A rare event: I have found an NMR program that's been a pleasure to inspect. It comes with an HTML manual (with pictures) and sample data. These two ingredients remove the usual obstacle for learning (you rarely guess right how to arrive to a frequency domain spectrum). In this case, instead, I could easily open one of the included sample spectra, because they come with their own processing scripts, and experiment with the buttons (relying on the help of the yellow tips). It's clear that they spent their time and money in making this program. It's well done. The program is called ProSpect ND and comes from Utrecth . It's completely free. In theory, it's cross-platform. I have tested the Windows version. Why isn't it more famous? Well, to start with the name, it is focused on multi-dimensional spectroscopy and favors serious processing and flexibility over simplicity of use. You realize this fact from the very beginning. To open a spectrum (Bruker or Varian, no ...

They say that students buy Macs. Is it true? If it is so, and you are a student, be sure to check this promotion out. It's a full-fledged, up-to-date application, offered at a price that's certainly affordable for any student. It's possible to test the product before buying it, of course. ...and you can even leave your comment here below!

Il mercato ormai di questo ritmo sta scontando la fine del mondo, altro che recessione! Se per caso avete perso del denaro in questi giorni, potete consolarvi in fondo era solo carta straccia. Presto torneremo al baratto, torneremo ad essere agricoltori, due galline, una capretta per il latte, ci potremo sedere intorno ad un focolare e stringerci con i nostri familiari e le persone pi� care, il pianeta non sar� pi� inquinato, sar� un luogo pi� vivibile,niente stress, niente lavoro forzato, il capo che rompe le palle, niente pi� calcio e calciatori fighette, niente pi� auto, Briatore e cocainomani del billionaire, niente pi� grande fratello e isola dei coglioni...che spettacolo forse stiamo andando verso un mondo migliore e allora forza S&P 500 ancora 900 punti verso lo zero! Hahahaha! taken from Ferro Azzurro Will all the NMR programs resist to this crisis?

In 2007 Carlos proposed to me a joint project to invent a new algorithm for 2D automatic phase correction. There were two reasons why I replied negatively. First thing first, I am doing research with no grants and no salary. Although there was the certainty of making some money in case the algorithm had been invented, I was doubtful that I could invent this thing any time soon. The second reason was that I have fun correcting the phase manually and I didn't want to spoil my fun. Instead of admitting that any normal person would benefit from an automatic procedure, I am still tempted to teach manual phase correction to everybody, guessing that they can have the same fun that I have. Carlos accepted my answers, at least the first reason. The story seemed to end there, but it was not forever. This summer I wrote to Carlos that I really couldn't find anything interesting to do during my holidays and that it was better to do some work. He said he had an idea to keep me busy. Guess w...

The canonical sequence is: Rance -> FT -> shuffle -> FT -> shuffle -> FT This is the result: The following sequence also arrives there: FT -> Rance -> shuffle -> FT -> shuffle -> FT which proves the commutability between FT and Rance. When I try this: FT -> shuffle -> FT -> Rance -> shuffle -> FT the result is:

I have a challenge for you. It's a puzzle that I can't find the solution to. Before your challenge, I need to finish the story of my challenge (I already told the beginning and the middle part: see previous posts). To tell my story, however, I need to explain my language first. When I asked for help, on September 9, nobody understood what I really needed, because we speak different languages. While I look at the mathematical description of NMR processing, you think at the software command that performs it. This time I will try to be the clearest I can. The world of NMR is complicated because every program stores data in a different way. There is the sequential storage and the storage in blocks, the little endian and the big endian, the interleaved and the non-interleaved. Add to this that the spectrometer is free, when writing the data on disc, to change the sign to a part of the points. When acquiring a multidimensional spectrum, which is made of many FIDs, it is also free to ...

I want to thank Dan, Rolf and Richard who answered to my request for help. I have carefully studied their replies, including the enclosed documents, and I have learned to process a couple of beautiful 3D Varian spectra. There are other cases that still resist to my attempts, yet the progress is remarkable. I have decided to share my work with you (and anybody else). Instead of publishing the details (that few would read), I have uploaded the program that processes THOSE 3D spectra (see previous post). It's lightweight and it's free. The access is also unrestricted. What else you want? Simplicity? It's included! Even a kid could transform a 3D spectrum...
