    What is unique about UNSW Medicine?

    The graduate medicine program at Usyd only started in 1997, the new med course at UNSW started in 2003. Both unis are struggling, in addition, to meet increased quotas of students per cohort that have been enforced by the government recently - there is an article on this in today's SMH.

    What is unique about UNSW Medicine

    I think he was referring to the fact that this same message was posted in the UNSW Medicine subforum.

    What is unique about UNSW Medicine?

    oh no, not this "best uni for med" discussion again. All Aussie med courses are decent. UNSW's med course is still ironing out issues its got, being a new course and all, and usyd isnt that much older though it has had a couple of sets of graduates, which the new unsw med program hasn't yet had...

    what are fre radicals?

    a free radical can be uncharged or charged - it doesn't really matter. The point is that free radicals are species that have at least one unpaired electron. As for that atom being left over, you may be wrong, you may be right...depends. Main ones you're likely to come across: polyethylene...

    catalysts - surface area

    That specifically applies to the zeolite family of catalysts which incorporate specially designed pores and channels to fit molecules into them, thereby facilitating bonds to be broken. Generally, however, the active site of catalysts may be thought of as being on the surface of the catalyst...

    Biopolymers ???

    the change should first be made in the syllabus and these bos forums should then change accordingly.

    Scholarships

    oh, so these invitations mean extra scholarships, or is that only in some cases? I got a UAI scholarship and a med faculty scholarship which meant that I wasn't eligible for the science one I'd already received...I have a feeling that the outstanding achievement UAI scholarship is administered...

    chemists

    i reckon you could get away without knowing the name of the scientist. As long as you identify a branch of chemistry (eg polymer chemistry/ organic chemistry etc) and a type of chemist who works in these fields, in addition to what their occupation generally involves (talking about...

    Biopolymers ???

    why would you bother doing PLA if you haven't researched any biopolymers when there's so much info (especially in this thread) on PHB? These forums should really become more centred on critical thinking as opposed to simply spoon-feeding dot-points to those who haven't been bothered to do any work.

    Easy to understand text books?

    hard 4u booklet?? I do remember the circular motion hand-out though. That was prepared for a talk at some institution wasn't it? I don't get the impression that he's terribly willing to go through the whole publishing process again. In any case, Coroneos isn't too bad a text-book if you forget...

    Question for Med students...

    One point of view is that the HSC tends to reward those people who work hard and work consistently throughout the HSC year and also in general through the preliminary years. Thus it is assumed that, given all other qualities are equal for 2 people with different UAI's, the one with the higher...

    Easy to understand text books?

    Pender did say he was working on one didn't he? Whatever it is, he should definitely write a text-book of the calibur of the 3unit/2unit series. That would solve the drought of decent 4u text-books in any case.

    catalysts - surface area

    Catalysts work by reacting in some way with the reagents present - catalyts, while they undergo reactions (generally involving weak partial bond formation with the substrates of the reaction) will tend to react in such a way, following this catalytic reaction, so as to revert back to their...

    Ethanol as a Solvent

    Draw the hydrogen bonding intermolecular forces/dipoles between neighbouring ethanol molecules. There's no simple and effective way to draw Van Der Waals' dispersion forces, however.

    oxidation numbers problem

    Oxygen can also be in the 1- state in peroxides, and in the "-1/2" state in superoxides which mainly occurs for potassium and rubidium I think. And hydrogen can be in the 1- state in hydrides. Those are the major exceptions to the rules. The existence of the two states for Bismuth, and group...
