Dr. Rajiv Ramnath, Program Officer for the NSF Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) and Professor of Practice in Computer Science and Engineering at Ohio State University, will be visiting RENCI on Monday, June 25th to provide a discussion-based talk from 9-10am. Abstract After I re-entered academia in 2002 after 11 years in the computing industry, I spent the last 16 years working with local industry in Central Ohio on education, training, project and research initiatives. This talk is intended to…

Invited Speaker Prof. Dan Schrider Description Genome sequence data can be used to answer a host of questions about evolutionary history. To what extent is genetic variation shaped by natural selection and recombination? Has a population experienced substantial changes in size? To what extent has there been gene flow between populations? In recent decades theoretical and methodological advances in population genetics have sought to address each of these questions. In this talk I will describe my efforts adapting supervised machine…

Python 2 will no longer be supported past 2020, yet many organizations still haven't made the switch to Python 3. This talk by Philip Semanchuk is for anyone facing a 2-to-3 migration that they'd like to feel more confident about. Attendees will leave with the outline of a migration plan, some suggested focus areas, a knowledge of helpful tools, and links to resources they can use after the talk. Philip Semanchuk is a freelancer with over 25 years of experience,…

Abstract The gut microbiota is a mediator of pathogen colonization and persistence in the host. Alterations in the abundance of healthy gut flora affect pathogen colonization and pathogen-associated immune responses. Campylobacter jejuni, a leading cause of bacterial diarrheal illness and acute peripheral neuropathy, stimulates more severe inflammatory responses in murine models with antibiotic depleted or humanized microbiota compared to those with normal murine microbiota. Furthering of our understanding of the microbiotas role in disease is dependent upon a combination of…

NSF Cloud Chameleon Chameleon is a large-scale testbed, funded by the NSF, that provides a platform for the computer science research community to explore transformative concepts in deeply programmable cloud services. Chameleon will allow users to explore problems ranging from the creation of Software as a Service to kernel support for virtualization. This broad range of supported research includes many other areas such as developing Platforms as a Service, creating new and optimizing existing Infrastructure as a Service components, investigating…
