Didn’t get enough of the BBQ-goodness in our last welcome barbeque a few weeks ago? No worries, for we are hosting the Arbitrary Barbeque this Thursday! Something for everybody - fun for the whole family. As always, you’re invited and you can experience the arbitrariness of it all. Better that it is “arbitrary” than the “midterm” BBQ coming up… soon.
As always, our low, low prices apply - $2 for a burger and 50 cents for your choice of a pop XOR a bag of chips. We undercut everybody.
On Thursday, September 21st between 12:30-2pm Charles Krzysik will be offering a tutorial on the use of the Home Suite Home ‘06 Remote Computing CD. The tutorial will take place in X350 and will include the following topics:
Jdk1.5 / Eclipse 3.2 installation/troubleshooting and common issues.
SPEAKER: Niles A. Pierce, Applied & Computational Mathematics and Bioengineering California Institute of Technology
ABSTRACT: DNA and RNA are versatile construction materials. By appropriately designing the sequence of bases in each strand, synthetic nucleic acid systems can be programmed to self-assemble into complex structures that implement dynamic mechanical tasks. Motivated by the challenge of encoding arbitrary mechanical function into nucleic acid sequences, we are developing a suite of computational algorithms for analyzing the underlying free energy landscapes that control the behavior of a system. This talk will focus on new algorithms for predicting the equilibrium properties of an entire test tube of interacting nucleic acid strands. The utility of the approach will be demonstrated by elucidating the empirical behavior of a new class of instrument-free biosensors that are under development in the lab.
You must get your photos done if you want to be in the class composite and the yearbook (for Dec and May graduation). If you know you won’t order any photos, you can book a shortened appointment just to take a picture for the class composite. There is no charge for that.
A regular appointment requires a $35 deposit for the photo previews. If you choose not to order any photos and return the previews undamaged, your money if refunded. If you choose to order photos, that amount is deducted from the package you chose.
Simply phone Evangelos to book your appointment.
