The Australian Disaster Resilience Index is a snapshot of the capacities for disaster resilience in Australian communities. Understanding these capacities, and how they differ from place to place, will help communities, governments and industry work together to cope with and adapt to natural hazards such as bushfires, floods, storms and earthquakes. The dashboard (www.adri.bnhcrc.com.au) allows users to explore disaster resilience around Australia, and to uncover the different strengths and barriers to disaster resilience in different locations.

BREEDPLAN is a modern genetic evaluation system for beef cattle breeders. It is based in Australia, with clients worldwide. BREEDPLAN offers bull breeders the potential to accelerate genetic progress in their herds, and to provide objective information on stock they sell to commercial breeders.BREEDPLAN uses the world's most advanced genetic evaluation system (based on Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) technology) to produce Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of recorded cattle for a range of important production traits (eg. weight, carcase, fertility).Included in the calculation of EBVs are the animal's own performance, the performance of known relatives, the heritability of each trait and the relationship between the different traits ie. a world class genetic evaluation model, combining all traits in one analysis.All breeds of beef cattle in Australia use BREEDPLAN. For most, the BREEDPLAN genetic evaluation system has been integrated with the respective breed association's pedigree system. Substantial genetic improvement for traits of commercial importance have been demonstrated.

Presents a comprehensive, interactive course in Modern Standard Chinese language and culture for intermediate level learners. The core instructional material is on the Course CD-Rom. There is also an audio CD comprising a set of independent listening exercises and passages for comprehension related to the instructional material of the Bridges to China course. The video CD-ROM comprises a set of independent, short exercises in articulation and conversation related to the instructional material of the Bridges to China course.

A suite of in-browser simulations, models, exercises, and accompanying videos that teach digital electronics. This software is referenced in the ASCILITE 2020 paper "Revisiting the Intelligent Book: Towards Seamless Intelligent Content and Continuously Deployed Courses". Its design and construction revisited the "intelligent book" concept from earlier papers in the 2000s, applying a similar constraint propagator from Billingsley et al (2004) "Intelligent tutoring and supervised problem solving in the browser", but this time with the model compiled and deployed to a modern front-end framework to enable more fluid and responsive feedback between the user and the model.

'geomorph' is a freely available software package for geometric morphometric analyses of two- and three-dimensional landmark (shape) data in the R statistical computing environment. It can be installed from the Comprehensive R Archive Network, CRAN http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/geomorph/. Occasionally, we make updates between uploads to CRAN. Users can install via GitHub the current beta version from https://github.com/geomorphR/geomorph.

Marxan is software that delivers decision support for reserve system design. The basic idea behind a reserve design problem is that a conservation planner has a large number of potential sites (or planning units) from which to select new conservation areas. They may wish to devise a reserve system which is made up of a selection of these planning units which will solve a problem that includes several ecological, social and economic criteria and principles. Marxan is primarily intended to solve a particular class of reserve design problem known as the 'minimum set problem', where the goal is to achieve some minimum representation of biodiversity features for the smallest possible cost (McDonnell et al. 2002). The rationale is that cheaper or less socially disruptive reserve networks are more likely to be implemented. Furthermore, meeting a set of targets for all conservation features provides a solid platform for expanding a reserve system in the future; reserve systems biased to habitats of little commercial value are often hard to expand. In minimum set problems the elements of biodiversity that you wish to conserve are entered as constraints to solutions of the problem (Possingham et al 2000). Given reasonably comprehensive data on species, habitats and/or other relevant biodiversity features, Marxan aims to identify the reserve system (a combination of planning units) that will meet user-defined biodiversity targets for the minimum cost (Ball and Possingham 2000; Possingham et al 2000).

‘MASSTIMATE’ is an R software package that implements a variety of body mass estimation equations derived from linear models and, generally, used to estimate the body masses of fossil vertebrates. Estimation equations are from a variety of sources but are normally based on regressions between skeletal measurements (e.g., femoral circumference) and body mass in living taxa. The package is freely available on CRAN: https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=MASSTIMATE and is occasionally updated as new research and equations are presented.

PIGBLUP is a PC based genetic evaluation system for pigs, which analyses large data sets within minutes. PIGBLUP has a Windows-based interface enabling easy and efficient operation by PIGBLUP users. Breeders do not need to understand the statistical and genetic theory in order to use PIGBLUP.PIGBLUP uses pedigree and performance data available from your herd recording system to derive Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) for a number of performance and reproductive traits.The program displays genetic and environmental trends to monitor genetic progress and management decisions. It allows optimisation of selection for different markets and products through the $Index which combines EBVs into a single index using economic, production and marketing data.
