Problems in the server

Veröffentlicht: Juni 22, 2017, 5:27pm CEST

Dear volunteers,
These days we have been suffering problems in the database due to an update. Many information was corrupted in the process. We have recovery a backup copy but it is a bit old.
We are working to get everything working well as soon as possible.

Please, be patient and thank you in advance.

Best regards.
Big simulation in the "New Carro et al. Human Ventricular Cell Model" subproject

Veröffentlicht: Mai 19, 2017, 4:47pm CEST

Dear all,
We are going to start a big simulation today. This is the last block of the subpropject entitled "New Carro et al. Human Ventricular Cell Model" ( [denis.usj.es] ). In this last simulation we use an optimization algorithm to improve the model. We estimate that the algorithm will need around 6 or 7 iterations and in each iteration we will send around 160000 new tasks. All this job will run in the CRN application.

We thank you in advance for all the effort and support you give us and we encourage you to spread this great simulation to add more people.

Thank you so much for everything!

Best regards,
Jesús.
First Scientific Results of DENIS in the Biophysical Society 61st Annual Meeting

Veröffentlicht: Februar 7, 2017, 1:40pm CET

Dear volunteers,
Next week, I will attend the 61st Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society in New Orleans. During the conference I will present a modification of one of the currents of our model (the calcium current). This current was modified to solve some problems of the model. We decided to modify this current thanks to the results obtained in DENIS, so we can say that this is the first scientific result in cardiac electrophysiology obtained thanks to your collaboration. Thank you very much!

You computed the exploratory study to locate the part of the model that was causing the problem. Thanks to your collaboration we were able to find it and propose a solution.

We continue to work to make our heart cell model as realistic as possible, we hope we can continue to give you great news like this in which your effort is rewarded enriching science.

Thank you very much for being by our side and helping us in this and in future works.

Sincerely,
Jesús.
Launch of new Application

Veröffentlicht: Januar 4, 2017, 7:03pm CET

Hi everyone,

As some of you have noticed, there are new WUs in the system. We are starting with a small peak of work, but the idea is to maintain a continuous flow of new WUs.

This new part of the project is related to a Database of markers of the simulations. We are populating a database with relevant values of the simulations to make to scientist easy the way to make a exploratory study of the model or avoid making all the time the same simulations.

We are working on the interface of this database and how to integrate in our website, also, we are developing a post to explain more this idea of the Database of markers.

Happy New Year!! And Happy Crunching!

Dear all,
We are putting new simulations in DENIS (in the CRLP2011 app). These first simulations will be in small groups and little by little the groups will increase in size.

Thank you for your patient!

Best regards,

Dear all,
Ibercivis foundation is planning a Citizen Science event on June 30, in Zaragoza (Spain). We are going to be there, and it could be a good meeting to share our experiences. If you are in Zaragoza or close to here, we hope to see you the next month.

As soon as they publish the final program, we will share it with you.

Best regards,

Beta Version of DENIS Simulator (Natrium) now running

Veröffentlicht: März 17, 2016, 5:11pm CET

Hi!
The new version of DENIS Simulator is out. We will generate some beta WUs to see if all is correct. To run those WUs, you have to modify your account preferences and check the option of run beta applications.
You can find more information about the new version here: [denis.usj.es]
Delay in the launch of new version

Veröffentlicht: Dezember 9, 2015, 7:36pm CET

Hi everyone,

It's sad for us to say that we will delay the launch of the new version at least one or two weeks.

Our team is small and health problems have a lot of impact on it. We suppose that in one week we will ready to work at 100%.

We will advice you when the new version will be available.

Best regards, Joel.
New web of the project

Veröffentlicht: November 27, 2015, 4:55pm CET

Hi everyone!
In the last months we have been working on a new web page of the project and now is on-line. You can see at [denis.usj.es.]
We have added more information about the project, the research we are doing and about the members of the team. We will gradually merge this page and the BOINC web page of the project.
We hope that this new web page will increase your knowledge of the project.
Any comment to improve it is welcome.
Thank you!

Best regards,
DENIS@Home staff.
New WUs Generation will be paused

Veröffentlicht: November 24, 2015, 4:13pm CET

Hi everyone!

We are ready to launch a new version of DENIS application, which will include more than one model, also, it will have new features for scientists like the ability to storage more parameters from the simulation.

We are working also in a new web page with more information about the project and the workunits organization, to do all that things we need to "purge" the system and prepare some scripts that will maintain the server paused this week.

We hope that the new web page and the new version of the app will be running during the next week.

Best regards, DENIS@Home Staff.

BOINC transitioning to a Community Based Governance

Veröffentlicht: Juli 12, 2015, 10:06pm CEST

BOINC transitioning to a Community Based Governance...
[boinc.berkeley.edu]

David Anderson wrote:

BOINC's funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation has ended, at least for the time being.
This funding supported me, Rom Walton, and Charlie Fenton.
We're now working on other things, although we'll stay involved in BOINC at some level.

The BOINC project will continue, and will be run according to a community-based model rather than centrally.
In essence, the people who contribute to BOINC now make the decisions about it.

This model is summarized here: [boinc.berkeley.edu]
and described in detail here: [https:]

There will probably be little visible change.
The BOINC software will continue to work.
The translation system, Alpha testing project, BOINC web site,message boards, and email lists will continue to operate.
However, any new development and major bug fixes to BOINC will need to be done by volunteer programmers.
I'm confident that the BOINC community will meet the challenge.

I welcome your feedback.
Please post it to boinc_admin@googlegroups.com, a new email list for discussions about the BOINC project as a whole.

New v1.05 DENIS Application

Veröffentlicht: Juni 17, 2015, 1:31pm CEST

Hi everyone!

We have launch recently the new 1.05 version of the CRLP2011EPI app. With this version checkpoint seems to work correctly and coupled with the new validator all the platforms seems to give us equal results.

We encorage to crunchers to switch all to the new version of the app.

Best regards, DENIS Staff
