Hello All,
I want legends to be positioned below the graph (outside), but in two or three rows accordingly, such that they do not extend beyond the vertical boundaries of the graph. Can anyone please help with this?
Thanks.
Relevant answer
Answer
There are two main approaches to position legends below the graph (outside) in Mathematica:
1. Using PlotLegends with Placed
This method utilizes the built-in PlotLegends function and the Placed option for legend placement.
Here's how it works:
Code snippet
yourPlot = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, Pi}] legend = LineLegend[{"Sin[x]"}]; (* Create your legend *) finalPlot = Show[yourPlot, Legend -> Placed[legend, Below]] (* Place legend below *)
Use code with caution.
content_copy
In this example:
  • yourPlot represents your actual plot.
  • legend is created using LineLegend (or other legend types like PointLegend).
  • Show combines the plot and legend.
  • Placed[legend, Below] positions the legend below the plot area.
2. Using the PlotLegends package
For more control over legend placement, consider using the PlotLegends package:
Code snippet
Needs["PlotLegends`"] yourPlot = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, Pi}] legend = LineLegend[{"Sin[x]"}]; finalPlot = Show[yourPlot, Legend -> LegendPosition[{0, -1.2}]] (* Place at {x, y} coordinates *)
Use code with caution.
content_copy
This approach offers finer control:
  • Needs["PlotLegends"]` loads the package.
  • LegendPosition[{0, -1.2}] positions the legend's lower-left corner at {0, -1.2} coordinates.{0} represents the horizontal position (often left at 0). -1.2 places the legend 1.2 units below the plot area (adjust as needed).
Remember to replace yourPlot and legend with your specific plot and legend creation code.
These methods allow you to effectively position legends below your graph in Mathematica. Choose the approach that best suits your needs and desired level of control.

Dear All,
Apart from ImageJ, which software do you use to analyse light microscopy images?
To do basic things like colocalization analysis, measure of fluorescence increase/decrease against time (Ca2+ recording for example), counting the number of fluorescent events against time etc?
Thank you!
Relevant answer
Answer
For whom it may be of interest, here is a very helpful answer from Krunalkumar Shah:
There are several software options available for analyzing fluorescent imaging data apart from ImageJ. Here are a few popular ones: 1. **FIJI/ImageJ**: Although you mentioned excluding it, ImageJ's extended version FIJI is worth considering due to its wide user base and extensive plugin library specifically designed for image analysis. 2. **CellProfiler**: This is a free, open-source software designed for high-throughput image analysis. It's particularly useful for tasks like cell counting, object identification, and intensity measurements. 3. **Imaris**: Imaris is a powerful software suite for visualizing, analyzing, and interpreting 3D and 4D microscopy data. It's commonly used for tasks like colocalization analysis, tracking objects over time, and quantifying fluorescence intensity. 4. **Volocity**: Volocity is another software package designed for 3D and 4D image analysis. It offers features for colocalization analysis, object tracking, and measurement of cellular dynamics. 5. **MetaMorph**: MetaMorph is a versatile software platform that supports a wide range of microscopy applications, including fluorescence imaging. It provides tools for image analysis, object tracking, and time-lapse analysis. 6. **CellProfiler Analyst**: This is an extension of CellProfiler designed specifically for machine learning-based analysis of large image datasets. It's useful for tasks like classification, clustering, and data exploration. 7. **Huygens Software**: Huygens is known for its advanced deconvolution algorithms, making it suitable for improving image quality in fluorescence microscopy. It also offers tools for image analysis and visualization. Each software has its strengths and may be better suited to specific types of analysis or workflows. It's often helpful to try out a few options to see which one fits your needs best. Many of these software packages offer free trials or open-source versions, so you can explore them before making a decision.

