GIS: Projections and their distortions
0
In GIS, projections are helpful to take something plotted on a globe and convert it to a flat map that we can print or show on a screen. Unfortunately it also introduces distortions to the objects and features on the map. This not only distorts the objects visually, but the results for any spatial attribute calculations will also reflect this distortion (such as distance and area ). Below is a link to a quick primer on projections, types of distortions that can occur, and suggestions on how to choose a correct projection for your work.

What are LSTMs?
0
This reading will explain what a long short-term memory neural network is. LSTMs are a type of neural networks that rely on both past and present data to make decisions about future data. It relies on loops back to previous data to make such decisions. This makes LSTMs very good for predicting time-dependent behavior.

DAGMan for orchestrating complex workflows on HTC resources (High Throughput Computing)
0
DAGMan (Directed Acyclic Graph Manager) is a meta-scheduler for HTCondor. It manages dependencies between jobs at a higher level than the HTCondor Scheduler.
It is a workflow management system developed by the High-Throughput Computing (HTC) community, specifically for managing large-scale scientific computations and data analysis tasks. It enables users to define complex workflows as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). In a DAG, nodes represent individual computational tasks, and the directed edges represent dependencies between the tasks. DAGMan manages the execution of these tasks and ensures that they are executed in the correct order based on their dependencies.
The primary purpose of DAGMan is to simplify the management of large-scale computations that consist of numerous interdependent tasks. By defining the dependencies between tasks in a DAG, users can easily express the order of execution and allow DAGMan to handle the scheduling and coordination of the tasks. This simplifies the development and execution of complex scientific workflows, making it easier to manage and track the progress of computations.
