Managing potential interactions of subsurface resources

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...

Gas: A Messenger From Subsurface Resources

Clean-burning, energy-rich natural gas is an increasingly desirable hydrocarbon resource. Gas can be retained in a basin for hundreds of millions of years (as in the Anadarko), yet vents almost continuously in active basins such as the Gulf of Mexico Basin. Five years ago the Gas Technology Insititute awarded a research contract to Cornell University to examine how gas moves in the deeper porti...

Managing Heterogeneous Resources

The Grid supports the sharing and coordinated use of resources in dynamic heterogeneous distributed environments. The effective use of a Grid requires the definition of an approach to manage the heterogeneity of the involved resources that can include computers, data, network facilities and software tools provided by different organizations. This issue get more importance when complex applicati...

Potential Drug Interactions in War-Injured Veterans

Drug-drug interaction (DDI) is one of the most important problems in the treatment of patients suffering from different chronic intractable diseases. The war-injured veterans are one of the groups that are prone to chronic refractory diseases. This investigation was conducted on war-injured veterans treated in a multi-disciplinary clinic in Tehran. Using Poisson model, a total of 150 patients w...