I'm attempting the development of a gamified training system, and most resources I have found on the subject so far emphasise competitive mechanics, such as scoreboards and awards as methods of indirect player competition.
I've been thus wondering if there are any studies or learning materials on cooperation-based gamified systems, whether synchronous or asynchronous.
I thank you all in advance.
Relevant answer
Answer
Maybe you could have a look at the research of Johnson & Johnson on cooperation and cooperative learning. They do not address games or gamification but they show the relevant elements for good cooperation.
They also analysed competition and if I remember well, their main result is, that competition works for learning when winning is relatively unimportant and everybody has a chance to win.
Johnson, David W., und Roger T. Johnson. 1999. „Making Cooperative Learning Work“. Theory Into Practice 38 (2): 67–73. https://doi.org/10/b3ftqt.

For some time now, we have been working on translating these research findings on cooperative learning into corresponding game elements using the gamification framework EMPAMOS (www.empmos.de). We want to find out whether it is possible to better understand the motivational core of such scenarios.

Question

This year we have the opportunity to purchase an HRMSD. We have an Agilent Infinity II 1260 HPLC in our lab and are planning to purchase a Q-TOF. I have experience with Agilent equipment (GC/LC/GC-MS SQ/LC-MS SQ), but not with HRMS.
We are planning to use this instrument for untargeted metabolomics. We are interested in searching for producers of new antimicrobial compounds, performing screening and identification of new antimicrobials of microbiological origin, and studying the biosynthesis of microorganisms.
So far, we have been offered two Agilent detectors:
1. 6546
2. Revident.
As I know HRMS produces huge amounts of data, and performing untargeted metabolomics workflow requires additional software to work with the data in case of untargeted analysis.
Now Agilent offers two sets of software, which is a bit confusing for me.
1. Let's call the first set "classic". It includes:
a. MassHunter Profinder (for Feature finding stage)
b. Mass Profiler Professional (MPP) (for Alignment and statistics)
i. ID Browser (module of MPP for Identification)
ii. PathWay Architect (optional MPP module for metabolite pathways buildings)
c. METLIN PCDL for LC/Q-TOF (database for metabolomics)
2. Let's call the second set "new" It includes:
a. software product - MassHunter Explorer, which, according to the manufacturer, combines all of the above software products into one.
b. ChemVista library manager with METLIN PCDL library
Questions:
1. Is the MassHunter Profinder standalone SW or is it part of MassHunter Qual or Mass Profiler Professional
2. Which one of the SW sets should be chosen? They do the same. But do they really do the same and have the same capability? Marketing? From my experience the early version of SW is quite restricted. For 6546 and the newest Revident Aglent recommends MassHunter Explorer.
3. To buy or not to buy:
a. I read that untargeted analysis has a huge community and freeware databases and SW for metabolite identification. Is METLIN PCDL library a MUST part of SW from the Vendor? Can I consider it as optional and use freeware DB?
b. The same question about ChemVista library manager?
4. By which SW/Databases do you realize your untargeted metabolomics workflow?
5. Any experience with the Revident model of Q-TOF. How far is it better/worth in metabolomics compared to 6546? Marketing?
a. Intelligent functions
b. Solutions for Tuning
6. Is the APCI source essential for untargeted metabolomics?
Thank you in advance.
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Andriy,
First, congratulation with your future instrument. I personally love Agilent 6546, I did not work with Revident though.
Second, in my opinion, the most important step in untargeted metabolomics by HRMS is to fully understand what it can and can't do. Basically, I think a researcher has to accept that untargeted metabolomcis will not provide meaningful results immediately. Also, one has to accept that a whole process is so complex (not difficult, but complex), that it will be sub-optimal for most of the chemicals of interest. Therefore, for example, I would not consider APCI as a must have source. In contrast, for the targeted analysis, APCI can be essential in some cases.
The software provided are kind of repeat each other (in my impression), so I ended up using mostly MPP for all tasks. I think it is quite nice, intuitive and powerful. I do prefer to perform post-processing data analysis using external soft, but build-in functions work well for the initial results.
I do recommend to have PCDL, it can save you a lot of time for the primary metabolites annotation on the fly. But you can use external soft and databases too, if PCDL is beyond your budget or so.
Maintenance of 6546 is acceptable. in my case I have to prepare tuning mix by combining purchased components, but I heard Agilent is going to (already did) provide prepared mixes. Cone cleaning is easy, the needle adjustment can be tricky, but hopefully you will not need it often. I also like Agilent's video instructions., but I strongly recommend you to make sure how good is Agilent support in your location. Problems are unavoidable, I had a great support in this cases, but it is in the US. I know that other locations can be different.
Good luck.

