Many of you will be aware that we have recently experienced a few
hardware failures on the YNiC computing cluster. We have now escalated
these issues and the manufacturer has committed to attend on site to
attempt to resolve the existing issues. Without being too technical,
this process is essentially an overhaul of the current cluster and
requires two engineers.
Obviously, we are doing out utmost to get your cluster up and running
again but, considering the scale of the job, please be patient. We will
keep you updated.
Thanks,

Dear All,
We have a system for providing CDs at YNiC. However, such is the number of
requests we have to deal with, we now need to rethink how to provide the
anatomical scan data to participants. What’s even more frustrating, is
that although we have a system that alerts participants that their CD is
ready, 58 remain uncollected. We are therefore being asked to allocate
considerable resource to generating CDs that the participants subsequently
have little or no interest in.
Rethink: Moving forward, we will allow researchers to create data CDs for
their participants. The researcher will need to provide their own CD and
execute a script. The script, 'Create subject CD', can be run from the
'Applications' menu under 'YNiC Utilities'. Please follow the instructions
given by the script and note that you (1) have to have the permission of
the participant (2) make sure that the participant receives the CD [you may
want to record their signature] and (3) you record who you have sent CDs to.
Andre is also putting a webpage together to give guidance.

Requests to YNiC for data CDs will no longer be met after 1/11/2016.
Thank you

Hello All,
It has been noted that investigators are sometimes asking potential
participants screening questions in reception and other areas where
confidential answers may be overheard. Please make appropriate
arrangements to ensure the confidentiality of your participants responses.
Many thanks

Hello everyone,
To avoid confusion for those recently joining the ynic user community,
Thursday seminars are announced, usually early in the week. This week there
is no seminar.
Best wishes
