Emma uses Ogre, an open, state-of-the-art game graphics engine, for its 3D rendering. http://www.ogre3d.org

The SOPs for sperm freezing, embryo freezing, superovulation, in vitro fertilization, transportation and the generation of germ-free mice are available in the SOPs section.

First of all, there is little chance that you will be able to use the on-the-fly mode (emmarun) with a full-blown J2EE container. The reason lies in the fact that many J2EE features require specialized classloading that will happen outside of EMMA instrumenting classloader. The server might run fine, but you will likely get no coverage data. Thus, the correct procedure is to instrument your classes prior to deployment (offline mode).

Instrumentation approach. EMMA belongs to a class of pure Java (i.e. not JVMPI- or JVMDI-based) coverage tools based on Java bytecode instrumentation. This means you don't need special JVM switches for enabling coverage: rather, you run EMMA-processed .class files more or less as you normally would (after adding EMMA as a runtime dependency). It also means EMMA does not instrument your .java sources (as is done by Clover, for example).

If embryos are to be frozen down EMMA requires the depositor to send several breeding animals, ideally 10 females and 6 males. The more breeding pairs the depositor can send the quicker the stock will be cryopreserved. For sperm freezing 6 males are sufficient. Depositors also have to provide a health status report for the mice they want to send. This report must be less than 3 months old.

For the shipment of live mice or frozen samples EMMA will charge €200 per strain. In addition, you have to cover the actual costs for shipping the material from the EMMA facilty.

Emma targets Windows, MacOS, and Linux in its cross-platform strategy. At this early date, we are only building for Windows so far.

Graphics cards are stated within the item description. If they're not stated, then presume them to be integrated.

Your English speaking guide will meet you at the pre-arranged pick-up point. He will drive you in our air-conditioned minibus to Emma. At the end of your cruise, he will drive you to a pre-arranged transfer point for your onward journey.

We use the Windows operating system to create and modify files for graphic and sign production. We are capable of importing some Macintosh file formats. Please contact us for details.

The depositor has to bear the expense of shipping the mice to the EMMA institute responsible for archiving the strain. However, EMMA does not charge the depositor for archiving mouse strains.

There is a link along the top and bottom of most pages on the bulletin board, in the upper right-hand corner of each page, that says faq. By clicking on this you will see exactly how to do the smilies and graphics. Also, when you go to post a new message, you will see a link that says "SMILIES" -- you can also click on this and it will open up a new window so that you can see how to use smilies and graphics without losing your post.

With the exception of the buttons and general framework, The Quail does all the banner images – except, of course, for the untouched photographs and any pictures of bookcovers and such. They are generally created using Adobe Photoshop and a Macintosh computer, after lots and lots of coffee and strange music.

To use the EMMA axenic service you have to complete the EMMA Axenic Service Request Form. Requests will be evaluated within 30 days by the EMMA Evaluation Committee. They will be handled on a 'first come, first served' basis. You should be able to provide 6 females and 3 males, ideally of SPF status.

I use Adobe Illustrator pretty much for everything. If I am hand drawing, I scan and then color in Photoshop, but Illustrator is what I use when I draw directly with the computer.

I am convinced that a site like mine must give information, that's its basic goal. And for the kind of information I offer plain text could even be enough. Of course graphics and look are desirable, but not so important. We are bothered every day by graphic-heavy sites that have no real information content and make you spend your money and your time (and you cannot gain time!) for nothing.

My controller seems digital (v0.5.3 betas); when I lightly press or rotate it goes to full on or off immediately. In data/controls/default.ini, try commenting out the sensitivity_rise and sensitivity_fall settings for the misbehaving controls.

It uses GL or OpenGL on IBM and SGI platforms, OpenGL on Suns, Starbase on the HPs, and OpenGL on DEC. The Data General version does not support hardware rendering. OpenDX uses OpenGL on PCs if available.
