Prolactin and wool growth in the Romney ewe : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in animal science at Massey University
… other maternal hormones. Clean wool growth rate, mean fibre diameter and fibre length growth rate all increased at or before parturition indicating that an inhibitory effect on wool growth was removed after the birth of the lamb. A consequence of higher wool growth rates during lactation was …

Analysis of the effects of sire and age on wool quality traits in Romney ewes
… performance and end use were assessed using the Fibrescan objective wool measurement system. Wool staples were side sampled from each of 437 ewes as hoggets and again as two tooths. Sampling date significantly affected mean fibre diameter (MFD), mean curvature, coarse edge (% fleece 10µ > x̄) and …

The development of a computer simulation model of the manufacture of semi-worsted wool yarns
… wool properties used as input variables include mean fibre diameter, fibre diameter CV, mean fibre length, fibre length CV, bundle strength, loose wool bulk, medullation, vegetable matter content, colour (brightness, Y) and whiteness, Y - Z), and degree of entanglement (subjectively assessed). …

Patient-specific thoracic endovascular aoratic repair (TEVAR)
… spun. Electrospun PU scaffolds had a mean ultimate tensile strength of 7.3 MPa, mean Young’s Modulus of 1.9 MPa, and a mean maximum strain of 571%. Fibre morphology analysis showed a mean orientation index of 0.25 (750 rpm) and 0.35 (1000 rpm), mean fibre diameter of 2.3 µm, and a mean …

Agronomic potential of Lupinus polyphyllus L. for dryland Merino properties in the Mackenzie Basin : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University
… and 4.92 kg/ewe for the control flock, with a mean fibre diameter of 18.5 µm. A selection of L. polyphyllus samples were subjected to wet chemistry analyses, which was later used to calibrate a near infrared spectroscopy analyser and predict the nutritional composition of lupin material. Lupin …
