title: Puarenga Stream alum dosing – effects on Lake Rotorua/Sulphur Bay biota 2016

authors: Ling, Nicholas

abstract: Continuous alum dosing of the Puarenga Stream commenced in early 2010 to reduce inflows of dissolved reactive phosphorus to Lake Rotorua. Analyses of bioaccumulation in the tissues of macrobiota were undertaken in February 2016 for comparison to comparable samples obtained prior to and since the commencement of alum dosing to satisfy annual resource consent conditions 8.7 and 8.8 of resource consent 65559.

No significant effects of alum dosing could be distinguished. Bioavailable aluminium in the vicinity of Sulphur Bay appears to be primarily influenced by the major geothermal activity of this region. Lake water chemistry in the vicinity of Sulphur Bay is heavily influenced by the direction of geothermal flows emanating from the Bay. No significant differences in aluminium bioaccumulation were observed in any species compared to samples obtained prior to the commencement of alum dosing. Continuous alum dosing of the Puarenga Stream since 2010 apparently does not result in adverse effects to Lake Rotorua shoreline biota nor cause any apparent increase in aluminium bioaccumulation in lake biota in the vicinity of Sulphur Bay.

title: Semantic Bookworm: mining literary resources revisited

authors: Hinze, Annika

subjects: computer science

abstract: In this paper, we describe Semantic Bookworm-a tool that supports scholarly text analysis. In contrast to the text-based Bookworm tool, the Semantic Bookworm identifies semantic concepts.

title: Kaupapa Māori research- Some Kaupapa Māori principles

authors: Smith, Linda Tuhiwai

abstract: This paper was first presented at a conference of Māori academic staff at Massey University in 1996. It predates the publication of Decolonising Methodologies in 1998. You will note that since this paper was first presented our understandings and experiences in using Kaupapa Māori have deepened and we have significant capacity in Kaupapa Māori research. In 1996 there were many topics we could not imagine in depth as we had not completed the work to realise the potential of Kaupapa Māori. Also, our thinking was tentative and we were searching for the pathways to research that made sense in Māori ways. In looking back on the paper I can see my own naïve explorations into ideas that I thought were important. I have resisted the urge to rewrite this paper entirely as I think it stands as a good historical moment of where we were and where we are now. It needs to be read in the context of the 1990s.
