[Puma-repository-applications] PUMA Unit Converter helps to create a modern thyroid simulator

[Johannes W. D. <joh...@ru...>]

On occasion of the World Thyroid Day on May 25th, 2014, a new version  
of SimThyr has been released. SimThyr is open source software for  
simulation of thyroid homeostasis (hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid  
feedback control).

Version 3.3 of SimThyr adopts the most recent version of PUMA Unit  
Converter, which replaces an older custom solution in SimThyr. The  
PUMA module has been extensively tested and is regularly updated.  
Therefore, using the Unit Converter promises a higher reliability of  
the overall application.

Conversely, special requirements of SimThyr, a computation-intensive  
application, necessitated the advancement of the Unit Converter. Due  
to SimThyr's needs it now introduced new functions for pre-calculating  
conversion factors for time-critical applications.

SimThyr 3.3 is available for free from http://simthyr.sf.net for  
Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
