New EPFL research has found that almost half of local Twitter trending topics in Turkey are fake, a scale of manipulation previously unheard of. It also.
Mass scale manipulation of Twitter Trends discovered actu.epfl.ch - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from actu.epfl.ch Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.

The magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011 and the Thailand Floods of the same year were among the most destructive natural disasters in Natt Leelawat s lifetime.
For Leelawat who began graduate studies at Tokyo Tech as Japan and Thailand reeled from these disasters the year 2011 would mark a turning point in his life and career. What I learned from Tokyo Tech and being in Japan helped me clarify my interests, create new research on disaster risk reduction, and communicate my knowledge to a new generation of engineers and technologists, he says.
The burden is summed from 200 hPa to the model top at 10 hPa. (

2 injection at 20 km (dotted line), at 13.5 km (dashed line), and at 13.5 km including BC (solid line). For each scenario, the injection was over a 10-day period every June at the equator. (
B) Burden for the injection at 13.5 km including BC in latitude bands: Solid line is global, dashed line is 30°N to 30°S, dotted line is 30°N to 90°N, and dash-dotted line is 30°S to 90°S. The model is running in a free mode, so there is natural variability in the dynamics impacting the aerosol loading from year to year. It takes approximately 2 years to reach a pseudo equilibrium loading, and interannual variability is apparent in the last 4 years plotted.
The University of Wyoming has announced that a Wyoming middle school student has won a statewide competition to name one of the world’s fastest supercomputers.
The winning name, Derecho, (dr-ei-choe) is for the new system currently being installed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) at the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC) in Cheyenne. It was selected out of more than 200 submissions from Wyoming K-12 students as part of a naming competition that NCAR conducted in partnership with the Wyoming Department of Education and the Wyoming Governor’s Office.
“We are very excited to have such a meaningful name for this powerful new supercomputer,” Anke Kamrath, director of NCAR’s Computational & Information Systems Laboratory, said. “The state of Wyoming has been a wonderful home for the supercomputing center, and we could not be more pleased that ‘Derecho’ comes from a Wyoming student.”
