Metagenomic analysis of orange colored protrusions from the muscle of Queen Conch Lobatus gigas (Linnaeus, 1758)

The endangered marine gastropod, Lobatus gigas, is an important fishery resource in the Caribbean region. Microbiological and parasitological research of this species have been poorly addressed despite its role in ecological fitness, conservation status and prevention of potential pathogenic infections. This study identified taxonomic groups associated with orange colored protrusions in the mus...

Managing Open Educational Resources

In the last few years, the international work on Massive Open On-line Courses (MOOCS) underlined new needs for open educational resources (OER) management within the context of the Web of Data. First, within MOOCs, all (or at least most) resources must be open and available on the Web through URIs, including the MOOCs themselves. Second the evolution of research and practice in the field of OER...

Managing Network Resources in Condor

Data-intensive applications in the Condor High Throughput Computing environment can place heavy demands on network resources for checkpointing and remote data access. We have developed mechanisms to monitor, control, and schedule network usage in Condor. By managing network resources, these mechanisms provide administrative control over Condor’s network usage and improve the execution efficienc...
