My Experiments with FOSS
2 likes436 views
This document summarizes the author's experiences using various free and open source software (FOSS) programs for their research on the effects of habitat fragmentation on amphibians. The author used JabRef as a reference editor, XnView as an image editor, Audacity as a voice editor, PAST as a data editor, QGIS and DIVA-GIS for spatial data analysis, Fragstats for fragmentation analysis, and openModeller for distribution modeling. The author learned that free software is not necessarily flawed and that more interaction is needed between developers and users of FOSS programs.

The document discusses the kinetic theory of matter and thermal energy. The kinetic theory of matter states that all things are made up of very small particles that are constantly in motion. Thermal energy is the energy related to and caused by heat. Thermal energy is a measure of the total kinetic energy of all the particles that make up an object or substance. Both kinetic theory of matter and thermal energy are relevant to understanding how our bodies and the world work on a daily basis at the atomic level.Where are we going and how are we going to get there?

The document discusses the myExperiment virtual research environment for sharing workflows. Some key points:
1. myExperiment is a social network and repository for research workflows and methods. It currently has over 1800 users and hundreds of shared workflows.
2. The site allows fine-grained privacy controls, grouping of related content into "packs", and integration with other systems through federation.
3. Analysis found that most workflows and other content are shared publicly, and some users actively build upon other users' shared workflows. The most viewed workflow has over 1500 views.
4. The principles behind myExperiment's design focus on empowering scientists by enabling new forms of collaboration and sharing without forcing changes to workflows. TheA Content Strategy Roadmap

How to make a website: discover, define, design, develop, deploy. It¡¯s a familiar framework for most of our project processes. Now along comes this content strategy thing. Sure, it sounds like a great idea, but how does it fit in with what we¡¯re already doing? Walk through a a typical website project to find out how content strategy fits (and why it will make you so happy!)Information architecture 101
Information architecture 101Francis Zablocki
?
This document discusses information architecture (IA). It begins with defining IA and its key elements. IA is the structured design of shared information environments, combining organization, labeling, search, and navigation to support usability and findability. The document then covers the history of IA in library science and the early web. It discusses user behavior in browsing like known-item seeking. Organizational schemes and structures are explained like topic-based and audience-based. Labeling, content structure, and metadata are also important elements. The future of IA is discussed in relation to responsive design, multi-platform browsing, and adaptive content. IA practice is also summarized, focusing on staffing, testing, professional development, and advocacy.Introduce Programming to Kids at Geecon 2014

I gave this talk at the code.talks 2015 conference in Hamburg, Germany: https://www.codetalks.de/2015/programm/there-is-no-javascript.
JavaScript is a truly bizarre language: at once interpreted and compiled, functional and mutative, prototypal and syntactically poor, chaotic and elegant. It is the lowest high-level language of the amorphous operating system known as the web. It has evolved rapidly, sidelining all competition and building up a huge ecosystem of libraries and tools and symbiotic users.
And yet, its very popularity is bringing about its demise, whether by the introduction of the low-level WebAssembly or innumerable higher-level languages or even the reimagined ECMAScript 6 and other descendants. In this talk, we will explore JavaScript's evolution from a mere amoeba in Brendan Eich's bubbling pool to a dinosaur in John Resig's slightly more recent Mesozoic lair and all the way to its inevitable disappearance into civilized ubiquity.Noam Kfir - There is no Java Script - code.talks 2015

The document discusses the history and evolution of JavaScript over time. It began as a language created in 10 days by Brendan Eich in 1995. While initially misunderstood and fragmented across browsers, JavaScript has adapted and survived through open source contributions, a changing web, and maturation of the industry. The language is constantly evolving in unpredictable ways to shoot out in new directions. Its adaptability is key to its survival, and continued change will help ensure it does not stagnate. There is no single definition of JavaScript due to its ubiquity and ability to evolve.SLE/GPCE Keynote: What's the value of an end user? Platforms and Research: Th...

This talk will present the synergy arising from building platforms on top of which do our research. RMOD our team [1] is developing two platforms: Pharo (a dynamic reflective object-oriented language supporting live programming) and Moose (an open-source software analysis platform [2]). Developing platforms forces us to develop really usable systems. While some activities are more engineering than research per se, it is really interesting to deeply understand problems or impacts of certain design decisions. Developing platforms is rewarding because it is more a long term effort and ensures a degree of stability. Platforms also often exhibit non-linear growth that is really exciting. Finally this setup raises many interesting questions such as ¡°What is the value in terms of citations or published papers of a couple of end-users¡±, or ¡°Is it not really stupid not to work on latest hype language?¡± To try to open our minds, I will draw parallels with the notion of wealth of an ecosystem in biology. In the second part of the talk I will present some selected results around Pharo and Moose such as: automatic minimal system core generation, dynamic core updates, selector namespace, dependencies in past commit branches and automatic migration rule generation.

Despite the attention Semantic Search is continuously gaining, several challenges affecting tool performance and user experience remain unsolved. Among these are: matching user terms with the searchspace, adopting view-based interfaces in the Open Web as well as supporting users while building their queries. This paper proposes an approach to move a step forward towards tackling these challenges by creating models of usage of Linked Data concepts and properties extracted from semantic query logs as a source of collaborative knowledge. We use two sets of query logs from the USEWOD workshops to create our models and show the potential of using them in the mentioned areas.How Do I UX by Quick Left

Amphibians are vertebrates that can live both on land and in water. They go through a metamorphosis from an aquatic tadpole stage to a terrestrial adult stage. Amphibians are important for ecosystems and human welfare. They indicate environmental changes and provide benefits like controlling pests, serving as traditional medicine, and acting as biological indicators. India is home to 309 amphibian species across 14 families and 55 genera. Ongoing research in India includes studies on reproduction, taxonomy, ecology, and impacts of skin extracts. Conservation efforts aim to protect amphibian habitats and diversity in the Western Ghats.Urban ecology: will we act before its too late?

A total of 42 amphibian species belonging to 7 families were recorded. 27 species were endemic to the Western Ghats region. The survey found variation in species richness and abundance across sampling sites, with the Yennehol¨¦ sub-basin having the highest values and Nandihol¨¦ the lowest. Statistical analysis revealed correlations between amphibian diversity metrics and habitat variables like rainfall, tree cover, and land use. Forest fragmentation was also correlated with some diversity metrics.Ecological Monitoring Techniques

Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMO¡¯s within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.
