Incredibleminds Career Exploration Laboratory
You are 15 years old. Imagine walking into a hip emporium that inspires you to be curious and energizes you to succeed at a career. You sit down and play games; learn how to build games, 3D worlds and simulations; or just chat with like-minded friends about the future. The entire experience is about helping you "visualize" your science and engineering career exploration. In a "design team setting" you "play" roles ranging from 3D modeler to aerospace engineer.
IncredibleMinds goes beyond college guidance and occupational information to address the entire process of STEM career assessment, exploration and action planning necessary to help minority youth find STEM careers that fit their skills, interests, personalities, and developmental needs. New educational solutions need to be relevant and valuable to industry as well as relevant and valuable to youth (National Association of Governors, 2006). The key to the future of education is leveraging current investments in entertainment software and industry technologies.
We use commercial video games as the conceptual bridge to “playing” with industry simulation and modeling tools. Modeling and simulation tools are the immersive environments that our next-generation engineers and scientists must master. These tools provide the means to design and build engineered systems as well as to investigate and visualize complex scientific phenomena. The modeling and simulation industry is a $6 billion U.S. industry that is central to innovation in high-growth industries and the advancement of scientific discovery. Today, Congressional and industry leaders consider the modeling and simulation industry a "national critical technology.” According to Dr. Edwin Crues, NASA Constellation Program Modeling and Simulation Architect, “We cannot have an active and vibrant space program without an active and vibrant modeling and simulation community to support it.”
High Performance Computing - Challenges on the Road to Exascale Computing
The document discusses challenges in achieving exascale computing capabilities by 2018. It outlines how standard technology scaling will not be enough, and compromises will need to be made. These include reduced node performance, lower network bandwidth and fewer pins. Blue Gene architecture is presented as an example of a balanced system that achieves high performance through optimized interconnects and packaging density. A thought experiment proposes integrating significant solid state storage at each node to create an "active storage" machine based on Blue Gene architecture.

This document discusses computational biophysics, including current trends, needs, and challenges regarding high-performance computing (HPC). Computational biophysics uses physics-based modeling and simulation to study biological processes at the molecular level. Simulation sizes have increased from 20,000 atoms in 2000 to over 3 million atoms currently. Emerging needs include faster CPUs, solid state storage, and GPUs to analyze large simulation data in real time. Connectivity and infrastructure also need improvements to enable larger multicenter simulations. Overall, computational biophysics provides insights into cellular functions and mechanisms of life through increasingly detailed molecular simulations.
Future of medicine
Early humans began developing basic medical practices by using their senses to observe other primates and act on observations of grooming behaviors and nit-picking that addressed health issues. Over time, these social activities among primates transitioned into the beginnings of rudimentary human medicine as early humans applied their senses of sight, touch, smell, taste and hearing to identify health problems and ways to address them.

Visual Analytics in Omics - why, what, how?
This document discusses visual analytics in omics data. It begins by noting the shift from hypothesis-driven to data-driven research due to large datasets. Visual analytics can help explore these data by opening the "black box" of algorithms and enabling researchers to develop hypotheses. Effective visualization leverages human perception through techniques like preattentive vision and Gestalt laws. Challenges to visual analytics include scalability issues for large datasets and identifying interesting patterns for further analysis. Examples demonstrate data exploration, filtering, and user-guided analysis in genomic applications.
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
This document provides an introduction to artificial intelligence and how it can be applied to games. It discusses what AI is, common AI fields like machine learning and computer vision. It then focuses on AI for games, describing the components of an abstract AI agent model including sensors, actuators, and the environment. Actuators can include pathfinding, decision making and steering behaviors. The environment provides information to agents and can include resources, terrain and other units' positions. Finally, it outlines steps for building an AI game, such as determining the game type, choosing tools, designing objects, determining the number of agents, and separating agents from the environment.
Vivek wadhwa - Review
The document summarizes a workshop on exponential technologies held in Chihuahua, Mexico in 2016. Some key points made by speakers Vivek and Tarun Wadhwa include that exponential technologies will surpass human capacity in the next decade, Mexico could become the Silicon Valley of Latin America by capitalizing on these technologies, and that Chihuahua could develop industries in areas like telemedicine, 3D printing, robotics, and turning the city into a smart city.

What are the different types of Dental implants.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
