Unmatched 50 Years of Supercomputing

Unmatched 50 Years of Supercomputing

Unmatched: 50 Years of Supercomputing: A Personal Journey Accompanying the Evolution of a Powerful Tool The rapid and extraordinary progress of supercomputing over the past half-century is a powerful demonstration of our relentless drive to understand and shape the world around us. In this book David Barkai offers a unique and compelling account of this remarkable technological journey drawing from his own rich experiences working at the forefront of high-performance computing (HPC). This book is a journey delineated as five decade-long ‘epochs’ defined by the systems’ architectural themes: vector processors multi-processors microprocessors clusters and accelerators and cloud computing. The final part examines key issues of HPC and discusses where it might be headed. A central goal of this book is to show how computing power has been applied and more importantly how it has impacted and benefitted society. To this end the use of HPC is illustrated in a range of industries and applications from weather and climate modeling to engineering and life sciences. As such this book appeals to both students and general readers with an interest in HPC as well as industry professionals looking to revolutionize their practice. From the Foreword: “David Barkai's career has spanned five decades during which he has had the rare opportunity to be part of some of the most significant developments in the field of supercomputing. His personal and professional insights combined with his deep knowledge and passion for the subject matter make this book an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the evolution of HPC and its impact on our lives. ” -Horst Simon Director Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) Lab | Unmatched 50 Years of Supercomputing

Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs Fifty Years of Learning

Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs Fifty Years of Learning

Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs: Fifty Years of Learning describes how coral reefs have alternately flourished and declined over the last 50 years and the dynamics of these changes. The study is based on recordings at 30 different locations along the Sudanese coast visited by the author between 1971 and 1973. Beyond the Red Sea's desert shores lie some of the richest and most diverse coral reefs on our planet. Over a thousand species of reef fishes matched by a similar abundance of living corals creating habitats scientists were only just beginning to understand. The complexity of the inter-relations was truly mesmerizing. A single intervention such as removal of a key species could cause the whole community to collapse. Healthy corals were transformed into green weed-smothered reefs accompanied by the loss of both corals and fish. Based on the author’s observations of how knowledge and perspectives have changed over the last 50 years this book highlights lessons learned from historical records that may help maintain and reestablish coral reefs in the years to come. Topics covered include: CORAL REEF FISH Fish surveys CORAL REEF PROFILES Coral growth rates Coral distribution Corals on 'Cousteau garage' CORAL THREATS Climate change Coral bleaching Coral diseases Coral sponges Terpios hoshinota Coral predators Coral urchins CORAL – ALGAE CORAL RESEARCH and more . | Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs Fifty Years of Learning

Routledge Handbook of Interdisciplinary Research Methods

Routledge Handbook of Interdisciplinary Research Methods

The landscape of contemporary research is characterized by growing interdisciplinarity and disciplinary boundaries are blurring faster than ever. Yet while interdisciplinary methods and methodological innovation in general are often presented as the ‘holy grail’ of research there are few examples or discussions of their development and ‘behaviour’ in the field. This Routledge Handbook of Interdisciplinary Research presents a bold intervention by showcasing a diversity of stimulating approaches. Over 50 experienced researchers illustrate the challenges but also the rewards of doing and representing interdisciplinary research through their own methodological developments. Featured projects cover a variety of scales and topics from small art-science collaborations to the ‘big data’ of mass observations. Each section is dedicated to an aspect of data handling from collection classification validation to communication to research audiences. Most importantly Interdisciplinary Methods presents a distinctive approach through its focus on knowledge as process defamiliarising and reworking familiar practices such as experimenting archiving observing prototyping or translating. | Routledge Handbook of Interdisciplinary Research Methods

Urolithiasis Medical and Surgical Management of Stone Disease

Urolithiasis Medical and Surgical Management of Stone Disease

Urolithiasis or stone disease occurs in 7% of women and 12% of men at some point and these statistics are rising. Furthermore for those who form a stone the likelihood of a recurrence is nearly 50% within 5 years of initial diagnosis. Therefore the need for effective minimally invasive alternatives for stone eradication and prevention is critical. Because stone disease comprises a large part of any urologist’s practice a thorough knowledge of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of stone disease is critical in order to understand and implement treatment strategies to prevent stone formation. Likewise a working knowledge of the surgical treatments instrumentation and outcomes is necessary to arm patients with sufficient information to make an informed decision and to provide the appropriate treatment modality for a given stone situation. In Urolithiasis: Medical and Surgical Management the authors provide a complete guide to the management of stone disease from both a medical and surgical prospective. This book should be an invaluable resource for those who treat stone disease in any capacity whether surgically or medically acutely or long-term. | Urolithiasis Medical and Surgical Management of Stone Disease
