Culture, Community, and Development: Unpacking the ‘Socio‐Cultural Milieu Dynamics’ of Solomon Islands and Their Influence on Australia's Aid Localisation

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using public ethnography anchored in the post‐development theory and interpretivist epistemological paradigm, this study examines what we term the ‘socio‐cultural milieus dynamics’ (SCMD) of the Solomon Islands (SI) and how these shape meaning, discourse, and practice in ways that influence Australia's aid localisation efforts and aid outcomes.

Structure and optics of the anterior segment of the cetacean eye : a thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy at Massey University [PDF]

, 1999
The anterior segment of the mammalian eye is concerned with the function and maintenance of its optical components, the most important of these being the maintenance of transparency and stable intraocular pressure.

Indigenous resurgence in the Blue Economy: Relational values to guide kelp mariculture

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Decisions about how to use ocean spaces are increasingly attuned to issues of social equity, environmental sustainability and climate resilience, yet often bypass local governance, knowledge, values and thus objectives. To inform future decisions about kelp harvest and mariculture activities on the west coast of Canada, we co‐designed research

Dimensional Stability and Mechanical Performance of Thermally Conditioned High‐Heat Polylactic Acid Parts Produced by Fused Filament Fabrication

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Dimensional accuracy and tensile strength of high‐heat PLA parts printed by FFF as a function of printing temperature and annealing, highlighting the 210‐240°C window where geometry, UTS and model predictions are jointly optimized. ABSTRACT Additively manufactured high‐heat PLA parts must balance dimensional fidelity and tensile performance.

A Novel Crawling Robot Based on the Hexagonal Mesh Structure and Enhanced PID Control Strategy

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The locomotion of crawling robots is similar to that of caterpillars, relying on foot adhesion and body contraction to ensure flexible movement without compromising stability. However, most existing pneumatic soft crawling robots are incapable of simultaneously achieving forward, backward, turning, and climbing capabilities.
