Dr Daniel Greenwood from QUT's Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation with support from the Queensland Academy of Sport Centre of Excellence for Applied Sport Science Research has studied the run-ups of elite
Dr Greenwood said this was a breakthrough finding and was being used to better train Queensland Academy of Sport athletes prior to competition.
and also Olympic long jump medalist Mitchel Watt and Olympic champion hurdler Sally Pearson since 2010 as well as a host of world junior track and field athletes Dr Greenwood said.
Dr Greenwood used specialised analysis methods to show when there was no vertical reference point in view athletes made about 80 per cent of their adjustments to running behaviour in the final stages of their run-up compared to just 40 per cent
Dr Greenwood said athletes were also being trained to embrace a changing environment where movement is part of the competition.

#Wildland fire modeling can lead to better predictionsif we can better understand scientifically how wildland fires behave we'll have a better chance to accurately predict the spatial and temporal evolution of high intensity wildfires says Dr. Shankar Mahalingam dean of the UAH College of Engineering
Dr. Mahalingam is studying how wildland fire propagates in an effort to be able to more accurately model such fires via physically based computational models.

students in the MAE department to do the kind of basic forest fire combustion research that can move our predictive ability from the experiential realm to scientific mathematical models and longer-range computational predictions.
In 1998 his previous fundamental work in turbulent combustion at the University of Colorado at Boulder led Dr. Mahalingam to do NSF-sponsored field research in Alaska comparing the properties of prescribed permafrost
The process begins with pyrolysis the thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperature Dr. Mahalingam says.

Dr. Mohiuddin's group and other investigators have developed techniques on two fronts to overcome some of the roadblocks that previously hindered successful xenotransplantation.
Dr. Mohiuddin explains that thrombomodulin expression helps avoid some of the microvascular clotting problems that were associated previously with organ transplantation.
Anti-CD40 monoclonal antibodies also allow for faster recovery says Dr. Mohiuddin. No complications including infections were seen in the longest-survival group.
This has potential for paving the way for the use of animal organs for transplantation into humans concludes Dr. Mohiuddin.

Already Dr. Schnell's group has developed the vaccine which showed good protection in nonhuman primates against the Zaire Ebola virus.

In order to address this issue Dr. Schnell is working with another company with a novel method of producing antibodies en masse.
Together with SAB Dr. Schnell is applying for a grant that would allow the team to vaccinate the cows with his vaccine in order to produce large quantities of antibodies specific for the three viral strains.
If money were no object we could have the first batch of serum ready for human testing in four to six months says Dr. Schnell.

Powdery mildew is a significant problem wherever barley is grown around the world says Dr Little. Growers with infected crops can expect up to 25%reductions in yield
Powdery mildew feeds on the living plant says Dr Little. The fungus spore lands on the leaf and sends out a tubelike structure
We can now use this knowledge find ways of increasing these polysaccharides in barley plants to produce more resistant lines available for growers says Dr Little.
