A versatile, user-friendly tachistoscope for the Macintosh

User-friendly and versatile software for analysis of protein hydrophobicity.

We have developed a simple and flexible program to analyze regional hydrophobicity of a protein from its amino acid (aa) sequence. This program runs as a Microsoft Excel document into which aa sequence can be copied from any Windows-compatible or Macintosh word processor. The program returns the hydrophobicity index of each aa residue and other analyses that can be used to predict transmembrane...

A free user friendly program for evaluation of radiotherapy plans based on different dose response models

Introduction: Radiotherapy (RT) plan evaluation using dose response models has become a feasible approach in routine clinical practice. Although there are several tools for this task, they suffer from limitations including number of different dose response models and parameters. In the present study, we aimed to develop a free program for RT plan evaluation based on a variety ...

My first experience of doing scientific research came in the third year of my undergrad when genetics professor Marty Snyder kindly gave me a summer job in her lab at Acadia University. On my first day at work, Marty handed me a CD labeled “scallop data,” and then directed me to a towering Power Mac G4 computer. “See this?” she said, slapping the top of the G4. “Over the next few months you are...
