The APM Knowledge SIG held their AGM event on Thursday 25th June in London.
Andy Wall presented a case study entitled "If we all knew what we all know - a systematic approach to sharing knowledge across projects".
As pressure increases to deliver projects on time, on budget and to meet ever exacting standards it’s never been a more important to leverage what we already know.
On an individual basis it can be difficult to remember and apply everything we know or we’ve ever learned, so imagine multiplying that problem across a large organisation undertaking thousands of projects.
Drawing on the experience of the last 5 year Capital Program (AMP5) this presentation will outline the systematic approach being developed by United Utilities to support the re-use of knowledge across projects that will deliver benefits across the whole asset lifecycle.
The JISC Continuing Access and Digital Preservation Strategy 2002-5, presentation to the 2004 JISC-CNI conference, Brighton UK is the fifth of 12 presentations I have selected to mark 20 years in Digital Preservation.
This presentation from 2004 is important largely for the legacy of the Strategy that established bodies such as the Digital Preservation Coalition and the Digital Curation Centre, which still have a major influence today.
The presentation sets out the context and rationale for the Strategy including the predicted growth of electronic publications, scientific data, and data curation. The implications of that growth were seen as:
• Core funding for institutions would not grow in line with information growth;
• A need for more automation and tools;
• A need for new shared services and information infrastructure;
• A significant need for R&D and investment to prepare for this.
Therefore the objectives of the Strategy were:
• As an advocacy document to secure additional funding of £6m over 3 years (2002-5) for new programmes in electronic records management and digital preservation;
• Justify the accompanying implementation plan;
• Provide a longer-term framework and rationale for activity extending beyond 2005.
C4.03: International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN) – Global Expertise in Coast...Blue Planet Symposium
The IODE International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN) project is a community of practice of organizations with a mission to share experiences and to find common solutions to Coastal Web Atlas (CWA) development. With more than 60 member organizations around the globe, ICAN can harness expertise across a wide range of specialties that include spatial data management, web map services, networking, coastal management, ocean remote sensing, and coastal policy. A major goal of ICAN is to help build a functioning digital atlas of the worldwide coast based on the principle of shared distributed information and global-level operational interoperability. ICAN promotes and encourages an increase in coastal and marine data sharing among policy makers and resource managers through the strategic use of CWAs. Participants seek to play a leadership role in forging international collaborations of value to the participating nations and organizations, thereby optimizing regional governance in coastal zone management. Since 2013 ICAN members have collaborated and shared ideas with the GEOSS in support of the goals of the Coastal Zone Community of Practice.. To foster this and other like-minded global projects, ICAN provides training and software for CWA implementation and serves as host for informed discussion. Among its achievements are a handbook on coastal informatics and CWA development, an interoperability portal, training guides on best practices, and numerous workshops.

C6.01: OceanTeacher Global Academy: sharing expertise in a coordinated way - ...Blue Planet Symposium
The OceanTeacher Global Academy Project is now establishing a global network of Regional Training Centres and will use this network to increase national capacity in coastal and marine knowledge and management. It will do so by (i) promoting the establishment of Regional Training Centres (RTCs) as well as their close collaboration through advanced information technology; and (ii) further developing the OceanTeacher Learning System. The OceanTeacher Global Academy will change training from a “north to south” culture to north-south, south-south, and south-north model. Whereas training has been traditionally based on experts from developed regions visiting and teaching developing country students, the OceanTeacher Global Academy will promote the expertise available in many developing regions.
Specifically, the OceanTeacher Global Academy will:
(i) Promote the establishment, and assist with the start-up, of (RTCs) that will plan, organize and implement training courses that are of relevance and serve needs within their region;
(ii) Promote the use of local experts as lecturers and training assistants by the Regional Training Centres;
(iii) Promote the collaboration between the (RTCs) by enabling (through advanced information technology) lecturers from multiple regions to contribute lectures;
(iv) Further develop the OceanTeacher Learning Management System to cover multiple IOC (and associate) programmes.
The OceanTeacher Global Academy builds upon and expands the existing OceanTeacher Academy based at the IOC Project Office for IODE in Oostende, Belgium, to a truly worldwide training facility. It will provide a programme of training courses related to IOC programmes, contributing to the sustainable management of oceans and coastal areas worldwide, and relevant to Member States in the regions. A suitable governance structure will be created. This will lead to the following benefits:
Increase the annual number of trainees that can participate in OceanTeacher Academy courses.
1. Increase the availability/involvement and the level of expertise of trainers.
2. Alleviate the costs and other drawbacks of long-distance traveling by trainers / lecturers and trainees.
3. Increase the focus on local issues while keeping a global perspective.
4. Increase self-driven capacity development, including local training expertise.
The OceanTeacher Global Academy will further promote collaboration and expertise exchange through new internet-based technologies such as video conferencing, video streaming etc. between the Regional Training Centres (RTCs).

Assessing the state of stocks challenges and opportunities Blue BRIDGE
A presentation by Scott Large, ICES which discusses Assessing the state of stocks challenges and opportunities.
Taken from the BlueBRIDGE workshop, European Maritime Day 2016, Towards innovative data services for Blue Growth workshop, 18 May 2016
Our Manchester event in April called ‘Cyber across the North West – a great opportunity for the region’, allowed attendees to network, learn about the Cluster, opportunities within the region and how to get involved. At the end of the event, an open discussion took place, to really find out what projects attendees wanted the Cluster to concentrate on.
Similar to Sean Dugan - SFCC Update - biologists meeting AGM 2015 (20)
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Editor's Notes
Thank you James
In summarising the year I have structured my talk into three key areas. The first of which is…
I had originally included direct reference to the WFR through out, but given the success of this mornings session I will stick to some of the areas of my work in 2014.
With thanks to our members SFCC have facilitated 3 major data related projects in 2014.
In addition, although SFCC itself was not directly involved, it is still important to consider the Temp Network because it involved a collaborative project between SFCC members and MSS.
Further to John’s presentation this morning, I will offer a summary of each project,
Then offer some suggestions upon considering the success of these projects together.
Apologies from Mark Naura
