Arctic Ocean Shipping Navigation, Security and Sovereignty in the North American Arctic
No full textIn Arctic Ocean Shipping, Donald R. Rothwell assesses contemporary navigation, security and sovereignty issues in the North American Arctic. Shipping in the Arctic Ocean is becoming a critical legal, geopolitical and security issue as a result of climate change and increased interest from non-Arctic States such as China. The law of the sea provides the key legal framework for the regulation of Arctic Ocean shipping, and has been relied upon by Canada and the United States to develop the legal regime for the Northwest Passage and the Bering Strait. Navigation within the EEZ and high seas in the Arctic is also becoming more strategically significant as a result of climate change. Multiple issues are raised with respect to maritime security and the adequacy of the existing legal regime, including how Canada and the United States will respond to interest being expressed in Arctic shipping by Asian States

Controllable pulse parameter TMS and TMS-EEG as novel approaches to improve neural targeting with rTMS in human cerebral cortex
No full textRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can produce after-effects on the excitability and function of the stimulated cortical site that outlasts the period of stimulation for several minutes or hours (Hamada et al., 2008; Huang et al., 2005; Ridding and Ziemann, 2010; Sommer et al., 2013). These are thought to involve early phases of long term potentiation/depression at cortical synapses. Depending on the area stimulated, the after-effects can influence performance of a variety of cognitive and motor tasks, as well as learning (Parkin et al., 2015; Censor and Cohen, 2011). Reports of beneficial effects on behaviour in healthy populations have led to widespread interest in applying rTMS therapeutically, for example in patients with neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders (George et al., 2013; Lefaucheur et al., 2014; Ridding and Rothwell, 2007).
A major issue with rTMS protocols is that the effects vary considerably within and between individuals (Hamada et al., 2013; Lopez-Alonso et al., 2014; Simeoni et al., 2016; Hinder et al., 2014; Vallence et al., 2015; Vernet et al., 2013; Goldsworthy et al., 2014; Maeda et al., 2000), which causes problems in replication of results in a research setting (Heroux et al., 2015), and is an obstacle to using rTMS in a therapeutic setting. A separate, but related, issue is that rTMS over a given cortical area is often assumed to affect all neuronal populations equally and thus affect all behaviours involving that area similarly, but this may not be true. Here we argue that advanced technologies and methodologies, such as controllable pulse parameter TMS (cTMS; (Peterchev et al., 2014)) and combining TMS with electroencephalography (EEG) (Ilmoniemi and Kicic, 2010; Peterchev et al., 2014), might facilitate the development of more selective forms of stimulation targeting particular neuronal populations or brain states, and ultimately improve the reliability and behavioural specificity of rTMS protocols
