His computing career began at 19, as a programmer writing code to automate the calculation of electrical rates and customer billing for a utility company in Utah.
At the same time, programmable computers were making it possible to automate the calculation and tabling of volume estimates.
The N-SIF approach is still too cumbersome for practical applications; the SED approach seems promising to overcome shortcomings, to be applied flexibly to different joint geometries and possibly to automate the calculation procedure in finite element analysis.
A custom command was developed in the geomedia grid environment to automate the calculation of all pairwise distances along waterways between sampling sites.
Regarding the availability of computational tools, we provide references to programs that automate the calculations of the Markov basis and perform the triangulations necessary to describe the geometry of landscapes, and these tools can be applied to other datasets.
The relative position of each landmark was determined using a script written for UTHSCSA Image Tool software (downloaded from http://ddsdx.uthscsa.edu/dig/itdesc.html) and the resulting data were imported into SAS [55] to automate the centroid-size calculation.
The reader was connected to a computer loaded with ELISA Data Information (EDI) software (FAO/IAEA, Vienna, Austria), which was used to automate the reading and calculation of the percentage of inhibition (PI) values.
The scanned image was saved in TIFF format in a portable computer and then processed using a Graphic User Interface (GUI) designed in our laboratory to obtain analytical curves and to automate the mathematics and statistics calculations.
Python scripts are written to automate the docking, the probability calculation and the peptide sequence determination procedures.
That is because today's computers owe their ancestry not to Babbage but to the work of another 19th-century pioneer, Hermann Hollerith.In contrast to Babbage, who wanted to automate the fiddly business of mathematical calculation, Hollerith was interested in the less esoteric (but equally tedious) field of data processing.
