    Herschel Observatory sweep data and Stellarium plugin database
    (Rice University, 2021) Mulligan, John; Center for Research Computing
    This zip file relates to the deep-space astronomical sweeps of Caroline and William Herschel, conducted in Slough, England. It was hand-transcribed from records at the Royal Astronomical Society, and could be improved upon: corrections, expansions to include missing records or John Herschel's sweeps, for instance. It contains: the transcriptions of the parameters for 1,335 sweeps, in csv format -- python scripts for -- importing this csv data into an sqlite database, useful for tracking simulations and coordinating parallel processes -- transforming this csv file into an .ini file readable by: -- a plugin written in QT5 and C++ for Stellarium 0.90, which -- ingests this .ini file -- renders sweeps projected on the night sky -- renders real-time simulations of the sweep as seen by the observer (William) -- a readme file fully documenting the work as well as installation instructions

    Parallelizing Interproscan with SLURM
    (Rice University, 6/27/2023) Fulk, Emily M.; Goldman, Annelise L.; Momper, Lily; Heider, Clinton; Mulligan, John; Osburn, Magdalena; Masiello, Caroline A.; Silberg, Jonathan J.; Systems, Synthetic, and Physical Biology
    This repository contains code to facilitate analysis of large numbers of proteins by Interproscan with minimum user oversight and efficient use of computational resources. It provides templates for parallelizing Interproscan with SLURM on the Rice NOTS computing cluster, following a high-throughput computing model.

    Shakespeare Passages recommendation system
    (Rice University, 2021) Mulligan, John; Center for Research Computing
    This repository holds the code for an intertextual recommendation system that links passages in the Shakespearean dramatic corpus (as digitized by Folger) to one another based entirely on scholarly citations/quotations (as identified by JSTOR Labs in their collection of digitized works, and made available in what was called their Matchmaker API).

    The Electronic Vesalius: Embodying Anatomy Atlases
    (The MIT Press, 2018) Mulligan, John; Wettergreen, Matthew; Jin, Ying; Rasich, Benjamin; Phillips, Isaac
    A multidisciplinary team at Rice University transformed the Texas Medical Center (TMC) Library’s collection of rare anatomy atlases into a physical-digital, human-sized atlas-of-atlases. The Electronic Vesalius installation gives these old books new life, informed by contemporary media theory and the centuries of medical and aesthetic criticism provoked by these multimedia image-texts.

    The Road From DSpace 6 to DSpace 7 and Beyond: Building (and Building on) Two Modern Digital Repositories at Rice University
    (Rice University, 2024-06-03) Jin, Ying; Mulligan, John; Evans, Kenneth
    In October 2023, the Digital Scholarship Services team in Fondren Library at Rice University upgraded its digital repository. The process was both challenging, rewarding, and instructive for our future work on digital collections. We took a mixed approach in which 27% of our content was moved to Quartex, which could be curated as digital cultural heritage, 11% was retired, and the remainder migrated from the DSpace 6.4 system to the new 7.6 deployment. We are now using our two new platforms’ APIs to enable a microservices-based approach to customized UI presentations for special collections, and semi-automatic metadata enrichment, and document submission workflows. This poster describes our preliminary attempts in this space on two collections: geo-located photographs of Chinese subway advertisements over two decades and the geographically dispersed papers relating to the United States President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology
