AbstractHuman fMRI studies examining the putative firing of grid cells (i.e., the grid code) suggest that this cellular mechanism supports not only spatial navigation, but also more abstract cognitive processes. This research area, however, remains relatively unexplored, perhaps us to the complexities of data analysis. To overcome this, we have developed the Matlab-based Grid Code Analysis Toolbox (GridCAT), providing a graphical user interface, and open-source code, for the analysis of fMRI data. The GridCAT performs all analyses, from estimation and fitting of the grid code in the general linear model, to the generation of grid code metrics and plots. Moreover, it is flexible in allowing the specification of bespoke analysis pipelines; example data are provided to demonstrate the GridCAT’s main functionality. We believe the GridCAT is essential to opening this research area to the imaging community, and helping to elucidate the role of human grid codes in higher-order cognitive processes.HighlightsThe putative firing of grid cells (i.e., the grid code) can be examined using fMRINecessary steps for grid code analysis are reviewedThe Matlab-based grid code analysis toolbox (GridCAT) is introducedAutomated grid code analysis can be conducted either via a graphical user interface or open-source codeA detailed manual and an example dataset are provided

There are many tools that are used for simulation in the domain of VLSI technology but none of them are easily accessible. There is a need for Free and open source tools in this stream so as to make them accessible to everyone. There are efficient tools that already exist in open source in VLSI stream but are not used widely because of their command line user interface. Hence, creating a user friendly interface will help many developers and users to work easily. This paper deals with the idea to solve the above issue by creating a Graphical User Interface for the open source VLSI tool called QFlow. Qflow is a tool used in synthesizing a VLSI circuit from the Verilog source code. There are multiple tools integrated with this tool to assure the simulation process. It is a combination of many dependencies that are used for synthesis, placement, layout viewing and routing in a fabrication process. All the independent tools used for the Verilog code simulation are integrated onto a single platform. Qt is used for creating the cross-stage application.

This chapter has discussed the technical aspects of the electronic customer relationship management intelligence (E-CRM). The paper has mainly focused on the technological development, as well as, IT implementation of the E-CRM intelligence. Different engines of E-CRM together with the recent technological trends have also been included in the discussion. Towards the end the paper has provided a simple open source code that has been used to develop CRM related applications. The code is intended to illustrate the E-CRM idea and also the results. The paper can be found useful in analyzing technical reviews on electronic customer relationship management.
