Project Summary The Australian National University This project argues that people can acquire duties to compensate victims of injustice when they benefit from these injustices, even when they neither caused the injustices nor could have prevented them. We explore the implications of this argument for the treatment of colonised peoples, and for policies on climate change and international trade.

Using our algorithms, computers will be able to find objects and describe scenes in single images or large image collections such as online photo albums. DP110101415 Prof Dr Rainer Grun, Prof Matthew J Spriggs, Dr Richard A Armstrong, Dr Christophe Falgueres, Dr Bruno Maureille Approved Project Title Understanding the migrations of prehistoric populations through direct dating and isotopic tracking of their mobility patterns 2011 $100,000.00 2012 $130,000.00 2013 $230,000.00 Primary FoR 2101 ARCHAEOLOGY Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University This project will use newly developed isotopic methods for the systematic analysis of prehistoric human remains. The assessment of their age and origins will give new insights in the timing of human evolution and the mobility of prehistoric humans in Central Europe and the Pacific. DP110102156 Prof Adrienne R Hardham Approved Project Title Transcriptome profiling of Phytophthora pathogenicity genes: regulation of cell wall degrading enzyme synthesis during plant infection 2011 $125,000.00 2012 $125,000.00 2013 $125,000.00 Primary FoR 0607 PLANT BIOLOGY Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University This project will catalogue the repertoire of enzymes produced by plant pathogens to break down plant cell walls during initial penetration and later establishment of disease. This project will determine how production of these enzymes is regulated and how their function is optimised to achieve successful plant infection.

The relationship between social networks, cultural identity and linguistic variation will be explored.

Metal catalysts significantly reduce the environmental impact of both the associated energy requirements and waste products. New classes of catalysts will be developed based on the unconventional elements boron and silicon.

The results will guide theoretical model developments to enhance understanding, and predict optimal opportunities to form new elements and isotopes with future rare isotope accelerators. DP110102881 Dr Matthew J Hole, Prof Robert L Dewar, Prof Richard O Dendy, Dr Stuart R Hudson, A/Prof Boyd D Blackwell, Dr Dominique F Escande Approved Project Title Emergence and control of self organisation in fusion plasmas: through the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and beyond 2011 $85,000.00 2012 $85,000.00 2013 $85,000.00 Primary FoR 0202 ATOMIC, MOLECULAR, NUCLEAR, PARTICLE AND PLASMA PHYSICS Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University Fusion is a carbon free technology, which promises millions of years of base load power. The promise has led to massive support for the proof of principle experiment, ITER. A challenge facing ITER is minimising edge instabilities, which can destroy the plasma facing wall. The project will explore if a new model can describe and control these instabilities.
