A handy tool designed to help beginner Astronomers. The software Astronomy CCD Calculator uses NASA/SkyView survey resource which provides CCD images of the night sky.It helps you plan an observation by letting you play with different instruments resulting various "Fields Of View" so you can see what your camera will capture and choose the best target for the session.

WATS is an R package (>R2.15) whose main purpose is to run an individual-based simulation of an acoustically-assisted mark-recapture survey of whales Version 1.0 = for R2.15.x Version 1.01 = for R3.0.3+ For details see: Peel D, Miller BS, Kelly N, Dawson S, Slooten E and Double MC (2014) A simulation study of acoustic-assisted tracking of whales for mark-recapture surveys.

Evaluation of methods/software is considered as a very important procedure for any user who wants to know the actual performance of a scientific tool. For the implementation of such evaluation procedure several test cases - scenarios shall be run. Obtaining the necessary test data sets can be an obstacle due to both privacy issues and also the time and cost associated with collecting multiple instances of a diverse set of data sources. An efficient alternative is the design and use of...

SimAssem is a tool for investigating the performances of species richness estimators across widely ranging assemblages and survey designs. Assemblages are simulated by specifying the: 1) number of species, 2) total abundance of individuals, 3) abundance distribution, 4) spatial configuration, 5) species detection probabilities, 6) survey design, and 7) number of grid cells to survey (out of a square grid comprised of 10,000 cells). SimAssem also processes existing encounter data and formats existing and simulated encounter data for other programs. ...