Question

Right now, in 2022, we can read with perfect understanding mathematical articles and books
written a century ago. It is indeed remarkable how the way we do mathematics has stabilised.
The difference between the mathematics of 1922 and 2022 is small compared to that between the mathematics of 1922 and 1822.
Looking beyond classical ZFC-based mathematics, a tremendous amount of effort has been put
into formalising all areas of mathematics within the framework of program-language implementations (for instance Coq, Agda) of the univalent extension of dependent type theory (homotopy type theory).
But Coq and Agda are complex programs which depend on other programs (OCaml and Haskell) and frameworks (for instance operating systems and C libraries) to function. In the future if we have new CPU architectures then
Coq and Agda would have to be compiled again. OCaml and Haskell would have to be compiled again.
Both software and operating systems are rapidly changing and have always been so. What is here today is deprecated tomorrow.
My question is: what guarantee do we have that the huge libraries of the current formal mathematics projects in Agda, Coq or other languages will still be relevant or even "runnable" (for instance type-checkable) without having to resort to emulators and computer archaeology 10, 20, 50 or 100 years from now ?
10 years from now will Agda be backwards compatible enough to still recognise
current Agda files ?
Have there been any organised efforts to guarantee permanent backward compatibility for all future versions of Agda and Coq ? Or OCaml and Haskell ?
Perhaps the formal mathematics project should be carried out within a meta-programing language, a simpler more abstract framework (with a uniform syntax) comprehensible at once to logicians, mathematicians and programers and which can be converted automatically into the latest version of Agda or Coq ?

Answer
I just encountered a notification about this article on Mathematical Proofs and the value of Proof Assistants, https://www.ams.org/journals/notices/202401/rnoti-p79.pdf
I resonate most with the positions by Lamport (author of LaTex and a Turing Award Laureate) and Laurence Paulson (author of ML for the Working Programmer and working very much in proof assistants). I think it will be clear that the situation about the presentation of proofs and incorporation of such proofs in mathematical publication is still very much up in the air.
I also did a ResearchGate search on "Proof Assistant" and the fire-hose of articles confirmed my view that this is yet stabilizing, although there are extensive favorite approaches.
Here is the above paper's abstract:
“A proof is one of the most important concepts of mathematics. However, there is a striking difference between how a proof is defined in theory and how it is used in practice. This puts the unique status of mathematics as exact science into peril. Now may be the time to reconcile theory and practice, i.e., precision and intuition, through the advent of computer proof assistants. This used to be a topic for experts in specialized communities. However, mathematical proofs have become increasingly sophisticated, stretching the boundaries of what is humanly comprehensible, so that leading mathematicians have asked for formal verification of their proofs. At the same time, major theorems in mathematics have recently been computer-verified by people from outside of these communities, even by beginning students. This article investigates the different definitions of a proof, the gap between them, and possibilities to build bridges. It is written as a polemic or a collage by different members of the communities in mathematics and computer science at different stages of their careers, challenging well-known preconceptions and exploring new perspectives.”
There is already an objection to this material on the list where I found it. The objection is to this statement: "This puts the unique status of mathematics as exact science into peril.” That statement disturbs me too, but maybe not for the same reason.

Thank you.
Relevant answer
Answer
First several setups might exist. In some of them (e.g., so called PetrelStudio), the data is not in the Petrel project but rather in a database elsewhere and the project only reference data with or without cache. In the following I will focus on (quite common) case in which the data is in the Petrel project. In this case, the file to data correspondance is not transparent nor bijective. The formats are not explicit and not straightforward. You will have to access via Petrel and export your data. There could be exception in which you might be inposition to reverse engineer format and file allocation, but this would typically be very rare exception and unreliable. If the problem you face is lack of access to petrel, you are in a bad spot. If it simply not knowing how to do it, then it usually takes a bit of trial but export is typically doable, reasonnably trusworthyt for accuracy and completeness and can be automated. It certainly is possible to transfer most of the data to something that can bea read in CMG suite with anot too much (but not zero) reformatting efforts. Am I clear?

