The O'Farrell Government risks a dangerous precedent here with respect to the need for any traffic studies, for any reason, in the future. Notwithstanding both the overt and covert deficiencies in the Parsons Brinckerhoff report, if ever there was a traffic study urging "proceed with extreme caution, or indeed, don't proceed at all", it is fhrs traffic study.

In patients and in animal models of MND it has been observed that there is a change in the properties of motoneurons, termed neuronal hyperexcitability, which is an exaggerated response of the neurons to a stimulus. Previous studies suggested neuronal excitability is one of the leading causes for neuronal loss, however the factors that instigate excitability in neurons over the course of disease onset and progression are not well understood, as these studies have looked mainly at embryonic or early postnatal stages (pre-symptomatic).

  • Dynamic Interplay Between H-Current and M-Current Controls Motoneuron
    Buskila et al. Cell Death and Disease (2019) 10:310 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-019-1538-9 Cell Death & Disease ARTICLE Open Access Dynamic interplay between H-current and M-current controls motoneuron hyperexcitability in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Yossi Buskila1,2,OrsolyaKékesi1,2,3,4, Alba Bellot-Saez1,2,WinstonSeah1,2,3,4,TraceyBerg3,4, Michael Trpceski3,4, Justin J. Yerbury3,4 and Lezanne Ooi3,4 Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a type of motor neuron disease (MND) in which humans lose motor functions due to progressive loss of motoneurons in the cortex, brainstem, and spinal cord. In patients and in animal models of MND it has been observed that there is a change in the properties of motoneurons, termed neuronal hyperexcitability, which is an exaggerated response of the neurons to a stimulus. Previous studies suggested neuronal excitability is one of the leading causes for neuronal loss, however the factors that instigate excitability in neurons over the course of disease onset and progression are not well understood, as these studies have looked mainly at embryonic or early postnatal stages (pre-symptomatic). As hyperexcitability is not a static phenomenon, the aim of this study was to assess the overall excitability of upper motoneurons during disease progression, specifically focusing on their oscillatory behavior and capabilities to fire repetitively. Our results suggest that increases in the intrinsic excitability of 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; motoneurons are a global phenomenon of aging, however the cellular mechanisms that underlie this hyperexcitability are distinct in SOD1G93A ALS mice compared with wild-type controls. The ionic mechanism driving increased excitability involves alterations of the expression levels of HCN and KCNQ channel genes leading to a complex dynamic of H-current and M-current activation.

  • NSDC Submission 20191119
    Northern Sydney District Council of Parents & Citizens Associations Submission: Schools at the Meadowbank Education and Employment Precinct Wednesday, 20 November 2019 Abstract The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment has invited formal submissions on the State Significant Development Application for the new schools. In this submission the Northern Sydney District Council of P&C Associations (NSDC) outlines the probable requirement for the acquisition of additional land and the significant upgrade of Melrose Park Public School and Ermington Public School and the possible requirement for two additional primary schools within the Melrose Park precincts. NSDC identifies the requirement to build a new secondary school possibly for more than 2,000 students, ideally on the current site of Marsden High School, West Ryde. The NSW Government has announced that Marsden High School will be relocated to the new Meadowbank Education Precinct with capacity for 1500 secondary school students. The school will also include capacity for 120 students attending intensive English classes. In absence of demographic projections from the Department of Education, in conjunction with Marsden High School P&C Association, NSDC has performed a demographic analysis using a sophisticate demographic model based on ABS Census Data 2006-2016 for similar developments at Rhodes and Wentworth Point. This analysis has concluded that Meadowbank schools will be at capacity as early as 2023. The expansion of capacity at the Meadowbank campus addresses only the demographic growth resulting from the high density residential development at Meadowbank and Shepherds Bay plus demographic growth in existing suburbs in the eastern half of the current school catchment area.

    © 2018. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd | Journal of Cell Science (2018) 131, jcs220806. doi:10.1242/jcs.220806 FIRST PERSON First person – Natalie Farrawell First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Natalie Farrawell is the first author on ‘SOD1A4V aggregation alters ubiquitin homeostasis in a cell model of ALS’, published in Journal of Cell Science. Natalie is a Senior Research Assistant in the lab of Justin Yerbury at the Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute, University of Wollongong, Australia, investigating the molecular processes underpinning amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), with a particular emphasis on protein misfolding, protein aggregation and inclusion formation. How would you explain the main findings of your paper in lay terms? Inside each of the cells within our body are millions of protein molecules bustling about and working hard. Proteins have many functions; for example, they can be used as building blocks or transporters. Various molecular systems within cells recognise whether or not proteins are functioning normally. When proteins are damaged and cannot function normally, an important cellular garbage disposal system is called upon. Ubiquitin is the molecule responsible for targeting damaged proteins to the cells’ garbage disposal machinery. In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as motor neurone disease or Lou Gehrig’s disease), damaged proteins accumulate and form toxic deposits called inclusions that can’t be disposed of by the cell very quickly. In our study, we found that these inclusions contain large amounts of ubiquitin, which means that the levels of free ubiquitin Natalie Farrawell within the cell are compromised and the cellular garbage disposal system is perturbed, eventually leading to cell death.

    Sydney Technical High School 2019 Annual Report 8141 Page 1 of 35 Sydney Technical High School 8141 (2019) Printed on: 1 June, 2020 Introduction The Annual Report for 2019 is provided to the community of Sydney Technical High School as an account of the school's operations and achievements throughout the year. It provides a detailed account of the progress the school has made to provide high quality educational opportunities for all students, as set out in the school plan. It outlines the findings from self–assessment that reflect the impact of key school strategies for improved learning and the benefit to all students from the expenditure of resources, including equity funding. School contact details Sydney Technical High School Forest Rd Bexley, 2207 www.sydneytech-h.schools.nsw.edu.au [email protected] 9587 5899 Message from the principal It has been a wonderful experience for 2019 to be relieving as Principal. I have been very grateful for the opportunity and I have worked industriously to continue the great work of our former principal, Jacqueline Lyons. I feel very privileged to work in such a great school and am very glad that I am able to motivate and challenge our students to develop their natural abilities and drive them to strive for their personal best. The school community suffered greatly with the tragic passing of our Year 7 student, but I think that the strength and resilience of the staff, the students and the community have allowed us to work together and support one another through the difficult times as well as supporting the family and our colleagues at Hurstville Public School.
