Terms of use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The software stemcell is freely available and part of its sources can be also requested by email \u2026
I only ask you to cite my articles containing a reference to the specific function you are using or (for the moment) this web site. Alas in this situation only a limited support will be given apart form the manual. Bug reporting is always welcome anyway.
Conversely if you feel you need more advanced functions, support, training or scientific experise feel free to contact me for a collaboration. In particular feel free to cantact me for simulation of the HAADF contrast.
Since the STEM_CELL process is still under developement a limited part of the function is available in the free version but more will be added the next months. For a list of the main fetures already available go to the here linked section of this document.
At the moment of your request for password you will be inserted in a user mailing list that I will use to communicate new updates of the programs. You can be unsubscribed at any moment\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A short story of this idea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I came to the idea of writing STEM_CELL in 2004 when I was tired of writng many matlab script which could hardly talk with each other and were dispersed everey where in my hard disk. My discovery was that in EM simulation and analysis you have to do similar operation in many different circumstances.
I started with a C++ program based on the nice Kylix IDE-compiler which permitted to develop rapid graphic applications in quite the same way I was used to in Borland  C++ for windows. Linux was an ideal environment for long simulations and for c++ programming. In my case STEM_CELL was born to dialogate with the Kirkland<\/a> routines. Unfortunately the kylix project has now been abandoned \u2026 I therefore migrated my project to windows that, unfortunately, does not integrate so well with long simulations.
Meanwhile many things have happened since I have written a parallel version of the Kirkland<\/a> routines to simulate the HAADF images and I am migrating this project to large cluster for which the graphical interface cannot be directly applied.
I have used in this years STEM_CELL to create and test new analysis methods still not completeluy published , it is  therefore natural that part of the project is not totally freely available. Meanwhile I think that I can share important algorithms like GPA that would be otherwise obtained as comercial software.
Other parts will be soon made available and in particular the peak-pair analysis and the MEM filter for the STEM images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before download<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The program STEM_CELL has been tested successfully on both Windows XP and Vista but should be in principle compatible with all previous versions of windows. Alas on windows Vista important isssue may come on the read only protections on many  folders built in Vista.
During the installation of STEM_CELL you will be asked to select a few folder, it is important that in all cases you grant a full access to these directories by changing the appropiate properties of the folders.
Alternatively the program can be installed outside the usual C\/programs partitions in a location which is not system reserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The code is portected by GPL<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Download<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can dowload the installer or the update the for free by subscribing at this site (register).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upgrade is a copy of the executable file stem_cell.exe that must be substituted to the old executable with the same name in the correct folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upgrades are of 2 kinds : default  and optimized<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally optimized is better ( faster) but default provides more compatibility for example on mac user with emulation or wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to ask you not to spread the software  to collegues but to ask them to subscribe<\/a>, so that I can have track of all users.
This is usefull for statistical reasons and to comunicate you on important updates (it is not a SPAM list : typically  less than 1 mail in a month).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installation instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The file install.exe is a self extracting executable so you shoul not have problem to install it. However newer system (Vista and win7 ) may have some permission issues when  acessing system folders. In this case you may want to try another installation an database directory outside the system tree , this usually solves the problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For sake of simplicity the program also ships in your installation dirctory a compile of kirkland<\/a> code and an old version with very few changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appropiate setting of environmental variables necessary to start simulation from with STEM_CELL is performed automatically with the new installation software so if you have a version <2.3.1.3 download the setup.exe<\/a> and reinstall from scratch. Moreover to actvate the environmetal setting it can be necessary to restart  your PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to contact me for information and help<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE: Some users have experienced problems on notebooks with very low number of pixels (minimum pixel 650 x 900).
Linux user see FAQ<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manuals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A basic manual is  available for a few basic functions.<\/a>
[wpdm_file id=4]
The single applications will soon have their own manual:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
