Kantpoll was built with a focus on voting secrecy and auditability. After starting the server, create and manage campaigns in the browser (accessing http: //localhost:1985/home.html) Our principles: Transparency - people should not be fooled or manipulated. Privacy - people should not fear being observed, measured and analyzed. Anonymity - which ensures that people will not be subjected to sanctions or reprimands. Security - protection of voters' data and communications. Decentralization - data about campaigns should not be subject to censorship. Internationalization - language should not be an obstacle to voter participation. Representativeness - technology should help to bring closer voters to candidates. Simplicity - everyone should be able to vote and every organization should be able to create a campaign. Scalability - which ensures that campaigns will be processed efficiently. Flexibility - there is no ideal format for a campaign, the code must be open to innovation.

A simple Python-based web framework for viewing and editing genealogy data. Allows users to browse your family tree and make changes, such as adding new people, adding or deleting images, or notes and stories. Works with GEDCOM v5.5 and Spyce.

k5nBookReader is a Java Swing application for finding, downloading and reading electronic books. The initial release supports only plain text books from Project Gutenberg.

Python and pygame cross platform program to exercise the brain with the intention of enhancing useful field of view, also known as speed of responsiveness. This yields benefits in driving, motility, and even depressive symptoms, as described in research papers of randomized, double blind trials. Whether ufov exercise the brain to yield those benefits is unknown, since there are no research studies using it. The research is conducted with a commercial product that I have not seen or used. I used the description of what useful field of view is supposed to do to create this program for experimental purposes. I notice personal changes from using the program, but that is only anecdotal evidence. I was especially struck by the research that found a significant decrease in dementia for those who used such a program to exercise their brain. For a full description of the program, and links to some information about useful field of view, see the project web page.

wfb2sql is a Perl script that extracts information from the CIA World Factbook and creates SQL statements for IBM DB/2, PostgreSQL or MySQL. This data builds a perfect database for learning and teaching SQL.

MCPower-GUI is a desktop application that provides a graphical interface for the MCPower Monte Carlo power analysis library. It guides users through the full workflow across three tabs: Model setup (formula input with live parsing, CSV data upload with auto-detected variable types, effect size sliders, and correlation editing), Analysis configuration (find power for a given sample size or find the minimum sample size for a target power, with multiple testing correction and scenario analysis), and Results (interactive charts, exportable tables, and auto-generated Python replication scripts). Supports both standard linear models and mixed-effects models. Additional features include analysis history, configurable scenarios, and built-in documentation.

Belief revision is a central topic in knowledge representation and reasoning. It consists in incorporating a new belief, changing as few as possible of the original beliefs while preserving consistency. Revision always considers new evidence as a better belief. Such new evidence is usually represented in the form of a propositional formula which must be preserved after the revision. Here, the Δps (PS-Merge) belief merging operator is extended in order to consider constraints, and this extension is used as a strategy for belief revision. The new evidence is treated as a constraint so the extended merging operator can obtain the revised belief base.

The aim of Deed Mapper is to provide a relationship map between the parties of legal documents, the properties they relate to and the families that owned them over time. Deeds are often an overlooked resource by family historians. Written in what might seem impenetrable legal language to the researcher and using terms that are unfamiliar in modern usage. This is a mistake as they often provide the framework for putting together family, social and business relationships. They link property to people through business transactions. This “Deed Map” application is built using an Open Source tool TiddlyWiki and a key component TiddlyMap which provides a graphical representation of the relationships.

GEDCOM is the standard for storing genealogical data. When provided with two GEDCOM files, GEDFuse will combine the data into a single file. GEDFuse uses a very simple method of combining two files and does not make attempts to merge common records.

Genea is an database-driven application for storing person-related data of whole regions and creating family-trees. These can be printed, saved as image-files and exchange with other genealogy-applications utilizing the GEDCOM-format.

Hirtius is a web-based historical research assistant created by Les Ateliers du Héron. Its goal is to replace the historian's notebook and box of cards, while providing a collaborative work environment for a whole team of researchers, that can be thought of as a purpose-built CMS cross-bred with a digital pictures management system, a genealogy application and a Wiki. Eventually, based on the information you stored in the application, and the links you created between the various data elements, Hirtius will also help you prepare the draft version of your scholarly papers.

The old book of changes ("I Ching" in Chinese) was born as a binary oracle (Yin/Yang) and evolved to become a wise sacred book. The I Ching application provides random hexagram generation to consult each of the 64 different I Ching configurations.

Calculators became available in the early 70's, soon after the integrates circuits, and several companies were competing with each other for a share of this market. Texas Instruments was one of the bigger companies producing calculators. With RCL it is possible to recreate the TI calculators, strating with the Ti59e, with 960 program steps and a persistant memory (a combination of the the Ti58C and the Ti59). RCL offers any person interested in the ancient ones in calculators (more specific: TI calculators) an option to have your old calculator under your control again. Looking for user manuals? go to http://www.rskey.org/CMS/index.php/the-library/12 (The site owner does a great job at preserving the history and the documentation of calculators of the period.) RCL is targetting developers interested in applying the Von Neumann architecture and attributed grammars and developers with a need to do complex calculations in their applciacation.

C++ and Python based open source graph visualization and analysis software, primarily intended for use in the analysis of social networks (other applications are also conceivable).

This project proposes a virtual laboratory for social scientists interested in the modelling, analysis and behavioral simulation of power relationships within organizations and more generally in systems of collective action. This software is grounded on the works lead by Sibertin-Blanc and Roggero on the formalization of the Sociology of Organised Action [Crozier and Freidberg]. Visit the homepage of the project on soclabproject.wordpress.com for tutorials, examples and further theoretical position.

Convert a sound file to text you can analyze to spot hidden words for psychological or universal-philosophical interpretation. The program will convert a sound file to text, with the purpose of analyzing it to spot intelligible words. Use the program with songs, movie or TV dialogue, private recordings, to reveal the hidden text messages of the sound. The resulting text will be a long string of mostly repeating characters but, every so often, you will notice an intelligible word, either spelled normally or with repeated letters, missing letters or anagrammed letters. It takes a little allegoric-Freudian psychological exegetic ability to elaborate the right chain of mind associations to infer a convincing interpretation of the resulting text. You may want to share the text with a psychologist to get a professional opinion on your interpretation, but sometimes the meaning will be surprisingly obvious.

The Gedcom parser library is a C library that provides an API to applications to parse and process arbitrary genealogy files in the standard gedcom format.

The behavioral analysis programs can record and analyse marital, family, or peer interactions, or animal and fish behaviour, in field or laboratory settings. The effect size calculators are provided as separate tools for reviewing published papers.
