Everything , Drew fascinator 8ab2ffc6a1ee3141f1337e3fb0b7ce2d 2024-01-29T00:40:23Z A New Paradigm for the Solid State Synthesis of Layered Materials fascinator 90ca8f8fb664d0617958f1224d177693 2024-01-29T01:52:47Z Intermediate phase retention during the solid state synthesis of complex materials is a widespread problem that increases energy consumption, is detrimental to properties and has often proven intractable. We have developed a method for synthesising layered carbide ceramics by direct insertion of atoms into suitably engineered solid precursors, assisted by in situ neutron diffraction monitoring. This project will discover the underlying atom-scale mechanism and develop systematic crystallographic methods for engineering solid precursors in layered oxides, nitrides and additional carbides. It will enable the ready synthesis of a range of strategic materials of interest in manufacturing, conventional and renewable power generation.

A new kind of dynamics for psychology fascinator be5a74214983b9c32e3b13675b5178e4 2024-01-29T01:52:48Z To remain efficient in real-world decisions, people must dynamically monitor and adjust their cognitive processes. Previous research on human dynamics has focused on internal fluctuations, without regard to environmental causes. We aim for a new dynamic research paradigm for psychology, using standard paradigms in which task parameters are dynamically manipulated. Our direct induction of changes in cognitive processes allows for the study of cognitive dynamics and individual differences in cognitive dynamics. Our research also constructs a new type of experimental psychology paradigm: dynamic designs are common, and dynamic analyses are becoming common, but the two are never brought together, even though their combination is natural.

Modelling, analysing and optimizing complex behaviour is crucial for environment, process industry, biomedical, energy distribution, transportation and other applications. The Centre for Complex Dynamic Systems and Control will become an international authority in the analysis, design and optimization of complex dynamic systems, pursuing both outstanding fundamental and cutting edge applied research outcomes. These outcomes will be of specific benefit to partner organizations including minerals, process, metal forming, and automotive industries.

ARC Centre of Excellence in Biotechnology and Development fascinator d7eddcbaa6f8e464ec4a8d75cc2f79e7 2024-01-29T01:52:49Z The Centre will create a multidisciplinary research team focusing on the molecular mechanisms that drive the specification and differentiation of male germ cells. This research will improve our fundamental understanding of how complex regulatory networks control the expression of a complex phenotype, the spermatozoon. It will also create a platform of knowledge from which we can stimulate the growth of the Australian Biotechnology industry, the protection of the Australian Environment and the well-being of the Australian people. Key issues for this Centre include testicular cancer, male infertility, contraception, pest animal control, environmental impacts on human health and gene pharming.

Absolute identification and beyond: A comprehensive, integrated architecture for speeded choice fascinator c0afaa0816102743976ede8c55af151c 2024-01-29T01:52:48Z Absolute identification has fascinated researchers for over 50 years, because of the theoretically challenging and counter-intuitive phenomena that are regularly observed. Recent developments have stressed differences between relative (short-term) and absolute (long-term) processes. We have developed the first model integrating both approaches in a principled manner. Our work has suggested interesting avenues for further experimentation and theoretical development, which we explore here. We propose some experiments that test the model, and others that test general classes of models. We also propose extensions of theory and experiments into fields related to absolute identification (ie, categorisation, confidence, magnitude production).

Academies under Stress: the Reinvention and Survival of Platonist Schools, 360BC-AD565 fascinator 3e6c15d0158453d2cf860380984398a6 2024-01-29T01:52:47Z Researchers examine important turning points over Platonism's history, and identify factors that best equipped it to survive various social and intellectual challenges that it faced, both internal and external. This was antiquity's most enduring philosophy, taught at some location for nearly a millennium, sometimes offering the only available higher education in the Greek tradition. It survived through subtle changes in ideology and doctrine, choosing new allies, and adapting to students' needs. The project will produce history concentrating on challenges and responses, highlighting the versatility of a successful movement, and will examine the developing role of one Platonic dialogue as a basis for ideology.

Advancing spatial research by reconstructing Australia's economic geography fascinator c0be9eb9c4c5700cc255b1bfdbb4eafc 2024-01-29T01:52:49Z ABS Census data is disseminated according to an administratively-based geography which may not reflect economic behaviour (eg, local labour markets). Subsequent socio-economic analysis may then be misleading due to incorrect spatial aggregation. This Project creates a new spatial unit (Commuting Area) based on commuting patterns to address these issues and provides a robust geography to conduct spatial research on nationally significant socio-economic issues. The outcomes will include various (occupation-based) geographies, new maps (shape files), revised Census-based datasets and case study analysis of the evolving spatial imbalance between housing and jobs using the new geographies. The Project is highly relevant for regional policy.
