    The properties and fertility of high country yellow-brown earths found under natural vegetation
    (Lincoln College. Department of Soil Science., 1985-04) Harrison, R.; Swift, R. S.
    Two soil development sequences in the upper Waimakariri Basin, Canterbury, New Zealand, were studied. These were the Avoca Terrace (AT) sequence (annual precipitation ca. 1200mm yr ⁻¹), and the Craigieburn Moraine (CM) sequence (annual precipitation ca. 2000mm ⁻¹ yr ). The Avoca Terrace sequence comprises a stream-cut flight of five terraces at Puffers Stream, near the Avoca railway station. The Craigieburn Moraine sequence comprises three soils from the moraine sets of two separate valleys; at Tims Stream, and at Porter Heights. On the basis of field observations (geomorphology, stratigraphy, soil profile descriptions) it was considered that the soils in each sequence differed primarily as a result of the time of soil development, and hence each could be considered to form a chronosequence. Thus, the soils in the Avoca sequence were designated ATl, AT2, AT3, AT4, ATS in order of increasing soil development. The soils in the Craigieburn sequence were designated CM/T(I), CM/T(II), CM/P(III) in order of increasing soil development, the symbol '/T' indicating the Tims Stream moraine set, and '/P' indicating the Porter Heights moraine set.

    Prospects for New Zealand biosphere reserves
    (Lincoln College. Tussock Grasslands & Mountain Institute on behalf of New Zealand National Commission for Unesco & Dept. of Lands & Survey, 1979) Robertson, B. T.; O'Connor, Kevin F.; Molloy, B. P. J.
    Between October 27 and November 7, 1977 a UNESCO Regional Workshop on Techniques for Selection of Biosphere Reserves was held in Australia and New Zealand. The workshop was supported jointly by the UNESCO Regular Programme and Participation Programme, the Australian National Commission for UNESCO and the New Zealand National Commission for UNESCO. One of the priority UNESCO Man and Biosphere (MAB) programme project areas during 1977 /78 was project No. 8 "The Conservation of Natural Areas and of the Genetic Material They Contain". This project is usually referred to as that involved with the establishment of "biosphere reserves". The workshop programme involved representatives from sixteen countries, principally from the Asian and Pacific regions. Field study and discussion was held in an arid area in South Australia and a sub-tropical forest area in Queensland, Australia. The emphasis during the New Zealand sector was on the mountain environment where field study was based at Mt Cheeseman in the Craigieburn Range and in the Upper Waimakariri Catchment. The Department of Lands and Survey was responsible for organisational arrangements for the New Zealand sector of the workshop on behalf of the New Zealand National Commission for UNESCO. Valuable assistance was given by the Tussock Grasslands and Mountain Lands Institute, Lincoln College, the Botany Division Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Zealand Forest Service, Wildlife Service Department of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Works and Development. Background papers reviewing progress on MAB project No. 8 in this country, relating the biosphere reserve concept to New Zealand and discussing the place of genetics in conservation were presented during the New Zealand sector of the workshop. In addition, papers by acknowledged experts on particular aspects of New Zealand mountain natural history were also presented. The papers are published in this document for future reference by all interested in the biosphere reserve concept and its implementation. The report containing proceedings and findings of the workshop has been published by the Australian National Commission for UNESCO.

    Agricultural accounting : Perspectives and issues
    (Lincoln University. Accounting and Finance Unit, 1989) Juchau, Roger H.; Clark, Murray; Radford, Jack
    This book is designed to acquaint the reader with a sample of key writings in agricultural accounting which focus on financial accounting and reporting. The writings have been selected to provide insights into the issues and practices that have been dominant in the professional literature. Some academic writing has been included to provide additional viewpoints. In drawing the sample, attention has been given to writings which are highly illustrative or descriptive of financial recording and reporting as well as those which have a critical or explanatory focus.

    Science in a rural community : A report on the Kurow, 1977 MAB seminar
    (Lincoln College. Tussock Grasslands and Mountain Lands Institute, 1979) Cant, Garth; O'Connor, Kevin
    The Kurow Seminar was held November 18-20, 1977. It brought together a number of researchers who have carried out projects related to the Waitaki Integrating Unit which is a major part of the New Zealand Man and the Biosphere Programme. The programme was initiated in January 1974 and since that date has produced an integrated report on the Waitaki Basin (K.F. O'Connor, An Introduction to the Waitaki, New Zealand Man and Biosphere Report No. 1, Tussock Grasslands and Mountain Lands Institute, Lincoln College, 1976) and supported a number of individual research projects by students and staff from the three South Island universities. The programme is co-ordinated by a Steering Committee convened by Professor Kevin O'Connor.

    Hooked on the Hype: Understanding the key factors driving US consumers’ fear of missing out on social media
    (2026-06-15) Rombach, Meike; Guenther, Meike; Lucock, Xiaomeng; Gow, Hamish; Dean, David
    This research explores key factors explaining different types of fear of missing out. It is dedicated to social media interaction, social media involvement, and anticipated emotions and two emerging types of FOMO: Fear of missing out on social inclusion (Herd-FOMO) and fear of not doing anything (FONDA). The results from partial least squares structural equation modelling show that anticipated emotions and social media involvement have significant positive influences on both Herd-FOMO and FONDA, and that social media interaction has a significant positive influence on Herd-FOMO.
