The functions of the Computer Core are to support the computing needs of the MRRC faculty, staff, and students within the broader framework of information technology (IT) support by the University, the School of Medicine and the NPI. The support provided includes hardware and software support for desktop and laptop computers, support for specialized computer controlled research equipment such as laser confocal microscopes, the laser capture microscope system, digital still and video cameras, and electrophysiological data acquisition devices. Assistance is provided in the design and development of research databases and web sites. Network servers are maintained for data storage, shared printer control, web site hosting and file transfer between MRRC faculty and colleagues at other institutions. The general model of computing support at UCLA and at the School of Medicine is of a distributed system. This model allows for rapid response to local issues and the possibility of having support personnel who are familiar with the people and the research programs in their area while at the same time having available to them the greater resources of the wider IT community. The interface between the local and broader community is the computing support coordinator (CSC, Dorwin Birt) for the MRRC. Regular meetings of the School of Medicine Computing Support Coordinators (SOM CSCs) are held to keep individual CSCs up to date on current network and security policies, to discuss mutual problems, to set general policies and to keep their local departments or units updated on these policies and issues. The MRRC Computer Core participates in these meetings. Purpose and Objectives The objectives of the Media/Graphics portion of the Communications Core are to provide members of the MRRC with assistance in preparation of their scientific data for presentation. This service includes conversion of raw data into graphic representations as well as production of illustrations, photographs, slides, posters, and digital presentations and prints. The service is both cost-efficient and convenient. We estimate that during the last year Media/Graphics realized a savings of approximately 50% to MRRC investigators over what the same services would have cost at Photographic Services in the UCLA Medical Center. Charges among outside vendors for similar services are 3-4 times higher.

计算机核心的功能是支持MRRC的计算需求 教师，工作人员和学生在更广泛的框架内的信息技术（IT）支持 由大学、医学院和NPI提供。提供的支持包括硬件 为台式和膝上型计算机提供软件支持，为专用计算机提供支持 控制研究设备，如激光共聚焦显微镜，激光捕获 显微镜系统、数码相机和摄像机以及电生理数据采集 装置.协助设计和开发研究数据库和网站 网站.维护网络服务器，用于数据存储、共享打印机控制、网站托管 以及MRRC教师和其他机构同事之间的文件传输。 加州大学洛杉矶分校和医学院的计算支持的一般模型是 分布式系统这种模式可以对当地问题作出快速反应， 有熟悉当地人民和研究项目的支持人员， 同时，他们还可以利用更广泛的IT资源， 社区本地和更广泛社区之间的接口是计算支持 MRRC协调员（CSC，Dorwin Birt）。医学院定期会议 计算支持协调员（SOM CSC）负责保持各个CSC的最新信息， 当前的网络和安全政策，讨论共同的问题，制定一般政策， 让他们的地方部门或单位了解这些政策和问题的最新情况。MRRC 计算机核心参与这些会议。 宗旨和目标 通信核心的媒体/图形部分的目标是提供 协助MRRC的成员准备他们的科学数据以供介绍。 这项服务包括将原始数据转换为图形表示以及制作 插图、照片、幻灯片、海报、数字演示文稿和印刷品。服务 既经济又方便。我们估计，在过去的一年里，媒体/图形 实现了大约50%的节省MRRC调查员比什么相同的服务 加州大学洛杉矶分校医疗中心的摄影服务费用。外部收费 类似服务的供应商要高出3-4倍。
