We look It can cause destruction, leaving forward to an exciting time ahead as he makes his own the patient a mere shell of his/her distinctive mark on the School for which he already physical and mental self. holds such a great affection. Fortunately, the human spirit is remarkable, facilitating both body and mind to navigate the myriad Cooper Rice-Brading daily challenges. For Cooper, the greatest challenge is not the intense physical pain from an array of treatments and surgeries, but the mental strain of facing his mortality at such a young age. Cooper has mentioned on many occasions he yearns for his former life. His dream? The normalcy of attending school, playing cricket with friends, homework, and feeling like an eighteen year-old. His mind frequently wanders to a time where his only real life pressure was producing an ATAR worthy of the outstanding education he has received at Grammar. He works harder than ever before to fight his condition, to apply himself academically and, where physically possible, to excel at cricket. The goal is no longer a 90+ ATAR or a five-wicket haul, the goal is simply to make every moment count, and to make a difference. Countless months in surgeries, hospitals and operating theatres revealed a The Headmaster common thread: Old Sydneians are making an immense mark in the field of medicine, coupling a privileged education and hard work to make a profound impact on the lives of patients like Cooper.

Major renovations to this 800-seat facility commenced in December 2016 and were completed in May this year. The scope of works involves a significant aesthetic upgrade including replacement of theatre seats, rendering and painting of walls and improvements to house lighting. There has also been a significant technical upgrade, including a state of the art sound and audio-visual system as well as improved theatre lighting. The renovated space will continue to support the Drama programme, but it is expected that the improvements will also support a much wider range of activities.

  • The Pioneers of Australian Military Malariology: Some Biographical Profiles (Part 1)
    History The Pioneers of Australian military malariology: Some biographical profiles (Part 1) Ian Howie-Willis Abstract Australian military malariology has a long but discontinuous history extending back to the Boer War and possibly earlier. Its origins could possibly have been in the Sudan campaign (1885) and more certainly in the second Boer War (1899–1902) in the years before the establishment of the Australian Army. The discipline has continued, increasingly purposefully during the past half-century, to the present. The continuing struggle of the Australian Defence Force against malaria is now led by the Australian Army Malaria Institute (AAMI), the forerunner of which, the 1st Malaria Research Laboratory (1MRL), was founded in June 1966. The Army’s anti-malaria effort has typically been led by officers of the Royal Australian Army Medical Corps; however, particular distinguished civilian malariologists have also influenced the directions taken by Australian military malariology. This article is the first in a proposed series that will trace the careers of about 20 Australian malariologists who have made significant, pioneering contributions to the development of their discipline. As the AAMI will be able to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the formal establishment of the 1MRL on 14 June 2016, such a series is timely. Later articles in the series will demonstrate how the AAMI has grown from humble, even inauspicious origins as the 1MRL to become a leading malariological research agency. Introduction One way of conceptualising the development of Australian malariology is to view it through a Malariology was a late developing discipline in ‘biographical prism’, that is to trace the growth of the Australia.

  • 2D NMR Experiments at 60Mhz: COSY-90 and COSY-45 App Note 10
    2D NMR experiments at 60 MHz: Application Note 10 COSY-90 and COSY-45 NMR Introduction In December 2016 it was widely reported† that students from Sydney Grammar School reproduced the drug Daraprim®, also known as pyrimethamine. The students followed a reaction pathway to produce it, and the final product was analysed at the University of Sydney, School of Chemistry (200 MHz 1H NMR spectrum shown in Figure 1 below)‡. This substance is used as an example to illustrate 60 MHz NMR spectrometer performance (also Figure 1), and the difference between the two-dimensional (2D) experiments, COSY-90 and COSY-45. Method This application note shows a comparison of these two experiments at 60 MHz (Figures 3 and 4), and detailed data treatment with Mestrelab’s Mnova software; a full suite of advanced routines for processing and analysing data. 1D 1H NMR spectra (as in Figure 1) are commonly performed as they provide rich qualitative and quantitative information about the environment of atoms in molecules, which can be used to identify and characterise compounds and reactions. 2D NMR experiments such as COSY provide further information about Figure 1. 1H NMR spectra of pyrimethamine at 200 MHz (top) and 60 MHz (bottom). Sample details connectivity between atoms, at 60 MHz = 16 scans. Approximately four minutes acquisition, 13.5 mg in 0.5 mL DMSO-d6 = -3 enabling structural elucidation. approximately 100 mmol dm concentration. † The Guardian / Melissa Davey. 2016.
