22 , 23, 24, and think 25 are already under "development". The 25th is nice because then on me Linux browser it will show as 5x5, when we're still here ;P
------------------------------------------//-- edit: "development" of course to be taken in the widest of terms... from received proposals evaluation to coding for Alpha. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jun 2, 2011 4:03:24 PM] |

22 , 23, 24, and think 25 are already under "development". Alrighty!! And now how about an authoritative word about the timelines... The 25th is nice because then on me Linux browser it will show as 5x5 (On Wintel -Firefox I only get 4xX. How is that?)But that is actually my primary goal: Earn a badge in every single project ever run by WCG. Getting to Sapphire adds the icing on the cake, but in the early days I did not have the oomph for that (and if y'all release five projects at the same time I may have to choose between missing out on the icing  or finding an excuse to buy another piece of iron! ).And then there is the ultra-profound matter of all the extra years it will take me to earn Snurk's Blue Planet! So, hmmm, on second thought, may be you techs should slow it down a bit!  edit: "development" of course to be taken in the widest of terms... from received proposals evaluation to coding for Alpha. Just as long Alpha implies Beta I am all for it!---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by JollyJimmy at Jun 3, 2011 2:21:04 PM] |

A vaccine against schistosomiasis has been developed by the guys who are/were going to run the Brazilian water project
----------------------------------------http://translate.google.pt/translate?js=n&...dias-contados&act=url I wonder if this project will ever be launched...  - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz [Edit 1 times, last edit by Falconet at Jul 16, 2011 11:08:28 AM] |

A vaccine against schistosomiasis has been developed by the guys who are/were going to run the Brazilian water project http://translate.google.pt/translate?js=n&...dias-contados&act=url I wonder if this project will ever be launched... Ok seems that Fiocruz, which is one of the two partners in this project, developed the vaccine. We'll see what happens... - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/32422.wss Good reading! "The University of Virginia Watershed Sustainability Project will use World Community Grid to power its "UVa Bay Game/Analytics" project, which models the effects of agricultural, commercial and industrial decisions on the Chesapeake Bay. This waterway is a vital estuary on the East Coast of the United States stretching 64,000 square miles with 11,600 miles of tidal shoreline, and home to nearly 17 million people. It will simulate and analyze the results of choices made by the sometimes-competing interests of fishermen, farmers, real estate developers, power plant designers, conservationists, forestry experts and urban planners. Better understanding the potential outcomes of complex, intersecting decisions can help society manage the watershed more effectively." A third initiative, to be run on World Community Grid out of Brazil's Inforium Bioinformatics, in collaboration with FIOCRUZ-Minas, is seeking to cure schistosomiasis, a significant, parasite-based disease prevalent in tropical regions that is incubated and transmitted via foul water. The World Health Organization lists this disease as highly necessary to control. It kills from 11,000 to 200,000 people every year and infects about 210 million individuals in 76 countries. It takes a severe toll on undeveloped countries, causing about 1.7 million disability-adjusted life-years of burden annually. While the drug Praziquantel has been largely effective in treating the disease for more than 25 years, drug-resistant strains are of concern. "Researchers will now seek to identify human protein targets for possible new drug treatments. They will use the World Community Grid to screen up to 13 million compounds found in the zinc.docking.org database against 180 protein structures involved with the parasite. While this may not lead to new drugs immediately, it will greatly augment the study of this disease by scientists around the world." So, the current Beta would have anything to do with this? (Beta logs show the usage of ZINC. Example: [13:05:15] ZINC11784309.pdbqt size = 29 4 ../../projects).  |

Hummmm ... ....  I guess it would be too much to hope one of them is a GPU project.  No it would not. I think so... I hope so... ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by BladeD at Aug 29, 2011 4:56:58 PM] |
