Summary
Advanced Driving Simulator for Injury Prevention Research. Tragically road crashes are still the major cause of traumatic death and injury in Australia with an economic and social burden estimated at over $17 billion per year. This internationally recognised research team proposes to use a world leading advanced driving simulator for experimental studies to reduce the carnage and loss on Australian roads. It is vital that Australian researchers are granted access to the highest possible standa ....Advanced Driving Simulator for Injury Prevention Research. Tragically road crashes are still the major cause of traumatic death and injury in Australia with an economic and social burden estimated at over $17 billion per year. This internationally recognised research team proposes to use a world leading advanced driving simulator for experimental studies to reduce the carnage and loss on Australian roads. It is vital that Australian researchers are granted access to the highest possible standard of driving simulator technology to facilitate state-of-the-art research that could not otherwise be undertaken on open road settings due to ethical and safety reasons and cost limitations. This advanced driving simulator will support regulations regarding automotive safety.Read moreRead less

Improved patient care and image resolution in magnetic resonance imaging. A better understanding of the vibration within MRIs would result in techniques to both improve the image resolution and lower the noise emissions. Direct improvement of health care for Australians will result. Both the patient and the working environment around these scanners will improve as well as image resolution. Presently imaging is possible at the cellular scale, but only through improved MRI stability will imaging r ....Improved patient care and image resolution in magnetic resonance imaging. A better understanding of the vibration within MRIs would result in techniques to both improve the image resolution and lower the noise emissions. Direct improvement of health care for Australians will result. Both the patient and the working environment around these scanners will improve as well as image resolution. Presently imaging is possible at the cellular scale, but only through improved MRI stability will imaging reach the molecular level. Medical research that is linked to MRI imaging can be expected to advance in step with improved image resolution. The resulting knowledge could also be used in other research and industrial areas, including micro- and nano-scale devices, where vibration is a critical performance limiting factor.Read moreRead less
