The Adoption of New Technological Arrays in the Production of Broadcast Television (ADAPT)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2018,

"Since 1960, the television industry has undergone successive waves of technological change. Both the methods of programme making and the programmes themselves have changed substantially. The current opening of TV’s vast archives to public and academic use has emphasised the need to explain old programming to new users. Why particular programmes are like they are is not obvious to the contemporary ...

Fundamental Physics at the Low Background Frontier (DARKFRONTIER)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

The nature of dark matter is one of the fundamental questions in physics today. Direct signals for dark matter have remained elusive, indicating that multi-tonne scale detectors are needed to measure large numbers of dark matter interactions, while current efforts are at the 100 kg scale. The foremost challenge is distinguishing dark matter signals from backgrounds, the most uncertain of which a ...

The plasticity of the self: experimenting with self-identity in the face of change (PLASTICSELF)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

"We normally entertain a fairly continuous and stable sense of personal identity, as we acknowledge that we are the same person, independently of what happens to us. The question of how our sense of self is maintained or changed across time is a key topic in psychology. Our self must possess sufficient plasticity, that is, adaptive processes of re-organization, to ensure assimilation of changes an ...

Observation of the Higgs production mode in the ttH channel at ATLAS (ATLASTTH)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Jan 14, 2016,

On the 4th of July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN independently announced the discovery of a “Higgs-like” particle. This remarkable discovery is of tremendous importance to our understanding of the Universe. The discovered particle cannot yet be confirmed as the Higgs boson because several of its properties must be measured and compared with the theoretical predictions.In the proposed ...

MAPK signalling network to adapt leaf growth to drought conditions (MAPKinDROUGHT)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

Drought stress signal is sensed either directly, e.g. in root cells, or indirectly through systemic spread of the signal by hormones and other messenger molecules, and the information is processed through complex signaling pathways to elicit growth adaptation responses. MAPK signalling pathways, a fundamental circuitry of stress signalling, constitute a hierarchical three-tiers system of protein k ...

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

"This project explores how indigeneity is expressed and understood in our complex, globalising world. It asks why indigeneity has accumulated immense symbolic and ideological capital in Western societies when indigenous cultures are among the most disenfranchised in modern times, often still struggling for social justice after centuries of colonisation. Specifically, I ask what indigeneity has com ...
