Computer Inventory Tracking Report Tool
Owner:

This program was designed for internal use. The underlying SQL tables are updated and administered using an Access link front-end. The Report Tool allows users without admin permissions to view query results and print reports for hardware and software tracking. The program presents database relationships in a point-and-click manner specific to the user's requests. E.g. Click on a computer to see the user, software, and peripherals; Click on the user to see other items assigned to the user.
Crop Sequence Calculator, version 3 (Data versions
2.2+)
Owner: United States Department of Agriculture - Agricultural
Research Service, Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory
http://www.mandan.ars.usda.gov/
This program is publicly distributed. The Crop Sequence Calculator is designed to disseminate the results of ongoing crop sequence experiments at the Great Plains Lab being conducted by Dr. Joe Krupinsky, et al. The user chooses a sequence of two crops and is presented with specific recommendations and return calculations for that combination. The user can also read a library of detailed information also contained on the disk. The program runs from the disk on most Windows systems, and the Information system is viewable through a web browser. This version of the Crop Sequence Calculator uses embedded IE and Gecko technology to drive the information system. The enhanced flexibility of this version allows the data to be updated without having to write a new version of the program.

AgroEcosystem Performance Assessment Tool
Owner: United
States Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Research Service, Northern
Great Plains Research Laboratory
http://www.mandan.ars.usda.gov/
This program is an extension of papers published by Dr. Mark Liebig, et. al. The papers deal with using normalization functions to rate the performance success of various Agronomic/Ecosystem management techniques on an arbitrary numeric scale, although the concept can easily be applied to any field of research for which a researcher would like to quantitatively compare two systems. The tool inputs the collected data and guides the user through the process of calculating the performance scores.

WinSpur (SPUR 2.4 for Windows)

This program is publicly distributed. "SPUR2 is a general grassland ecosystem simulation model designed to determine beef cattle performance and production by simultaneously simulating production of up to 15 plant species on 36 heterogeneous grassland sites. SPUR2 simulates grassland hydrology, nitrogen cycling, and soil organic matter on grazed ecosystems as well as rangeland production under different climatic regimes, environmental conditions, and management alternatives. " SPUR is the culmination of research by Dr. Jon Hanson, et. al.
WinSpur builds on the original DOS program that was created in the 1980's and early 90's. The FORTRAN simulation core was recompiled for 32-bit windows, and the DOS-menu interface was replaced by a windows interface. The user interface allows the user to manage projects and edit the configurable parameters in the projects. The program is designed for version 2.4 projects, but users can import the older 2.2 projects, although they may need to specify additional parameters after importing.
