Apples to Oranges 1.2
Apples to Oranges - Simple unit converter more>>
This application was my introduction to Objective-C, Cococa, and Mac OS X development. Yes, it is simple and does not offer any features that cannot be found in other applications. However it does what it says it should do, and with style (in my humble/biased opinion). Id be greatly appreciative of any feedback, positive or otherwise.
Enhancements:
- Allows input of simple fractions (numerator/denominator)
- Retains user settings, window positions, etc. between launches.
- Restricts user input to legitimate values.
- Support for Mac OS X 10.1 through 10.3 (Panther).
Drug War Cost Clock 1.1
Uses government budget data to calculate how much taxpayer money has been spent since January 1 more>> Uses government budget data to calculate how much taxpayer money has been spent since January 1
If you use a Macintosh and are concerned about the the governments continuation of the failed War on Drugs and its cost to taxpayers, you might want to download our Drug War Cost Clock widget.
It is the widget form of the clock that appears at the top of this page, just below the menu. The major version number (the first two digits) represents the budget year upon which calculations are based. The rest of the version number represents the actual software version.
Using data from the two most authoritative sources available, on the the monetary cost of the Drug War, it displays the amount of money that the government has spent, since the beginning of this year, in the bogus name of fighting the Drug War.
Unfortunately, there is no way to calculate the devastating social costs of the government abuses that the Drug War has spawned, like making the United States the nation that imprisons a greater percentage of its population than any other nation on Earth.
Based upon budget data for the year 2006, this widget ticks over $1,620.37 each and every second of every day, as a visual reminder of just how much of our money the government is wasting on a Drug War that has only resulted in an increase in the availability of drugs to our children, a significant increase in drug related violence and a severe reduction in our rights, under the color of fighting the War on Drugs.
The back side of the widget has a scrollable window that details where the data for these calculations originated. The widget expands, when flipped over, to make it easier to read the details and returns to normal size, when flipped back to the front.
The number that we use for our calculations is slightly lower than other cost numbers that you may find cited by various sources, because it is our policy at Action America to only use the most conservative numbers that we can positively stand behind, in such cases.
When two equally authoritative sources disagree by a small number, as often happens, we will always use the lower number. Its not that we want to help the government look any less incompetent. We just dont want to inject our bias into the numbers. We want you to know where the numbers come from, so you can make up your own mind on how bad the situation really is.
This widget will automatically reset every January. However, that will not update the new budget numbers that climb ever higher each year. We also plan to release, in the coming months, a new version which will update the Drug War budget numbers, from a file on our web site, with each years changing budget.
Enhancements
- This version updates the formulas used in the calculations, to use the most recent 2009 federal budget data.
AppleTV Junkie RSS Feed 1.0
AppleTV Junkie RSS Feed - Dashboard widget that will display the complete HD movie listing for the AppleTV more>> HStringList a Metrowerks PowerPlant class that implements an object for creation, management, and manipulation of string lists. It is primarily oriented towards STR# resources, but the class can be easily modified to suit any similar such need.
HStringList can handle the read/write of the resource, management of it, use of Pascal-style or C-style strings. It might seem a bit overkill, but it strives to offer a lot of functionality and flexibility. And one doesnt even have to use this as a STR# resource (the class is just biased towards that end); one could easily extend the classs functionality to suit just about any string-list management needs.
Due to developments in PowerPlant, HStringList requires at least PowerPlant v1.8 (part of CodeWarrior Professional 2). There is a simple demo application included in the archive to demonstrate how the class can work.<<less
ClineFit 0.1
Fits genotypic data to equilibrium cline models more>> Fits genotypic data to equilibrium cline models
ClineFit fits genotypic data to equilibrium cline models developed by Nick Barton. ClineFit uses a numerical maximum likelihood algorithm (an MCMC method aka a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm aka a biased random walk), and returns maximum-likelihood estimates and 2-unit support limits.
ClineFit supports diploid, haplodiploid or sex-linked genotypic data using codominant loci.
ClineFit takes data in my own format (very similar to Swoffords BIOSYS) or Arlequin format. ClineFit requires that the location of each population sample be a number, placed as the last piece of information in the populations name.
ClineFitt also requires that you identify, as part of the name of each locus, the alleles that will be most frequent on the right side of the cline.
