			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boinc is open source software for volunteer and grid computing. Once installed it can use the unused CPU and GPU cycles on a computer to do scientific computing.</p>
<p>It lets you donate your idle computer time to science projects like SETI@home, Climateprediction.net, Rosetta@home, World Community Grid, and many others.</p>
<p>Upon launching the application you will be prompted to choose projects to support. You will also be able to regulate the percentage of time that BOINC is allowed to compute in the application&#8217;s comprehensive options panel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gephi is an application for network visualization and analysis. It helps data analysts to intuitively reveal patterns and trends, highlight outliers and tell stories with their data. It uses a 3D render engine to display large graphs in real-time and to speed up the exploration. </p>
<p>Watch an introduction to the Gephi:</p>
<p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/9726202" width="440" height="250" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>Gephi can be applied to the following areas:</p>
<p>- <strong>Exploratory Data Analysis</strong>: intuition-oriented analysis by networks manipulations in real time.</p>
<p>- <strong>Link Analysis</strong>: revealing the underlying structures of associations between objects, in particular in scale-free networks.</p>
<p>- <strong>Social Network Analysis</strong>: easy creation of social data connectors to map community organizations and small-world networks.</p>
<p>- <strong>Biological Network analysis</strong>: representing patterns of biological data.</p>
<p>- <strong>Poster creation</strong>: scientific work promotion with hi-quality printable maps.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apache CouchDB is a document-oriented database that can be queried and indexed in a MapReduce fashion using JavaScript. CouchDB also offers incremental replication with bi-directional conflict detection and resolution.</p>
<p>CouchDB provides a RESTful JSON API than can be accessed from any environment that allows HTTP requests. There are myriad third-party client libraries that make this even easier from your programming language of choice. CouchDB’s built in Web administration console speaks directly to the database using HTTP requests issued from your browser.</p>
<p>CouchDB is written in Erlang, a robust functional programming language ideal for building concurrent distributed systems. Erlang allows for a flexible design that is easily scalable and readily extensible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scrapy is a fast high-level screen scraping and web crawling framework, used to crawl websites and extract structured data from their pages. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, from data mining to monitoring and automated testing.</p>
<p>Key features include:</p>
<p>- Simple: Scrapy was designed with simplicity in mind, by providing the features you need without getting in your way.</p>
<p>- Productive- Just write the rules to extract the data from web pages and let Scrapy crawl the entire web site for you.</p>
<p>- Fast: Scrapy is used in production crawlers to completely scrape more than 500 retailer sites daily, all in one server.</p>
<p>- Extensible: Scrapy was designed with extensibility in mind and so it provides several mechanisms to plug new code without having to touch the framework core.</p>
<p>- Portable: Scrapy runs on Linux, Windows, Mac and BSD<br />
Open Source and 100% Python.</p>
<p>- Scrapy is completely written in Python, which makes it very easy to hack.</p>
<p>- Well-tested: Scrapy has an extensive test suite with very good code coverage.</p>
<p>For a full overview of Scrapy, see the &#8216;<a href="http://doc.scrapy.org/intro/overview.html">Scrapy at a glance</a>&#8216; wiki page.</p>
