When 13th-century Indian religious scholars painstakingly incised spiritual philosophies on palm fronds to preserve for future generations, they could not have imagined that a team of 21st-century scholars would one day be working with high-performance computers to further preserve and make them accessible. This is what researchers from the Center for Preservation of Ancient Manuscripts (CPAM) at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) are doing for ancient Hindu documents, the Sarvamoola Granthas.
As many as 5.2-million Americans live with Alzheimer’s
disease—according to a 2008 report by the Alzheimer’s Association.
World-wide it is the sixth leading cause of death. Commonly described
as “going dark,” Alzheimer’s can make it difficult or impossible to
live a fully independent life.
Using technology made available on the TeraGrid, Mu-Hyun Baik, associate professor of chemistry and informatics at Indiana University (IU), is working on the front lines of Alzheimer’s research, helping to bring light to Alzheimer’s patients and their loved ones.
