… It is likely that poor oral care is a cause for pneumonia in this group, particularly if there is
also dysphagia and in individuals who are enterally fed (Beavan, Meagher & Robertson, …

Background Dysphagia (swallowing problems) are common after stroke and can cause
chest infection and malnutrition. Dysphagic, and malnourished, stroke patients have a poorer …

The GPS velocity field in the North Island of New Zealand is dominated by the long‐term
tectonic rotation of the eastern North Island and elastic strain from stress buildup on the …

Using up to 11 years of data from a global network of Global Positioning System (GPS)
stations, including 12 stations well distributed across the Pacific Plate, we derive present‐day …

The installation of a continuous GPS (cGPS) network in New Zealand since 2002 has enabled
the discovery of 15 slow slip events at the Hikurangi subduction margin. Our analysis and …

A moment magnitude (M w ) 6.2 earthquake struck beneath the outer suburbs of Christchurch,
New Zealand's second largest city, on 22 February 2011 local time. The Christchurch …

… Darby and J. Beavan, Evid•ence from GPS measurements for contemporary plate coupling
on the southern Hikurangi subduction thrust and partitioning of strain in the upper plate, …

… We include the Pacific-Australian relative plate motion (Beavan 2002) as a fixed boundary
condition in our kinematic model. We then use the model to quantify possible rates of faulting …

We develop a kinematic model for the transition from subduction beneath the North Island,
New Zealand, to strike‐slip in the South Island, constrained by GPS velocities and active fault …

Geological observations require that episodic slip on the Alpine fault averages to a long-term
displacement rate of 2-3 cm/yr. Patterns of seismicity and geodetic strain suggest the fault …
