NIMBIoS undergraduate meeting 20151121

=> Mutation effect on cooperation. Two students from UNC Greensboro
 deterministic model, using Michanis-Menten style models.

=> invasive species and commodity flux
cargo shipping and invasive species
freight analysis framework FAF
http://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/FREIGHT/freight_analysis/faf/index.htm

S(t+1) = E * P g(St)
where g is the logistical growth, E: environmental matrix. P: transitional probability matrix.
Each state is a node.

"jump' from midwest to 'california'? through shipping, long-distrance dispersion.

=> Pakingson disease orthologs
human GWAS -> worm ortholog -> STRING -> pathway

=> Clinic gait analysis
quantify gait, using relfective markers. motion capture technique.
joint angle data, knee flexion/extension

Current analysis on adult males.
Modeling should be done before operational procedure.

Gage center for motion analysis.
Gillete Children's Healthcare.

G Graphics cookbook, website support

KSU R Day

=> First talk
-> undergraduate minor in data analytics

->Analytics becomes the value driver:
raw data ^& report  = value
linking of multiple data source
predictive model, internal attrribute == trusted parter status
predictive attributes, insights == stickness and value

-> credit score modeling

-> insurance risk

-> insurance fraud detection, network based analysis, temporal information, identify potential ring leader.

-> vehicle risk, telematics
trip complexity: right-to-left ratio, local speeding, highway speeding, road feature, weather, hard breaking, night driving,

-> location risk in property insurance
weather-related peril, geo-spatial intelligence

-> life mortality modeling vs traditional accural model
factors: life style, MVRs, credit, prescription history, gender, age-buckets

-> Success in Data Analysis: understand what matters, details matter, understand connections, execution is key, learn the language.

-> drone technology may bring chagnes.

*** bio386, Gordon exercise 20151105Thu

Gordon, file transfer

Procedure to transfer bio386.tar archives from QIN's directory to student directory: 
You can loginto Gordon using ssh or Putty directly
ssh username@gordon.sdsc.xsede.org
Then go to your file directory:  
cd /oasis/scratch/username/temp_project/
Then copy bio386.tar to your file directory
 cp /oasis/scratch/hongqin/temp_project/bio386.tar . 
Then 
tar xvf bio386.tar 
Then
cd Slim-network-aging-bio386-fall-2015
Then 
nano -w  20151101-net-sim-ginppi.R
Inside of nano, you should change the username in the following line: 
mydir = '/oasis/scratch/username/temp_project/Slim-network-aging-bio386-fall-2015'
Then control-X save and exit nano
Now, we can need to change the working directory in PBS job script. 
$ nano -w netaging.pbs
Then change username in the following line
 cd /oasis/scratch/hongqin/temp_project/Slim-network-aging-bio386-fall-2015
Then exit and save. 
Then submit the job request
qsub netaging.pbs
If this runs, you are one of the first Spelman students to use a Federally funded super-computer. 
To check the status of your computing jobs
qstat -u username

bio386 20151105Thu

X student research project,

X data into R.

Gordon pbs job run.

made 2 liter YPD plates

8pm-10pm.

10g YE
20g Peptone
20g Dextrose
20g agar
add 1000 ml ddH2O
autoclave for 30 minutes (70 minutes)

30 minutues, weight ingredients, 1 hour autoclave, pour plates (about 30 minutes)

Poured about 5 sleeves of plates.


advising for spring 2016

For 42 students with course plans, I spent 8 hours, plus 4 hours in-person office hours.
Monday 4 hours
Tuesday 4 hours

For irregular students, changed majors, or seniors, it took much less time.

Wed 1-5pm, in-office advsing.

Spelman NSF day

* cost sharing is prohibited.

* NSF-wide and cross-cutting programs: HBCUs, RAPID/EAGER, ADVANCE, GRFP, MRI, RUI/ROA, REU/RET.

RAPID such as ebola virus in 2014, aspect of urgency.
https://www.nsf.gov/geo/plr/opp_advisory/briefings/may2010/gpg_rapid_eager.pdf
" PI(s) must contact the NSF program officer(s) whose expertise is most germane to the proposal topic before submitting a RAPID proposal. This will facilitate determining whether the proposed work is appropriate for RAPID funding."

EAGER, Early Concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER), high risk and high reward. Internal review. 

ADVANCE: women in academics and science. 

MRI: an equipment to enhance "existing research" with more possibilities. 


For PUI: 
RUI: no more than 20 PhD degrees in 2 year period in all-NSF supported fields. 
ROA: research opportunity award, supplements to existing awards, such as support to visiting a large lab to learning new skills. 

RUI has better rate than regular proposals.
