The Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) at the San Diego Supercomputer Center has been awarded $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to measure and quantify the changing nature of the Internet’s topology and what it means for the Internet’s future in terms of design, operations, scientific study, and public policy.
In a study that helps to deconstruct how olfaction is encoded in the brain, neuroscientists at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified a type of neuron that appears to help tune, amplify and dampen neuronal responses to chemosensory inputs from the nasal cavity.
In a study published in the current online issue of JAMA Psychiatry, an international team of scientists, led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, report finding a highly accurate blood-based measure that could lead to development of a clinical test for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk in males as young as one to two years old. The test could be done in community pediatric settings.
The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego, has announced internship opportunities for its 2015 Research Experience for High School Students (REHS) summer program, which places students into multidisciplinary research teams to help them gain experience in selected areas of computational research.
From the unthinkable extremes of temperature and pressure in the hearts of stars, to the behavior of electrons in computer chips, the study of matter under extreme conditions involves disciplines as varied as engineering, astrophysics, and supercomputing – and gains in importance as we seek to harness the benefits of matter “in extremis.”
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified a key piece in the complex molecular puzzle underlying heart failure – a serious and sometimes life-threatening disorder affecting more than 5 million Americans.
