by HaMLeT (http://freshmeat.net/users/vmarchese/)
Thu, Oct 9th 2008 20:31
Scientific/Engineering
About: AcouSTO is a linear acoustics solver based on a Boundary Element
Method (BEM) solution of the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz Integral Equation (KHIE).
The code is written in C, and includes an MPI-based preliminary
parallelization scheme. Plan wave scattered by a unit sphere. An (extended)
FORTRAN version of this code has been used for years in the authors'
research group, and has reached a remarkable level of reliability. The
numerical formulation has been well assessed, as the large number of
scientific papers produced throughout the years demonstrates.

Desktop Environment :: Gnome
System :: Archiving :: Backup
About: Back In Time is a simple backup system for the GNOME desktop
inspired by the "flyback project" and "TimeVault". The backup is done by
taking snapshots of a specified set of directories. All you have to do is
configure: where to save snapshot, what directories to backup, and when a
backup should be done (manually, every hour, every day, every week, or
every month). It acts as a "user mode" backup system. This means that you
can backup and restore only folders to which you have write access.

About: The Big Faceless PDF Library is a Java class library for creating

AcroForms, PDF's answer to the HTML form. Like HTML forms, PDF forms can
contain text boxes, radio buttons, and can call JavaScript functions. The
Extended Edition also includes a PDF reader for importing and editing,
along with FDF support, verification for digital signatures and text
extraction. Both variations offer full Unicode support, encryption,
embedded TrueType and Type1 fonts, barcodes, hyperlinks, and spot and
calibrated color.
Changes: A large internal rewrite of font handling now correctly renders
some edge cases that weren't handled before, and improves font substitution
for CJK fonts. OutputProfile.Feature.MergeResources has been added, which
will attempt to merge duplicate resources such as fonts and images when
concatenating multiple PDF files. IntelligentMail BarCode, the next
generation of USPS routing code, has been added. OpenTypeFonts containing
CFF outlines now have correct sizes returned from
getTextTop/getTextBottom(). XFA-only PDFs can now have their XFA data
updated via Form.setXFADataSets().

losing any downloads.
