ThermV / Blog: Recent posts

Ok, I was really busy with work, and that does not seem likely to let up any time soon. However, I am going to put together a paper for Software X journal which will give some additional information on how the program works, and allow all of you using the program to cite it. I was putting this off, hoping I would get to improve the code before I publish anything on it, but there is no point in waiting anymore.

Just wanted to let everyone know that this project is very much alive and in development. I am working on GUI integration, so the next version will be 0.4 with full GUI and maybe some expanded functionality. I am hoping to get it done by October, but we'll see how it goes.

Cheers

Added new files. Deconvolution to 4 peaks at 3 heating rates and to 5 peaks at 4 heating rates. This will probably be it for now. Next update will probably add more analysis. Expect GUI in about 2 months.

Here is the first functional version of ThermV. Right now, it does basic experimental peak analysis and automatic deconvolution. It will apply isoconversional methods on deconvoluted peaks (KAS, FWO and Ortega). It requires baseline-corrected data to work, as there is no baseline correction yet (this will be introduced with GUI, hopefully).

There is no user interface. You need Python 2.7 to run the scripts with math, numpy and scipy. Version with plot requires also mathplotlib. This version will plot a graph with experimental data and then a graph of deconvolution for each heating rate. This allows you to check if there are problems with automatic decovolution.... read more
