DAVE: Data Analysis and Visualization Environment. (News Briefs).NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology, Washington, DC, www.nist.gov) The standards-defining agency of the U.S. government, formerly the National Bureau of Standards. It is one of three agencies that fall under the Technology Administration (www.technology. scientists at the NIST Center for Neutron neutron, uncharged elementary particle of slightly greater mass than the proton. It was discovered by James Chadwick in 1932. The stable isotopes of all elements except hydrogen and helium contain a number of neutrons equal to or greater than the number of protons. Research have developed a new software tool for the reduction, visualization, and analysis of neutron inelastic scattering inelastic scattering n. The scattering of particles resulting from inelastic collision. data. DAVE A file sharing program from Thursby Software Systems, Inc., Arlington, TX (www.thursby.com) that allows a Macintosh to share files with a PC. Designed specifically for and needing installation only on the Mac, DAVE works with Microsoft's native SMB/CIFS file sharing protocols and uses , short for Data Analysis and Visualization Environment, is an integrated suite of interactive software tools with a visual interface for treating and analyzing neutron inelastic scattering data sets. With a few clicks of the mouse, users can reduce their data from one of the inelastic inelastic Of or relating to the demand for a good or service when quantity purchased varies little in response to price changes in the good or service. spectrometers, make cuts through the scattering function, and fit them with the lineshape of their choice from a library of model functions. The integration of these functions greatly simplifies moving among the different inelastic spectrometers. Moreover the software is designed so that users can easily add other instruments or more advanced analysis functions. DAVE is a stand alone executable application freely available for PC, Linux, and Mac platforms.
