Subject: Blaze 1.2 Released
Version 1.2 of the Blaze library, one of the fastest high-performance
C++ math libraries, has been released. Next to myriads of small
changes and improvements, this version introduces a very powerful and
flexible feature: views. Blaze 1.2 ships with row and column views
that enable computations with and assignments to specific rows and
columns of dense and sparse matrices.
Blaze 1.2 is now available for download at
http://code.google.com/p/blaze-lib.

Subject: TxSSA: A matrix sparsification algorithm and library, v1.0
We announce the release of TxSSA library, version 1.0. TxSSA is an
acronym for Tech-X Corporation Sparse Spectral Approximation. The
library has interfaces in C++, C, and MATLAB, and is an implementation
of a newly designed matrix sparsification algorithm. It takes a
general real or complex matrix as input and produces a sparse output
matrix of the same size. The non-zero entries are chosen to minimize
changes to the singular values and singular vectors corresponding to
the near null-space. The output matrix is constrained to preserve
left and right null-spaces exactly. The sparsity pattern of the
output matrix is automatically determined or can be given as input.
The library is intended for sparsifying dense matrices of size up to a
few thousands.
If the input matrix belongs to a common matrix subspace, the generated
sparse matrix belongs to the same subspace automatically. This holds
for matrices that are Hermitian, complex-symmetric, skew-Hermitian,
and for a some other less common ones.
The source code and a few precompiled binaries are available at
http://code.google.com/p/txssa/
Two relevant preprints and a publication are kept here
http://users.ices.utexas.edu/~chetan/Publications.html
The development was partially supported by US Department of Energy
SBIR Grant DE-FG02-08ER85154. Comments and contributions are welcome.

Subject: Postdoc and Programmer Positions, Comp Biology
We are looking for an enthusiastic programmer and/or doctorate to work
in interdisciplinary projects aimed at developing novel (1)
stochastic/multiscaled simulation algorithms and (2) parameter
estimation techniques. The ideal candidates should have a strong
background in Computer Science and/or Applied Mathematics (numerical
analysis and probability) as well as a strong interest to collaborate
with experimental biologists and theoreticians.
Strong programming skills in Matlab and C/C++ are mandatory, while
additional experience in Perl and Python are desirable. Additionally,
experience with dynamical systems (ODEs, PDEs) is expected, but
experience in biological/chemical reaction modeling and stochastic
simulation (temporal and spatio- temporal) will be considered a plus.
Specific projects will entail constant feedback and cooperation with
experimental and theoretical groups both inside and outside
Japan. Thus, the postdoc is expected to travel and be able to work in
groups, have excellent personal and communication skills, and a
willingness to communicate research results to interdisciplinary
audiences. Knowledge of Japanese is not required (albeit language
courses will be provided to those interested), but English proficiency
is mandatory. Appointment will be done at the technician (MSc) or
postdoctoral (PhD) level, and will have a remuneration package
according to qualifications.
The successful candidate will join the Integrative Systems Biology
Unit of the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate
University (OIST), and will work under the supervision of Assistant
Professor Tatiana T. Marquez-Lago. OIST is a university with no
departments, eliminating artificial barriers between people working in
different fields. Currently, 45 Faculty members and a growing
population of over 500 scientists, students, and research support
staff are located in OIST facilities in Onna, Okinawa. English is the
language of instruction and a large segment of the faculty and student
population is international. Further details about the unit can be
found on our website (https://groups.oist.jp/isbu/members).

Subject: PhD Positions, Auckland Bioengineering Inst, New Zealand
Funded PhD positions on image-based computer models and mapping
studies to investigate mechanisms behind persistent atrial
fibrillation.
We have funding that will cover tuition fees and provide support (an
annual tax-free allowance of NZ$25,000, in the form of a fortnightly
stipend) for PhD students at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute
(ABI), University of Auckland. The successful candidates will join a
research group in the ABI and the Faculty of Medical Health Sciences,
led by Prof. Bruce Smaill and Dr Jichao Zhao that is investigating
mechanisms of atrial fibrillation. Funding is for three years in the
first instance, with possible extension for a further 6 months.
Atrial fibrillation is the most common form of heart rhythm
disturbance and the ABI has developed a novel image-based computer
model of the atrial chambers that is providing new insight into the
factors that contribute to short-lived episodes of atrial
fibrillation. This project will extend the model to deal with atrial
fibrosis of persistent atrial fibrillation and is part of an
international collaboration between Auckland and the Center for
Arrhythmia Research, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The research
will involve 1) image processing 2) computer model development and
simulation studies, and 3) development of signal processing tools for
atrial electrograms acquired in clinical and experimental settings.
We require someone with a Masters' or a Bachelors' degree with Honours
(Second Class Honours, Division One or better) in Engineering, Physics
or Mathematics. Undergraduate experience in computer modelling,
imaging and physiology would be an advantage.
If you have any queries in relation to this position, contact Dr
Jichao Zhao (0064-9 923 6505, j.zhao@auckland.ac.nz).
