Summary
Workplace-related mental health claims (MHCs) are an increasing reason for obtaining injury compensation in Australia. The aim of this study is to examine at a national level the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of GPs, workers’ compensation agents and mental health claimants in relation to MHC management. The outcomes from this study include a theoretically-informed and feasible intervention design that should improve the management of MHCs and increase rates of return to work.
Understanding the Drafting-against-Untwisting Process for Engineering Fine and Soft Yarns of Low Hairiness. This research will lead to much improved understanding of a very novel yarn engineering process to achieve fine, soft and low-hairiness yarns from natural fibres. It will demonstrate that Australia not only provides quality wool and cotton fibres, but also leads the world in innovative textile engineering technologies that can enhance the competitive positions of its natural fibres in the ....Understanding the Drafting-against-Untwisting Process for Engineering Fine and Soft Yarns of Low Hairiness. This research will lead to much improved understanding of a very novel yarn engineering process to achieve fine, soft and low-hairiness yarns from natural fibres. It will demonstrate that Australia not only provides quality wool and cotton fibres, but also leads the world in innovative textile engineering technologies that can enhance the competitive positions of its natural fibres in the global fibre market. This research promotes value adding in Australian fibre products by developing advanced yarn engineering technology, which will be of significant national benefit to the multi-billion natural fibre industries in Australia.Read moreRead less
The characterization and pocessing of Australian grown hemp fibres. This project will, for the first time, systematically examine the characteristics and processing behaviour of Australian grown hemp fibres. The hemp industry is an emerging new industry in rural Australia. This research will tackle a number of complex problems concerning characterization, degumming, and processing of Australian grown hemp, and will engineer the finest and softest yarns as well as industrial products from this he ....The characterization and pocessing of Australian grown hemp fibres. This project will, for the first time, systematically examine the characteristics and processing behaviour of Australian grown hemp fibres. The hemp industry is an emerging new industry in rural Australia. This research will tackle a number of complex problems concerning characterization, degumming, and processing of Australian grown hemp, and will engineer the finest and softest yarns as well as industrial products from this hemp. This will position the local hemp industry as well fibre processing industry in a very strong position to meet the growing demand world wide on this "green" fibre.Read moreRead less
