The European DataGrid (EDG)[17] project aims to provide a platform to satisfy the ever-growing demand of high computation and storage requirements across scientific disciplines. Its resource broker is the gateway to a managed set of compute elements for handling the job submission and accounting. In this paper, we present an infrastructure layering on top of the resource brokers for load-balanc...

The DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) (http//:www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp) has developed a software system for mass submissions to cope with a recent expansion of EST and genome data submissions. The system is composed of four parts, the WWW data submission, large-scale submission, submission management and storing. Using this system one can submit data on a large number of sequences or a very long sequence...

Existing Distributed Resource Managers (DRMs) lack support for a standard submission language and interoperable interface for describing and launching jobs. This paper presents a standards-based job submission system, GridSAM, which utilises Web Services and the Job Submission Description Language (JSDL). GridSAM provides a transparent and efficient bridge between users and existing DRM systems...

Women are bombarded with images of women's sexual submission and subservience to male partners. The authors argue that women internalize this submissive role, namely, they associate sex implicitly with submission. The authors propose that this association leads to submissive sexual behavior, thereby reducing sexual autonomy and arousal. Study 1 found that women implicitly associated sex with su...

Introduction: Analysis of DTI data using voxel-based analysis (VBA) is attractive because it can evaluate all regions of the brain without prior hypotheses about specific regions-of-interest or tedious region-drawing by hand. However, limitations of VBA include misregistration, blurring, and limited statistical power from multiple comparisons. A minor adaptation of VBA called tissue-specific, s...

Interlacing causes complications in many image processing tasks. Theoretically, interlacing can be perfectly undone, but there remain a few difficulties in de-interlacing. Aliasing is an inherent artifact due to the interlaced sampling of video data. Interlacing also causes the loss of vertical resolution in the video. Motion in the video scenes need to be modelled accurately for the removal of...

DCI’s research abilities are highlighted by its extensive utility consulting experience, senior consultant qualifications, extensive database of utility best practices, analytical methodologies in support of strategic decision making, and support of utility companies through direct testimony in public utility service commission hearings. DCI’s consultants all have advanced degrees and include a...

Beneath 5,000 meters of water midway between Hawaii and California, the Hawaii-2 Observatory (H2O) rests on the seafloor (Figure1). The dream of a deepocean scientific observatory is a reality. Telemetry and power comes via a retired telephone cable—Hawaii-2—donated by AT&T to the IRIS Consortium for the benefit of the scientific community. H2O is the first Global Seismographic Network (GSN) st...

We are resubmitting as an attachment a white paper requesting an 8-fold coverage draft genome sequence for the opisthobranch mollusc, Aplysia californica. As described in the proposal, Aplysia is a major model organism for studies in cellular, molecular and behavioral neuroscience, integrative physiology and system biology. It is also ideally placed taxonomically to serve as an important organi...
