The Mader model of muscle energy metabolism simulates key metabolic exercise phenomena

Energy metabolism matches adenosine triphosphate (ATP) resynthesis to hydrolysis even during abrupt transitions such as exercise onset. In 1984, Alois Mader proposed a mechanistic model that captures this regulation through 33 coupled differential equations linking oxidative phos...

Podcast talk: Knowledge-making through voice, circulation, and listening

This article argues that podcasting should be understood not merely as a means of disseminating knowledge, but as a knowledge-making practice in its own right. Drawing on theories of broadcast talk, mediated address, and communication as dissemination, it develops the concept of...

Entrepreneurial social foreclosure: When failure eliminates the possibility of recovery

The entrepreneurial failure literature assumes a bounded, autonomous self capable of psychological recovery. This assumption is culturally specific, and it misdescribes failure for founders whose selves are relationally constituted. We introduce Entrepreneurial Social Foreclosure...

Performance Evaluation of a Novel Solar Thermal Water Heating System Integrated with Thermal Energy Storage: A New Zealand Case Study

This study evaluates a solar thermal water heating system integrated with thermal energy storage (TES) for domestic hot water supply in New Zealand. A conventional system without TES was first assessed as the baseline case and then compared with a TES-integrated system using Para...

Longitudinal Changes in Nasal Airflow and Patient‐Reported Outcomes Following Acoustic Nasal Therapy: A Pilot Study

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Acoustic nasal therapy has emerged as a potential non‐pharmacological adjunct for allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), but longitudinal evidence on its effects on nasal airflow and patient‐reported outcomes remains limited. This ea...

IMPACT: Integrated Model For Patient Acuity, Care, And Triage Efficiency In Emergency Department

Adverse patient outcomes in Emergency Departments (ED) are shaped by a complex interplay of clinical, demographic, and operational factors, yet existing approaches often fail to account for these dimensions in an integrated and actionable manner. This study introduces the Integra...

Transdisciplinary research to address youth vaping in Aotearoa New Zealand

Abstract Transdisciplinary educational approaches are increasingly being used to prepare students to address complex societal challenges that extend beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. This paper describes a pilot programme at the University of Auckland that embedded tran...

Validity and within-session reliability of the Exerfly system: A comparison of motorised and non-motorised flywheel squats

This study examined the concurrent validity and within-session reliability of the Exerfly flywheel application. Twelve resistance-trained men completed repeated flywheel back-squat sessions across six inertial loads (0.025–0.15 kg·m 2 ) using motorised and non-motorised modes. Me...

Implementing and upscaling pregnancy and postpartum physical activity: a workgroup report from the international society of behavioral nutrition and physical activity — from individual-level barriers to multilevel implementation and scale-up

Abstract Background Physical activity during pregnancy and the postpartum period is important for maternal health, yet participation remains suboptimal, and the implementation and scale-up of physical activity initiatives across diverse cultural and health-system contexts remain...

Thinking Through Making: Supporting Children’s Inquiry Through Visual Arts in Early Childhood Education

Abstract Inquiry-based approaches in early childhood education recognise the visual arts as a vital mode of thinking, enabling children to theorise, represent, and make meaning through material and sensory exploration. However, integrating the arts meaningfully within inquiry can...

Capability-driven international scale-up: the moderating role of co-creation and technology

Purpose This paper investigates how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in resource-constrained regions build international scale-up intentions and convert them into internationalization performance. Drawing on a dynamic capabilities perspective, the study examines how capa...

Integrating ESG into remanufacturing: third-party model selection aligned with consumer eco-consciousness under the carbon cap-and-trade policy

As global efforts to reduce carbon emissions intensify, manufacturers face increasing pressure to integrate environmental sustainability into their supply chain strategies. Carbon cap-and-trade policies have become an important market-based mechanism for reducing emissions while...

Factors associated with variability in recovery after mild traumatic brain injury among adults referred to outpatient concussion clinics

BACKGROUND: To understand factors associated with symptom and disability recovery trajectories among adults referred to outpatient clinics after mild traumatic brain injury. METHODS: Adults (n = 110; mean age 39 years, 36% men), were assessed at clinic intake (baseline mean 6.5 w...

Stretch versus shortening contractions subsequently decrease versus increase neural drive to the human tibialis anterior

Abstract EMG‐based muscle force predictions are often inaccurate following active muscle stretch or shortening because of residual force enhancement (rFE) or depression (rFD), respectively, which can alter the neural drive to a muscle. However, the extent of neural drive modulati...

A Systematic Review of AI Methods Across the MRI Analysis Pipeline for Multiple Sclerosis Progression Prediction

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based prediction of multiple sclerosis (MS) progression depends on how imaging data are prepared, represented, modelled, and evaluated. This systematic review synthesized artificial intelligence (AI) methods across the MRI-to-prediction pipeline....

Seismic Assessment of a Full-Scale Perimeter-Fixed Ceiling with Hook-And-Loop-Secured Lay-In Tiles Using Shake Table Tests

Grid-and-tile ceiling systems are widely installed in commercial buildings but have frequently experienced damage in past earthquakes, resulting in safety risks, costly repairs, and operational interruptions. The present study examines the seismic performance of a perimeter-fixed...

Measuring child and adolescent behavior in outdoor play environments: a survey among researchers exploring quantitative research methods

Abstract Background Outdoor play environments are essential for children’s and adolescents’ development, making it crucial to understand how to measure their use effectively. This study focuses on quantitative methods, which are well suited to capturing the frequency, intensity,...

Modelling evacuation mode choice behaviour under an imminent threat of volcanic eruption using logistic regression and machine learning methods

Abstract With the increasing frequency of natural hazards worldwide, developing effective evacuation strategies is crucial to reducing their adverse impacts. This study examines the determinants of evacuation mode choice in the event of an imminent volcanic eruption in Auckland,...

Predictive normative modeling of neurocognitive performance in Irish jockeys using regression and neural quantile methods

This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of regression-based methods for generating normative data for neuropsychological test scores, using retrospective cross-sectional data from Irish jockeys between 2010 and 2024. The analysis focuses on four key cognitive assessments u...

Delayed submarine caldera subsidence creates extreme tsunami hazard

The 2022 Hunga volcano eruption generated one of the largest and most destructive volcanic tsunamis ever recorded. We interpret the timing, nature and relative hazard of volcanic-tsunamigenic processes by combining geophysical, oceanographic, atmospheric, and eye-witness observat...
