Funding Amount
$74,055.00
Summary
Growing neural tissue from stem cells on an electrically conductive surface can improve cell growth over the short term, yet the functionality of the cells has never been fully established. We will investigate the use of polymers for facilitation of neural tissue growth from stem cells, test the functionality of the tissue produced, and investigate the effectiveness of implantation of the developed tissue into primates to supplement or replace damaged tissue.
High Quality-of-Experience Real-time Video for Smart Online Shopping. This project aims to develop high quality-of-experience real-time video systems for smart shopping applications by devising new deep-neural-network-enhanced video delivery schemes. It will generate new knowledge of combined AI and network solutions to achieve high-quality and low-latency real-time video delivery, addressing unsatisfactory user experience intrinsically caused by network delay and bandwidth.

This project aims to develop high quality-of-experience real-time video systems for smart shopping applications by devising new deep-neural-network-enhanced video delivery schemes. It will generate new knowledge of combined AI and network solutions to achieve high-quality and low-latency real-time video delivery, addressing unsatisfactory user experience intrinsically caused by network delay and bandwidth. Fundamental principles and an all-in-one platform will be developed to address research problems and the industrial partner’s practical problems. It will significantly benefit all shopping businesses and their customers in Australia, as well as all other video-related services (e.g., online education, video conferencing, etc.).Read moreRead less
Intelligent Resource Allocation Techniques for Next Generation Wireless Mobile Communication Networks. The project will develop radio and network resource allocation techniques to maximise network utilisation and to offer guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia traffic in 3G/4G wireless mobile communication networks. In particular, this work will study the problem of radio channel allocation in wireless IP (Internet protocol) multimedia networks. The project will develop resource allo ....Intelligent Resource Allocation Techniques for Next Generation Wireless Mobile Communication Networks.

Modelling, Measurement and Control of the Internet. The demands made of modern high-speed data networks, such as those that make up the Internet, are increasing rapidly in terms of both the quantity and quality of service required.
So that these demands can be satisfied, it is necessary that network operators, or even the network itself, take measurements and make control decisions. Depending on the service, there is a need to do this over very short timescales (fractions of a second), or lon ....Modelling, Measurement and Control of the Internet. The demands made of modern high-speed data networks, such as those that make up the Internet, are increasing rapidly in terms of both the quantity and quality of service required.
So that these demands can be satisfied, it is necessary that network operators, or even the network itself, take measurements and make control decisions. Depending on the service, there is a need to do this over very short timescales (fractions of a second), or longer
timescales (minutes or even weeks).
By developing innovative mathematical models of network behaviour,
this project will deliver improved methods for measurement and
control of the Internet.Read moreRead less
Novel Architecture for Next Generation Wireless Relay Networks. The proposed project will provide a diverse range of benefits for the nation, by providing future solutions to address a number of key telecommunication networking requirements in Australia. One such area is the provision of broadband connectivity to rural and remote regions of Australia. It is well known, that wireless relay networks could potentially provide low-cost networking infrastructure for rural and remote communities.

The proposed project will provide a diverse range of benefits for the nation, by providing future solutions to address a number of key telecommunication networking requirements in Australia. One such area is the provision of broadband connectivity to rural and remote regions of Australia. It is well known, that wireless relay networks could potentially provide low-cost networking infrastructure for rural and remote communities. The solutions developed in this project will enable a wider deployment of such networks, as they would increase the capacity of these networks both in terms of bandwidth and their coverage. This is of major benefit to Australia, due to our large desert land-mass and sparsely populated remote and rural communities.Read moreRead less

Funding Amount
$311,860.00
Summary
Cell transplantation is one of the most promising therapeutic strategies for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Cells are transplanted directly into the brain of the patient and can compensate for those lost to the disease. In this project we are identifying new genes that regulate the normal development of the transplanted cells in mice. We hope to use this knowledge to improve the reliability and effectiveness of the approach, bringing the therapy closer to the clinic.
