title: Entropies of the EEG: The effects of general anaesthesia

authors: Sleigh, James W.

subjects: anaesthesia

abstract: The aim of this paper was to compare the performance of different entropy estimators when applied to EEG data taken from patients during routine induction of general anesthesia. The question then arose as to how and why different EEG patterns could affect the different estimators. Therefore we also compared how the different entropy estimators responded to artificially generated signals with predetermined, known, characteristics. This was done by applying the entropy algorithms to pseudoEEG data:
(1) computer-generated using a second-order autoregressive (AR2) model,
(2) computer-generated white noise added to step signals simulating blink and eyemovement artifacts and,
(3) seeing the effect of exogenous (computer-generated) sine-wave oscillations added to the actual clinically-derived EEG data set from patients undergoing induction of anesthesia.

title: The increasing imperative of cross-disciplinary research in tax

authors: Alley, Clinton

subjects: tax administration

abstract: National research agendas are focusing increasing on encouraging cross-disciplinary research collaboration. Research into tax administration should provide a natural context for cross-disciplinary research as it operates at the intersection of several disciplines. However, there is little evidence of cross-disciplinary research in tax administration beyond research into tax compliance and tax evasion. This article argues that such research will provide significant benefits to research output and impact. It provides examples of the benefits in development frameworks for and measures of good practice in tax administration.

title: The Niupepa Collection: Opening the blinds on a window to the past

authors: Keegan, Te Taka Adrian Gregory

subjects: computer science

abstract: This paper describes the building of a digital library collection of historic newspapers. The newspapers (Niupepa in Maori), which were published in New Zealand during the period 1842 to 1933, form a unique historical record of the Maori language, and of events from an historical perspective. Images of these newspapers have been converted to digital form, electronic text extracted from these, and the collection is now being made available over the Internet as a part of the New Zealand Digital Library (NZDL) project at the University of Waikato.
