Studies on Tube-end Spinning (2nd Report)

2nd Annual Report on Strees

2nd Year Dphil Report

Spinning eggs—which end will rise?

We examine the spinning behavior of egg-shaped axisymmetric bodies whose cross sections are described by several oval curves similar to real eggs with thin and fat ends. We use the gyroscopic balance condition of Moffatt and Shimomura and analyze the slip velocity of the bodies at the point of contact as a function of u, the angle between the axis of symmetry and the vertical axis, and find the...

Report from the 2nd Workshop on Extremely Large Databases

The complexity and sophistication of large scale analytics in science and industry have advanced dramatically in recent years. Analysts are struggling to use complex techniques such as time series analysis and classification algorithms because their familiar, powerful tools are not scalable and cannot effectively use scalable database systems. The 2 Extremely Large Databases (XLDB) workshop was...

Report on the 2nd Annual Infinium Humanmethylation450 Array Workshop

The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip - the successor to their hugely popular HumanMethylation27 BeadChip - is arguably the most prevalent platform for large-scale studies of DNA methylome analysis. After the success of last year's meeting (1) that discussed initial analysis strategies for this then-new platform, this year's meeting (held at Queen Mary, University of London) includ...
