چکیده

This paper presents the design and implementation of a cyberinfrastructure for End-to-End Environmental Exploration (C4E4). The C4E4 framework addresses the need for an integrated data/computation platform for studying broad environmental impacts by combining heterogeneous data resources with state-of-the-art modeling and visualization tools. With Purdue being a TeraGrid Resource Provider, C4E4 builds on top of the Purdue TeraGrid data management system and Grid resources, and integrates them through a service-oriented workflow system. It allows researchers to construct environmental workflows for data discovery, access, transformation, modeling, and visualization. Using the C4E4 framework, we have implemented an end-to-end SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) simulation and analysis workflow that connects our TeraGrid data and computation resources. It enables researchers to conduct comprehensive studies on the impact of land management practices in the St. Joseph watershed using data from various sources in hydrologic, water quality, atmospheric, and other related disciplines.

Non-Rigid Registration for Image-Guided Neurosurgery on the TeraGrid: A Case Study

We present a feasibility study of using TeraGrid resources for computing non-rigid registration (NRR) of brain MRI. The end-to-end NRR procedure we consider has previously undergone clinical validation at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston. We consider the use of TeraGrid resources in two scenarios. First, we evaluate the feasibility of using a grid-enabled implementation to provide timely ex...

Accurate estimation of hydrocarbon volume in a reservoir is important due to future development and investment on that reservoir. Estimation of Oil and Gas reservoirs continues from exploration to end of reservoir time life and is usual upstream engineer’s involvements. In this study we tried to make reservoir properties models (porosity and water saturation) and estimate reservoir volume hydro...

Is There a Place for Animals in the Moral Consideration of Nature?

The compatibility of an "animal lib­ eration" ethic and an environmental eth ic depends prima ri lyon how one interprets the meaning and moral structu re of a theory of envi ronmental ethics. In part this is because the meaning and moral structure of an animal liberation ethic is fairly straightforward: it focuses on the absence of morally relevant differences between humans and animals, and on...

Mishan Formation with grey marl and sandy lime composition is one of the most important raw material for cement production. Remote sensing is approved as a low-cost and rapidly developing method in exploration of mineral resources. The sub-pixel mixture tuned matched filtering (MTMF) and the whole-pixel spectral angle mapper (SAM) algorithms were used on 6 and 9 bands of the ASTER data from Mis...