Antonio Luca Conte There are various software choices available for creating a climate change risk map for an oak ecosystem. Some common choices are:
1. ArcGIS is a geographic information system (GIS) program that may be used to produce comprehensive maps and analyze data. It is capable of analyzing climatic data and creating danger maps for specific ecosystems.
2. QGIS is a free and open-source geographic information system (GIS) program that may be used to build and analyze maps. It shares many of ArcGIS's features and may be used to generate risk maps for specific environments.
3. R is a statistical computing and graphics programming language and software environment. It's commonly used for data analysis and visualization, as well as risk mapping. Many R packages, such as 'raster' and 'dismo,' may be used to construct risk maps.
4. Google Earth Engine is a cloud-based platform for accessing and processing huge volumes of geographical data, including climate data. It may be used to generate risk maps for individual environments.
It should be noted that developing a risk map for a given ecosystem would need an understanding of GIS, data analysis, and modeling. If you lack such information, it may be preferable to seek advice from professionals in the subject, such as ecologists, climatologists, or geologists.

You would need to know these details of the interface to diagnose the issues you described.

My lab developed a method for analysis in the LC-MS using the qualitative Agilent mass hunter software; however, we find it very hard to generate reports with it, especially when it comes to find concentrations of our analyte in the samples. I want to start using the quantitative software, but I do not know if there is a way to use the method already used for the quantitative software or if I would need to create one from zero.

I would say you must build a new quantitative method in "MS Quantitative Analysis" software. It takes some time to build a method, however, if you do it once then you'll find it easy to do it another time.

Dear community,
What is the code to perform a Fama-MacBeth regression in Stata? I understand how this works theoretically, but I do not understand how this is implemented in Stata. My variables are the 5 factors of the Fama French 5 factor model and 25 portfolios double sorted on size and book-to-market value of equity.
Additionally I have another question as well. That is, in order to test the Fama French 5 factor model, you just regress the factors on one of the portfolios right? In other words, is the correct code to test the 5 factor model:
- tsset date (in order to declare dataset to be time-series data with date as the time variable)
- reg me1bm1 markt smb hml rmw cma (where me1bm1 is the portfolio with lowest marketcap and lowest B/M and the other 5 variables are the 5 factors).
When I use this code I get very strange results, namely that almost all intercepts are significant (which is in contradiction with the Fama French papers). Hence, I am wondering whether there is something wrong with this code. I hope you all could help me with these 2 questions!
Yours truly,
Niek

Nowdays there is a lot of hype about node.js in the micro-service field due to its productivity and the great community, and indeed node.js is really a powerful platform for cloud computing development, but don’t forget that all its productivity relays on various layers of abstraction which come with a penalty in performance and a huge stack of components to make it work. But I do not want to start here a polemic about which one is best, this article is about using modern C++ to implement a microservice where the idea is using the modern syntax to reach the level of productivity that node.js provides but with the performance benefits of C++, and if you are like me that loves C++ and its great performance thanks to its zero levels of abstractions, then this article is for you.

For example: Kurtosis SPSS=1.947 versus Kurtosis Amos=1.811. I dont have missing values in my dataset and I am wondering where this difference comes from. Did anyone experienced the same or has an idea why the results differ?
Many thanks in advance.
Relevant answer
Answer
The formulas used are different.
For AMOS, James Arbuckle assumes that only large samples will be used (n>200) and thus SE_sk=sqrt(6/n) and SE_ku=sqrt(24/n).
The general formula that SPSS uses (good for any sample size) are:
SE_sk =sqrt( 6*n*(n-1) / ((n-2)*(n+1)*(n+3)))
SE_ku=sqrt(4*(N^2-1)*(SE_sk)^2 / ((n-3)*(n+5)))
As I said, for large sample sizes the differences are at the 3rd decimal place...