Main features:
clines with 2, 4, 6 & 8 primary shape parameters, including:
- center and width
- 4 parameters describing introgression tails on either side of the cline
- 2 parameters describing frequencies of asymptotic polymorphisms on each side of the cline, if they are not fixed.
- single or multiple markers
- disequilibrium estimates, from which dispersal and selection estimates are obtained in 6- & 8-parameter models
- models that omit parameters of your choice, such as the introgression tail on one side of the cline
- models that omit such parameters for some traits but not others, under your control
- models that combine parameters traits in ways that you control. For example, you can estimate a single center for all traits, or a unique center for each trait, or any combination in between.
Geokit 1.4.0
An open source Ruby gem and Rails plugin for easier map-based applications more>> An open source Ruby gem and Rails plugin for easier map-based applications
Geokit makes it easy to build location-based apps. Geokit provides geocoding, location finders, and distance calculation in an easy-to-use API.
If you have any tables with latitude/longitude columns in your database, or if you every wanted to easily query for "all the stores within a 50 mile radius," then Geokit is for you.
Geokit consists of a Rails plugin (geokit-rails) and a Gem (geokit-gem). You will be able to use the gem separately. The plugin requires the gem.
Main features:
- Distance calculations between two points on the earth. Calculate the distance in miles or KM, with all the trigonometry abstracted away by Geokit.
- ActiveRecord distance-based finders. For example, you can find all the points in your database within a 50-mile radius.
- Geocoding from multiple providers. It currently supports Google, Yahoo, Geocoder.us, Genames, and Geocoder.ca geocoders, and it provides a uniform response structure from all of them. It also provides a fail-over mechanism, in case your input fails to geocode in one service.
- IP-based location lookup utilizing hostip.info. Provide an IP address, and get city name and latitude/longitude in return.
- A before_filter helper to geocode the users location based on IP address, and retain the location in a cookie.
Enhancements
- Added country code/viewport biasing to GoogleGeocoder. Added Bounds#to_span method
- Added suggested_bounds (Geokit:Bounds) property to GeoLoc. (Google geocoder only)
- Added LatLng#reverse_geocode convenience method (thanks Tisho Georgiev for all three)
MacPotthoff 2.1
MacPotthoff - Tests of regression slopes/intercepts for test bias analysis more>>
Numerous methods of quantatively assessing test bias have been proposed. These include various item metrics, construct methods, content, and predictive procedures. An influential early position regarding the importance of predictive validity indicated that, "a test is considered fair for a particular use if the inference drawn from the test score is made with the smallest feasible random error and if there is no constant error in the inference as a function of membership in a particular group" (Cleary et al., 1975, p. 25).
One of the more popular methods for detecting bias of prediction was published by R. F. Potthoff (1978). Potthoffs model provides both simultaneous and separate tests of regression slopes and intercepts. If a significant F results from the simultaneous test, one may conclude that predictive bias exists and may then conduct separate tests of slopes and intercepts to ascertain whether the bias in prediction is constant (intercepts differ) or varies relative to the distance of scores from the mean (slopes differ). It is generally accepted that no test bias exists if the predictive relationship of two or more groups can be adequately described by a common regression line. An application of the Potthoff procedure can be found in Weiss and Prifitera (1995).
Strandz 0.1.1109
API for connecting users with their data more>> For most common pitch problems, Auto-Tune Evos Automatic Mode instantaneously detects the pitch of the input, identifies the closest pitch in a user-specified scale (including minor, major, chromatic and 26 historical and microtonal scales), and corrects the input pitch to match the scale pitch. A Retune Speed control lets you match the retune rate to virtually any performance style.
Automatic Mode Features:
* Real-time pitch shifting (Native versions only): Auto-Tune Evo s new Transpose control provides extremely high-quality real-time pitch shifting over a two-octave range (+/- one octave in semi-tone increments).
* Formant correction (Native versions only): While Auto-Tune s classic pitch adjustment technology still provides the optimum results for the very small intervals typical of conventional pitch correction, for larger intervals or outright pitch-shifting, engaging Auto-Tune Evo s Formant Correction function preserves vocal character over a much wider pitch-shift range.
* Throat modeling (Native versions only): Utilizing the latest incarnation of Antares unique throat modeling technology, the new Throat Length control actually allows you to modify vocal character by passing it through a variable-length physical model of the human vocal tract.
Note: AU - For Logic Audio, Garage Band, Digital Performer, Ableton Live, Soundtrack Pro, Bias Peak and some other AU compatible hosts.<<less
