This unit is the fourth and the final one of the Research Thesis unit series concerning the development, planning and conduction of a research project in the area of clinical pharmacy, pharmacy practice or clinical pharmacology. This unit involves preparation and submission of the final thesis. Students must undertake all units (Research Thesis 1, 2,3 and 4) to complete their research thesis in...

Coastlines and river catchments undergo processes of change, bringing complex management issues. Focus is on sedimentary environments of hill slopes, river channels, beaches and estuaries, including natural hazards such as flooding, landslides and coastal erosion. Vulnerability of different types of coastlines to sea-level rise is explored, using international case studies where serious problems...

Biology of Plants is a 1st year core unit for students specialising in plant science, agricultural science, and marine science. In Biology of Plants we introduce you to the origin, diversity, structure and internal processes of plants. In lectures and practical classes, we examine the fine structure of plant cells, the organisation of tissues, structure, development and sexual reproduction in...

This unit introduces the fundamental principles in the modelling and control of linear time-invariant systems. On completion of this unit you will be able to design a feedback controller. The unit begins with an introduction to feedback control systems with analogy to mechanical and electronic systems. These dynamic systems are described by deriving mathematical models in both the frequency...

Introduction to fundamentals of control designer concepts. Signal flow graphs will be covered with focus on cascade, parallel, controller canonical, observer canonical and phase variable forms. Frequency domain (PID) designs will be covered using a root locus to improve steady state errors and transient responses. Both cascade and feedback compensators will be considered along with the effects of...

Tasmania has a distinctive fauna, even in Australian contexts, but it illustrates a range of principles that are globally relevant. This unit will provide students with an understanding of the factors that influence the diversity and distribution of biota, with an emphasis on insular systems (island biogeography) and the roles of abiotic and biotic factors. Some fauna will be approached from the...

An honours graduate must acquire advanced discipline-specific knowledge of their research area, as well as the ability to demonstrate higher level skills in method development, project execution and communication. This unit allows you - a commencing Honours candidate in the School of Geography, Planning and Spatial Science - to prepare for your upcoming honours research project by allowing you to...

This unit is the first of a Research Thesis unit series concerning the development, planning and conduct of a research project in clinical pharmacy, pharmacy practice or clinical pharmacology. This unit is designed to introduce students to the concepts, principles and practical skills required to undertake a literature review and prepare a research proposal and ethics application. Students must...

Each student is required to undertake a substantial high level two-semester project, this unit being the first, within their engineering discipline, which may involve aspects of research and development work, engineering design, literature survey, experimental work, theoretical work, computational studies, simulation, prototype testing and implementation. Industry linked projects are encouraged....