Wintoki et al. (2012) adapt the procedure for testing the relevance of the instruments in 2SLS settings, that is to say they examined the F-Statistics for the joint significance of the instruments on the instrumented variable after the first stage, which is the reduced form equation where we regress the instrumented variable on all exogenous variables (x) + some some excluded instruments (z).
They carried out two separate procedures, one for the difference equation and for the level equation as they use system GMM estimator. In case you are using differenced GMM then you can follow the procedure for the differenced equation. For each procedure you use the instruments for the corresponding equation, for example, when you do the test for the level equation, use the instruments that were used in the level equation.
For more details you can consult their paper:

Relevant answer
Answer
Dear respected colleagues,
Related to this valuable discussion thread of Prof. Nabaraj Gautam, please let me point to another critical issue related to plagiarism software-detectors.
My friend was accused of plagiarism. Why?
After about five months, his promotion process to associate professor was rejected because of plagiarism. When he checked the promotion report, he found that one of his papers was accused of plagiarism and with a 100% percentage. The reason is that his manuscript was checked by his co-author using one of these checkers. It took him several months time of following up to solve the problem and removing the manuscript from their database. After that long period, he re-applies the promotion order for the second time.
Therefore, plagiarism software may retain a copy of the manuscript in its database. To state the truth, this is depending upon the settings and type of account subscription.
So, you may face a similar situation when you submit your manuscript after plagiarism checking to a journal. It may be rejected instantly because it would show up 100% similarity index.
To solve the problem, it may take several months time of following up and removing the manuscript from their database.
If there were accusations of plagiarism, it is not well for your reputation, in any meaning.

Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Prof. Abdullah Al-Mamun Bulbul & all the honorable researchers,
Plagiarism is a common problem facing almost all professors. This respected portal (i.e. RG) defines plagiarism as:
The term “plagiarism” has different meanings, but it usually includes copying somebody else’s work without permission.
On the other side, self-plagiarism is when the author republishes portions of his/her own previously written research work while authoring a new work.
I may be somewhat old-fashioned, but please have a look at the following golden principles on how to avoid plagiarism in academic writing, especially Self-Plagiarism:
  1. Never use the "Copy-Paste" trend: Use your own words instead of copying and pasting the text verbatim from others (i.e. reference papers). On the other hand, I don't trust using the rewrite-websites to rephrase the text of other research articles. I only trust my own rephrasing. Needless to say that if you are using your own words, then there is no chance of plagiarism accusing. Try to paraphrase your content as much as you could.
  2. Never repeat yourself: There are many re-published articles that are slightly or even considerably modified, and still not changed!
  3. If you have co-authors, just trust your words!
  4. If you use your own words, there should be no plagiarism issue. In turn, there is no need for the tools of plagiarism checking. Since there is no guarantee that the original content of your manuscript might not be copied and sold to others before it is published by you, I discourage using any free-software checkers for plagiarism; some of them are betrayers. Despite that offline ones are rare and if you are insisting to use anti-plagiarism software, offline checker programs are safer than online ones. On the other side and in case you are again insisting to use anti-plagiarism check, the process should be carried out for the entire research work, literature reviews, for instance, are not an exception.
  5. In some cases, you can paraphrase the sentences (اعادة صياغة الجملة) in the original document. But don't forget to cite the reference.
  6. You must always insist on honesty. Furthermore, you have to always remember that there should be a new added value.
  7. You must always insist on doing real research, not "Wikipedia" research.
  8. Do not put any of your research work anywhere until it is published and tagged with your name. Please wait until the paper is accepted and then published in that journal. Then, upload that research item on any platform you wish.
  9. In my opinion, most of the free-software-checkers for plagiarism don't work effectively. Unfortunately, you have to pay for the sake of getting good results.
  10. Despite that offline ones are rare and if you are insisting to use anti-plagiarism software, offline checker programs are safer than online ones.
  11. Try to develop your own style for the text writing.
  12. You should be should beware of storing your document in any portal that is used as free software checker for any language.
  13. Try to read as much scientific literature as possible, especially in your own research field area.
  14. Don't forget to cite your Sources: Identify what is needed and what is not needed to be cited. If you refer to any material, including images and data, you should be clear and define the source. Because images are treated as data in the case of citation, you should refer to any taken image and cite it in the references whether it has been copied from the social media image or a research article. By the way, please do not forget that "A picture is worth a thousand words"!
  15. A reminder for all respected researchers: In order to maintain research integrity, plagiarism (الاستلال) has to be given up. However, many people do not know whether they are committing plagiarism intentionally or unintentionally. How we can be more concerned about this issue?
Now, I think that the above-mentioned rules are helping in setting boundaries to avoid plagiarism in general, and self-plagiarism in special.
Finally, believe me, or not: If you make one plagiarizing, you may solve one problem and fall into many others where some of which may be described as a knockout. Again and again, please always remember that if there were accusations of plagiarism, it is not well for any researcher's reputation, in any meaning.

