Bruce:

Can you give me a step-by-step procedure for deleting the CPU slot?

I have just noticed that a certain work unit, (i.e. PRCG 7520 (5,9,86)), has been running on my computer for quite some time - at least a week. I noticed that execution of the WU got up to around 90-95 percent complete and then the WU appeared to "reset" and began re-executing from the beg...

This is not well developed or well thought out - it's just something that occurred to me in a flash ... The Problem: Despite FAH being "the world's largest distributed computing project" (according to Wikipedia), it irks me that we seem to be stuck in the 160-170 thousand donor/volunteer r...

http://phys.org/news/2014-09-scientists ... tml#ajTabs The article mentions how millions of bioengineered DNA protein variants were tested before they homed in on the decoy protein which demonstrated the greatest affinity for binding to the Gas6 protein - thus greatly reducing metastasis in mice.

Here's an interesting article on a new approach to fighting cancer. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/ ... ormation-3 There's a passing reference in this article to "computer technology" and the role it has played in this advance - especially with respect to simulations aiding new dru...

I have seen occasional references (in some of these threads) to trajectories. Apparently there are two types of trajectories - "long" trajectories and "short" trajectories. I read something on (Wikipedia?) about the Anton supercomputer being good at doing "short" trajec...

I have been studying cancer, so this thread caught my attention. I have a group of database programming friends who I have been trying (without a lot of success) to persuade to join FAH. (Of a group of 20-30 potential [new] folders, I have persuaded one to join - but he's a good one as he has 2-3 ma...

I would guess that the majority of us who are donating our unused computer cycles to FAH are not molecular biologists or researchers dedicated to studying this problem. I suppose it's also possible that few of us have taken a course in basic chemistry and/or organic chemistry. Even if those two assu...

While giving some thought to writing a letter to Paula S. Apsell, the Senior Executive Producer of PBS's long running "Nova" science program, (including a suggestion that she consider commissioning a program on protein folding - which might have the beneficial side effect of generating a g...

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this ... If not, hopefully a mod can put it where it would be more appropriate. http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2014/06 ... ulty-genes This is really interesting. When academic researchers voluntarily cut their ties with their university, along with the ...

It's been quite a while since I've been active on FAH and here in the forums, but I'm back to folding and quite happy to be crunching work units on a new computer. (I've also recruited a new member and even started a new team!) I've ran across an IEEE "Spectrum" article (originally linked ...

Guys: I've done some more "research" on this problem. It may be something really simple - as in my monitor being too close to an air conditioning unit that draws a lot of power. When I run the air conditioner, my monitor and a cooling fan simultaneously, I notice the erratic "shaking&...

I need some [monitor] troubleshooting advice! On my desktop computer, I have a KDS (Model # 2200W) flat screen color monitor that was manufactured in June of 2008. For the most part this monitor has worked like a champ, but after years of faithful service, it seems to be going south. While running t...

The paper already exists: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3227799/ but I think 7611 is some kind of follow-up or continuation of their tests. I've summarized that paper a bit in the paragraph on Anton in the F@h article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F@h#Compar ... simulators There's als...
