  • Maxwell, Alexander (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2005)
    Nationalism depends on the spread of urbanization and, as Karl Deutsch noted, improved communication networks. This means that nationalist organizations tended to appear in cities, even cities dominated by another ethnic ...
  • Pack, Margaret (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1995)
    In August 1993, The Open Polytechnic decided to establish a counselling service for it's 30,000 enrolled students. Historically, The Open Polytechnic (previously the Technical Correspondence Institute) had specialised in ...
  • Pack, Margaret (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1989)
    With the introduction of the Criminal Justice Act 1985 and its orientation toward the provision of community based sentencing options, there is a growing awareness of the importance of encouraging a wide range of sponsoring ...
  • Stevenson, Alison; Callaghan, Samantha (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2008)
    In 2007 the New Zealand Electronic Text Centre undertook the digitisation of H. G. Robley's 'Moko; or Maori Tattooing' along with associated contextual material. This project prompted much thought and debate within the ...
  • Maxwell, Alexander (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2006)
    Tobacco smoking became an important marker of Hungarian national identity during the nineteenth century. This national symbol ultimately had an economic origin: Hungarian tobacco producers resisted the tobacco monopoly of ...
  • Maxwell, Alexander (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2007)
    Powerpoint arouses many strong feelings, but the debate over the popular program typically pits advocates against detractors: fewer people discuss how PowerPoint should best be used in the classroom. Howard Strauss of ...
  • Krawczyk, Jacek B; Zuccollo, James; Contreras, Javier (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2008)
    Consider an electricity market populated by competitive agents using thermal generating units. Such generation involves the emission of pollutants, on which a regulator might impose constraints. Transmission capacities for ...

  • Maxwell, Alexander (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2006)
    Linguists have long been aware that the ubiquitous distinction between "languages" and "dialects" has more to do with political and social forces, typically nationalism, than with objective linguistic distance. This article, ...
  • Maxwell, Alexander (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2006)
    A regionalist approach to teaching European history at the undergraduate level enables Austrian history to be integrated into broader historical narratives that may attract significant student interest. This essay describes ...
  • Maxwell, Alexander (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2007)
    During the "long nineteenth century," nationalism came to permeate all aspects of European society, including attitudes toward human sexuality. Both sexuality and nationalism are complex phenomena that overlap in myriad ...
  • Krawczyk, Jacek B; Azzato, Jeffrey D (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2006)
    In this report, we outline a method for approximating a Markovian (or feedback-Nash) equilibrium of a dynamic game, possibly subject to coupled-constraints. We treat such a game as a "multiple" optimal control problem. A ...
  • Mason, Ingrid (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2008)
    A doctoral theses digitisation project began in March 2008 and was estimated to be complete by November 2008. The phases (some overlapping) of the project were: contract settlement; database development; batch processing ...
  • Harper, J F (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1998)
    Analytical support is given to Fornberg's numerical evidence that the steady axially symmetric flow of a uniform stream past a bluff body has a wake eddy which tends towards a large Hill's spherical vortex as the Reynolds ...
  • Harper, J F (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2007)
    When a gas bubble rises in a surfactant solution, the velocity field and the distribution of surfactant affect each other. This paper gives the theory for small Reynolds and internal Peclet numbers if the surfactant is ...
  • Harper, J F (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2004)
    When a gas bubble rises in an impure liquid, its surface often has an upper spherical cap with negligible shear stress, a lower spherical cap with negligible tangential velocity, and a very small transition region between ...
  • Harper, J F (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1997)
    An analytical theory is given for the viscous wake behind a spherical bubble rising steadily in a pure liquid at high Reynolds number, and for that wake's effect on the motion of a second bubble rising underneath the first. ...
  • Harper, J F (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2007)
    For 50 years Fortran has been a computer language used mainly by engineers and scientists (but by few computer scientists), mainly for numerical work. Five versions were standardised and are commonly referred to as f66, ...
  • Harper, J F (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2007)
    There are surprisingly many essentially different definitions of continuity even of a real function of one real variable. This paper shows that the definitions in various textbooks published from 1893 to 1992 have some ...
  • Harper, J F (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2001)
    Over many years the author and others have given theories for bubbles rising in line in a liquid. Theory has usually suggested that the bubbles will tend towards a stable distance apart, but experiments have often showed ...
