Our advances will deliver the fundamental science that will enable the aluminium industry to consume substantial amounts of plastic waste, including plastics that are currently unsuitable for recycling.

The novel and recycled refractories developed will lead to reductions in waste generation through reduced wear, resulting in significant economic and environmental benefits.

 

To maintain the long-term viability of livestock production, producers and land managers need access to regular, timely and accurate estimates of pasture biomass.

Light-weight armour studies  

The objective of a new National Positioning Infrastructure (NPI) is to provide real-time, centimetre-level positioning services regardless of location.

This is a matched cohort study examining survival and prognostic factors after melanoma diagnosis in kidney transplant recipients. The study is a collaboration with ANZDATA, the University of Sydney, and St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne.

This project utilises health record linkage to quantify the risk of cancer in opioid dependent people registered for pharmacotherapy in NSW. We will examine the relationship between cancer risk and infection with the blood-borne viruses hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV.

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.
