Tools And Methods

Open grazing or free-range grazing is one of the methods employed by the Nigeria nomadic cattle herders to provide pasture for their cattle. This method of providing pasture for cattle comes with so many challenges among which are cow swapping, ownership disputes, rustling and cow intrusion to farmland. Some existing methods of guiding against these challenges are expensive, injurious, and unreliable to apply. The objective of this paper is to develop an enhanced and affordable software package for cow recognition and identification using a graphical user interface and information encoding method. Data analysis module with software application for the analysis of the generated code is proposed; the software application installed on a computer or smart-phone may be standalone or otherwise. Data about individual cow is digitally collected, coded and stored using necessary resources, tools, and methods. Moreover, by tagging individual cow with the generated code, and matching the code with the ones in the database using code reader, individual cow can be recognized and identified.Keywords: Open grazing; Free-range grazing; Nomadic herder; Cow identification; Pasture.

EosFit7-GUIis a full graphical user interface designed to simplify the analysis of thermal expansion and equations of state (EoSs). The software allows users to easily perform least-squares fitting of EoS parameters to diffraction data collected as a function of varying pressure, temperature or both. It has been especially designed to allow rapid graphical evaluation of both parametric data and the EoS fitted to the data, making it useful both for data analysis and for teaching.

Design And Testing

A useful development and testing tool for Hewlett Packard paper handling and/or printer devices is presented.The system provides a microprocessor based general architecture integrated by two PCB cards and a software application, used to improve new product design and testing. Paper handling devices operation is based on DC motors, stepper motors and sensors components, so a graphical user interface was developed in order to configure, drive, and test them. The implemented tool allows a time reduction greater than 50% for the development and test of prototypes.

AbstractWe have developed a versatile instrument for in situ measurement of motions of MEMS. Images of MEMS are magnified with an optical microscope and projected onto a CCD camera. Stroboscopic illumination is used to obtain stop-action images of the moving structures. Stopaction images from multiple focal planes provide information about 3D structure and 3D motion. Image analysis algorithms determine motions of all visible structures with nanometer accuracy.Hardware for the system includes the microscope, CCD camera and associated frame grabber, piezoelectric focusing element, and a modular stimulator that generates arbitrary periodic waveforms and synchronized stroboscopic illumination. These elements are controlled from a Pentium-based computer using a graphical user interface that guides the user through both data collection and data analysis. The system can measure motions at frequencies as high as 5 MHz with nanometer resolution, i.e., well below the wavelength of light.

Modeling biochemical systems can provide insights into behaviors that are difficult to observe or understand. It requires software, programming, and understanding of the system to build a model and study it. Softwares exist for such systems biology modeling, but most support only certain types of modeling tasks. Desirable features including ease in preparing input, symbolic or analytical computation, parameter estimation, graphical user interface, and systems biology markup language (SBML) support are not seen concurrently in one software package. In this study, we developed a python-based software that supports these features, with both deterministic and stochastic propagations. The software can be used by graphical user interface, command line, or as a python import. We also developed a semi-programmable and intuitively easy topology input method for the biochemical reactions. We tested the software with semantic and stochastic SBML test cases. Tests on symbolic solution and parameter estimation were also included. The software we developed is reliable, well performing, convenient to use, and compliant with most of the SBML tests. So far it is the only systems biology software that supports symbolic, deterministic, and stochastic modeling in one package that also features parameter estimation and SBML support. This work offers a comprehensive set of tools and allows for better availability and accessibility for studying kinetics and dynamics in biochemical systems.
