Dr Nathalie Bock
No full text<p>Dr Bock did her PhD in Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics at the Queensland University of Technology. She joined the Australian Prostate Cancer Research Center-QLD in 2014 as a postdoctoral researcher, with a desire to apply her tissue engineering knowledge into cancer research. She has since developed bioengineered models that replicate the tumour microenvironment of advanced prostate cancer found in the bones, in an all-human laboratory setting.</p>
<p>Dr Bock is studying how current and novel therapies affect the tumours in the bones, in order to address the poor prognosis of men with this condition. She is also increasing the complexity of her models by adding more cellular components from the native bone microenvironment. Ultimately, Dr Bock hopes to engineer a representative humanised platform useful for studying all cancers that disseminate to the bones, providing clinicians with a versatile pre-clinical platform to test new drugs.</p>
Horse Show Fountain
No full textSide view, from northwest; "The Wright-Bock Fountain was originally built by the Oak Park Horse Show Association in 1909 and located on the curb of Lake Street, 100 feet (30.48 m) from its present location. The fountain was built to serve not only people but horses and dogs as well. The fountain's design is generally believed to be a product of sculptor Richard Bock but the actual attribution is a bit fuzzy. Donald P. Hallmark, a Bock historian, stated the fountain was designed by Bock between 1907 and 1908 but with the help of famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Bock did much of Wright's architectural sculpture and worked, for a time, in Wright's studio in Oak Park as well. It was Bock himself who suggested that it was Wright who pushed for the central opening in the fountain, and thus he "began to lay claim to the whole project." The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation claims the work as a Wright design from 1903. The Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust lists Wright as the architect and Bock as the sculptor. In 1969 the badly deteriorated original fountain was reconstructed and the replica placed in Scoville Park at the corner of Oak Park Drive and Lake Street in Oak Park. Its new location was an area paved with brick and flanked by concrete benches. During the reconstruction the original materials that comprised the fountain were replaced in their entirety. The poured concrete elements of the fountain were replaced with a concrete that had a rough aggregate finish. The reconstruction work was overseen by the Oak Park Beautification Commission. John Michiels, an architect with Perkins and Will, designed the reconstruction while local sculptor Gerald Jaquard replicated Bock's relief work. Alterations on the original design included lining the planters with zinc and the installation of the recessed lights. During the reconstruction, the original inscription (from the original fountain on the facade that now bears the reconstruction-dedication panel) was lost to history. The fountain's rectangular, concrete slab construction has a strong horizontal emphasis. Two vertical slabs act as posts that support a rectangular lintel above, which extends beyond the edges of the posts. The lintel itself acts as a planter. At the base of the fountain a concrete wall extends between the vertical posts. Above the wall is another horizontal slab which acts as the fountain and features the same design as the upper horizontal slab. To either side of the fountain, at its base, are two concrete pools which have since been converted into flower beds. The center opening, above the fountain, is adorned with cast concrete panels which contain Bock sculpture and dedications. Ornamentation of the concrete slabs is rather limited and exists only in incised triangles and slanted rectangles at the rear and front of the lintel, and incised pyramids at the front and rear of the fountain tray. Above the fountain, are inscriptions and detailed ornamentation. The inscriptions are located on concrete panels above the fountain tray, one reads "Erected in 1909 Oak Park Horse Show Association" and the other reads "Wright-Bock Plaza Fountain restored 1969." The Horse Show Association inscription is on a sculpted plaque held by two kneeling female forms, below the plaque is a tree trunk and above it the tree's leaves. Beneath the dedication panels are recessed lights which illuminate the fountain tray and cast tablets on the inner portion of the vertical posts."

