and uniqueness” (Cowling 2004a, p202). The inquiry explores the impact of social work education on five people within the context of their lives. The findings, presented as a unitary appreciative profile (Cowling 2004b), highlight changes to the participants …

Smoothing estimates for non commutative spaces
… to general Orlicz function spaces related with Cowling and Meda's work. Also we will show some examples to illustract the relation between the Orlicz function, dispersive estimate on semigroup $T_t$ and general resolvent formula on the generator $A$ of the semigroup (i.e. $Ax= \lim_{t\rightarrow …

Equilibria and oscillations of magnetised neutron stars
… the perturbations numerically, making the Cowling approximation and<br/>specialising to purely toroidal fields for simplicity. The results of the evolutions<br/>show a number of magnetically-restored Alfv´en modes. We find that in a rotating<br/>star pure inertial and pure Alfv´en modes are …

Investigating the Role of the mRNA Capping Enzymes in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells and Differentiation
… unexpected roles in cell-fate determination. The Cowling lab discovered that RNMT and RAM, which form the cap methyltransferase complex, are expressed at different levels in mouse primary tissues, and RAM is particularly highly expressed in mESCs. RAM is essential for pluripotency maintenance by …

Management of seal tourism in New Zealand – tourism and the New Zealand fur seal in the Bay of Plenty
Pinniped (seal, sea lion and walrus) tourism is an expanding industry, popularized due to the playful and interactive nature of seals. The industry can have positive outcomes for pinnipeds, through education and the promotion of conservation issues, or negative outcomes, such as causing the animals …

Fixing the Shadows: A photographic exploration of beginnings and endings
Fixing the shadows is a photographic project that focuses on processes of cameraless photography and seeks out new ways to work with darkroombased photography that I regard as less environmentally and personally destructive. I explore how methods of fixing an image trace can technically represent a …

Magnetic Stability Analysis for the Geodynamo
… that are ostensibly precluded by the theorem of Cowling (1933), can explain the entry into the non-linear regime without the need for eigenmode analysis.

Determinants of pattern in fynbos vegetation: physical site factors, disturbance regime, species attributes and temporal change
… derived in earlier studies by Taylor (1984b) and Cowling et al. (1996a). Chapter 3 is the first study in fynbos to partition the variance in vegetation pattern into that explained by physical site factors and that explained by the recent disturbance regime. The study explores the role of 30 years …

A Low Order Aerodynamic Model of Embedded Total Temperature Probes
… probes mounted to the guidevanes or engine cowling; however, such a setup can have significant impact on the flow. Difficulties in obtaining direct measurements with traditional total conditions probes have led to the development of an embedded shielded probe. In order to support this …

Problem Food Cravings: a Cycle Fed by Stigma and Shame, a Classical Grounded Theory Exploration of the Experience of Food Cravings in Obese and Formerly-Obese Women
Food cravings, commonly defined as intense desires for a specific food, were identified decades ago as problems for people with a variety of health conditions, including eating disorders (Bruch, 1973), mood disorders (Wurtman, 1988a), premenstrual disorder (Morton et al., 1953) pregnancy (Harries & …
