As the rate of change speeds up, it is likely that some technology or business somewhere/somehow has or will disrupt you and what you are doing. While it may be overdramatic to term these disruptions a “Black Swan”, it is reasonable to assume that as the world grows in complexity, our working lives will be disrupted (if it hasn’t already happened) by some technological “innovation”. In education, many have argued that emergent technologies are going to disrupt the way that schools and universities go about their business. This presentation will introduce you to some of the techniques used by these futurists, survey some of the recent presentations and articles about education and technology and attempt to sketch out some of the scenarios for education that may lie on the near horizon.

1) Broad, fair, and equitable access to advanced cyberinfrastructure is essential for democratizing 21st century science, but there are significant barriers related to knowledge, technical issues, social factors, and balancing capabilities.
2) An advanced cyberinfrastructure ecosystem for all requires integrated portals, access to local and national resources through high-speed networks, diverse allocation modes, embedded expertise networks, and broad training.
3) Realizing this vision will require a scalable federated ecosystem with diverse capabilities and incentives for partnerships to meet growing needs for cyberinfrastructure and
Panel: Building the NRP Ecosystem with the Regional Networks on their Campuses;Larry Smarr
This document summarizes a panel discussion on building the National Research Platform ecosystem with regional networks. The panelists discussed how their regional networks are connecting to and using the Nautilus nodes of the NRP. Examples included using NRP for deep learning and computer vision research at the University of Missouri, challenges of adoption in Nevada and potential solutions, and Georgia Tech's new involvement through the Southern Crossroads regional network. The regional networks see opportunities to expand NRP access and training to enable more researchers in their regions to take advantage of the platform.
Open Force Field: Scavenging pre-emptible CPU hours* in the age of COVID - Je...Larry Smarr
The document discusses Open Force Field (OpenFF), an open-source project that enables rapid development of molecular force fields through automated infrastructure, open data and software, and an open science approach. OpenFF provides access to large quantum chemical datasets, runs quantum chemistry calculations on pre-emptible cloud resources with minimal human intervention, and facilitates easy iteration and testing of new force field hypotheses through an open development model.

The document discusses open infrastructure for an open society and the role of commercial clouds. It describes how the National Research Platform (NRP), Open Science Grid (OSG), and Open Science Data Federation (OSDF) provide open infrastructure through open source components that anyone can contribute to and use. It then discusses how Southwestern Oklahoma State University leveraged NRP resources on their campus and engaged students and local teachers. Finally, it outlines the pros and cons of commercial clouds, when they may be suitable to use, and how tools like CloudBank and Kubernetes can help facilitate science users' access to cloud resources.

Frank Würthwein - NRP and the Path forwardLarry Smarr
NRP will replace PRP and aims to democratize access to national research cyberinfrastructure. The long term vision is to create an open national cyberinfrastructure by federating resources across research institutions. Key innovations include an innovative network fabric, application libraries for FPGAs, a "bring your own resource" model, and innovative scheduling and data infrastructure. The NSF has funded the Prototype National Research Platform project to support NRP for the next 5 years. NRP aims to grow resources, introduce new capabilities, and be driven by the research community.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