I am looking for a software (preferentially free) for simulating SAED patterns of different crystal structures at different zone axes. Do you know any software that has all the features and the crystal structure database?
Relevant answer
Answer
What you are looking for is probably a multislice simulation code. There's plenty of them out there, all with their individual strengths and weaknesses, but based on the same principle. Most of them are open source I believe. Packages you could check out for example:
You'd have to have a look at the documentations to check out all available simulation modes and extra capabilities of these codes. I reckon they can all do what you want. I personally use MULTEM for my simulations, but the choice is yours.
Most of those packages come with some sort of interface to crystallographic files (cif) or some other form of building crystal structures internally, but generally building atomic structures is a bit of a separate problem. I believe abTEM has quite a bit of stuff in that regard though. For Multem I have a little repository to assist with the specimen creation as well (https://github.com/ThFriedrich/atomic_specimen_creation). Cif-files you can easily get from the COD (http://www.crystallography.net/cod/) or the Materials Project Database (https://materialsproject.org/)

A hologram is made by superimposing a second wavefront (normally called the reference beam) on the wavefront of interest, thereby generating an interference pattern that is recorded on a physical medium. When only the second wavefront illuminates the interference pattern, it is diffracted to recreate the original wavefront. Holograms can also be computer-generated by modeling the two wavefronts and adding them together digitally. The resulting digital image is then printed onto a suitable mask or film and illuminated by a suitable source to reconstruct the wavefront of interest.
Why can't the two-intensity combination algorithm be adapted like MATLAB software in Octave software and create an interference scheme?

We are at an era where the technical assessment of processes is digitized. The question that arises is whether in life cycle analysis there are some good practices for digitizing the way in which we assess the environmental indicators through LCA. Excluding the case of buildings, where commercial software already exists (Tally, OneClickLCA) for automatic extraction of life cycle analysis indicators from digital BIM models, are there other cases where the environmental assessment of processes with LCA is done in an automated and digitized way?

The latest version of the CropSyst model (version 4.21.7.19) does not simulate crop growth in windows 7. I installed all of the additional software in the "installation" folder (which exists in the installed CropSyst folder). However, the software still immediately stops working when I want to run any scenarios.
Relevant answer
Answer
The latest version of the CropSyst model (Any version) does not simulate crop growth very well at alll. It does not use site specific ETcrop or direct soil moisture measurement. Consider calculating ETcrop for your growth simulations. Add a maturity model based on AGDD and you should have a far better system than CropSyst.

The determination of flight conditions varies based on the UAV model, flight application, and the
size of the imaging area; thus, preparing a manual for flight conditions is extremely dicult. There
are many issues to consider for UAV utilization, such as various flight conditions and di erences in
tree species. Therefore, in order to utilize UAV in forest management, it is important to accumulate
basic data related to estimates of tree height and volume using UAV, for verification of accuracy.

