Examples of new Linkage Projects in 2012 - New South Wales
Linkage Projects totalling $10 883 213 covering 36 projects
The University of Sydney
Seismic behaviour of drive-in steel storage racks (LP120100458)
Summary: The purpose of this project is to study the behaviour, analysis and design of drive-in steel storage racks in an earthquake event. The main research outcome is the development of scientifically-based guidelines for the safe design of drive-in racks in seismic regions.
Chief Investigator: Professor Kim J Rasmussen
ARC funding: $202 489
The University of New South Wales
The design of new die-castable bulk metallic glasses exhibiting superior mechanical performance (LP120100004)
Summary: The most dramatic illustration of non-equilibrium processing of a metal is the formation of an amorphous solid that can possess physical and/or functional properties superior to its equilibrium crystalline counterpart. This project will generate new types of net-shape-processed amorphous alloys with an excellent combination of properties.
Chief Investigator: Professor Michael Ferry
ARC funding: $122 000
The University of Newcastle
Improving cancer treatment systems: a randomised controlled trial of a consumer action model for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy (LP120100618)
Summary: The project aims to assess the effectiveness of a model for improving cancer treatment systems which emphasises meaningful engagement of cancer consumers in identifying, implementing and evaluating strategies of change. System changes are expected to reduce patients' unmet supportive care needs and improve overall quality of life.
Chief Investigator: Professor Robert Sanson-Fisher
ARC funding: $249 408
The University of New South Wales
The application and consequences of e-governance for India's fight against urban poverty (LP120100108)
Summary: This project studies the deployment of biometric registration and social data bases for the delivery of welfare in India. It examines how social processes, local cultures and survival strategies shape these initiatives. What can be learned from the implementation phase of these path-finding social security schemes in third world conditions?
Chief Investigator: Associate Professor Ursula Rao
ARC funding: $90 000
Southern Cross University
Unravelling the rhizosphere redox-cycling of iron, sulphur and carbon in re-flooded acidic wetlands (LP120100238)
Summary: This project will reveal how major re-flooding will influence the cycling of iron, sulphur and carbon in re-flooded acidic, freshwater wetlands. By resolving current biogeochemical uncertainties, this project will generate the necessary knowledge platform to underpin wise long-term management of these sensitive and unique landscapes.
Chief Investigator: Dr Scott Johnston
ARC funding: $250 000
