In anticipation of National Trivia Day, celebrated on Jan. 4 of each year, I asked for some trivia questions from my few Ohio Technology Consortium colleagues who happened to be in the office over the holidays. As usual, they didn’t disappoint. First, a selection of their trivia questions:
Today's digest focuses on small businesses facing issues of cybersecurity, operational consolidation efforts, and a new step with big data leading toward paid searching. Also included is information on the new 2014 agenda for Ohio lawmakers concerning the state budget changes and college programs offering fixed-rate tuitions.
Happy New Year! The first digest of the year features stories on STEM assistance at Ohio universities, drone testing at US institutions, the impact of sequestration on various branches of government, higher education news for Northeast Ohio, and multi-scale simulation benefits.
Today's digest focuses on the future of big data, Stanford University's combination of technology and design, the NSF support for a cyber-enabled research program, and a free web platform aimed at teaching computer coding. Also included is information on the Common Application changes and how colleges will deal with past issues when it comes time to submit college applications this week.
With just two days left in 2013, we focus today's Daily Digest on recent news featuring NASA's exploration developments, publishing associations fighting against illegitimate open-access journals, and the future for HPC systems. Also featured is information on Columbus, Ohio being named the driver of Ohio's economic recovery and the President's Council on Advisors on Science & Technology making the case for Massive Open Online Courses to President Obama.
At this special time of year, many people look forward to spending quality time with their family, friends and other loved ones, sharing family stories, preparing sumptuous meals, exchanging gifts and, in general, following their faith. The technology of communication, it seems, may have impacted these holiday gatherings as much as many other human activities. And, since I am not an engineer or professor, it is not my intention to document the smallest details of the evolution of communication technology, but, rather, to share a few of my personal observations.
The final digest for this week features information on HPC power and energy saving techniques, supercomputing and molecular research, computer software developments for university exams, and a global comparison of online learning techniques. Also included is information on an effort to gain funding for a data and cybersecurity center in central Ohio.
We will be taking a week-long break from the Daily Digest due to the holidays. Please stay tuned for new digest entries around the New Year!
Today's digest focuses on topics of education, clean-energy, and 3D printing. We provide information on Ohio's Straight-A-Fund education grants set to be awarded this week, engaging STEM education through holiday gift-giving, and efforts of the Digital Public Library of America to spread access among libraries and universities. Also included is information on Ohio and Michigan working together on a clean-energy initiative and a 3D printed loudspeaker at Cornell University.
The digest for this Wednesday features information on the oil and gas energy boom in relation to manufacturing in the US, NASA using new tools for climate and earth science research, and US education companies focusing on expanding operations in China. Also included is information on building a STEM pipeline through high school education, along with information on the approval of $12.8 million for funding in biomedical technology research in Ohio universities.
The Research & Education community’s networks have always been the platform upon which new innovations have launched. From the creation of the basic routing protocols that underpin the Internet, to the invention of search, social networking and online media, research and education delivered the platform upon which new applications were built and where whole new classes of sophisticated users developed.
The Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH) delivers world-class technologies, information and expertise to benefit academic, government and industrial researchers and boost Ohio's economy. OH-TECH is comprised of three member organizations: the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), the Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet) and the Ohio Library and Information Network (OhioLINK). We hope to become your resource for news and information on supercomputing, networking and library trends.
