Changing the Campus Environment

Networks for the Professional Campus Environment

This chapter describes the challenges of effectively utilizing distributed resources in a new Professional Campus Environment. In this environment, the synthesis and manipulation of multimedia data from physically distinct locations is a critical activity which requires development of advanced network technology. Such a network will make use of fiber-optic interconnects, highthroughput, low-lat...

The Changing Information Environment

The Changing Private Practice Environment:

The physician private practice arena has evolved from the days of the single family practitioner delivering house calls to one where options such as an affiliation of independent practitioners to purchase supplies or the integration of multi-specialty medical groups and hospitals into regional health systems are available. The transition to these sophisticated systems for the delivery of medica...

Air Quality Forecasting on Campus Grid Environment

Air Quality Forecasting (AQF) is a new discipline that attempts to reliably predict atmospheric pollution. The application has complex workflow and in order to produce timely and reliable forecast results daily, each execution requires multiple computational and storage resources to be simultaneously and collaboratively available. Deploying AQF on grid is one option to satisfy such needs, but r...

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
