"Through
SEEK, a researcher will be able to use ecological niche
modeling, a tool that identifies a crop's preferred habitat,
or combination of temperature, rainfall, altitude, and
other factors. This gives predictions or 'educated guesses'
about which crops will grow best in a given area." |

Tony
Keaveny, a professor of mechanical
engineering and
bioengineering at UC
Berkeley, has
been using the resources
of NPACI to develop
models of human bones.
The work of Keaveny's
group will eventually
help researchers, clinicians,
and ordinary physicians
prevent and treat a variety
of bone diseases.
