Food Prices and Inflation Expectations in New Zealand

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food prices are conspicuous, and spending on food constitutes a considerable share of household expenditure. In this study, we use partially identified Bayesian structural vector autoregression models to analyze the effects of food price shocks on core inflation and 1‐ and 5‐year inflation expectations in New Zealand.

Guideline for Bridge Design Wind Speed in Coastal Region [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Computational Structural Engineering Institute of Korea, 2015
Estimation of wind load on bridges is one of the most important aspects in designing bridges in coastal region. Various design codes and researches have suggested the procedure to estimate design wind speed; however, they do not match one another due to many reasons such as incomplete data set, ignorance of wind environment and so on.

Australian Practitioners' Beliefs, Confidence, and Training Needs for Delivering Behaviour Support to Children and Young People in Out‐of‐Home Care

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children in out‐of‐home care (OOHC) frequently present with complex behavioural needs. In New South Wales (NSW), behaviour support plans (BSPs) are mandated when restrictive practices, including psychotropic medication, are used. Little research has examined whether the statutory workforce is adequately prepared to meet behaviour support ...

Characteristics of bridge task in Korean coastal large trawler

open access: yesJournal of the Korean society of Fisheries Technology, 2013
To suggest a standard concerning with the arrangement of bridge equipment, the authors conducted the video observations with 3CCD (charge coupled device) cameras installed on the ceil of the bridge for monitoring the working activities of two bridge teams (the skipper/mate1 and the skipper/mate2) in a Korean coastal large trawler(gross tonnage: 139 ...

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Bridging the gap between academia and practitioners: training coastal zone managers [PDF]

open access: yesPlanet, 2005
This article describes how a Masters Coastal Zone Management (CZM) course has been designed to ensure the gap between academia and practitioners has been bridged to develop students who are well-equipped for the workplace. The course has a robust underpinning of science, but it is strongly vocational to ensure students develop a wide range of knowledge
