Fisher Matrix

The Fisher Matrix is the backbone of modern cosmological forecasting. We describe the Fisher4Cast software: A general-purpose, easy-to-use, Fisher Matrix framework. It is open source, rigorously designed and tested and includes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) with automated LATEX file creation capability and point-and-click Fisher ellipse generation. Fisher4Cast was designed for ease of extension and, although written in Matlab, is easily portable to open-source alternatives such as Octave and Scilab. Here we use Fisher4Cast to present new 3D and 4D visualizations of the forecasting landscape and to investigate the effects of growth and curvature on future cosmological surveys. Early releases have been available at since mid-2008. The current release of the code is Version 2.2 which is described here. For ease of reference a Quick Start guide and the code used to produce the figures in this paper are included, in the hope that it will be useful to the cosmology and wider scientific communities.

Analysis of contact points between wheel and rail during the wheel climb is of interest to railroad application engineers. In this study the climb maneuver of a wheelset is modeled in a general purpose multi-body system computer program. This model then is used to generate the contact data for a climbing wheelset. A graphical user interface is developed which uses this contact data and generates several contact points charts. In developing the graphical user interface, mouse and keyboard events as well as other controls are used to make the interface interactive and intuitive.

Described here are instructions for building and using an inexpensive automated microscope (AMi) that has been specifically designed for viewing and imaging the contents of multi-well plates. The X, Y, Z translation stage is controlled through dedicated software (AMiGUI) that is being made freely available. Movements are controlled by an Arduino-based board running grbl, and the graphical user interface and image acquisition are controlled via a Raspberry Pi microcomputer running Python. Images can be written to the Raspberry Pi or to a remote disk. Plates with multiple sample wells at each row/column position are supported, and a script file for automated z-stack depth-of-field enhancement is written along with the images. The graphical user interface and real-time imaging also make it easy to manually inspect and capture images of individual samples.

X-Light is an open-source software that is written in Python with a graphical user interface. X-Light was developed to determine residual stress by X-ray diffraction. This software can process the 0D, 1D and 2D diffraction data obtained with laboratory diffractometers or synchrotron radiation. X-Light provides several options for stress analysis and five functions to fit a peak: Gauss, Lorentz, Pearson VII, pseudo-Voigt and Voigt. The residual stress is determined by the conventional sin2ψ method and the fundamental method.

The Military Scenario Definition Language (MSDL) is an approved SISO standard for describing components of military scenarios that can be shared across a variety of modeling and simulation systems. However, the “last mile problem” for MSDL development is to have a user interface that represents information flowing to/from C2 and simulation systems. We have developed an open-source Toolset for this purpose: MSDL Scenario Editing Toolset (MSDLSET), providing an easy-to-use graphical user interface to MSDL developers that can serve as a surrogate input/output GUI or alternately to generating MSDL file. MSDLSET is developed using other open-source Tools: Xcentric's JaxFront and BBN's OpenMap. MSDLSET provides easy and efficient means for the end user to edit validate and add MSDL components to the MSDL file. Numerous initiatives are in progress to employ the new Toolset and to realize the benefits of exchanging scenarios files across diverse systems.

Microplates are an essential tool used in laboratories for storing research materials and performing assays. Many types of laboratory automation exist that greatly reduce the effort needed to utilize microplates; however, there are cases where the use of such automation is not feasible or practical. In these instances, researchers must work in an environment where liquid handling operations are performed manually with handheld pipetting devices. This type of work is tedious and error-prone as it relies on researchers to manually track a significant amount of metadata, including transfer volumes, plate barcodes, well contents, and well locations. To address this challenge, we have developed an open-source, semiautomated benchtop system that facilitates manual pipetting using visual indicators. This device streamlines the process of identifying the location of wells so that the researcher can perform manual transfers in a more efficient, reliable, and accurate manner. This system utilizes a graphical user interface that allows the user to load worklists and then issues commands to illuminate wells of interest, providing a visual indicator for users to follow in real time. The software and hardware tools utilized for development, along with the implementation techniques used to produce this system, are described within.

Proteomic challenges, stirred up by the advent of high-throughput technologies, produce large amount of MS data. Nowadays, the routine manual search does not satisfy the “speed” of modern science any longer. In our work, the necessity of single-thread analysis of bulky data emerged during interpretation of HepG2 proteome profiling results for proteoforms searching. We compared the contribution of each of the eight search engines (X!Tandem, MS-GF[Formula: see text], MS Amanda, MyriMatch, Comet, Tide, Andromeda, and OMSSA) integrated in an open-source graphical user interface SearchGUI ( http://searchgui.googlecode.com ) into total result of proteoforms identification and optimized set of engines working simultaneously. We also compared the results of our search combination with Mascot results using protein kit UPS2, containing 48 human proteins. We selected combination of X!Tandem, MS-GF[Formula: see text] and OMMSA as the most time-efficient and productive combination of search. We added homemade java-script to automatize pipeline from file picking to report generation. These settings resulted in rise of the efficiency of our customized pipeline unobtainable by manual scouting: the analysis of 192 files searched against human proteome (42153 entries) downloaded from UniProt took 11[Formula: see text]h.
