Visualization — the transformation of data and information into multimedia including pictures, animation and 3D scenes — enables users to understand information more naturally. It reveals patterns and relations in the information which may otherwise remain hidden. As a consequence, it can provide a single user with enough valuable information to support decision making. In addition to this, vis...

On October 15, we met to listen to a presentation by Marques Griffin from ChevronTexaco. He gave an overview of the entire oil production process and gave an idea of what types of positions his company had available. We also had this semester’s officer auction, where bidders could hire an officer for an hour to do such as things as cleaning or yard work. Our volleyball tournament to be held on ...

Fifteen years have elapsed since the first human infections with H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus were detected in Hong Kong SAR, China [1, 2]. Many of these human infections were fatal and represented the first documented outbreak of severe disease due to HPAI viruses. The hallmark of these H5N1 viruses is their hemagglutinin genes inherited from A/goose/Guangdong/1996, a vi...

A λ − Triple System(v), or a λ–TS(V,B), is a pair (V, B) where V is a set and B is a subset of the 3-subsets of V so that every pair is in exactly λ elements of B. A regular configuration on p points with regularity ρ on l blocks is a pair (P,L) where L is a collection of 3-subsets of a (usually small) set P so that every p in P is in exactly ρ elements of L, and |L| = l. The Pasch configuratio...

In a previous study of ours, the superoxide scavenging activity of aqueous extracts from dinophycean red tide flagellates was detected by an electron spin resonance (ESR)-spin trapping method, but not by an L-012 (luminol analog)-dependent chemiluminescence (CL) method. To investigate the discrepancy between the two methods, the effect of ferric-protein complexes on superoxide scavenging activi...
