Scientific software useful for the Undergraduate Physics Laboratory Windows Microcal Origin Origin is quite well distributed within the scientific community and is used in some of the research groups in the Faculty of Physics and Geosciences in Leipzig. There is a license available for students. Origin 8 and 7.5 might be downloaded from http://research.uni-leipzig.de/zno/Software/ . This website is accessible from your computer at home via a VPN connection (see https://www.urz.uni-leipzig.de/hilfe/anleitungen-a-z/vpn/ ). Running Origin requires a connection to the license server; this is unproblematic, if you computer is logged in into the University network; from home, it should sufficient to run the VPN client on your computer. Alternatively, you might bring your notebook to the University, connect to the wireless, start Origin and borrow the license for a maximum of 150 days. Please note that the license is automatically returned the next time you open Origin, when connected to the University network. For other options see Mac and Linux. Mac IGOR This is software from Wavemetrics; IGOR runs also under Windows. License for students? No idea. For other options see Linux. Linux Qtiplot Qtiplot is free software (in principle) and quite similar to Origin. It runs under Linux, Windows and Mac. The official site is (http://soft.proindependent.com/qtiplot.html). Qtiplot is provided in some GNU/Linux distributions (e.g., in the official repositories of Debian and Ubuntu). Windows binaries might be legally downloaded from http://www.cells.es/Members/cpascual/docs/unofficial-qtiplot- packages-for-windows. See also http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~zeven101/qtiplot.html. SciDavis SciDavis is a spin-off from Qtiplot. It runs under Windows, Mac and Linux and can be freely obtained from http://scidavis.sourceforge.net/. Labplot Labplot (http://labplot.sourceforge.net/) was built on the KDE platform and is available from Linux repositories. .

Visualization of Complex Function Graphs in Augmented Reality
M A G I S T E R A R B E I T Visualization of Complex Function Graphs in Augmented Reality ausgeführt am Institut für Softwaretechnik und Interaktive Systeme der Technischen Universität Wien unter der Anleitung von Univ.Ass. Mag. Dr. Hannes Kaufmann durch Robert Liebo Brahmsplatz 7/11 1040 Wien _________ ____________________________ Datum Unterschrift Abstract Understanding the properties of a function over complex numbers can be much more difficult than with a function over real numbers. This work provides one approach in the area of visualization and augmented reality to gain insight into these properties. The applied visualization techniques use the full palette of a 3D scene graph's basic elements, the complex function can be seen and understood through the location, the shape, the color and even the animation of a resulting visual object. The proper usage of these visual mappings provides an intuitive graphical representation of the function graph and reveals the important features of a specific function. Augmented reality (AR) combines the real world with virtual objects generated by a computer. Using multi user AR for mathematical visualization enables sophisticated educational solutions for studies dealing with complex functions. A software framework that has been implemented will be explained in detail, it is tailored to provide an optimal solution for complex function graph visualization, but shows as well an approach to visualize general data sets with more than 3 dimensions. The framework can be used in a variety of environments, a desktop setup and an immersive setup will be shown as examples. Finally some common tasks involving complex functions will be shown in connection with this framework as example usage possibilities.

PaN-data ODI Deliverable: D5.3 Abstract This report demonstrates and evaluates the services being developed within the PaN-data ODI project. A survey of the implementation status of these services at all participating institutes is in- cluded. The metadata catalogue plays a central role in the PaN-data project. Therefore it is dis- cussed how scientists benefit from this service. The status of the tomography database is re- viewed. Details of the NeXus deployment at various partners are presented. Eventually, three data processing frameworks, which are developed within the PaN-data community, are compared by implementing two scientific use cases.

Safety Safety in Our Lab Work and in Handling the Mealworms Tenebrio Molitor Was a Very Important Aspect of Our Project
Safety Safety in our lab work and in handling the mealworms Tenebrio molitor was a very important aspect of our project. From the very beginning, it was clear that only two team members were allowed in the lab. Therefore, we were following our Universities SARS-CoV-2 safety instructions. The two team members were also given a safety instruction regarding the measurements taken in the SARS- CoV-2 situation. The two team members also had a safety training for the lab facilities before start working in the laboratory. This included the topics: • Lab access and rules • Responsible individuals • Differences between biosafety levels • Biosafety equipment • Good microbial technique • Disinfection and sterilization • Emergency procedures • Transport rules • Physical biosafety • Personnel biosafety • Dual- use and experiments of concern • Data biosecurity • Chemicals, fire and electrical safety Additionally to the safety training, the team members were always working with lab coats, safety goggles, masks and gloves, especially when handling the mealworms. An instructor was present and supervising the experiments. Dr. Frank Bengelsdorf from the Institute of Microbiology and Biotechnology of Ulm University is our safety guide and overviewed the whole process of handling the mealworms, i.e. he controlled the way the mealworms are stored. Additionally, we are trained by experienced instructors who are familiar with the experimental procedures and the handling of invertebrates. This includes the insect husbandry, safely killing of the mealworms, and gut preparation. For more information, please view our Safety Form. Handling of organisms: Each experiment with the mealworms was performed in a laboratory at biosafety level 2, in order to handle risk of the mealworms infesting the lab.

Elenco di programmi open source Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera. Questo è un elenco di programmi open source: software rilasciato sotto una licenza open source. Programmi che rispettano la definizione di open source possono essere chiamati anche Software Libero; in particolare il progetto GNU è contrario all'uso di open source per indicare i suoi prodotti. Per ulteriori informazioni sul background filosofico del software open source, vedi movimento open source e movimento Software Libero. Tuttavia, quasi ogni programma che rispetti la Definizione di Open Source è anche Software Libero, e viceversa, e dunque è elencato qui.
