Software Programming - Science topic

I am basically looking for a free or limited functionality in a software that enables me merge, remove a page and convert a PDF file to word and back. Does anyone have suggestions? I have appreciations!

Have a nice day everyone, I've created a watershed model via WEAP software for modeling water budget of a basin. Now, I'm planning to construct another model using another software/program for modeling the same area and compare different models' performances.

Lastly, I'd like to ask you about "Pysheds" model's weaknesses and strenghts, plus I'd be so glad if you could share with me tutorials through which I can figure out basics of "Pysheds"

Thanks in advance

Please I need suggestion of research works done that can be used as best model and/or helpful software programs.

I thank you in advance for you time & kindness!

Hello everyone:

I am looking for a simple software program to model chemical bonds. The purpose is to generate a high-quality graphical abstract for a top leading journal in the field of chemistry. I am not interested in professional programs like Photoshop as I don't have enough time to learn. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advanced!

I understand there are a lot of software programs that can simulate DED by going through specific modeling, simulation, and commands. For me, that was time consuming and results were not accurate. I am asking if there is a specific software that already has the DED process included.

For example, I have found some programs that come automatically equipped with modules/wizards to directly simulate FDM and PBF. However, I was not able to find one the has a module/wizard to directly simulate a DED process.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am looking for suggestions for a free software program to analyze fish monitoring videos. Our system is a single camera setup (so no need for measurement options yet) and I would like to be able to place points on individual fish (in a still frame of the video) and code to a species. Is there anything like that available? Thanks for any suggestions!

Dear scholar Community,

Let peace up on you all scholars at all corners of the globe!

I submitted a paper of mine to one of the high ranking journals and the editor in chief sent me back the manuscript due to some similarities ocurred while preparing it, which he told me to rephrase those overlaps and resubmit it. For such cases, i have been using REF-N-WRITE Software before this time. However, this software was trial version which was not fully activated. Hence, currently, the software needs purchasing its full access which i can not afford it. So that, with this quiry writing i kindly seek for help?

1) If there is any means how to get the full version of my previos software that might be via cracking? Or If there is anyone who already purchased the softwares' full acces?

2) If there is any other software developed for this purpose?

Hint: most software programs that are freely accessible on the google are not efficient. Most of them are biased. They plagiarize even, a well writtten manusrcript!

Thank You Inadvance!

Because of the Corona pandemic and its restrictions I am planning to do real-time focusgroups online instead of face-to-face. I looking for the best software to use, that is easy to install and use by participants on their home pc's or smarphones. It would also be nice to be able to record the meetings. So, if the app/software supports this, this would be a plus.

Namely, I did not manage to find any sound scientific paper on creating value within the software value chain. I use the conceptualisation of the generic software value chain proposed by Pussep, A. et al. (2011 and 2012), but I am still not completely sure which parts of VC are higher value-added vs. lower value-added elements. In other words, I still wonder if software programming (coding) is among lower value-added activities?

Plagiarism is a serious problem in publication. It is the intention not to cite others work. It is mostly the use of other people’s ideas and words without giving the original author appropriate acknowledgement. Another form of ghostwriting is "faking or camouflaging" other writing or publication as a way of "writers' laundering. This practice is known as ghostwriting which hiring a writer (or writers) to write an anonymous article or a piece of work for someone else and publish without acknowledgment.

In a 12-meter-long straight channel, a gate with a pneumatic jack has been employed at about a meter before the butterfly outlet gate (used for adjusting the water height) so that it would be used to generate positive surge. When the gate is closed suddenly (in about 0.2 second), it causes an increase in the flow depth and thus conversion of the flow from steady to unsteady, the fact which results in wave progress. I would like to know whether this type of positive surge resulting from sudden closure of the gate (whether with an approximately 2.5 cm opening, or with a complete closure) could be modeled in a straight channel using Flow3D? what software program may be used for its simulation?

I am curious what people think about this premise:

There is no single software program to use in the learning process, rather it will be that students will program their own software as part of their learning process.

We have performed Clariom-S microarray-based transcriptome and TMT-MS based proteomics analysis on healthy and patient samples.

Our idea was to study the correlation between gene- and protein expression between healthy and patient samples, for which we have calculated an overall mean Spearman coefficient for all the genes- vs proteins-expression correlation. More specifically, I have identified 8000 genes common in both gene and protein study, and calculated mean correlation coefficient. I obtained a Spearman coefficient value of 0.58 for this dataset. 

Further, what we are interested in doing is: calculating pair-wise Correlation between mRNA and protein expression of all 8000 individual gene-protein pairs so as to create figures (as shown in Fig. 2a in Paper -2 and Fig. 3a in Paper1 attached here).

