What's On at UWA

This course covers techniques that can be used to analyse data with continuous and categorical variables. The course will begin with simple linear regression and then proceed with approaches that can be used with more than two variables such as multiple regression. ANOVA with interactions and (...)

One of the major challenges for the emergence of complex multicellular organisms is to generate an enormous diversity of cell types from a single genomic sequence. In the simplest scenario, the different cells would have the exact same protein complement available during embryo development to (...)

Psychology Colloquium Tuesday 19th July 4-5pm in Bayliss MCS G.33, followed by post talk drinks (mulled wine?) in the Psychology Courtyard (or, in really bad weather,the Psychology Common Room, 2nd floor of main psychology building)

Presenter: Prof David Alais (U Sydney)

With life expectancy on the rise, osteoporosis, the most common form of skeletal disease, is likely to pose a significant burden on both patients and healthcare infrastructure for the foreseeable future. Imbalances at the unique immunological niche of the bone marrow in osteoporosis, and diseases (...)

Dr Yuya Tanaka (Tokyo Institute of Technology) Organometallic Molecular Wires: Mixed Valency across Porphyrin linkers

Mixed-valence (MV) complexes serve as models of molecular wires due to their remarkable electron transfer processes between terminal metal ends. In particular, MV (...)

The 2016 George Seddon Memorial Lecture by Professor Kingsley Dixon, Director, ARC Centre for Mine Restoration, Department of Environment and Agriculture, Curtin University.

Western Australia and the southwest in particular is blessed with one of the richest floras on earth - in fact we (...)

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are synthetic chemicals that are released into the environment. They bio-accumulate in the adipose tissue stores in the human via inhalation, ingestion or dermal adsorption. During milk synthesis, these bio-accumulated pesticides are secreted into the milk. This (...)

The nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex remodels the genome in the context of both gene transcription and DNA damage repair. It is essential for normal development and is distributed across multiple tissues in organisms ranging from mammals to nematode worms. In common with other (...)

Speaker: Professor Raffaele Dellacà was awarded a Masters degree in Information Technology Engineering from the Politecnico di Milano in 1997. He obtained a PhD degree in Bioengineering in 2001 on the assessment of respiratory mechanics by opto-electronic plethysmography and forced oscillations (...)

Conservation projects implemented on private land often generate both public and private benefits. Private benefits are important determinants of cost-effectiveness, success, and adoption of such projects. However, they have not been adequately considered in ecological restoration planning and (...)

The density functional formalism is ubiquitous in condensed matter physics, chemistry, and materials science, and many newcomers to the field are surprised to learn that this development — particularly in chemistry — is just 25 years old. The origins go back, however, to the first days of (...)

Psychology Colloquium: Monday 8th August from 5-6pm in the Bayliss MCS G.33, followed by post-talk drinks in the Psychology Courtyard (or in bad weather, the Psychology Common Room, 2nd Floor of Main Psychology building).

Presenter: Peter Lovibond (UNSW)

Peter Lovibond is a (...)

of enzyme allostery may not apply to DHDPS. However, we show using biophysical analyses that DHDPS from Triticum aestivum (i.e. bread wheat) is allosterically regulated by lysine-induced dissociation of the active oligomeric species. This represents a rare example of the morpheein allosteric model � (...)

Dr. Juliana Hamzah is a NHMRC-National Heart Foundation R.D. Wright research fellow with expertise on targeted delivery for imaging and therapy. Previously she was an American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Nanomedicine, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (...)

Documenting the contribution of nature to human wellbeing, e.g., as human values or ecosystem services, is critical to the effective management of natural resources. However, problems with classifying desirable end states, including the mixing of means and ends, undermine research, planning and (...)

Chemistry over the millennia has had many great successes, often despite fundamental knowledge of the actual processes involved. The advent of quantum mechanics a hundred years ago provides the modern basis for understanding these processes, but this theory depicts great complexity rather than the (...)

The Seminar: The relationship between the geographical characteristics of a place and the inhabitants’ health was first described in 400 B.C.E. by Hippocrates. Since then, many medical studies have utilized cartographic and geographic tools for epidemiologic and social research. With the (...)

Join Dr Ellen Jorgensen for a free talk during National Science Week. Hear about Ellen’s fascinating project to barcode native plant species in a remote area of Alaska for their future conservation. Dr Jorgensen is visiting from New York, where she is co-founder of Genspace – the world’s (...)