Autozooids almost vertical, ori ces occupying the major part of the frontal shield. Frontal shield imperforate except for a single series of marginal or submarginal pores, most of which appear to be frontal septular pores. Primary ori ce large, subterminal, with paired lateral denticles, and a narrow, hammer-shaped lyrula, which together de ne a pair of proximal sinuses. Five to six oral spines, proximal mucro small, with a terminal avicularium with a subtriangular rostrum, orientated proximally and frontally, and a complete bar. Paired disto-lateral avicularia on swollen subrostral chambers, orientated laterally. Basal surface of each zooid separated by a groove from its neighbours, with a curved lamina raised above its proximal end. Each wall with a crescent or small group of three to ve septular pores arranged transversely in the mid-line. Ovicell not found.</p> <p> <i>Measurements</i></p> <p>Length of ancestrula 0.28 mm. Length of zooids 0.23–0.38 mm. Width of primary ori ce 0.17–0.19 mm.</p> <p> <i>Remarks</i></p> <p> Only one colony has been found. The ancestrula is sunken; its basal wall is missing. The primary ori ce is so large that the ancestrula almost appears to be tatiform. Although slightly damaged, the ori ce shows one lateral denticle, which resembles a condyle, and a proximal avicularian mucro, but no trace of oral spines. The ancestrula is surrounded by a distal triad of primary zooids, and a proximolateral pair budded later in astogeny, one of which has an ori ce occluded by calci cation, which includes the spine bases. The zooid ori ces are so large, and the frontal wall so restricted, that the network of pseudopores typical of other species of <i>Riscodopa</i> is absent. The marginal series appear to be all septular pores. The paired avicularia are not raised on columnar processes as in <i>R. biincisa.</i> The presence of an avicularium on the ancestrula is unusual but has been reported in other species (Hayward and Cook, 1979: 77). The basal septular pores diVer from those of <i>R. biincisa</i> in being more numerous and arranged in a crescent across the mid-line of the zooid. The curved proximal lamina is less robust, but similar to that occurring in some specimens of <i>R. biincisa.</i> It suggests that while the rest of the basal calci ed wall is an interior wall, the rhizoids of <i>R. biincisa</i> and <i>R. paucipora</i> may have had a swollen origin surrounded by a rim of exterior calci ed wall, which included several septular pores, like those of <i>Parastichopora</i> (Cook and Chimonides 1981a). The rhizoids of <i>R. parva</i>, <i>R. cotyla</i> and <i>R. hyalina</i> are numerous, but only one is produced by each septular pore.</p>Published as part of <i>Cook, P. L. & Bock, P.

Riscodopa hyalina Cook & Bock 2002, sp. nov.
No full textRiscodopa hyalina sp. nov. (gures 13, 14) HOLOTYPE. MOV F52874, SEAS (South Eastern Australian Slope, ‘ Franklin’ Cruise), Station SLOPE 2, oV Nowra, New South Wales, 34 ss 57.09 ¾ S, 151 ss 8.00 ¾ E, 503 m, 11 July 1986, epibenthic sled, bryozoa and shell bottom. PARATYPES. MOV F52875, SLOPE 2 as above, and MOV F52876, SLOPE 56, from 34 ss 55.79 ¾ S, 151 ss 08.06 ¾ E, 429 m to 34 ss 56.06 ¾ S, 151 ss 06.86 ¾ E, 466 m, 22 October 1988, epibenthic sled, muddy coarse shell bottom. Etymology From hyalinos (Greek)—glassy, referring to the semi-transparent calcication. Description Riscodopa with tatiform ancestrula with nine marginal spines. Colony fan-shaped at rst, becoming lunulitiform later in astogeny, ancestrula surrounded by a ring of six zooids. Autozooids small, semi-erect, very thinly calcied; frontal shield with 20–40 pseudopores and two to four frontal septular pores. Primary orice large, with paired proximo-lateral denticles, and a small, variably shaped lyrula, which may occasionally be absent. Four oral spines, the lateral pair with large spine bases; no proximal mucro. Paired latero-oral avicularia, with subtriangular mandibles orientated laterally. Ovicells present, or developing on zooids of the third to fourth astogenetic generation. Basal walls with a single, large, multiporous septular pore, placed just distally to the centre, giving rise to a rhizoid. Measurements Length of ancestrula 0.42 mm. Length of zooids 0.31–0.52 mm. Width of primary orice 0.16–0.18 mm. Remarks The specimens comprise four colonies, two of which are fractured and incomplete. They measure 1.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 5.0 mm in diameter, and include nine, 30, 30 and 31 zooids, respectively. Only one colony (MOV F52876) has a lunulitiform shape, and has the only complete ovicell present. This is prominent, longer than wide, with a straight proximal edge and nely tuberculate surface. The smallest colony, which has an ancestrula, has not yet developed a complete ring of primary zooids (gure 14). A single rhizoid appears to have been produced by one of the second generation zooids, but accumulations of particles make this diYcult to see clearly, and the colonies are so delicate that it is not possible to remove the cuticular parts without damaging the zooids. Numerous rhizoids, 1.0– 1.50 mm long, occur in the three larger colonies, each arising from one of the basal septular pores. The zooidal orices are the same size as those of R. parva, but appear proportionately larger because of the smaller extent of the frontal shield. Riscodopa hyalina lacks a proximal mucro, and the lateral denticles and lyrula are less strongly developed than in other species. The oral avicularia are also similar to those of R. parva, but are placed more proximally.Published as part of Cook, P. L. & Bock, P.
