Report of the Committee on Proposal Evaluation for Allocation of Supercomputing Time for the Study of Molecular Dynamics: Third Round
by National Research Council of the National AcademiesThe committee evaluated submissions received in response to a request for proposals (RFP) for Biomolecular Simulation Time on Anton, a supercomputer specially designed and built by D.E. Shaw Research (DESRES) that allows for dramatically increased molecular dynamics simulations compared to other currently available resources. During the past 2 years, DESRES has made available to the non-commercial research community node-hours on an Anton system housed at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC), based on the advice of previous National Research Council committees convened in the falls of 2010 and 2011.
Wonders of Seals and Sea Lions
by Joseph E. BrownFrom the book jacket: Playful, popular performers of many occanarium shows, seals and sea lions are air-breathing mammals that began leaving the land continents many millions of years ago to adapt to life in the sea. Called pinnipeds by scientists, their streamlined bodies and powerful flippers and fins make them adept, agile swimmers and divers. Once a year, however, they return briefly to land to form breeding colonies where their young are born, nourished, taught to swim, and finally weaned. wonders of seals and sea lions tells the story of these remarkable animals: their natural history, how they have adapted to life in the oceans, and of life in the colonies. It also describes how many species were tragically exploited and driven nearly to extinction by man, one of the pinnipeds' few predators. A summary chapter looks at the future, and what scientists are learning from seals and sea lions that may assist man himself in exploration of the increasingly important oceans.

Charles Darwin: Evolution and Natural Selection
by Charles Darwin Bert James Loewenberg"On the twenty-fourth of November, 1859, the London publishing house of John Murray issued a small green-backed volume. The volume was entitled On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.1 Charles Robert Darwin, the author, was a scientist who had written on geological and zoological topics with monographic competence. He had also written an interesting travel account which had reached a much wider public. As a naturalist on H. M. S. Beagle, an admiralty vessel engaged in a routine survey, he had reported findings in many areas of natural history and had also recorded his experiences in foreign lands." -opening paragraph
