Abstract

Readers who wrangle answers from data by extended refinement of available computational tools have many options and resources available. Inevitably, they will develop their own methods tailored to the problem at hand.Two new books have recently been published, each of which is useful addition to the library for a scientist who programs with data. The two books reviewed are both written by H. Wickham. The titles are ''Advanced R'' and ''R Packages'', both published in 2015.

The role of peer review and science for advancing public understanding

Journal Article Snyder, Seth W ; Kim, Hyunook ; Chiang, Pen Chi - Water-Energy Nexus

We live in a time of rapid change. The Covid-19 pandemic has united the world to understand and develop solutions to protect the health and wellbeing of society. At the same time, access to information on the internet and social media has exploded. People are exposed to information with many claims. Some of the information is relevant and accurate. A significant fraction may be inaccurate, biased, and potentially dangerous. With Covid-19, the information might point to cures that are toxic or risks that are not relevant. The scientific community has developed a process to develop and convey knowledge. The validationmore »« less

Crosscut report: Exascale Requirements Reviews, March 9–10, 2017 – Tysons Corner, Virginia. An Office of Science review sponsored by: Advanced Scientific Computing Research, Basic Energy Sciences, Biological and Environmental Research, Fusion Energy Sciences, High Energy Physics, Nuclear Physics

Technical Report Gerber, Richard ; Hack, James ; Riley, Katherine ; ...

The mission of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE SC) is the delivery of scientific discoveries and major scientific tools to transform our understanding of nature and to advance the energy, economic, and national security missions of the United States. To achieve these goals in today’s world requires investments in not only the traditional scientific endeavors of theory and experiment, but also in computational science and the facilities that support large-scale simulation and data analysis. The Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program addresses these challenges in the Office of Science. ASCR’s mission is to discover, develop, andmore »« less

Advances in lithium-ion batteries

Journal Article Kerr, John B - Journal of the American Chemical Society

The editors state in their introduction that this book is intended for lithium-ion scientists and engineers but they hope it may be of interest to scientists from other fields. Their main aim was to provide a snapshot of the state of the Lithium-ion art and in this they have largely succeeded. The book is comprised of a collection of very current reviews of the lithium ion battery literature by acknowledged experts that draw heavily on the authors' own research but are sufficiently general to provide the lithium ion researcher with enough guidance to the current literature and the current thinkingmore »« less

Book Review: Lectures on BSDEs, Stochastic Control, and Stochastic Differential Games with Financial Applications by Rene Carmona

Journal Article Kaplan, Alan D. - SIAM Review

This book is a collection of lecture notes on various topics in the area of stochastic control, stochastic differential games, and financial applications. It makes for an excellent resource for those who already have some familiarity with these topics, although as the author points out, it is not a polished textbook. If the reader is not well versed in stochastic processes and control theory this book may not be the best introduction since prerequisite knowledge of these topics is a must before diving into the material. On the other hand, the book contains a very useful section of notes atmore »« less

Software overview manual. [In assembly language for PDP-11]

Technical Report Allen, R

This is a software overview manual for several software packages developed as part of the COMSYS computer teleconference system, an LSI-11 based communications system. The packages were intended to be general-purpose software, for use in other LSI-11 based systems besides COMSYS. This manual was written for a programer who might wish to use some or all of this software in developing such systems. Word-processing, small to medium data-base storage and query systems, microcomputer networks, and text exiting systems are examples of systems that might exploit this software. Each package is briefly discussed, and then how they may be used togethermore »« less
