The Center for Surveillance Research (CSR), a National Science Foundation Industry/ University Cooperative Research Center, is a collaborative effort by academia, government and industry to conduct pre-competitive research and student training.
Supercomputing centers allow astronomers to create extremely sophisticated models that are not feasible to build on desktop systems. However, simulating the multitude of elements involved in these galactic processes remains an enormous challenge.
College geoscience students with mobility impairments soon will be able to explore a computer simulation of a large cave system to meet degree requirements of field-based learning experiences.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) attract great attention for their strong potential in applications involving aerospace/naval materials, nano-electrical products, optical devices, chemical sensors, catalyst supports, water/gas treatments, drug carriers and artificial tissues.
In the past decade, a series of useful molecular systems – known as phototriggers, photoswitches, photocaging groups or photoremovable protecting groups (PRPGs) – have been used in a wide variety of applications, playing a key role in the release of fragrances from household goods, as an aid in multi-step syntheses and in drug and gene delivery.
A group of enzymes implicated in a wide range of human diseases are important targets for anti-cancer therapies and the targets of a study by a molecular biologist to more fully understand the enzymes by helping to better define the group's family tree.
Prasad Calyam, Ph.D., a senior systems developer and engineer for the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) and Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet), is devising methods to improve the performance of next-generation computer networks.
School children learn that nearly three-quarters of the Earth’s surface is covered with water, in the form of oceans, ice, rivers and lakes. However, even our brightest scientists know little about the distribution of water beneath the planet’s surface or even how much total water the planet contains.
The Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) programming model has attracted considerable attention in HPC circles, primarily because it offers application programmers the convenience of globally addressable memory along with the locality control needed for scalability.
The highly ambiguous nature of natural language presents many challenges to researchers who design software to analyze, understand and generate languages that humans use naturally.
