The Catholic Imagination: An Incoherent Idea?
About The Institute for Human Ecology. In response to Pope Francis’s plea in Laudato Sí for an “ecological conversion” for the faithful, and the development of a properly human ecology, the Institute for Human Ecology at The Catholic University of America seeks to promote an integrated understanding of human beings in their relationships with one another, with society, and with the natural world in the light of both reason and faith. The institute is dedicated to rigorous multi-disciplinary academic research and public outreach at the intersection of Catholic social teaching, environmental stewardship, and economic development.
The institute will sponsor and organize research, analyze public policy, publish national studies, work closely with lawmakers, policymakers and Church leaders, train and promote its own cadre of students and young researchers, and offer symposia, conferences, debates, and lectures for academia and the public square.
The Catholic Church brings a distinct perspective to the discussion of environmental and economic questions. This contribution calls us to care for creation and for “the least of these.” (Mt 25:40). Inspired by biblical revelation and natural law, the “Catholic way” is ultimately rooted in a profound sense of human ecology that understands nature as a creation and that does not divorce the well-being of creation from that of human beings.

Abstract: Cloud computing has played an important role in Information technology. Computational and storage needs are fulfilled by cloud providers around the globe by setting up data centers that involve thousands of servers (Xu, Li, Niu, & Zhao, 2012). Different users operate many virtual machines, leading to more energy utilization and more power consumption. This issue can be resolved by the concept of load balancing; load balancing is an effective method for the system that works in a distributed method. This Load balancing concept helps in making cloud computing technology more efficient and fulfills the user needs more prominently. This paper will consider different load balancing algorithms and autoscaling to resolve load imbalance. We will compare different load balancing services of various cloud providers in the market.

Medical Instrumentation
“The Agnew Clinic” 1889 / Thomas Eakins
Most US states have marquee medical research and clinical delivery enterprises; most of them associated with one or more research universities. In many cases, these enterprises deliver the bulk of revenue to the university system; a topic we cover separately every month during our Healthcare teleconferences (See our CALENDAR).
Save for power and information and communication technology, the safety and sustainability requirements for university-affiliated healthcare systems are virtually identical to private, for-profit healthcare systems; even those for-profit systems that appropriate the word “university” in order to secure their brand. To be fair, most of them are “teaching hospitals”, though the medical profession (like most other professions) are always teaching. Conversely, many universities have close financial ties to for-profit healthcare systems. Students learn from off-campus clinical experience.
Both entities benefit from the possibility that cutting edge research is only footsteps away from the patient bed; and vice-versa — especially in cases where the university-affiliated hospital is the location for compassionate “right-to-try” treatment. University-affiliated hospitals have a statistical profile that should be understood in light of being the locus of last-resort treatment.
The AAMI bears the imprimateur of very well-financed non-profit organization; as one might expect for an organization servicing an industry that is about 25 percent of United States gross domestic product. The landing page for its standards catalog is linked below:
It is based in Arlington, Virginia, a city close to Washington D.C. that is home to many, many non-profit organizations. We maintain the AAMI catalog on the standing agenda of our Health colloquia. We also collaborate with the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society on a selection of healthcare electrotechnology issues related to medical instrumentation. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone. All war stories and data — even anecdotal, messy data — are welcomed.
