This unit will enable students to understand and evaluate research and literature in the neurobiology of dementia, and to use and communicate that knowledge in their own personal context. It covers the major elements of the brain and the functions of nerve and glial cells, including neurotransmission, in order to support the understanding of the degenerative processes of dementing diseases, the...

This unit engages students with the primary research literature in the neurobiology of dementia, including pathological and functional research, and a range of models and outcomes used to assess potential therapeutics. Genetics, lifestyle risk factors, biomarkers, imaging techniques and assays are examined to equip the student to effectively evaluate the primary research literature. ...

The unit introduces the science behind pasture production and management and the link between pasture or other feedstuffs on animal digestion, feed and nutrient utilisation and productive performance. In the practical classes, students are given the opportunity to perform pasture assessment, assess the digestive system of ruminants, and experience the methods used to determine meat quality. The...

In the practical classes, students are given the opportunity to perform pasture assessment and experience the methods used to determine the quality of feeds. The practical sessions also give the...

This unit revises and expands on the research design and statistical analyses covered in the undergraduate Psychology program and covers the ethics requirements for conducting and reporting research. It reviews the statistical methods introduced in undergraduate units, then introduces more advanced multivariate statistical methods, their purpose, assumptions, and application, highlighting how...

This unit introduces fundamental and advanced concepts to design, analyse and evaluate signals and the response of linear systems. The topics covered include: (1) definitions of signals, generalised functions, definition of linear, time-invariant systems, the convolution theorem, impulse responses, step responses. (2) Continuous time convolution, LTI systems as ODEs, solving ODEs to obtain the...

The unit introduces the theory and practice of signals and linear systems and shows how transform techniques and transfer functions can be used to solve problems in several engineering fields. This unit is considered to be essential for power, electrical, computer, electronic, telecommunications and mechatronic engineering and forms the basis for many third and fourth year units, especially those...

The unit introduces the theory and practice of signals and linear systems and shows how transform techniques and transfer functions can be used to solve problems in several engineering fields. This unit forms the basis for Control Theory required for future control units. Harmonic analysis, signal decomposition and transforms are treated in a logical sequence showing their inter-relationship....

TP3A Students will analyse a case study involving the use of social media in the light of Tasmania Police policy and procedures. The case needs to be considered in the light of academic literature on policing organisations (such as police culture, reform, corruption, performance management, accountability, benchmarking, institutional racism, etc.) and related governmental policies and operational...

Therapeutics in Practice 4 is designed to further develop your ability to determine the most appropriate pharmacotherapeutic management for a range of medical conditions. Drug therapy is the cornerstone for the management of most if not all common medical conditions. The unit builds on your understanding of pharmacology, human biology and basic therapeutics. Having covered a range of conditions...
