DP110103322 Dr John P Rathjen Approved Project Title Molecular characterisation of the Prf bacterial recognition complex of tomato 2011 $145,000.00 2012 $140,000.00 2013 $140,000.00 Primary FoR 0601 BIOCHEMISTRY AND CELL BIOLOGY Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University This project will investigate the composition and function of a large protein complex in tomatoes that controls their ability to resist attack by bacteria. The results will provide understanding to how all plants resist all diseases, and may help to improve environmentally benign disease resistance in crop species. DP110105419 Prof Andrew P Roberts, Prof Patrick De Deckker, Dr Marc D Norman, Dr Paul Hesse Approved Project Title Australian dust: its response to, and role in, climate change 2011 $180,000.00 2012 $180,000.00 2013 $180,000.00 Primary FoR 0402 GEOCHEMISTRY Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University Atmospheric dust plumes can affect global climate, but the impact of Australian dust on climate is poorly known even though it is a major dust source. This project will study the magnetism of dust deposits in marine sediments to understand how Australian dust influences climate in order to better predict the influence of humans on future climate. DP110100975 Prof Andrei V Rode, Prof Wieslaw Z Krolikowski, Prof Miles J Padgett Approved Project Title Nanometrology of laser trapped airborne particles 2011 $170,000.00 2012 $170,000.00 2013 $170,000.00 Primary FoR 1007 NANOTECHNOLOGY Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University This project aims to develop a new concept of touch free measuring of physical characteristics of nanoparticles using specially designed optical vortex beams. The new concept will be of direct importance in developing new nanotechnologies demanding ever increasing purity of every element in the industrial environment and production processes.

This research will trace the mobility of fluids and their interaction with minerals using microanalysis of oxygen isotopes and radioactive elements. Understanding fluids is fundamental to understanding metamorphism and the formation of ore deposits. DP110102098 Prof Malcolm Sambridge, Prof Brian L Kennett Approved Project Title Taming the nonlinearity of geophysical inversions 2011 $115,000.00 2012 $120,000.00 2013 $130,000.00 2014 $33,000.00 Primary FoR 0404 GEOPHYSICS Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University This project will develop new ways to extract information from complex geophysical data sets used to construct images of the Earth's interior. Applications will be important to indirect imaging problems in the physical and engineering sciences and particularly to the discovery of resources within the Earth upon which Australian society is dependent. DP110103805 Dr Iain R Searle, Prof David J Tremethick, Dr Christopher A Helliwell Approved Project Title Identifying components of a novel imprinting mechanism that regulates seed size in plants 2011 $80,000.00 2012 $65,000.00 2013 $65,000.00 Primary FoR 0607 PLANT BIOLOGY Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University Australia is a major exporter of agricultural food crops thus producers must maintain their competitive advantage in order to compete on the world stage. This project will study a fundamental biological process of seed development as seeds are a major food staple and an important export product for Australian farmers.

STRUCTURAL) Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University It is in the last few nanometres above a surface that many real world effects originate. Using a fine stylus and the momentum from a laser beam, the project will nano mechanically perturb molecules to reveal forces on a sub molecular scale. Gaining control at this scale is central to developing an understanding of many natural and industrial processes. DP110101140 A/Prof Edith M Sevick Approved Project Title Optical tweezers as a micro rheological probe of soft surfaces 2011 $150,000.00 2012 $130,000.00 2013 $140,000.00 Primary FoR 0904 CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University Biomembranes are more than soft containers their dynamic flexibility plays an important role in cell function, but measurements of mechanical properties of soft surfaces are non existent. This project develops and applies a new optical tweezers method to measure the flexibility of membranes and its effects upon the friction of nearby particles. DP110101525 Prof Michael Shats, Dr Horst Punzmann, Prof Gregory Falkovich Approved Project Title Extreme wave events on the water surface 2011 $110,000.00 2012 $110,000.00 2013 $110,000.00 Primary FoR 0299 OTHER PHYSICAL SCIENCES Administering Organisation Project Summary The Australian National University Giant waves observed in the ocean present a catastrophic threat to ships and offshore structures. Rogue waves in optical fibres, on the other hand, may help developing powerful light sources for long distance telecommunications. This study of capillary rogue waves on the water surface will help to predict and control the probability of extreme waves.
