E-Investigations Announces Quickly Advancing Computer Forensics Technology is Helping to Solve Cold Cases

E-Investigations has found that cases involving Non-Compete/Non-Disclosure, intellectual property and patent infringement computer forensic investigations can be re-examined using new computer forensics tools and updated hardware, software, and firmware. "Forensic tools are constantly improving. Updates to software, hardware and firmware can make previously lost files recoverable, especially those that were encrypted with passwords". Said Gary Huestis, Director of Digital Forensics at E-Investigations. "If you think that your investigation on your old partners computer is finished, but you know he was taking cash payments or not recording invoices in your accounting software, it's not too late. E-Investigations can re-evaluate that old drive and attempt to recover additional data that would help the case move forward." Huestis went on to say. People…

SC12 Conference Features Big Data Science Enabled by the Internet2 Network—The Fastest Nationwide Research & Education Network

NASA, NOAA, and University physicists showcase global discoveries in High-Energy Physics, Climate Research, Space and Atmospheric Science using the Internet2 Network and its advanced capabilities Internet2 community members including the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and many leading university-based researchers will demonstrate this week at the 24th annual SC Conference (SC12) how the advanced Internet2 Network supports high-energy physics research, such as the search for the Higgs boson particle, and climate and atmospheric science for improved predictions of extreme weather, like Hurricane Sandy. To support the scientists at SC12, Internet2 deployed three 100 Gigabit Ethernet links to its new Software Defined Networking (SDN)-based Advanced Layer 2 Service, as well as two 10…

Researchers launch innovative, hands-on online tool for science education

Computer scientists at the University of California, San Diego and at St. Petersburg Academic University in Russia, have developed a one-of-a-kind, hands-on online learning tool that weaves together for the first time science and programming education—and automatically grades homework too. "While modern biology is inundated with computation, biology students at U.S. universities are taught neither programming nor bioinformatics and as a result are unprepared for the challenges that await them in their own discipline," said Pavel Pevzner, a computer science professor at the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego. "We provide a tool to fill that learning gap." The new tool, called Rosalind, diverges from large-scale, online open education platforms such as Coursera and Udacity. Instead of listening…

Deborah Jin of JILA Selected for 2013 Women in Science Award

Deborah Jin, a physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) who works at JILA, has been selected as the North American recipient for the 2013 For Women in Science Awards. JILA is a joint institute of NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder. The award is given annually by the L’Oréal Foundation and UNESCO as part of an international program recognizing women in science and supporting scientific vocations. Five women scientists are recognized each year, one for each of five regions of the world. Since the program was created in 1998, it has honored 77 outstanding women scientists from around the world. “These five outstanding women scientists have given the world a better understanding of how nature…

NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center Opens: First science begins

The NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC), which houses one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers dedicated to the geosciences, officially opens today. Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and universities across the country are launching a series of initial scientific projects on the center’s flagship, a 1.5-petaflop IBM supercomputer known as Yellowstone. These first projects focus on a wide range of Earth science topics, from atmospheric disturbances to subterranean faults, that will eventually help to improve predictions of tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, and other natural hazards. “This center will help transform our understanding of the natural world in ways that offer enormous benefits to society,” says Thomas Bogdan, president of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), which…
