Denver, CO (PRWEB) October 28, 2011

At the annual SPE conference, in Denver, CO, Dynamic Graphics, Inc. (DGI) will be offering a preview of a new well planning tool that will be available soon as an option to the popular CoViz 4D software. The new Integrated Well Designer allows geoscientists and engineers to plan well paths using CoViz 4D?s superior visualization environment. The Integrated Well Designer can be used to create drillable wells within the context of the asset teams? geologic, seismic, and other 3D and 4D reservoir data.

?This tool significantly improves the process of well planning by allowing users to design wellpaths within the complete context of their data.

Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) August 24, 2011

On October 22-23, an expected 450 people will gather at Mountain View?s Computer History Museum, launching an initiative to make science more efficient, collaborative and productive.

Whether by sharing research data, publishing work to be freely accessible, providing community access to lab space or collaborating across industry, academia & society, people across the world are improving science by opening up. Given the magnitude of our world?s unmet challenges, founder Joseph Jackson says ?we must grasp this opportunity to embrace open science.? The advent of social networking among scientists, increased public scrutiny and a revolution in computing speed have all had a hand in creating this historic moment.

?Open science represents a different kind of science. With the advent of massive computational power, there is a new way to do science and that often goes hand and hand with openness – and if you go with the traditional model, you?re ossified.? – Tomas Goetz, Wired.

The Open Science Summit is the first event of its kind, uniting open science advocates of all disciplines: everyone from citizen scientists to academic researchers and multinational corporations. For all their differences, these groups share one ambition: to make scientific research more public, sharable and scalable. Last year?s inaugural event saw over 300 attendees and nationwide media impact. This year, the Open Science Summit proves that Open Science is global and here to stay through the launch of the Open Science Alliance, an official coalition of these many complementary movements. The Alliance will launch a developer?s challenge this Spring, incentivizing students to develop solutions that benefit open science, as well as a number of joint publications and advocacy campaigns.

This year, open science has shown promise in crowd-sourcing clinical trials, determining interactions between genome-based and microbe-driven illnesses and even finding lost family members. This year?s Open Science Summit features a medical research track, exploring 2010-11 innovations and a pitch session where startups will present their contributions to open science collaboration. Confirmed speakers include recently-published Misha Angrist from Duke, Rade Drmanac, founder of Complete Genomics and Victoria Stodden, statistics professor at Columbia.

?Openness by far and away will win out if we actually measure people by their true contribution,? says Professor Jonathan Eisen. With that in mind, the Summit has a track dedicated toward new ideas on giving researchers due credit – and due reward – in an open science system. Confirmed speakers for this track include James Love of Knowledge Ecology International and David Thomson of UCSF. The summit also provides two more tracks: one dedicated to group problem-solving to address barriers to open science, and the other dedicated to youth education and advocacy around opening up.

VocabularySpellingCity is pleased to announce the latest addition to its growing section of resources for teachers: Science Vocabulary Lists. They are based on on state and national science standards, covering the key science content areas for each grade from kindergarten through high school. The lists can be used with all of VocabularySpellingCity?s learning activities.

Science vocabulary appears on high-stakes standardized tests as early as 4th grade. In addition, students who understand the meaning of scientific terminology have a much easier time understanding the concepts behind that vocabulary. ?Students’ knowledge of science vocabulary is at the very core of scientific understanding,? affirms Palm Beach County Science Educators’ Association President Linda J. Petuch (M.Ed., NBCT/Science, Early Adolescence).

VocabularySpellingCity provides science vocabulary lists for elementary through high school, written by science teachers and curriculum specialists from around the country. For each grade and science content area, there are both detailed lists and summary lists covering seven categories. Elementary and middle school categories include scientific inquiry, matter, energy, motion, space, earth, and life science. At the high school level, categories cover integrated science, ecology, chemistry, physics, earth science, space science, and biology.

The sentences and definitions were written, edited and refined by science teachers and curriculum specialists for use in the context of science. So when terms have multiple meanings or when they can be defined in both a general or scientific manner, the scientific definition or sentence is used.

All spelling vocabulary lists are free to use. Parents and teachers with premium memberships have the option of importing these lists into their accounts, where they can be customized to suit personal preferences and used with a larger selection of learning games. They can be integrated within a curriculum in a number of ways: as an introduction prior to studying a unit, as reinforcement of key concepts, or as an assessment after covering a unit.

VocabularySpellingCity offers a large selection of spelling and vocabulary lists covering a broad range of topics. The word lists can be used with over 25 spelling and vocabulary games that include interactive flashcards, matching games, unscrambles, fill-in-the-blanks and online spelling and vocabulary tests.

VocabularySpellingCity is a top 1000 site in the U.S., reaching over 2 million unique users per month according to Quantcast.com.
