Scientific problems that depend on processing large amounts of data require overcoming challenges in multiple areas: managing large-scale data distribution, controlling co-placement and scheduling of data with compute resources, and storing, transferring, and managing large volumes of data. Although there exist multiple approaches to addressing each of these challenges and the complexity of dis...

Creativity can be understood in analogous ways across both arts and sciences. A central component of artistic creativity is the ability to generate many different expressions. Scientific creativity involves the ability to generate various novel solutions to problems. This means a possible way to augment creativity in both arts and science is to seek to increase our ability to generate many expr...

MESSAGES ON STUDENT KNOWLEDGE, MOTIVATION AND BEHAVIOR: RESULTS FROM THE TEAM NUTRITION PILOT STUDY. R. Craig Lefebvre, Carol Olander & Elyse Levine Presented at the Innovations in Social Marketing Conference, Montreal, Canada, 1999. Reprinted in Proceedings of the Conference as: Lefebvre, RC, Olander C, Levine E. The impact of multiple channel delivery of nutrition messages on student knowledg...

This paper presents the design of a solar tracking system driven by a mnicrochip PIC 18F452 micro controller. The system is based on two mechanisms. The first one is the search mechanism (PILOT) which locates the position of the sun. The second mechanism(intelligent PANELS) aligns itself with the PILOT only if maximum energy possible could be extracted. On top of that the main advantage of the ...

Pilot projects appear in many forms in policy making and management. In an effort to understand the nature and use of pilot projects and improve their effectiveness, we undertake a practicebased and theoretical study of the pilot project phenomenon. First, we examine the roles assigned to pilot projects in the policy development literature and explore their use in a Dutch water innovation platf...

When writing can change your life, when writing can enrich you by offering much money, why don't you try it? Are you still very confused of where getting the ideas? Do you still have no idea with what you are going to write? Now, you will need reading. A good writer is a good reader at once. You can define how you write depending on what books to read. This have we made progress the clinical pl...

STOCK DEFINITION AND GEOGRAPHIC RANGE There are two species of pilot whales in the Western Atlantic — the Atlantic or long-finned pilot whale, Globicephala melas, and the short-finned pilot whale, G. macrorhynchus. These species are difficult to identify to the species level at sea; therefore, some of the descriptive material below refers to Globicephala spp., and is identified as such. The spe...