I was wondering if you could provide any insights into how to perform such an analysis. To my knowledge, most researchers use program ‘R’ to find such gene-wise correlation. Unfortunately, I have no experience with using this program. Is there any software/program that I can use for this.

I would much appreciate any help/advice.

Thank you!!!

I am looking for some software to analyse fish behaviour and activity (for instance swimming velocity and fast startle response) from video recorded files.

Hello,

The lack of standardized and validated programming assessment instruments, make it difficult to evaluate programming interventions (1). Also, statistical effect size calculator is affected as the combination of results is influenced by the heterogeneous measurements adopted (2).

My main objective is to create a collaborative list of instruments which can be used to measure different variables relevant in the programming learning context, such as motivation, learning, self-efficacy and others.

I ask for the help of my peers in this mission. Thanks.

Why do most existing finite element software programs (e.g., SAP2000, OpenSEES) require displacement rather than acceleration time histories as input motions when performing multiple-support excitation analysis?

Hello all. I am a synthetic inorganic chemist who worked on gold clusters for application in heterogeneous catalysis during my PhD few years ago. Now I am trying to learn some computational calculations (I am a beginner) to gain insight and (as complementary knowledge) about catalytic reactions using metal clusters. Here is the case: I made Ru3(CO)12 and deposited on TiO2 nanoparticles (30 nm) for photoreduction of CO2. There is some evidence from XAFS data that there is a significant population of Ru3 on TiO2 (and of course aggregated, larger ones). I have been reading about DFT, Ab Initio, semi-empirical methods but some are hard to grasp by a synthetic chemist like me. What I want to do is to calculate the interaction of CO2 with Ru3 clusters on TiO2 like the binding energy of CO2 on Ru3 clusters, adsorption/desorption and dissociation of CO2 on Ru3 clusters. My questions are:

1) what kind of quantum mechanical calculations is more accurate or preferred (faster with some approximations)? Is it DFT or Ab initio or Molecular Mechanics/Dynamics or Quantum Monte Carlo or semi-empirical or some other methods?

2) is there free software/program to perform such calculations. I know Quantum Espresso, Orca, GAMESS, VASP are free-of-charge. What about free DFT software/program packages? Are there any?

3) is it possible to do with a normal laptop at home (without super large memory and disk from computational facilities at institution/university/research centre?

I talked to some computational chemists and they told me even for such a small system, it takes ages to perform such calculations - they also advice me that I could do another PhD for computational calculations because it takes years to learn. :-) First, DFT scales with N^3 (or N^4?) as the number of atoms increase. Plus, interaction of CO2 with Ru3 clusters is not quite ideal because my catalyst is Ru3/TiO2. CO2 might adsorb on Ru3, or at the interface between Ru3 and TiO2, or at TiO2 but dissociate at Ru3 clusters. And finally they told me that normal laptops don't work no matter how expensive the laptop is i.e. great memory and disk. Eventually I need a desktop connected to computational facilities at a university/institution/research center.

Any advice where should I start?

Prior to the actual training of movement in rehabilitation with a medical device, it is often necessary to introduce the exercise and the way the device and/or the training software (program) works, and how the feedback and the movement are tied together. But how can you define the threshold for: the patient has understood the task and is now ready to proceed to the actual training (with less or no assistance). What are feasable markers or parameters (e.g., time to achieve a goal, number of successful repetitions, etc.)? And how can you best show and teach the exercise?

We have all items linked to this method except the BioNumerics software program for interpreting my results. Can anyone propose me an alternative method or can send me this BioNumerics software program for PFGE, or may be an online version of such software program. Thank you so much for your help!

I am looking for ways of testing statistically whether two treatments are synergistic, additive or antagonistic that work for an experiment in which one of the two treatment substances has only been administered in one dose.

Specifically, the experiment to be analyzed consisted of giving 8 different doses (plus a control group with a dose of 0) of the cancer drug Gemcitabine to a culture of cancer cells. The number of surviving cancer cells were measured. The same experiments were also run with the additional treatment with caffeine.

The software programs I have tried so far (Combenefit and Compusyn) require at least 2 different doses (plus the 0 dose) of each treatment.

I am trying to assess the genetic diversity of the data set. However whenever i am using a software program, i am unable to construct a input file. I am really stuck at calculating the allellic frequency and other very basic input parameters. I request someone to kindly make me understand such analysis in very layman terms. Thank you in advance.

