Firewall Request Link
by Schmitz, Corby B. 12 May '14

12 May '14

This is the new location for firewall requests: https://argonne.service-now.com/com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.d… I know its ugly, but it is what it is. We are working on the back-end support for this to allow automated installation of rules (on the standard side). This will affect only networks behind the LWFW. -- corby

Seminar Announcement: Statistical Learning Machines for Protein Structure Prediction in the Era of High-Throughput Sequencing
by Ninfa Mayorga 23 Apr '14

23 Apr '14

Computation Institute Presentation Speaker: Jinbo Xu, Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago Host: Ian Foster Date: October 17, 2013 Time: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Location: University of Chicago, Searle 240A, 5735 S. Ellis Ave. This talk will be broadcast via Adobe Connect (see below) Statistical Learning Machines for Protein Structure Prediction in the Era of High-Throughput Sequencing Abstract: If we know the primary sequence of a protein, can we predict its 3D structure by computational methods? This is one of the most important and challenging problems in computational molecular biology and has tremendous implications for the understanding of life process, diseases and drug discovery. Depending on whether or not there is one solved structure similar to the protein sequence under consideration, computational methods for protein folding can be classified into two categories: template-based and template-free modeling. The former uses similar solved structures as templates to predict the structure of a protein while the latter does not. This talk will demonstrate how statistical learning methods especially probabilistic graphical models can be applied to address some fundamental challenges facing template-based and template-free protein folding by taking advantage of high-throughput sequencing and protein structure initiatives. Information: Lunch will be provided This talk will be broadcast to Argonne National Laboratory, TCS Building 240, Room 5172. You may join the broadcast from your location by joining Adobe Connect Meeting.

I2U2 Blog
by Stacey, Craig J. 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

Please confirm that https://www.i2u2.org/blog is still being used and should be kept up. Right now it's running an outdated Wordpress installation which should get updated. It hasn't had a new post in over a year, and the comments section was being used for spam. To make it a little less of a spam vector, this morning I disabled the account for richard_brockhaus(a)langdon.net which was causing bounces, I disabled the ability to comment on any post older than 5 days old, and turned off commenting by default on new posts. If it's not something that still needs to be kept around, I'll just disable the site. But if it should be kept around, I'll update the wordpress installation to make sure it doesn't become an attack vector. Thanks, and happy new year! -- Craig
