(MDPI AG, 2018)Brassica rapa L., an edible and medical vegetable, has been traditionally used in Uyghur folk medicine to treat coughs and asthma in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. In this study, we prepared an n-butanol ... -
Naming the Early Childhood Professional: Artefacts, Childish Pursuits and Critical Questions
(Auckland University of Technology, 2018)This article addresses the problem of naming those who work with children in early childhood education setting. The article works through some perceived problems associated with shifting boundaries in the profession of ... -
Nanoantioxidants: Recent Trends in Antioxidant Delivery Applications
(MDPI AG, 2020)Antioxidants interact with free radicals, terminating the adverse chain reactions and converting them to harmless products. Antioxidants thus minimize the oxidative stress and play a crucial role in the treatment of free ... -
Nasal air-conditioning during breathing therapy
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2011)It has been reported that continuous positive airway pressure therapy introduces negative nasal side-effects including sneezing, itching, nasal dryness, nasal congestion and/or a runny nose. As these symptoms are suggestive ... -
Nasal air-conditioning during N-CPAP therapy
(Medical Sciences Congress, 2010)Over 40% of people who undertake n-CPAP breathing therapy report problems of rhinitis or nasal congestion despite not having these symptoms prior to treatment. Heated humidification is often used to condition inhaled air ... -
Nasal morphology and blood flow during augmented air pressure breathing therapies
(AUT University, 2011)Air delivered under augmented pressure during breathing therapy normally requires external humidification in order to avoid upper airways dryness and discomfort. Nasal heat and water flux between air and mucosa is dynamically ... -
A National Public Health Programme on Gambling Policy Development in New Zealand: Insights From a Process Evaluation

A Nationwide, Population-based Prevalence Study of Genetic Muscle Disorders
(Karger Publishers, 2019)Background: Previous epidemiological studies of genetic muscle disorders have relied on medical records to identify cases and may be at risk of selection biases or have focused on selective population groups. Objectives: ... -
The Natural Compound Fucoidan From New Zealand Undaria Pinnatifida Synergizes With the ERBB Inhibitor Lapatinib Enhancing Melanoma Growth Inhibition
(Impact Journals, 2017)Melanoma remains one of the most aggressive and therapy-resistant cancers. Finding new treatments to improve patient outcomes is an ongoing effort. We previously demonstrated that melanoma relies on the activation of ERBB ... -
Natural convection heat loss from a partly open cubic enclosure
(Australasian Heat and Mass Transfer Conference, 2016)Natural convection heat transfer in enclosures is an area that has particular significance to a wide range of applications. However, heat transfer from enclosures with openings to the surroundings, such as open windows in ... -
Natural convection heat loss from an open room
(Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2014)Natural convection heat transfer in enclosures is an area that has particular significance to a wide range of applications. However natural convection heat transfer from enclosures with openings to the surroundings, such ... -
Natural convection heat transfer in façade integrated solar concentrators
(Elsevier, 2015)The use of facade (wall) integrated concentrating solar collectors is an area of developing interest within the field of energy-efficient building technology. One way of achieving such a device could be through the use of ... -
Natural convection heat transfer in V-trough solar concentrators
(Springer, 2013)Abstract The use of V-trough concentrators offers a simple approach to increasing the radiation incident on a solar receiver; this is particularly useful for increasing the temperature in thermal systems. However in order ... -
Natural History of Falls in an Incident Cohort of Parkinson’s Disease: Early Evolution, Risk and Protective Features
(Springer, 2017)The natural history of falls in early Parkinson’s disease (PD) is poorly understood despite the profound effect of falls on outcome. The primary aim of this study was to describe the natural history of falls, and characterise ... -
