Kicking it through the uprights: getting it published after presenting at PAS

Rebuilding after the tsunami: getting it right.

The practice of integrated coastal management (ICM) has matured sufficiently since its beginnings in the early 1980s to suggest a set of principles that could be used to guide the massive investments that will be made over the next several years to rehabilitate and reconstruct the thousands of kilometers of coastlines devastated by the 26 December 2004 tsunami. We offer six principles to guide ...

Biologically-Inspired Design: Getting It Wrong and Getting It Right

Large, complex computing systems have many similarities to biological systems, at least at a high level. They consist of a very large number of components, the interactions between which are complex and dynamic, and the overall behavior of the system is not always predictable even if the components are well understood. These similarities have led the computing community to look to biology for d...

Getting a Mba: Is It worth It?

SUMO: getting it on.

Post-translational modification of cellular proteins by the SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) is involved in numerous modes of regulation in widely different biological processes. In contrast with ubiquitination, SUMO conjugation is highly specific in terms of target lysine residues, but many aspects of substrate and lysine selection by the SUMO conjugating machinery are still poorly unde...

Appointments - getting it right.

BACKGROUND Only 36% of sick Australians report being able to get an appointment on the day they need it, which is poor by international standards. This delay in care may impact on practice team morale, practice profitability and patient care. The Australian Primary Care Collaboratives Program aims to find better ways to provide primary healthcare services to patients through shared learning, pe...
