ELBAMAP (Electrophoresis Band Management Package) is a 41-kbyte program written in Borland Turbo Pascal, which will run on IBM PC compatible machines. The program consists of 16 procedures involved ...in data entry, calculation, comparison and graphic representation of banding patterns. These procedures are selected interactively in response to a main menu and a series of prompts. Database files may be stored for subsequent analysis or addition of data. Pairwise comparisons of banding patterns may be stored as a similarity matrix suitable for use by other packages which will carry out multivariate or cluster analysis. The system has been used successfully for storage and comparison of plasmid DNA digest patterns analysed by agarose gel electrophoresis and seed protomer profiles analysed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
A Turbo Pascal program for data acquisition and analysis is presented. The program detects incoming data as TTL pulses through the serial port of an IBM-PC and compatible computers and displays the ...instantaneous frequency plot and the interval histogram on-line. Novel features of this Pascal program are: no special hardware requirements and on-line analysis of more than one source at a time. No hardware additions to the supplied computer and easy operation make this program a valuable tool, directly useable in an IBM-PC and compatible computers.
We describe a user-friendly software package using Turbo Pascal language under MS-DOS environment for estimating LD50 and LD90 by Logit Analysis with a X2 test of goodness of fit for the model.
Offers examples of loss of accuracy when using digital computing devices. Discusses causes for loss of accuracy and methods of preventing loss. Presents implications that loss of accuracy has for ...mathematics instruction. (MDH)
A gait analysis system is described. It is designed for clinical use as well as research purposes. The system is simple to operate and can be used by non-computer specialist. The design philosophy is ...straightforward and allows for easy adaptation to other systems. Samples of the output are presented.
BIO-1014 is an educational computer-based program written in TURBO PASCAL 3.01 which simulates experiments of antitumour activity. Basically, this program offers the user the possibility of checking ...the therapeutical efficiency of anticancer drugs as applied to different tumors, but many other types of experiment can be also performed with BIO-1014. Drugs such as methotrexate, cyclophosphamide and arabinosylcytosine can be tested on the following tumors: sarcoma, carcinoma, leukemia and melanoma. The dose, the number of treatments per day, the total number of treatments and the time interval between the treatments are the parameters to be adjusted for each therapeutical schedule. Tumoral growth, cause of death and survival are among the results that are generated after each simulation. These results are either tabulated or plotted. In addition, four statistical tests have also been integrated to the program in order to provide with a way to check whether or not there is a significant difference in terms of survival between two groups of mice differently treated. Furthermore, the program has been elaborated to also consider some physiological phenomena met within an anticancer drug screening programme. The potential and the performance of the program BIO-1014 is presented and discussed.
Models can be used as teaching tools to study complex phenomena. This model uses simplifications of blood gas subroutines to provide fast execution of the effect of the distribution of ventilation ...and blood flow in the lung on arterial blood gases. Assumptions are made that introduce only small errors but that avoid the use of iterations which would slow down execution. The use of Turbo-Pascal as the programming language allows for not only speed in development and execution but also portability to a variety of computers including CP/M systems and IBM-PCs.
For a given power system a method is presented which for each week of a year or a subperiod of it allows to determine firstly the power reserve necessary for a definite reliability index, secondly ...the weeks with a deficiency of power reserve, and thirdly new maintenance schedules which guarantee to avoid or at least to decrease the deficiencies of power reserve. For rescheduling of maintenance two ways are derived applicable for short respectively large deficiencies of power reserve.
