Free Tools

J. C. Cobas, MestReJ A free tool for the prediction of vicinal proton-proton 3/(hhj coupling constants, http //nmr-analysis.blogspot.com/2008/10/mestrej-free-tool-for-prediction-of.html(includes a link to download the program). 

The use of free, open source tools is suggested for pharmacometricians who may not have licenses for commercial software. Flowever, the expenses associated with the licenses may not be significant for many organizations. A pharmacometrican can utilize the similarities between the proprietary and open source tools by developing the skills using the free tools and, if needed, transition to the proprietary versions later on. 

Advanced five-axis tool path generation algorithms have functionality to calculate gouge and collision-free tool postures. Gouging and collision avoidance algorithms are based on the following procedures ...

There are many commercial and free software through which modelling can be done. Modeller is a free tool for comparative modelling including loop modelling some commercial GUI-based versions are also available [31]. We demonstrate an... 

In the following section, we will explore a practical way to text mining biomedical hterature from MEDLINE. For demonstration, we used LingPipe, a free tool available for downloading from the Internet. In order to use LingPipe effectively, the interested readers are encouraged to visit the website and download the jar file or zip file containing all the detailed instractions. Here, we will de-... 

While most spectral libraries are fee-based, the Web offers a few free options for locating chemical spectra as well. One is the NIST Chemistry WebBook (webbook.nist.gov/chemistry), maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Another worthwhile free tool is the Integrated Spectral Data Base System for Organic Compounds (SDBS), maintained by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan (www.aist.go.jp/RIODB/ SDBS/menu-e.html).

Eye protection must be provided and used whenever work involves using cold chisels, drills, grinders or other tools where there is a risk of flying particles or pieces of the tool breaking off. Open-bladed knives, screwdrivers and other sharp tools are to be carried and used so as not to cause injury to the user or others. Non-ferrous (spark-free) tools must be used in flammable atmospheres. Insulated tools must be used where there is a possibility of live electrical work. 

Often after fabrication, metal surfaces are protected by oils or a rust preventative to minimize the reaction of the surface with the environment. For example, an oxide-free tool steel surface will form flash rust immediately on exposure to the atmosphere. To prevent the flash rust a flash rust inhibitor is absorbed on the surface before the cleaned surface is allowed to dry. These additives may act as contaminants in further processing and often are removed by in situ cleaning in the deposition system.
