Open Source software for small molecule crystallography

Focusing optics for molybdenum radiation: a bright laboratory source for small-molecule crystallography

This paper reports the design, installation and testing of a set of multilayer confocal mirrors in a side-by-side arrangement, built to increase the intensity from a molybdenum rotating-anode X-ray source. Ray-tracing experiments were performed in order to evaluate the best design parameters for the system, which are shown to be a side-by-side configuration of 100 mm length. Measurements of the...

Democratizing Business Software: Small Business Ecosystems for Open Source Applications

Open Source Software for Entertainment

In this tutorial, we explore open source software practices and tools that are suitable for a growing number of creators of interactive and playful systems. The introduction of open source tools such as Processing and Arduino has motivated a broader participation of technical and non-technical users in the creative production of interactive systems. Maker communities meet regularly and they sha...

A Robust Open Source Exchange for Open Source Software Development

This paper addresses the development of mechanisms for the creation of OSSD exchanges that could be used by developers across any geographical range, as long as all the developers can interact via some open network infrastructure such as the Internet. The structure of these exchanges can range from public repositories such as Sourceforge.net to intra-organizational forums for software developme...

Open-source Security Software Security for Open-source Systems

S ome people have claimed that open-source software is intrinsically more secure than closed source, 1 and others have claimed that it's not. 2 Neither case is absolutely true: they are essentially flip sides of the same coin. Open source gives both attackers and defenders greater analytic power to do something about software vulnerabilities. If the defender does nothing about security, though,...
