Sitting in the doctor’s office, Catherine Rosenberg, of Little Egg Harbor Township, noticed something on a medical report that most patients wouldn’t—the mathematical formula used to calculate the volume of fluid in her swollen leg.
Rosenberg, who was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma at 8 years old, conquered cancer, but the radiation treatments led to her developing lymphedema, a condition that causes severe swelling in the limbs.
Immediately after seeing the formula, her knowledge of numerical analysis told her that there are much more accurate ways to calculate the volume of fluid buildup. Two Stockton degrees, an undergraduate degree in Mathematics and a master’s in Computational Science, and a dedication to advance the field of medicine led her to develop a patent-pending method of measuring fluid in lymphedema patients with help from a number of professors at Stockton and her doctor, Eric Chang.

About
We went to the design museum in Munich and changed upon this OLED display where walking in front of it would cause it to light up. This is the front of the circuit board, and the security guard was really nervous when I got really close to the display to take this photograph.
toomanytribbles, she of the bokehlicious shots and one of my favourite flickrites, took a similar shot here. I had that in back of my mind when I spotted this.
This is part II of this

BLOODHOUND SSC is a car that hopes to reach 1,000 mph (Mach 1.3 or 1.3 times the speed of sound) and set a new World Land Speed Record.
Swansea University researchers have been closely involved with the project.

Details of Dr Ben Evans' lectures on Bloodhound:
Alright, students, if our speed is 235 kt, our altitude is 7680', our distance to Rwy 24 is 32.8 nm, and our arrival is in 8 min/22sec, what is our descent rate in fpm? Ha.
In this exercise I'm showing how to add the number 123456789 to itself on the giant Soda Hall abacus. I add in left-to-right order, first adding 1 in the leftmost column, then 2 in the next column to the right, etc. For this particular computation, this order is slightly easier. This first step shows 123456789 entered on the abacus.
In this series, I am not present - this makes it less obvious what was changed, but does not occlude the abacus.
I'm now subtracting 6 in the 6th position from the left. This is done in 3 steps: subtract 10, add 5, subtract 1. In this step I subtract 10 by subtracting 1 in the 5th position from the left.
I'm now subtracting 5 in the 5th position from the left. This is done in 3 steps: subtract 50, add 40, add 5. In this step I add 40 by adding 4 in the 4th position from the left.

Dr. Hai Ah Nam is a computational nuclear physicist working at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) since 2008. Hai Ah’s research focuses on using cutting-edge high performance computing systems like Titan, the world’s fastest supercomputer, to solve large-scale problems in theoretical low-energy nuclear physics. Currently, she is a co-PI on the 6th largest Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) allocation award for computing time on the Nuclear Structure and Reactions project. Hai Ah is also a co-PI and serves on the NUclear Computational Low-Energy Initiative (NUCLEI) Advisory Council, a Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) application partnership focused on integrating computer science, applied mathematics and physics to use high-performance computing to explore the nuclear landscape. She received her Ph.D. in Computational Science jointly from San Diego State University and Claremont Graduate University in 2010. She received her M.S. in Physics from Carnegie Mellon University in 1999 and B.A. in Physics from Scripps College in 1997.

This lecture series explores key concepts in computational media to empower individuals to imagine, collaborate, provoke, and prototype through computing.
As a result of its widespread adoption, digital media has transitioned from "new media" to a ubiquitous part of contemporary life. This shift from novelty to familiarity has considerable ramifications for academic institutions working in the fields of media arts and digital culture. Exploring the formal potentials of information and networked technologies is no longer of significant interest: information technologies need to be understood as an embedded part of culture and history. Digital cultural practices must also work to extend their parent disciplines, including the studio arts, media history and theory, design, computer science and engineering.
Each speaker in the "Computation After New Media" series will focus on one word— a single term they feel is a core part of their work within the framework of computation. These lectures will be aimed at exploring the underlying structures of computationalism, providing an important leverage into the philosophy, languages, and principles of digital media.
October 22: Paul Dourish
Paul Dourish is a Professor of Informatics in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at UC Irvine, with courtesy appointments in Computer Science and Anthropology. He teaches in the Informatics program and in the interdisciplinary graduate program in Arts Computation and Engineering. His primary research interests lie at the intersection of computer science and social science; he draws liberally on material from computer science, science and technology studies, cultural studies, humanities, and social sciences in order to understand information technology as a site of social and cultural production. In 2008, he was elected to the CHI Academy in recognition of his contributions to Human-Computer Interaction.
Dourish is the author of "Where the Action Is: The Foundations of Embodied Interaction" (MIT Press, 2001), which explores how phenomenological accounts of action can provide an alternative to traditional cognitive analysis for understanding the embodied experience of interactive and computational systems. Before coming to UCI, he was a Senior Member of Research Staff in the Computer Science Laboratory of Xerox PARC; he has also held research positions at Apple Computer and at Rank Xerox EuroPARC. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from University College, London, and a B.Sc. (Hons) in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science from the University of Edinburgh.
The project Cyber Physical Macro Material, which was developed at the Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) as an ITECH M.Sc. thesis project by ITECH students Miguel Aflalo, Behrooz Tahanzadeh and Jingcheng Chen, demonstrates a tangible vision of a new dynamic (and intelligent) architecture for public spaces.
