Examples of new Linkage Projects in 2012 - Victoria
Linkage Projects totalling $12 111 164 covering 48 projects
The University of Melbourne
Optimizing blood flow in stented arteries: a fluid mechanics approach incorporating optical coherence tomography (LP120100233)
Summary: Constriction in coronary arterial blood flow is a leading cause of death in Australia. Insertion of stents can rectify this problem but potentially lead to further complications. This project will use medical imaging data to construct computer models to study blood flow and particle motions in coronary arteries and improve stent designs.
Chief Investigator: Associate Professor Peter Barlis
ARC funding: $625 127
Deakin University
Flexible roll forming of advanced high strength steel sheet (LP120100111)
Summary: This project will develop light weight automotive components to assist fuel economy and crash worthiness through flexible roll forming. This process has the potential to form complex shapes from very high strength steels in a very cost effective and efficient small-scale operation highly suited to Australian manufacturing.
Chief Investigator: Professor Peter D Hodgson
ARC funding: $270 000
Monash University
Soft magnetic nanostructures for clean automotive technologies: origin of induced magnetic anisotropies (LP120100137)
Summary: This project will clarify the mechanism of annealing-induced magnetic anisotropies in magnetic nanostructures and thereby establish a basis for further alloy development of efficient core materials for electric motors. The project outcomes will potentially lead to a significant reduction of the heat loss in petrol-electric hybrid cars.
Chief Investigator: Associate Professor Kiyonori Suzuki
ARC funding: $224 602
Monash University
Exposure to alcohol advertising and sponsorship in Australian televised sport: association with explicit and implicit alcohol cognitions and drinking (LP120100689)
Summary: The project will examine whether alcohol advertising and sponsorship in televised sport is related to positive alcohol-related thoughts and alcohol consumption in young adults. The project will use novel methods that assess both conscious and unconscious alcohol-related attitudes, and will provide important evidence for informing alcohol policy.
Chief Investigator: Dr Kerry S O'Brien
ARC funding: $154 177
Swinburne University of Technology
Three dimensional nano-lithography: combined electron and ion beam fabrication
(LP120100161)
Summary: By adding one more dimension to a planar (hence two dimensional - 2D) lithography, it will become possible to structure and texture materials in three dimensions (3D) by combining electron beam lithography (2D) and ion beam milling (3D) with the highest precision of several nanometres. This will open new applications in photonics and sensing.
Chief Investigator: Professor Saulius Juodkazis
ARC funding: $90 453
