In this case study, we hear from Jordan Deakin a Ph.D. student in Psychology, who has been making use of BlueBEAR and the BEAR Research Data Store to enable her research into visual selective attention. My PhD project explores how visual selective attention enables us to focus on task relevant information while filtering out interference. Typical investigations … Continue reading “Beating the Burden of Bayesian Statistics with BEAR!”

SNOW much fun: BEAR helps generate Open Access snow data
In this case study, we hear from Adrià Fontrodona-Bach (4th year Ph.D. student Geography), who has been making use of BlueBEAR and the BEAR Portal to enable him to create large Open Access datasets. “We need data” is a common statement in academic research. However, environmental data is usually scarce, unreliable, or inaccessible. As part of my … Continue reading “SNOW much fun: BEAR helps generate Open Access snow data”
Simulating DNA and its Interactions with Metal Compounds
In this case study, we hear from Samuel Dettmer (Chemistry), who has been making use of BlueBEAR and the Research Data Store to enable his research into the ability of metal compounds to bind to DNA structures. My name’s Sam and I’m a 2nd year PhD student in the Hannon Group in the School of Chemistry. My … Continue reading “Simulating DNA and its Interactions with Metal Compounds”
Using BlueBEAR to estimate the global impact of climate change on agriculture
In this case study, we hear from Allan Beltrán Hernández (Assistant Professor of Environmental Economics), who has been making use of BlueBEAR to enable his research into estimating the impact of climate change on agriculture at the global level. I work with colleagues at Yale University and the National Autonomous University of Mexico on estimating the impact … Continue reading “Using BlueBEAR to estimate the global impact of climate change on agriculture”
Essential HPC tools – tmux
In this blog post on Advanced Research Computing tips, one of our Research Software Engineers, Dr James Allsopp, gives some tips on logging into Linux-based systems such as BlueBEAR and Baskerville, using tmux. Whenever I have to remote into a Linux-based system, one of the first things I look for is a program called tmux. … Continue reading “Essential HPC tools – tmux”
How BlueBear is Helping us Solve Problems in One of the Hardest Areas of Physics – Powders?
In this case study, we hear from Benjamin Jenkins (EngD Formulation Eng FT), who has been making use of BlueBEAR to enable his research into powder simulation and issues surrounding calibration. You probably don’t think about how we use powders in manufacturing on a day-to-day basis and I wouldn’t blame you! They are however, the second most … Continue reading “How BlueBear is Helping us Solve Problems in One of the Hardest Areas of Physics – Powders?”
Leveraging computational resources to simulate small molecule–protein dynamics
In this case study, we hear from Dr Alan Jones (Pharmacy), who has been making use of BlueBEAR to enable his research in drug discovery. My name is Alan Jones. I am an Associate Professor based in the School of Pharmacy. My research interests are linked to drug discovery in the widest sense (making, optimising, and developing … Continue reading “Leveraging computational resources to simulate small molecule–protein dynamics“
Unraveling the Secrets of Viscous Fluids: Harnessing the Power of Research Computing
In this case study, we hear from Roberto Hart-Villamil (EngD student in Chemical Engineering), who has been making use of BlueBEAR to enable his research into temperature sensitivity and how it affects everyday products. Ever packed your favourite cream for a vacation in a tropical paradise, only to discover it’s turned into an unrecognizable goo? You’re … Continue reading “Unraveling the Secrets of Viscous Fluids: Harnessing the Power of Research Computing”
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) – Special Interest Group rebooted
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used in a variety of engineering disciplines, including civil, railway, river, coastal, tidal, meteorological, and chemical engineering. There are a variety of CFD packages commercially available including ANSYS CFX, ANSYS FLUENT and the open source software OpenFoam. Bruno Fraga, the chair of the CFD Special Interest Group is inviting you to be part of this group. Bruno has organised … Continue reading “Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) – Special Interest Group rebooted”
Statistical modelling to map and measure crimes against women and children
In this case study, we hear from Dr. Rowland Seymour (Mathematics), who has been making use of help from the BEAR software group to enable his research into safeguarding women. I’m an Assistant Professor in Mathematics and my research involves developing statistical tools to map and measure crimes, such as human trafficking and violence against women … Continue reading “Statistical modelling to map and measure crimes against women and children”
