pbd

Posted on January 12, 2005 by Dan Gezelter

pbd is an ODE solution package, written in C, and based on the PBD method of van Bokhoven (IEEE Trans. on Circuits and Systems, v CAS-22, no 2, Feb. 1975, pp109-115). pbd provides a callable function, pbd(), which is intended to be called from user supplied code as part of a larger simulation or computation. It consists of fairly simple code, and is released under the GNU General Public License:

kogeo seismic toolkit

Posted on December 27, 2004 by Dan Gezelter

The kogeo seismic toolkit is an open source application for 2d and 3d seismic data analysis under Windows. kogeo offers a variety of data analysis tools, such as ‘regular’ and multi-trace attributes or neural network and attribute cross-plot classifiers. Data from various sources (even bitmaps) can be imported to kogeo for stand-alone analysis or to be stored in easy-to-handle project databases.

Jmol grows up

Posted on December 22, 2004 by Dan Gezelter

The first of the OpenScience Projects was Jmol, and this molecular dynamics viewer has now reached an important milestone. After a complete rewrite of the code and rendering engine, the Jmol development team has released version 10.. Some new features are scripting and all sorts of display options (ribbons, substructure coloring) which are useful for display of proteins and nucleic acids. Check it out!

Also, we recently added a link to Science Magazine’s article on the NIH Public Access Policy in our Required Reading section.