I have a very old XRD program that uses .jcp files for mineral identification. In order to generate the .jcp file, I had another program that was used to examine, pick peaks and create the .jcp file. However, this program no longer works on more modern versions of windows and the old PC on which it worked has now died.

So..... I am keen to find out if there is a very basic XRD software program (preferably free)  that can be used to very quickly examine XRD profiles (.cpi  RAW), pick peaks and generate a .jcp file.

I have access to a more sophisticated search match / processing software program (but it is unable to create .jcp files). To continue using the much older XRD search-match program that requires the .jcp file seems like a step backwards. However the program has proved very useful on occasions in the identification of more 'exotic' mineral precipitates and am keen to retain this capacity as a back up.

Recommendations appreciated

When a software program is tested with its corresponding test suites, the test coverage is needed for analysis. Therefore, how can i get the test coverage of the program tested.

Assume that, In my class I have 40 student.Now I have to find out, these student know programming or not. To find out that, what type of procedure (prediction) I should follow. In future I can check the other student by this process without check them.

For testing someone pick up a student randomly and automatically tell that is the student know programming or not.

Actually I need some idea about this. I find out few solution. Now I want some more.

I want to build a system that observe cardiac signals from a pacient via a webpage and this webpage should be optimize for Android system, like an Android APP. This signals will be recorded by a arduino set in the chest, and will send via bluetooth the recorded signals to the Android App after to an a database that is connected as same as the webpage.

Someone advised to me that use HTML to build this system, but i want alternatives.

Please I really need help on my project EE323 (Digital Control System) which is a robot simulate a segway. 

I want to know the steps on how to derive a TF of a controller which control the upright position of a robot (segway), the robot have to be balance itself. Any suggestion of software programming and a type of controller apart from PID also would help. 

I am working on safety critical system and now I am attempting to introduce a software technique for control flow checking. Control Flow Error or CFE which happens due to the transient fault should be addressed at the design phase. Now, I completed the technique which written in c language and for evaluation I need a tool to implement fault injection. My technique should work both for single and multi-threaded programs. The fault injection tool that I need should not change the number of instructions in the target program and the fault model selected is SEU or single error upset (bit-flip). Fault injector routine will just make a bit flip in EIP register or in any general purpose registers.

I have read more and more about SWFI software fault injection tools and let me explain it briefly. SWFI are used time in term of introducing a software interruption (for example signals in Unix-like systems). For example, assume that we have a simple c program. We can install a signal (I prefer using "sigaction" with sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO) and wait for an incoming signal (ualarm(x,0), then the kernel move control to sa_sigaction handler which has 3 arguments. The most important one is the third argument which is void *context (pointer to the machine specific context). Now, we can modify this structure in order to perform data error or control flow error which implemented by playing with gregs[REG_EIP].

ucontext_t *context = (ucontext_t *)contextt;

context->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_EIP]= an appropriate value ;

see this: (this is not a good code, it is just for testing)

#include<stdio.h>

#define __USE_GNU

#include<signal.h>

#include<ucontext.h>

#include <stdio.h>

#include <unistd.h>

#include <signal.h>

#include <string.h>

static void hdl (int sig, siginfo_t *siginfo, void *contextt)

{

printf("signal caught\n");

ucontext_t *context = (ucontext_t *)contextt;

//here, I want to force the processor to jump

//to an appropriate address after finishing

//the hdl (signal handler). For example, assume

//that the signal is raised after finishing the

//instruction (printf("I am still alive 2\n");)

//and before the instruction (printf("I am still alive 3\n");).

//Now, As I understood, the gregs[REG_EIP] should hold the

//address of the instruction (printf("I am still alive 3\n");)

//I want to force the CPU to jump to the last

//instruction (printf("Iam still alive 5\n");)

// I tested very and very cases, but always segmentation

// fault has been occured.

// I think we should jump something like this:

// unsigned long is the length of instruction (as I know)

size_t size = sizeof(unsigned long);

context->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_EIP] += size;

}

int main (int argc, char *argv[])

{

struct sigaction act;

memset (&act, '\0', sizeof(act));

act.sa_sigaction = &hdl;

act.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;

sigaction(SIGALRM, &act, NULL);

ualarm (81, 0);

printf("I am still alive 1\n");

printf("I am still alive 2\n");

printf("I am still alive 3\n");

printf("I am still alive 4\n");

printf("I am still alive 5\n");

return 0;

}

The most confusing question is when we move to signal handler and get the EIP register from context, What does EIP really hold? interrupted instruction address? next instruction that will be executed after finishing signal handler? and how could we perform Control Flow Error and avoiding as possible as segmentation fault?

Thank you for any help. With regards.

