Free 1.0.6 software for linux

NRIA is New Region of Interest Analysis.

NRIA is a medical image processing program developed at the Brain Behavior Laboratory (BBL) of the University of Pennsylvania; it specializes in the quantitative analysis of PET and MRI images of the brain. The perpetrators are listed in the Credits file.

Despite a nearly total lack of user documentation, NRIA is used heavily at BBL and has been carried by ex-students to infect a few other universities. The only known way to learn how to use the program (unless you wrote it yourself) is to get hands-on training by someone else who already knows how to use it.

NRIA currently runs under Solaris (aka SunOS 5 or greater). A port to any other platform is unlikely, due to the prevalence of non-portable constructs in the code. NRIA will compile but not run successfully using gcc on Linux/Intel; no one is known to have tried it on Linux/Sparc.

Bug reports may be sent to Paul Hughett (hughett@bbl.psycha.upenn.edu), who will add them to his collection. Bug fixes and other improvements may be sent to the same person; context diffs are the preferred format. Should you want to make a more substantial contribution, read the file CodingStyle.

If you still want to install NRIA, see the INSTALL file for instructions. The COPYING file describes the license terms under which the software is made available.

Installation:

These instructions assume that you will put the source tree (where the program is compiled) in a directory /usr/local/src/nria and the executable programs and shared data in a directory /usr/local/nria; if you place them elsewhere, make the appropriate modifications to these instructions.

1. Unpack the source tree with the commands

cd /usr/local/src
gunzip nria-1.0.6.src.tgz
tar xf nria-1.0.6.src.tar

2. Compile NRIA and its supporting programs with the commands

cd nria-1.0.6
make clean
make all

The compiled executables will be placed in one of the directories arch/Linux/bin, arch/SunOS-4/bin, or arch/SunOS-5/bin, depending on your machine architecture and operating system version. (Note that NRIA will compile but not run successfully on Linux; if you want to really use the program you will need a Sun.)

Compiling the whole thing takes about 20-30 minutes, so you might as well go get a cup of coffee while youre waiting. There are about a thousand or so compiler warnings that havent been fixed yet; ignore them.

3. Install the binaries and man pages by

cp -p arch/SunOS-5/bin/* /usr/local/nria
cp -p man/man1/*.1 /usr/local/man/man1

If this is a new installation, install the shared data by

cp -p nria/share/* /usr/local/nria

If this isnt a new installation, you will need to figure some way of merging the new shared data with any local modifications.

You will probably need to be root to do the installation; on the other hand, you can install them in your personal home directory without being root.

4. Add /usr/local/nria to your path, if not already there:

If you are using csh as your shell, then place the following at the end of your $HOME/.login file:

set path = ($path $NRIA)

If you are using sh, ksh, or bash as your shell, then place the following at the end of your $HOME/.profile file:

PATH=${PATH}:$NRIA
export PATH

5. To run NRIA, re-login or type the above appropriate path commands at your shell prompt, and then type:

nria

If you dont have any .nhdr files in the current directory, you will see an empty file dialog. You will need to change directories to one which holds nria format images (raw *.img file, header *.nhdr file). If you only have raw images, then for each image you will need to use the img2ria program (type "man img2ria" for more details). If you have individual slices in their own files, you will need to concatenate all slices into one raw image file, and then run img2ria. NRIA is designed to work with 3D multi-slice volumes, not individual 2D slices.

Kahua project is CPS, Continuation Passing Style application framework and servers written in one of Scheme implementation, Gauche.
It has the advantages that you can use "Continuation" easily so you can resolve the typical Web applications problem of process disconnection, you can program declaratively by using S-expressions as a fundamental data type, you can use Kahuas Object Database to persist data, and you can modify the function being run, supporting incremental development.
Enhancements:
- The feature to change the login-user to a dynamic scope was added.
- The behavior of URI construction was cleaned up.

PDFCat program is a fast and lightweight catalog management application to keep track of PDF documents coming in through many possible ways.
This is not meant to be a highly available solution for complex and unified cataloguing. Instead, it aims to provide a better user experience. The unique feature of this software is its ability handle documents stored on removable devices.
Enhancements:
- This release introduces keywords and global search. It is now possible not only to
- read a documents metadata, but also update them if the document is not
- write-protected. Global Seacrh perfomes search across all catalogs by keywords,
- subject, and authors criteria. Eclipse Forms and string resources are now used. The
- application is now internationalized, as all strings are relocated to resources.
- English and Russian translations are included. Translations are separated from main
- codebase and looks like a fragment addition. Mail me in case of you would like to
- help to translate in another language.

PolyGen project is a program for generating random sentences according to a grammar definition, that is following custom syntactical and lexical rules.

Formally, it is an interpreter of a language itself designed to define languages, where to interpret means executing a source program in real time and eventually outputting its result. Here, a source program is a grammar definition.

The execution consists of the exploration of such grammar by selecting a random path, and the result is the sentence built on the way.

JBuzzer project is a free java application that allows to load audio samples and assign them to keys on your computer keyboard. Currently audio samples in PCM (*.wav) and MPEG Layer 3 (*.mp3) are supported.

You may add as many slots for samples as your screen can fill, your RAM supports or your keyboard has different keys to the graphical user interface.

Why should I use JBuzzer?

If you are just interested in playing audio data like music, JBuzzer is definitively not the best choice. You should prefer jlgui or winamp.

JBuzzer main quality is to provide the ability of "just hitting a key to play a sample". I programmed a first version at home while working in a small blue office to cheer up my co-working students. It may also be used to release some pressure by throwing swear words on air.

To be able to utilize JBuzzer for this purpose your own creativity and some time is needed. Choose the audio samples you would like to use. Cut them with an audio editor (take care of copyrights). I myself for example used a preset containing samples of Helge Schneider, a german comedian and one with hip hop statements. Ey yo yo yo. Word up...

Coloryze is an application for generating color themes based on the theory of how hues can be combined. It supports monochromatic, complementary, split-complementary, double-complementary, analogous, and triadic schemes.
It can generate tables for a full range of saturation and brightness values, or it can randomly select a group of colors to comprise a theme. It generates both text and HTML, and an online version is available.
Enhancements:
- This version was fixed to properly use the background specified.
