AbstractBackgroundNCBI BLAST is a most popularly used sequence analysis platform in a broad range of applications. The final release of standalone WWW BLAST server (wwwBLAST v2.2.26) of NCBI was officially released on May 10, 2004, and discontinued its support. Due to the popularity and high demand, the BLAST algorithms were refined with rich features and released as online BLAST, standalone BLAST+, BLAST RESTful service, and cloud BLAST server. locBLAST v2.0 is a lightweight PHP library, designed in preference to WWW BLAST server. It masks command-line BLAST+ programs to a rich graphical user interface (GUI).MethodsThe locBLAST v2.0 library was designed using PHP, CSS, pure JavaScript, and standalone NCBI BLAST+ executables.ResultslocBLAST v2.0 provides an interactive web interface to input query sequences through the web form and provides a graphical report of the sequence alignment result. The graphical overview, tabular summary, and formatted sequence alignment of locBLAST v2.0 result mimic to the native format of online NCBI BLAST result. It allows users to perform both local and online database search.AvailabilityFreely available at https://github.com/AshokHub/locBLAST

A new model for ship design calculations is presented that separates the graphical user interface (GUI) from the calculations (CALC). Design programs can now be defined as more than one interactive graphical user interface tied to one calculation. Several different GUIs can be created for one CALC engine and one GUI can be created to launch several CALC engines in sequence. The GUI of choice is a spreadsheet due to its availability, programmable customization, powerful analysis tools, cross-platform capability, and open code environment.

In order to make EnergyPlus easier to use in China, VisualEPlus, a Chinese graphical user interface for the program, has been developed. VisualEPlus is designed to be generic, so that it can be used in any country, as well as be linked to other modeling tools and interfaces for EnergyPlus. VisualEPlus has three main modules: (1) a Building Loads Module for defining the building geometry, envelope, and space conditions that has been adapted from an existing DOE-2 interface (DOE2IN); (2) a HVAC System Module with a drag-and-drop feature for defining the HVAC system; and (3) a View Report Module with a reporting and visualization tool for EnergyPlus reports and outputs. This paper presents the background and development of VisualEPlus, describes its main functions and features as compared to other existing interfaces for EnergyPlus, and discusses plans for the further development of VisualEPlus.

With the program StructureFinder it is possible to find single-crystal diffraction measurements stored in any location on a computer. StructureFinder collects the unit-cell information and other data from previous measurements and stores them in a database. Searching is performed via a graphical user interface, and both a stand-alone program and a web interface are available.

Abstract Microorganisms produce natural products that are frequently used in the development of antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer drugs, pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. In recent years, genome mining has evolved into a prominent method to access this potential. antiSMASH is one of the most popular tools for this task. Here, we present version 3 of the antiSMASH database, providing a means to access and query precomputed antiSMASH-5.2-detected biosynthetic gene clusters from representative, publicly available, high-quality microbial genomes via an interactive graphical user interface. In version 3, the database contains 147 517 high quality BGC regions from 388 archaeal, 25 236 bacterial and 177 fungal genomes and is available at https://antismash-db.secondarymetabolites.org/.

This study is a research and development study that used systematic approaches as an operational concept. The objectives of the study included: (1) To study the usage demands of an on-screen interactive Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the Faculty of Education database. (2) To create 3D models and study their efficiency in the usage of an on-screen interactive GUI for the Faculty of Education database. (3) To evaluate the perception and utilization of 3D models in the usage of an on-screen interactive GUI for the Faculty of Education database. The population in this study included; (1) 100 staff and students in the Faculty of Education – who were selected using Purposive Sampling to study usage demands of an on-screen interactive GUI for the Faculty of Education database. (2) 5 experts and 40 staff and students of the Faculty of Education – who were selected using Purposive Sampling to study the efficiency of 3D models in the usage of an on-screen interactive GUI for the Faculty of Education database. (3) 300 staff and students of Ramkhamhaeng University who used 3D models with the on-screen interactive GUI of the Faculty of Education database within the 1-month test period of the study. The research instruments used in this study were: (1) a questionnaire about usage demands of an on-screen interactive GUI for the Faculty of Education database, (2) an expert opinion evaluation form, and (3) an assessment form for perception and utilization of 3D models in the usage of an on-screen interactive GUI for the Faculty of Education database – all of which were found with .930 reliability and item discrimination values between .71 - .85.
