Hi everyone
I'm pleased to announce that the Siemens mechanical fault has now been
fixed - the drive that moves the table into the scanner has been replaced,
and everything is running smoothly now. Scanning will continue as normal
from tomorrow.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Kind regards
Lauren

Hi everyone
This week we have a few notices to communicate with you.
*Siemens Bed Repair:*
We are currently experiencing a mechanical fault with the Siemens table.
Engineers are due to attend Tuesday AM to resolve the issue. Users
affected by this fault today and tomorrow have already been contacted, and
we will keep YNiC-users updated via this mailing list.
*Project Presentation - Thursday 4pm:*
This week we have a project presentation from Martin Scott on *Thursday at
4pm* in YNiC open plan, titled: "Effects of 670nm photobiomodulation on
mitochondrial function in the human brain". Talks are followed by
refreshments.
*Safety Screening Form:*
Further to Tony's announcement last week, we would like to remind all
operators (and users who may be involved in screening participants) that
the following text now appears on YNiC safety forms:
"It is essential that all questions on this sheet are answered truthfully.
This information is essential in order to ensure your safety and will be
kept completely confidential. If you do not want to answer any question(s)
on this form you are free to withdraw from this scanning session without
any prejudice."
Please read this text to potential participants *before* you ask the
questions on the form, some of which can be personal in nature and which
some individuals may not wish to answer. Copies of the safety forms can be
found on the YNiC website (https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/forms), please
familiarise yourself with all text on these forms before your next scanning
session.
*User Inductions:*
If you are aware of any new students/staff that will require access to YNiC
and/or an IT account, they must attend a YNiC user induction. Our next
induction date will be Wednesday 30th October at 2pm. Please ask them to
contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up.
Hope you have a great week!
Cheers

Hello All,
I wanted to highlight the following text that now appears on YNiC MRI
safety screening forms:
"It is essential that all questions on this sheet are
answered truthfully. This information is essential in order to ensure
your safety and will be kept completely confidential. If you do not want
to answer any question(s) on this form you are free to withdraw from

Please read this text to potential participants before you ask the
questions on the form, some of which can be personal in nature and which
some individuals may not wish to answer.
Thank you

Hi everyone
This is a reminder that Mark Hymers will be running a seminar this
afternoon at 4pm in the YNiC open plan, on how to use the YNiC cluster for
processing data.
It will be worthwhile for new or existing YNiC users that haven't
previously used the cluster, and may need to make use of it for upcoming
data analysis.
We hope to see you this afternoon.
Cheers
Lauren

Good afternoon everyone
We have a few notices for you today:
*Thursday Seminar - Using the Cluster:*
Mark Hymers will be running a session this Thursday on how to use the
cluster at YNiC. We encourage users to attend if they are unfamiliar with
how to send jobs to the cluster for processing. The session will be held
at *4pm on Thursday 10th October in YNiC open plan*.
*Remote Desktop:*
We have made some configuration changes to the remote desktop, so if you
are experiencing any issues please follow these steps on the wiki:
https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/RemoteDesktop#FAQ_and_errors
Please note that you must be connected to the University of York VPN, and
should also have followed the latest remote desktop server setup guidelines
(https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/RemoteDesktop).
*YNiC User Inductions:*
Hopefully everyone that needed an induction was able to attend the two
large sessions we put on last week, but if there are any other
students/staff that will require an IT account for YNiC, our next induction
date will be Wednesday 30th October at 2pm. Please ask them to contact
support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up.
Hope you all have a great week.
Kind regards
