Statistical Computations with AstroGrid and the Grid

We outline our first steps towards marrying two new and emerging technologies; the Virtual Observatory (e.g, AstroGrid) and the computational grid. We discuss the construction of VOTechBroker, which is a modular software tool designed to abstract the tasks of submission and management of a large number of computational jobs to a distributed computer system. The broker will also interact with the AstroGrid workflow and MySpace environments. We present our planned usage of the VOTechBroker in computing a huge number of n-point correlation functions from the SDSS, as well as fitting over a million CMBfast models to the WMAP data.Comment: Invited talk to appear in "Proceedings of PHYSTAT05: Statistical Problems in Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology

Crown gall in Oregon grapevines : biology and treatment of planting stock with hot water dips [1995-1996]

Oregon is a leader in production of premium wines in the United States and the industry has been expanding rapidly over the past few years. However, continued production and expansion of vineyards are threatened by infestation of phylloxera, Daktulospaira vitifoliae, an insect that feeds on roots. Most grapevines in Oregon are growing on their own roots and are susceptible to phylloxera. The use of phylloxera-resistant rootstocks has increased as growers and nurserymen are moving to replace susceptible plants. However, the grafting process provides wounds that can become infected by the crown gall bacterium, Agrobacterium vitis, naturally present within the vascular system of some grape rootstocks and/or scion wood. The goal of our research is to prevent crown gall in phylloxera-resistant grapevines. There are several potential ways to achieve this goal: 1) to eradicate tumorigenic bacteria within the plant material by hot water treatments, 2) to introduce biological control agents at the wound site in grafted plants, and 3) to select rootstocks and scion woods that are resistant to crown gall disease
