Ambasciata d’Italia CANBERRA Bollettino della Comunità Scientifica in Australasia Aprile 2009 Anno IX – Fascicolo I Ufficio dell’Addetto Scientifico PIAR (Publications for Italian and Australian Reseachers Inc) Bollettino della Comunità Scientifica in Australasia Ambasciata d’Italia CANBERRA Aprile 2009 Bollettino della Comunità Scientifica in Australasia Ambasciata d’Italia CANBERRA Aprile 2009 Bollettino della Comunità Scientifica in Australasia Aprile 2009 Sponsored by: I Bollettino della Comunità Scientifica in Australasia Ambasciata d’Italia CANBERRA Aprile 2009 II Bollettino della Comunità Scientifica in Australasia Ambasciata d’Italia CANBERRA Aprile 2009 Introduzione Il Bollettino della Comunita’ Scientifica in Australasia viene pubblicato da nove anni; da due anni PIAR (Publications for Italian and Australian Researchers Inc.) si affianca all’Ufficio dell’Addetto Scientifico nella gestione dell’attivita’ editoriale, nella distribuzione dell’informazione e nella gestione degli sponsors australiani. PIAR, per l’edizione di aprile 2009 e’ anche un intermediario tra due gestioni del’Ufficio Scientifico. Nel panorama internazionale, in cui per i ricercatori e’ necessario pubblicare su riviste specializzate con “Impact Factor” (possibilmente alto), il Bollettino rappresenta un’anomalia. Il comitato di redazione opera una scelta sugli articoli e fornisce commenti, o meglio suggerimenti, non certo paragonabili ad una “peer review”. Il Bollettino si propone come strumento per stimolare la cooperazione internazionale in S&T, principalmente tra Italia e Australia e la sua non specializzazione puo’ essere una fonte di ispirazione per un lettore attento e curioso, in questa era in cui le scoperte scientifiche e le loro applicazioni sono sempre piu’ complesse e da piu’ parti si richiede un approccio interdisciplinare e integrato. Alessandra Iero III Bollettino della Comunità Scientifica in Australasia Ambasciata d’Italia CANBERRA Aprile 2009 Introduction The Bollettino della Comunita’ Scientifica in Australasia is now in its ninth consecutive year of publication. For the last two years PIAR (Publications for Italian and Australian Researchers Inc.) has shared the editorial management, the distribution of information and the relationships with the Australian sponsors with the Scientific Office of the Italian Embassy. PIAR, in the April 2009 issue, has also acted as an intermediary between the outgoing and incoming Scientific Attachés. Internationally, scientists and researchers need to publish on journals of their field with an “Impact Factor” (possibly a high one). In this context the Bollettino is an anomaly. The editorial committee chooses amongst the articles and gives comments and suggestions to the authors, a procedure which is certainly not comparable to a “peer review” process. The Bollettino, however, aims to be a tool for international S&T cooperation, mainly between Italy and Australia; the articles from any field of science and technology can be an inspiration for an attentive and inquisitive reader, especially in this time in which scientific discoveries and their applications are always more complex and there is the need for an interdisciplinary approach and a “lateral management”.

    Obituary Notices Ronald Drayton Brown

    Obituary notices Ronald Drayton Brown Died 31 October 2008, elected to Fellowship 1965 Ronald Drayton (Ron) Brown was born in Melbourne on 14 October 1927. He grew up as an only child in modest suburban circumstances in Prahran and did not come from a scientific or academic background. His father had achieved some distinction in amateur athletics. His secondary education was at Wesley College, to which he had won a scholarship. He excelled in mathematics and physics and was an interested reader of astronomy books. He was dux of the school in his final year and was awarded an exhibition in physics in the Victorian matriculation examinations. In his first undergraduate year at the University of Melbourne, he majored in physics and chemistry. In second year he dropped Ron Brown physics, despite scoring better results than in chemistry. While completing a chemistry major he also informally attended the lectures in third year physics and mathematics, without completing the examinations, ending up with an effective triple major for his BSc in 1946. In the days before it was possible to do a PhD anywhere in Australia, Ron began his research career as an MSc student in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Melbourne with Dr Francis Lahey as supervisor. His thesis topic was alkaloid products from Australian plants, particularly Acronychia baueri. He had chosen this project because it would involve some organic chemistry and some spectroscopy. He was attracted by the relationships between the structure of organic compounds and their spectra, and the use of these ideas in deducing the structure of newly isolated compounds.

Astromobile, SSSA, 2012, Photo by Massimo Brega/The Lighthouse 2. Mascot, ENEA, 1987 Foreword by the ENEA Commissioner Introducing the result of this new initiative of the Agency, I cannot help recalling the early stage of the automation and robotics technology ENEA has contributed to build up in Italy. ENEA was the first research body in Italy and in Europe to develop in 1959, when it was called CNRN, what is perhaps the pioneer of modern robots: the Mascot teleoperator. Designed as a manipulator controlled by a human operator from a very remote control console, Mascot allowed to manage the very dangerous fissile materials, avoiding man’s exposition to nuclear radiation. The performance in sensitivity of operation reached by the Mascot family remains unsurpassed yet, after 60 years and after all the technological progress that the robotics community has been able to build up. I am therefore proud to present this volume, which demanded a detailed and long preparation; and it is not by chance that, in these days of competitiveness, ENEA is still in charge of analyzing the scenario of the Italian research centers’ network, that is working at the highest levels in the whole world.

    Australasian Region IBS-AR Issue 23 Newsletter August 2018 President’s Corner It was my privilege to serve you as the regional president since the beginning of 2017 and this is already the last time I write to you in this President's Corner. There are still four more months left to speak louder through actions than with words. I am thankful to Emi Tanaka who accepted being our inaugural Social Media Officer and with this role, Emi also joined the Regional Council. Emi already made several important contributions and is very active in her role. It is wonderful to see how in our region many early to mid-career biometrician play a leading part in shaping our society. Alan Welsh will take over as President and I will support him for his first year in that role to then step back and continue to contribute in other ways to the IBS. Alan received a well-deserved Honorary Life Membership at the IBC 2018 in Barcelona and is the third distinguished biometrician from the Australasian Region to receive this special accolade, following Sue Wilson (in 2012) and Kaye Basford (in 2016). Helen Newton Turner (1908-1995) was selected from the Australasian Region to name one of the venues at the 29th IBC. As I walked into the foyer of the conference centre there she featured on a banner. Helen was a distinguished Genetist and Statistician, a leading authority on sheep genetics. She worked for the CSIRO and received awards such as the Queen Elizabeth Coronation Medal, the Order of the British Empire, the Order of Australia and the Farrer Memorial Medal.
