Scientific high-end computing (HEC) has become an important tool for scientists world-wide to understand problems, such as in nuclear fusion, human genomics and nanotechnology. Every year, new HEC systems emerge on the market with better performance and higher scale. With only very few exceptions, the overall availability of recently installed systems has been lower in comparison to the same de...

Human-elephant conflict (HEC) threatens the survival of endangered Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). Translocating "problem-elephants" is an important HEC mitigation and elephant conservation strategy across elephant range, with hundreds translocated annually. In the first comprehensive assessment of elephant translocation, we monitored 16 translocations in Sri Lanka with GPS collars. All tran...

This paper presents a modeling application of surface runoff using the Hydrologic Modelling System (HEC-HMS). A case study was carried out for the Jianghe watershed, a typical semi-arid and sub-humid geo-climatic region in northern China. Two modeling schemes using different descriptive sub-mechanism models provided by HEC-HMS for runoff volume, direct runoff and routing (channel flow) were inv...

The present study was undertaken to determine whether endometrial cancer cell line HEC-1-A differ from nontransformed cells, in that the cAMP and protein kinase C pathways may enhance IGF-I effects in mitogenesis by acting at the G1 phase of the cell cycle instead of G0. Immunofluorescence staining of HEC-1-A cells using the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) monoclonal antibody and flow...

Escalation of human-elephant conflict (HEC) in India threatens its Asian elephant ( Elephas maximus ) population and victimizes local communities. supports 60% the total world. Understanding HEC spatial patterns will ensure targeted mitigation efforts efficient resource allocation to high-risk regions. This study deals with aspects Keonjhar forest division, where 345 people were killed 5,145 he...

Endometrial cancer cell lines are critical tools to investigate the molecular mechanism of tumorigenesis using the end point cell-based assay such as proliferation, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, anoikis or migration and invasion. The proper assay optimization and performance is essential for physiologically relevant results interpretation. In this study we use label-free real-time cell analysis plat...
