Much reusable software is available for solving routine mathematical and statistical problems. Unfortunately, locating this software is often quite diicult in current distributed computing environments. The Guide to Available Mathematical Software (GAMS) virtual software repository seeks to remedy this by providing users with convenient access to thousands of software modules physically distrib...

In many cases new technologies are driven by the development of novel materials providing properties or combinations of properties that were not available before. The use of polymers and silicon-based semiconductor technologies are just two examples of how the availability of certain materials revolutionized existing technologies and products, giving rise to completely new technologies and havi...

New computing technologies have recently become available to search and rapidly analyse large numbers of DNA sequences for critical information. Two technologies are of particular interest, general high-throughput sequencing libraries available on Cray systems such as the Cray SV1 and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) available as addons to such systems as the Sun Fire 6800. We have applied...

The growth of new technologies in health care is exponential, and the impact of such rapid technological innovation on health care delivery is substantial. This review describes two emerging technologies-mobile applications and wearable technologies-and uses a virtual case report to illustrate the impact of currently available technologies on the health care experience of a patient with neurops...

yMGV (yeast Microarray Global Viewer) was designed to provide biologists with meaningful information from genome-wide yeast expression data. The database includes most of the available expression data published on yeast microarrays over the last 4 years. It provides customizable tools for the rapid visualization of expression profiles associated with a set of genes from all published experiment...
