Back to basics: Scientists discover a fundamental mechanism for cell organization (w/Video)
This article outlines the discovery of a mechanism of assembing and localizing subcellular structures in the development of the embryo. According to the researchers, cells use a very simple phase transition similar to water vapor condensation to assemble subcellular structures during development. This article includes a short video portraying the researchers findings. This is a useful site for developmental biology and embryology.

Manage remuneration and employee benefits
This Unit focuses upon developing the skills required to make strategic decisions and recommendations that may affect an organisation's entire remuneration and benefits. It is assumed that you will already possess skills in the HR functions of recruitment and selection, performance management and industrial relations, and have knowledge of labour economics. It is not recommended that you undertake this Unit as a first Unit in the Diploma.

Assess Offender Risks and Needs
This task is concerned with the skills needed to assess offender’s risks and needs through a structured assessment process to determine criminogenic risk. The purpose of this task is to develop an Offender Management Plan which is the basis of offender management and behaviour intervention. This process uses case management principles and an outcomes focus on rehabilitation.

Orchestrating cell separation in plants : what are the risks and benefits?
In this podcast, Professor Roberts from the School of Biosciences discusses his research into the mechanism responsible for regulating cell separation in plants. In particular how plants ‘shed’ parts of themselves such as leaves or fruit. Professor Roberts explores the potential application of his research, through prevention or encouraging of the ‘shedding’ process, agricultural harvests could potentially be increased or even synchronised. Professor Roberts also discusses the resistance

FOAMCARP closed cell aluminium foam
Additions such as SiC are made to molten aluminium or aluminium alloy to modify the melt viscosity and make it suitable for foaming. Calcium carbonate is then added to the melt which is solidified to form a precursor which can be foamed in a controlled manner by a subsequent heat treatment. The resulting foam has a fine and relatively uniform cell structure.

Low magnification SEM image of open cell polyurethane foam
If a gas is injected into a liquid it forms a cellular foam structure. When a thermoset prepolymer of low viscosity is foamed, the polymer can drain from the cell walls (driven by surface tension) before it sets at the cell edges, leaving an open-celled foam. The cell edges have three concave sides, giving rise to the tri-cuspid cross section visible at the bottom of this image. The average co-ordination number for the nodes (where struts meet) is four, giving tetrahedral junctions.

High magnification SEM image of open cell polyurethane foam
If a gas is injected into a liquid it forms a cellular foam structure. When a thermoset prepolymer of low viscosity is foamed, the polymer can drain from the cell walls (driven by surface tension) before it sets at the cell edges, leaving an open-celled foam. The cell edges have three concave sides, and some remnants of collapsed cell walls can be seen at the cell edges.
