title: Calcium modeling and TMS variability

authors: Wilson, Marcus T.

subjects: Modeling

abstract: • We have modelled Calcium-dependent plasticity with a Neural Field scheme
• Developed the approach further to modelling MEPs
• Modelling can reproduce MEP ranges from submillivolt to ~10 mV
• Modelling can reproduce both potentiation and depression following cTBS and iTBS
• In terms of variability of MEPs, the following are important:
• TMS-to-e coupling strength (parameter μ)
• Excitatory-to-excitatory coupling strength wee
• Number of pulses / time since stimulation
• Include reporting of actual thresholds when %RMT is used

title: The enlargement of the Suez Canal and introduction of non-indigenous species to the Mediterranean Sea

authors: Galil, Bella S.

abstract: The Suez Canal is one of the most important waterways in the world – during the last year 17,148 ships passed through the Canal – reducing emissions, saving time, and operating costs to shippers. The rapid increase in ship size from the “Post-Suezmax” (> 12,000 TEU) to the latest container vessels (> 19,000 TEU) now requires enlargements of port facilities and canals. 
A project of this magnitude, and with potentially negative environmental outcomes, requires a transparent and scientifically sound “Environmental Impact Assessment” (EIA). An explicit obligation on Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (https://www.cbd.int/doc/ legal/cbd-en.pdf) was made to consider transboundary impacts on biodiversity, particularly those associated with invasive non-indigenous species.

title: Te Arawa– Kaitaki of Te Arawa Lakes

authors: Curtis, Sir Toby

abstract: The Te Arawa Lakes Trust has embarked on a project to develop a Te Arawa Cultural Values Framework, in regard to the 14 lakes located in our tribal region. There are a host of positives that we believe can accrue as an outcome of this exercise. Already the calibre of people acknowledged for their cultural expertise have added a lot by their attendance. Their presence and contribution injected a level of enthusiasm and confidence in the compilation of the final draft. It is hoped that distribution among the wider community will elicit constructive feedback.
