Crux 1.0.0
A free software toolkit for molecular phylogenetic inference that runs on (at least) Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD more>> A free software toolkit for molecular phylogenetic inference that runs on (at least) Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD
Crux is structured as a set of Python modules, which makes it possible to quickly develop Python scripts that perform unique, non-canned analyses.
The Python language is elegant and powerful, but it does not have any high performance implementations, which does make it a challenge to use for scientific computing.
Crux is actually implemented as a combination of Python, Cython and C code. Cython is a superset of Python, with various features that allow compiled results to substantially out-perform pure Python code.
The result is that Crux supports a wide variety of users:
- End users can use canned scripts, either those included with Crux, or scripts developed for them by computer-savvy collaborators.
- Computer-savvy users can develop custom scripts that utilize the components of Crux in unforseen ways.
- Power users can use Crux as a component of a custom software package, or extend Crux itself. The source code is available under a very permissive license, with the intent that it be used.
Main features:
- Multifurcating trees can be manipulated at a low level. Various standard operations are implemented, such as canonization (ordering the tree according to a ranking of the taxa), collapsing of zero-length branches, Robinson-Foulds distance computation, and so on.
- Parsers are included for various file formats, including Newick trees, FASTA sequences, and PHYLIP distance matrices.
- Pairwise distances between sequences can be computed based on percent identity, or using methods that correct for multiple hits (Jukes-Cantor, Kimura, and logDet).
- The neighbor joining (NJ) and relaxed neighbor joining (RNJ) implementations are among the fastest in existence, along with Clearcut.
- Tree log-likelihoods can be computed under a variety of models, including all specializations of GTR+I+? and mixture models. Tree likelihoods can be computed in parallel via pthreads. Additionally, Crux is capable of simulating character data under any model its likelihood engine is capable of. The huge range of simulation options makes a canned command line interface like that of Seq-Gen rather unweildy, so simulation is perhaps the most obvious compelling reason to develop Crux scripts.
- Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods (with Metropolis coupling and optional MPI support for parallel computation) can sample among non-nested models using reversible model jumps. Polytomous trees can be sampled, also via reversible jumps. In fact, every model parameter that Cruxs MCMC implementation estimates can be expunged via reversible jumps.
System requirements:
- Xcode (to build Crux from source)

BootPicker 2.1.2
Will help you deploy multi-boot Macs and permit your end users to choose whichever platform will work best. more>> Will help you deploy multi-boot Macs and permit your end users to choose whichever platform will work best.
BootPicker is a very useful tool because with the advent of Boot Camp comes the possibility of deploying multi-boot Macs and permitting your end users to choose whichever platform will work best for whatever theyd like to do at the moment.
But how do you manage the presentation of this choice? There are a couple concerns to keep in mind:
1. Setting the boot device is an activity restricted to administrative users.
2. Allowing non-administrative users access to this functionality potentially allows them to set the boot device to some external media that they provide (then they can really tamper with the system).
3. Leaving the machine at the EFI boot picker (hold down the option key at startup), while possible, leaves the previous options open and also leaves the machine in a state in which it cannot be managed or accessed via the network. rEFIt allows you to lock down the boot options at startup, however youre still unable to actually manage the machine in this state.
BootPicker runs on startup immediately prior to LoginWindow. Based upon your configuration, it presents an option to the end user to choose an operating system.
Upon choosing that OS, the computer either continues to Mac OS X or reboots to the specified OS. The next time the computer is rebooted, it will automatically return to Mac OS X and the boot picker.
Finally, for environments that require management at a large scale, or management while the machines are turned off or booted to a different OS, BootPicker can be managed via a Mac OS X Server Open Directory Master.
Got AD? Thats OK, you can leverage that as well. You can even run BootPicker from a logout script to give every new visitor to your lab machines the opportunity to choose their OS without rebooting.
Enhancements:
- Added some accessibility features. VoiceOver and keyboard interaction are now supported.

Eiffel Studio 5.3

The most important property to keep in mind as you are discovering EiffelStudio is that it is neither just a "programming environment" nor just a "CASE tool" (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) for analysis and design. It encompasses both of these functions and many others. Most system builders today are used to a dichotomy between the high end and the low end:
- At the analysis and design levels, graphical tools help you clarify your thinking about the system, interacting with customers and end users, and devise high-level system architectures, usually in diagrammatic form.
- At the low end, programming tools help you edit, compile and debug your programs.

MultiAd Creator Server 20030702
MultiAd Creator Server makes it possible to connect the functionality of the Creator Core Engine with external client modules easily and quickly. more>>
MultiAd Creator Server 20030702 makes it possible to connect the functionality of the Creator Core Engine with external client modules easily and quickly. It is important to note that end users do not interact with Creator Server directly; they do so only through the intermediary of some client module.
Major Features:
- Creator Server itself provides the ad-creation and modification services; the client modules provide the User Interface.
- The primary services provided by Server itself are those used by the MultiAd Creator desktop application, primarily ad construction, manipulation, and exporting to a variety of formats. Virtually anything that can be done to a document in the desktop application can be done in an automated fashion using Creator Server.
- The only significant exception is spell-checking, since it's an inherently interactive process which has no use in an entirely automated environment. Spell-checking can be provided at the client module level if needed.
- In addition, Creator Server provides a powerful command language similar in function to AppleScript (and available on multiple platforms), support for multiple simultaneous users, and TCP/IP networking support for use on a local area network or the Internet.
- It also provides a few tools useful in an automated environment, such as conversion of images from one type to another (EPS to GIF, for example).
- What Creator Server does not provide is any form of user interface more sophisticated than a command line. It is merely a processing tool, one half of a complete solution. The other half (the user interaction) is provided by a client module.
