Katrina scars tens of thousands psychologically

Katrina scars tens of thousands psychologically.

CMAJ Tens of thousands of victims of Hurricane Katrina in the US Gulf Coast states are psychologically scarred from the trauma and will need help, says a Canadian emergency physician who travelled to Louisiana as part of Vancouver's Urban Search and Rescue team. "Many of the people that we saw had this vacant stare in their eyes," Dr. Mike Flesher, 44, told CMAJ. "They were mentally and physica...

Snaptron: querying splicing patterns across tens of thousands of RNA-seq samples

Motivation As more and larger genomics studies appear, there is a growing need for comprehensive and queryable cross-study summaries. These enable researchers to leverage vast datasets that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. Results Snaptron is a search engine for summarized RNA sequencing data with a query planner that leverages R-tree, B-tree and inverted indexing strategies to rapidly...

Linear-scaling density-functional theory with tens of thousands of atoms: Expanding the scope and scale of calculations with ONETEP

ONETEP is an ab initio electronic structure package for total energy calculations within density-functional theory. It combines ‘linear scaling’, in that the total computational effort scales only linearly with system size, with ‘plane-wave’ accuracy, in that the convergence of the total energy is systematically improvable in the manner typical of conventional plane-wave pseudopotential methods...