There are some techniques for debugging for the software.

One of my friends has a company in Iran and they sell security cameras to the shops, banks, residential buildings and so on. The quality of captured images of these cameras is usually low and they need to use software to analyse these images to be able to recognise the Persian letters and digits on the plates. However, the software in the market cannot recognise Iranian letters and digits on the cars’ plate. Thus, can anybody help them by introducing specific software that they can buy? Or, is there anybody to program this kind of software for them?

I am currently trying to build a simulation of the electrophoretic deposition process with some known parameters and known equations.

There seem to be a large number of techniques for constructing orthogonal arrays. For instance, Addelman & Kempthorne (1961); Rao (1949) and Bose and Bush (1952) all constructed different ones. I am trying to grasp what orthogonal array to use for a 2⁴ fractional factorial design (so 4 factors on 2 levels each -> symmetrical). 

Some arrays are similar to each other (for instance, Taguchi's L8 array is identical to Addelman's (1962, p. 36) first basic plan. However, when following an earlier suggestion in this topic on Researchgate, the Minitab software program produces a totally different L8 (2⁷) array. The array book by Hedayat et al. (1999) provides some clarity, but seems to skip normal 2-level fractional designs.

During a session at the previously held AoM conference, on conjoint analysis, neither the presenter nor audience could explain what orthogonality meant for that particular experimental design. Moreover, in several recently published articles (in top journals) little insight is provided either in what orthogonal arrays were used.

I experience some confusion so I would like to ask: could someone please provide clarity as to what orthogonal array to follow for a 2⁴ plan and from who?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I am seeking a simulation program that can adequately account for qualitative benefits such as reputation, social value, corporate citizenship, environmental accountability, etc., as outcomes of the strategy-making process.  

Number of reports recently, where hiPSCs were used for generating various human tissues, have received a lot of media publicity. Of course, the scientific merit and the potential implications are enormous.. One report in Cell-October, 2014 on the Generation of Functional Human Pancreatic β Cells In Vitro (www.cell.com/abstract/S0092-8674(14)01228-8) from Prof. Melton lab at Harvard Stem Cell Institute is a game changer not just for drug discovery, but also in "hopefully curing" diabetes? Another in March 2015, from Prof. Healy lab, UC-Berkeley, on Human iPSC-based Cardiac Microphysiological System For Drug Screening Applications in Nature Press journal-Scientific Reports (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25748532) for bio-engineering of 3D heart.... 

Can hiPSCs-generated human tissues and system biology software programs replace animal studies, mimic drug metabolism and articulate disease profiling? Can we decipher Toxicogenomics and Pharmacogenomics using these tissues, and extrapolate these data sets to predict at least the SAFETY of a new drug molecule in human, thereby bye-passing phase-1 clinical trial?

I have done some calculations related to reaction mechanism of some reactions. I would like to model these in a protein, using qm/mm. What software would you suggest, which one is the most accepted by journals? In the top of this, if you know about a good description, tutorial kind of thing, is very welcome.

All of the features on DNASIS MAX aren't entirely necessary but the program I'm looking for must be able to perform complementation, translation, restriction sites, alignment (proteins, DNA), and motif searches. DNASIS MAX has a very efficient motif search ability. We have the DNASIS MAX program on hard copy for our PC but we have recently acquired a new Macbook Pro and we're trying to get all the software that we have on our PC onto this new Mac. I haven't been able to find a program similar to DNASIS MAX for Mac. I've come across a few that have some of the things that I'm looking for but leave out others. I need an all-in-one program.

I am trying to teach myself using sample data sets.

Hello there,

Which software or programming language do you recommend me for image processing? I want to improve the run time of a hybrid method which uses image processing before the main task. َApart from the facilities, the speed is very important to me.

Thank you so much.

Hi, I am looking for c++ library for tensor operations, which can perform as well tensor contraction. Before wrote my own one, probably somebody already developed such ?

It seems that the "eigen" is not finished  in this area,

and "ltensor" should be an alternative. Any experience?

It is very obvious to me that typing the key word "computer architecture design" to any search machine will lead to logic design, or processor/interconnect/memory design. This fact comes from the concept proposed by von Neumann, that a computer comprises of processor, memory and interconnect. How about a computer that does not contain a processor or memory? I mean, if someone wants to design a totally new concept about computer, is there any tools/software/programming languages can be used? I thought about Hardware description languages. This is one option. Is there any other options? Using Python or Matlab to model the behavior of computer architecture at the first stage - is this a good idea? 

I have implemented a packet broadcasting application in C, but while I am running the program they print the error: bind: Address already in use.
