Mickey Leland research associate Diana Alvarado working in the lab with mentor Biswanath Dutta. Diana is working on the Reaction Engineering Team at NETL studying Synthesis and Characterization of high-energy-surface structures/facets for alkane dehydrogenation reactions. In this research, Diana will learn how to conduct database searching and how to use NETL supercomputer Joule 2.0 to perform density functional theory (DFT) calculations and lattice phonon dynamics simulation with existing software packages (VASP, PhonoPy, etc.). This project is directly related to our research tasks of the on-going NETL Carbon Capture FWP on developing CO2 capture & utilization technologies for fighting global warming.

The Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) Centennial Gala, held Friday, October 20, in Aberdeen was the culminating event of a year-long celebration of APG’s 100th Anniversary. Approximately 780 people attended the Cabaret-themed event, which featured live music, a casino, dancing, comedy, fireworks, acrobats and other performers, and an After-Party at the Speakeasy. Merritt Property, which manages the Aberdeen Corporate Park on route 22 next to the Target store, donated the use of the 90,000-square foot building for the event. U.S. Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger, MG Randy Taylor, local and state elected officials, and senior Army officials were in attendance, as were hundreds of members of the Harford and Cecil County communities.
The Gala was hosted by the APG Centennial Celebration Association, which is working to establish the APG Discovery Center in Aberdeen. This facility will house an interactive STEM educational space for learners of all ages to experience science and technology through hands-on exhibits and demonstrations.
During 2017, the APG community hosted over 150 events during 2017 to commemorative APG’s 100-year history. The Live Fire, the APG Memorial dedication, the Rosie the Riveters movie, exhibits at the college and libraries, historical talks and presentations, and Science Cafes.
Bravura Information Technologies was the presenting sponsor of the event. Additional funding was provided by Harford County Office of Economic Development, APG Federal Credit Union, SURVICE Engineering, Harford Community College, AFCEA, IRA, Association of Old Crows, Tenax Technologies, Northeastern Maryland Technology Council, Veteran Corps of America, Profile Partners, Leidos, Cray Supercomputers, CACI, ManTech, Jacobs, Adams Communication, Booz Allen, Camber, Jones Junction Greater Harford Committee, Signatech, Cecil College and many more businesses.
The companies in this year’s class represent the ever-growing and diversifying entrepreneurial ecosystem. Our companies come from all over the country and bring unique skills, background and expertise to Boulder this summer. While individually different, they are all fueled by an unquenchable desire to improve the world by solving big problems.
This year’s class includes companies that are focused on helping brides get the dress they dream of (while staying within their budget) to enabling any child to make music to wearables that notify a loved one if you feel unsafe to helping home buyers/sellers save money and many more. These 10 companies stood out for their drive and passion to do something great and it’s a true honor and privilege to work with them.
We’re very excited to introduce the Techstars Boulder 2015 class:
adHawk: A mobile app that provides a bird’s eye view of all your digital marketing data in one place.
Blazing DB: An SQL database at supercomputer speeds that’s incredibly easy to use.
Edify: Empower every kid in the world to make their own music.
Flytedesk: A platform for buying and selling uncollected media, starting with college newspapers.
HobbyDB: The definitive database for collectors and hobbyists to manage and monetize their collections.
MadKudu: Data science that helps sales and support teams fight customer churn.
Revolar: The world’s smartest personal safety wearable device keeps you safe anytime, anywhere.
Stryd: The world’s first running power meter that helps runners improve their performance.

Another boat book....Google has taken direct aim at Microsoft's core business, offering free email and software from word processing to spreadsheets and calendars, pushing a transformative - and highly disruptive - concept known as "cloud computing".
According to this plan, users will increasingly store and organize all of their data on Google's massive servers - a network of a million computers which amount to the world's largest supercomputer, with unlimited capacity to house all the information Google seeks.
The more offerings Google adds, and the more ubiquitous a presence it becomes, the more dependent its users become on its services, and the more information they contribute to its uniquely comprehensive collection of data.
This trend can be observed with other internet sites as well, such as photo-sharing and social networking sites like Flickr, Shutterfly, Myspace, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and many others. Such sites rely uopn massive data and images uploaded and shared by the users themselves for their success. Fascinating and thought-provoking reading.
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (Oct. 16, 2015) -- The U.S. Army introduced its newest supercomputer, Excalibur, which will help to ensure Soldiers have the technological advantage on the battlefield, officials said.
The Excalibur is the 19th most powerful computer in the world. About 50 officials gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory Department of Defense Supercomputing Resource Center.

Using supercomputers and data mining, a team led by engineers at UC San Diego has discovered and developed a new phosphor to make LEDs with excellent color quality. Under UV light, the phosphor emits either green-yellow or blue light depending on the chemical activator that is mixed in.
Researchers published the new phosphor on Feb. 19 in the journal Joule.

The Z32 was designed by Isao Sono and Toshio Yamashita, approved in final form by Nissan management on October 1, 1986. The body was wider with a rounder profile and fewer hard edges. It had a marginally increased coefficient of drag of 0.31 compared to the Z31's 0.30. Nissan utilized the Cray-2 supercomputer to design the new Z32 with a form of CAD software making it one of the first production cars to utilize this tool.
Like previous generations, Nissan offered a 4-seater (2+2) model with the Z32. All Z32s initially featured T-tops as standard. A hardtop model was available in North America, only in non-turbo models, and in Japan was available along with an extremely rare Twin Turbo model (Japan-only).
The 2,960 cc (3.0 L) VG30DE V6 engine was carried over from the previous generation 300ZX (Z31), but fitted with a DOHC head and variable valve timing (N-VCT), producing 222 bhp (225 PS; 166 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 198 lbâ‹…ft (268 Nâ‹…m) at 4,800 rpm in naturally aspirated (NA) form.
The high output engine (VG30DETT) was upgraded with Garrett AiResearch parallel twin-turbochargers and dual intercoolers, producing 300 bhp (304 PS; 224 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 283 lbâ‹…ft (384 Nâ‹…m) of torque at 3,600 rpm. Benefiting from Project 901, the Z32 was the first car to be marketed following the introduction of the 280 PS (206 kW) power ceiling imposed by JAMA that remained until 2004
The engine was detuned to 280 bhp (209 kW) when the optional automatic transmission was fitted, but an automatic-equipped car was slightly faster to accelerate to 100 mph (161 km/h), taking 15.8 seconds compared to 16.3 seconds for the manual.

When I was a kid (yes, there were some computers back then) the ultimate dream machine was the Cray-1. At the time, it was the fastest computer on the planet, although today a typical Pentium outperforms it by over 100 times. The coolest thing was the style, though, from the exposed miles of wiring to the fact that the base doubled as upholstered seating.
