Modelling the likelihood of entry of marine non-indigenous species from internationally arriving vessels to maritime ports: a case study using New Zealand data Open
The establishment of marine non-indigenous species (NIS) in new locations can degrade environmental, socio-cultural, and economic values. Vessels arriving from international waters are the main pathway for the entry of marine NIS, via expo…

Sample-based regulatory intervention for managing risk within heterogeneous populations, with phytosanitary inspection of mixed consignments as a case study Open
Inspection of consignments of imported goods is commonly undertaken at national borders in order to prevent incursions of pests and diseases and deter malefactors. Inspection of the whole consignment is usually either impossible or ineffic…

Protocol for a single-centre, parallel-arm, randomised controlled superiority trial evaluating the effects of transcatheter arterial embolisation of abnormal knee neovasculature on pain, function and quality of life in people with knee osteoarthritis Open
Introduction Symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) is common. Advanced knee OA is successfully treated with joint replacement surgery, but effectively managing mild to moderate knee OA can be difficult. Angiogenesis increases with OA and mi…
