What's On at UWA

Understanding the soils of SW Australia; how their unusual and extreme properties affect soil fertility.

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) can induce functionally relevant plasticity in the human cortex. While there is great potential for these protocols to be used therapeutically in a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders, clinical applicability is currently limited by high response (...)

Sandy soils have a coarse texture and are therefore fast draining. Consequently they have a very low water-retention capacity which may compromise turf grass establishment, growth and survival. Addition of soil amendments with fine particle sizes (e.g. clays) may alleviate this and increase soil (...)

Hudson will deliver a session that will give you the chance to explore and learn about Assessment Centres including how they are used, what to expect and how to make the most out them.

You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions related to: typical activities in an assessment (...)

NMR spectroscopy finds its most prominent applications in structural biology and systems biology. Structural biology is a well-travelled realm, but NMR-based metabolomics and the application of NMR in systems biology are relatively new and less known lands. This presentation will touch on various (...)

Building upon the theoretical concepts that underpin this still youthful and dynamic discipline, this unit broadens and extends understanding of the practica application of advanced modern epidemiological principles. Current issues in epidemiology will be presented, with particular emphasis on (...)

From the odd to the mundane, new forms of life are emerging in labs, workshops and studios. With the promise of exploitation for health and wealth we are seeing life as it previously never existed, albeit smothered in hyperbole, rhetoric and speculation. How do cultures such as Indigenous Australia (...)

A public lecture by John Statton and Gary Kendrick, UWA Oceans Institute.

At The University of Western Australia's Oceans Institute, and in collaboration with industry partners and international experts, we are developing large scale restoration techniques that can be used to both (...)

This presentation will address selected case studies applied to a range of different problems of relevance to materials science, catalysis, environmental applications or pharmaceutical and petroleum industries, difficult to solve by other solid-state characterisation tools. The presentation is (...)

In order to meet the increasing demands on agriculture by a growing global population, a comprehensive understanding of the limiting and destructive factors in our current agricultural practices, is necessary. One of these key areas of knowledge is the intrinsic relationship between plant and (...)

For annual plants, the seasonal timings of seed germination and of flowering are important life cycle events with significant implications for ecological adaptation and fitness. Synchronized germination and reproduction are also critical for efficient production of annual crops. We have used (...)

A population of Echinochloa colona from the northern region of Western Australia evolved glyphosate resistance after 10 years of glyphosate selection and the expression of associated fitness costs in this population was studied. When assessing fitness costs associated with resistance, it is crucial (...)

Stem cells rely on, and are finely tuned to respond to, their immediate microenvironment, which can be exceedingly complex. Biomaterials must present cells with finely tuned mechanical cues to systematically examine their control over development or pathological insults. In this talk I will (...)
