The successful application of stem cell therapy to muscle disease requires both improved engraftment strategies and a better understanding of muscle stem cell recruitment mechanisms. This project aims to address both issues.

We propose the development of a comprehensive research framework for the next generation of home telecare technology. The framework will support the unattended recording of patient physiological data and allow patient management and information review by health professionals.

The principal goal in controlling rotary blood pumps used as ventricular assist devices in heart failure patients is to mimic the natural heart behaviour so that the body's metabolic requirements are met while avoiding harmful states associated with over and under pumping.

Non-commutative algebra is a rich, classical subject, ubiquitous in mathematics, since non-commutative algebras arise whenever you have linear operators such as differentiation or rotation.

The purpose of this project is to develop greater understanding of the effect of centre-near multifocal soft contact lens designs on visual function.

Significant transformations have been occurring in Australia’s social and affordable housing system over the last decade, including transfer of public housing stock to non-government associations, redevelopment of public housing estates and new programs to increase the supply of affordable hou

The proposed project aims to develop multi-scale (from molecular, nano, to process scale) solution to reduce chloramine decay by integrating fundamental experimental science with advanced engineering.

This project will be the first major investigation of the poetics of the Fall in modernism. It will show how the need to conceive modern life as fallen, and the painful inability to offer salvation, determined the development of modernist poetry.

This project will classify new modes of omniscient narration; investigate how they have extended earlier postmodern experiments with novelistic form; and demonstrate how they manifest current anxieties about the cultural status of the novel in the new millenium.

This project researches the contribution of Australians to the development of media arts as a global contemporary art practice. By way of dynamic online resources, the project will critically evaluate the significant role Australia has played in the global development of media art.

Our aim is to mathematically model the impact a new cell-delivered anti-HIV gene therapy can have in suppressing HIV and in protecting the immune system from depletion. It is significant because for the first time

An in-depth atomic-level investigation will be carried out on the surface/sub-surface region of molten steel (Fe-C-S system; 1550-1650 C); key aspects of surface bonding network, atomic concentration profiles, the influence of surface-active elements, surface thermodynamics, pathways and mechanis

The central aim of this project is to improve understanding of how our society can financially support, care for and reproduce itself without creating or worsening social disadvantage.

This project investigates how early-life respiratory infection predisposes to a allergic Th2-biased immunological response, which is a prerequisite for the development of allergic asthma, and how airway inflammation is sustained as asthma develops and progresses.

Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are severe psychiatric conditions traditionally regarded as separate disease entities, although both are characterized by intermittent periods of disturbance in thought, motivation and aff

This project will develop the innovative science for recycling end-of-life industrial components as carbon resources for ferrous alloys.

This research investigates shared biological vulnerability for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in terms of genetic association with common neurocognitive dysfunction.

This project seeks to develop an integrated photocatalytic filtration unit for improving air quality in indoor environments, with an emphasis on aircraft cabins.

Australia?s mainland state capital cities have recently published metropolitan plans to guide their future direction and growth. Housing requirements remain couched in supply-side terms: as target numbers and expectations that the market will provide.

Social support of older people with disability in China has not been researched with social policy analysis. We apply a disability rights framework in four domains ? protection, economic security, social support and participation ?

Australia is ominously situated in a period of significant environmental change caused by continued warming of the Earth. Changing sea-levels and variation in national water storage present challenges that are at the forefront of Australian consciousness.
