BACKFILLING A CLOUD WITH GRID JOBS

Backfilling a cloud with grid jobs

Imperial College London hosts a large Tier-2 Telephone Connectors WLCG grid site based around a HTCondor batch system; additionally it provides cloud computing facilities using OpenStack to non-WLCG activities.These cloud resources are open to opportunistic usage provided the impact on the primary cloud users remains low.In common with most Tier-2

Keeping Our Heads above Water: An Exploratory Study on the Equity Opportunities of Coastal Virginia Wireless Emergency Alerts

Economically disadvantaged coastal communities face severe damage and casualties, which can be attributed to storm surges.Excessive amounts of inundation should be considered to a similar level to wind speeds and heavy rains that communities commonly prepare for amidst a hurricane event.Marginalized residents, such as residents of color, disabled r

Genome analysis of cytochrome P450s and their expression profiles in insecticide resistant mosquitoes, Culex quinquefasciatus.

Here we report a study of the 204 P450 genes in the whole genome sequence of larvae and adult Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes.The expression profiles of the P450 genes were compared for susceptible (S-Lab) and resistant mosquito populations, two different field populations of mosquitoes (HAmCq and MAmCq), and field parental mosquitoes (HAmCq(G0)

Reconciliation and evolution of Penicillium rubens genome-scale metabolic networks-What about specialised metabolism?

In recent years, genome sequencing of filamentous Donation fungi has revealed a high proportion of specialised metabolites with growing pharmaceutical interest.However, detecting such metabolites through in silico genome analysis does not necessarily guarantee their expression under laboratory conditions.However, one plausible strategy for enabling
