Potable source water frequently has a high organic matter (OM) content originating from decaying plants, soil and peat, bacterial activity, algal blooms and upstream treated effluent discharges.

The primary aim of this applied research project is to investigate the capacity of deaf people who use sign language to participate in the administration of justice by serving as jurors. Research of this kind has never previously been conducted in Australia or internationally.

Increasingly, interviewers rely on interpreters because they lack proficiency in the language spoken by the interviewee. Yet little is known about ways interpreters can affect the dynamics of the interview.

Brain function is a delicate balance of neuronal excitation and inhibition. The schematic diagram above illustrates inhbitory neuronal responses mediated via the neurotransmitter GABA, and how these are affected by the neuronal Cl- transporters KCC2 and NKCC1.

The Advanced Combustion Diagnostics group conducts in-depth research across thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, combustion, heat, and mass transfer.

This project will de

In the past decade, massive scale-up of insecticide-treated nets (ITN) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), together with the introduction of artemisinin-combination treatments, have led to substantial reductions in malaria prevalence and incidence in African highlands.

This study will determine whether mask use by people with influenza-like-illness (ILI) while at home protects other family members from respiratory infections.

The Australian Study of Health and Relationships (ASHR) is our most important study of sexual and reproductive health.

The aim of this project is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of an innovative clinical training tool designed to enhance General Practitioners' use of Hypertension guidelines. The tool is named the ‘Guideline Enhancement Tool’ (GET) and is designed to:

A team of researchers at the School of Public Health and Community Medicine together with the Ted Noffs Foundation and academics from the Centre for Social Research in Health and the School of Social Sciences have been awarded an Australian Research Council Linkage Grant, funded this year for thr

The pursuit of universal health care coverage needs to be informed by an understanding of how equitable the current health financing arrangements are. The financing mechanism is equitable if:

Springboard is a leaving care service funded by the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) ($16.9 million over four years: 2011/12 – 2014/15).

In Australia and among international researchers in smoking cessation, Robyn Richmond is among the very few who have been conducting research in general practice for almost four decades. Her work has resulted in significant changes in the practice of medicine where GPs now are trained in, and implement, smoking cessation interventions with their patients.

Follicular lymphoma is the second most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in adults. The environmental and genetic factors that influence the susceptibility of this cancer are not completely understood.

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a B-cell malignancy morphologically characterized by a monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow. The causes of MM are poorly understood and its prognosis is poor.

Glioma is the most common type of brain cancer. It is extremely aggressive and yet understudied. We are conducting a family case-control study of glioma in Australia.

Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is a diagnosis used to describe patients with metastatic cancer with no identifiable primary site of origin at the time of presentation. CUP is the fourth most common cause of cancer death in NSW, but little is known about its risk factors or management.

We are collaborating on a number of international pooled analyses being conducted under the auspices of the International Lymphoma Epidemiology Consortium (InterLymph).

We are estimating and comparing the population-level relevance of risk factors for cancer in Australia by applying our recently published PAF measure and program to data from established large-scale Australian cohort studies linked to national cancer and death registries (relative risk estimates)
