GNUveau Networks builds solar-powered Linux computer networks for remote villages (vi

11-04-2008 12:00 PM
Scott Johnson of GNUveau Networks has developed a solar-powered Internet "hub" system (running Ubuntu GNU/Linux) that he builds to order in his Daytona Beach, Florida, home. His objective is to bring computers and the Internet to places that have no connectivity, no phone service, and no electricity. This is no pipe dream. There are real SolarNetOne installations running in Africa right now, providing wireless connectivity and "Internet Cafe" access to hundreds of people. The system uses off-the-shelf hardware that Scott modifies to run on 12V -- and to use a lot less power than the stock versions. As Scott says, in solar-powered computer installations, "The Watt is king."

NAME
Bio::PhyloNetwork::FactoryX - Module to sequentially generate Phylogenetic Networks SYNOPSIS
use strict; use warnings; use Bio::PhyloNetwork; use Bio::PhyloNetwork::Factory; # Will generate sequentially all the 4059 binary tree-child phylogenetic # networks with 4 leaves my $factory=Bio::PhyloNetwork::Factory->new(-numleaves=>4); my @nets; while (my $net=$factory->next_network()) { push @nets,$net; print "".(scalar @nets).": ".$net->eNewick()." "; } DESCRIPTION
Sequentially builds a (binary tree-child) phylogenetic network each time next_network is called. AUTHOR
Gabriel Cardona, gabriel(dot)cardona(at)uib(dot)es SEE ALSO
Bio::PhyloNetwork APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. new Title : new Usage : my $factory = new Bio::PhyloNetwork::Factory(); Function: Creates a new Bio::PhyloNetwork::Factory Returns : Bio::PhyloNetwork::RandomFactory Args : -numleaves => integer OR -leaves => reference to an array (of leaves names) -numhybrids => integer [default = numleaves -1] -recurse => boolean [optional] Returns a Bio::PhyloNetwork::Factory object. Such an object will sequentially create binary tree-child phylogenetic networks each time next_network is called. If the parameter -leaves=>@leaves is given, then the set of leaves of these networks will be @leaves. If it is given the parameter -numleaves=>$numleaves, then the set of leaves will be "l1"..."l$numleaves". If the parameter -numhybrids=>$numhybrids is given, then the generated networks will have at most $numhybrids hybrid nodes. Note that, necessarily, $numhybrids < $numleaves. If the parameter -recurse=>1 is given, then all networks with number of hybrid nodes less or equal to $numhybrids will be given; otherwise only those with exactly $numhybrids hybrid nodes. next_network Title : next_network Usage : my $net=$factory->next_network() Function: returns a network Returns : Bio::PhyloNetwork Args : none perl v5.14.2 2012-03-02 Bio::PhyloNetwork::FactoryX(3pm)
