We present an overview of the free GNU Network Object Model Environment (GNOME). GNOME is a suite of X11 GUI applications that provides joy to users and hackers alike. It has been designed for extensibility and automation by using CORBA and scripting languages throughout the code. GNOME is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL and the GNU LGPL and has been developed on the Internet by a loose...

CDOG (Clarkson Deepwater Oil and Gas) model simulates the behavior of oil and gas released from deepwater. The model integrates the hydrodynamics of the jet/plume, the thermodynamics, and the hydrate formation and decomposition. CDOG simulates both the dynamics of the jet/plume phase and the farfield conditions during the rise of oil/gas/hydrates through the water column. CDOG allows gas/hydrat...

We present a dataset of the open source software ecosystem GNOME from a social point of view. We have collected historical data about the contributors to all GNOME projects stored on git.gnome.org, taking into account the problem of identity matching, and associating different activity types to the contributors. This type of information is very useful to complement the traditional, source-code ...

Gold nanoparticle mediated (GNOME) laser transfection/perforation fulfills the demands of a reliable transfection technique. It provides efficient delivery and has a negligible impact on cell viability. Furthermore, it reaches high-throughput applicability. However, currently only large gold particles (> 80 nm) allow successful GNOME laser perforation, probably due to insufficient sedimentation...

The Global Network of Optical Magnetometers for Exotic physics searches (GNOME) conducts an experimental search certain forms dark matter based on their spatiotemporal signatures imprinted a global array synchronized atomic magnetometers. experiment described here looks gradient coupling axion-like particles (ALPs) with proton spins as signature locally dense objects such domain walls. In this ...

Oil spill patterns detected from Envisat ASAR images were integrated with hydrodynamic and oil spill trajectory models for the purposes of understanding the August 11, 2006 M/T Solar 1 oil spill, and to evaluate the accuracy of the oil spill patterns simulated by an oil trajectory model. The oil spill incident event that occurred a few kilometers southwest of Guimaras Island in Panay Gulf and I...

Recent advances in high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (3C) technology, such as Hi-C and ChIA-PET, have demonstrated the importance of 3D genome organization in development, cell differentiation and transcriptional regulation. There is now a widespread need for computational tools to generate and analyze 3D structural models from 3C data. Here we introduce our 3D GeNOme Modeling Eng...

Free Software has certain characteristics that create usability problems. Translations are usually not considered as possible causes of those problems. Several areas in the GNOME desktop environment are shown to suffer from decreased usability caused by translations. A number of measures are proposed to improve the situation.