I have been trying to build a target analysis model using Glotaran software to analyze transient absorption traces. If the model is parallel or sequential, global analysis would be sufficient to analyze the results, however, if both parallel and sequential steps are required within the same model then target analysis is what should be used and it can be constructed using what is termed as KMatrix.
My problem is that I couldnt find any good documentation or examples on constructing the Target analysis model or the KMatrix, even it is not well documented in their paper (RG link is attached)
I would appreciate any help or explanation on how to build the KMatrix for target analysis
Thanks in advance
Relevant answer
Answer
Not sure if you've resolved this by now, but for anyone interested I can try to explain what I know. It gets a little confusing because the matrix labels are numeric - so let's instead think of the rows and columns as species A, B, and C. The numbers you populate the matrix with are ordinal - effectively saying 'refer to the k value (/reciprocal of the time constant) in position 1 (or 2, or 3, etc.) below'.
In the matrix shown below, then, it is saying that Species A (col 1) is turning into Species C (row 3) with a k value of 1. Also Species B (col 2) is turning into Species C (row 3) with a k value of 1 as well. If you give a k value for the same Species (e.g. col 1, row 1) then that value is associated with the species decaying.
So for example, based on the first column, one aspect of my model is that Species A either decays (k value = 0.003) or turns into Species C (k value = 1).
The other thing you would need as a minimum amount of information for the k matrix (I think) is the J-vector (middle right), which is referring to the initial occupancy after the IRF. So in this example, Species A and B are populated by the laser pulse, but not C. (I think it may have been more correct to use 0.5 and 0.5, i.e. start by assuming the laser is equally occupying A and B.)
Hope that helps! Let me know if something wasn't clear or if you have any questions.

lt should be low-cost or open-source so it is available to everyone and anyone can learn easily.
Relevant answer
Answer
A superb low-cost learning option is one that my Professor used for our entire course content in one of my Master's degree program. That is to have the students write their own code in teams and sections.
The KEY point is that NO software will help if the basic concepts, math, and understanding of reactions are not first known by the user! Simply plugging in numbers to get a result from someone else's work may be fine (but how to you check?) for commercial work, but if one wants to improve, adapt, or invent a process, it all starts from the individual's knowledge and competence. THEN, some software may help to speed up the process of calculation. BUT, if anyone uses it as a crutch to create a 'solution' without knowing how it got there, it will only promote "Illusions of Competence" in the individual, and possible serious problems in a real project.
With that caveat, here are a couple of sources of potential software:
Don't confuse reactor design with Process Simulation, which is done well by some other companies, but does not address the design stage.

I want to generate Hippo House grid shell in grasshopper software. Does any body know how to do it?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi, together with colleagues and students we have made an open source algorithm to design elastic gridshells with grasshopper. The Hippo House is a non-elastic gridsheel, but you can still use it to find its shape. The algorithm makes it possible to draw a Chebyshev network on a surface and calculate its shape under its own weight and bending (to be unactivated in the case of a non-elastic gridshell). This last step can also be done with Kangaroo (but with less detail). Algorithm link: https://www.construire-l-architecture.com/07-elastica Link to the paper explaining how it works: Hope that helps

Origin software is widely available to find out FWHM of a XRD-peak. Can you suggest any freeware (opensource) software by which FWHM can be determined easily?
Thank you in advance for your valuable suggestion.
Relevant answer
Answer
Origin is always mentioned for this purpose. However, I find that the software, Fityk, is superior to Origin in the peak fitting department. I have provided the download link and an introduction video as well.
I find this software easier to use due to the flexibility, peak fit editing, and lite GUI as compared to the clunky peak fitting interface of Origin. The major plus is that you can place the peaks, run the fit, edit, and export all independently, where in Origin you don't get to do that as freely.
Good luck and cheers!

Abaqus provides a coupled temperature-displacement analysis step (for Abaqus standard Apps), as well as a dynamic coupled temperature-displacement analysis, which are selected according to your application. With such types of analysis procedures, you can load your assembly with both mechanical and thermal loading utilizing form various Abaqus options (load, boundary, or interaction). it should be noted that for such analysis methods, element degree of freedom must be selected appropriately (thermal and mechanical DOFs) to solve such conditions, regardless of element shape and meshing strategies.
