QFS fit for Am
by Daria Boglaienko 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

Hello, I have tried quick first shell fit for various compounds, but it does not work for Am. It does run fit for organic compound of Eu but it does not run fit for similar organic compound of Am. Please, let me know if there is something I can take into account. Thank you -Daria

Unable to use 64-bit Demeter on Windows computer
by Brittaney Courchesne 21 Aug '19

21 Aug '19

Hello, I am just sending this email to see if anyone has encountered the following problem: I downloaded the newest 64-bit version of Demeter on my Windows computer, and it downloaded successfully, but now when I double click on the program, a tiny window pops up for about 0.5 seconds and then disappears. I have tried redownloading twice. Thank you very much, Brittaney -- *Brittaney Courchesne, G.I.T.* MSc Geology Candidate Harquail School of Earth Sciences Laurentian University Sudbury, ON *bcourchesne(a)laurentian.ca <bcourchesne(a)laurentian.ca>*

Two analysts, one spectrum, similar outcome?
by Mike Massey 14 Aug '19

14 Aug '19

Hi Everyone, I'm curious, has anyone ever tried turning two analysts loose on the same unknown EXAFS spectrum to see if their fits come out with similar conclusions? If you have tried it, how did it work out? Were the conclusions indeed similar? If not, why not, and what did you end up doing about it? I was talking with a colleague today about our plans for data analysis, and we settled on this approach (since there are two interested parties willing to try to fit a series of unknown EXAFS datasets). The hope is, of course, that the two analysts will independently reach similar conclusions with similar fits and structural models, but to my mind that outcome is by no means guaranteed. Given the (presumably) wide variation in fitting customs and procedures, I can envision a scenario in which there are major differences. This got me wondering, "Has anyone tried this?" So I thought I'd ask. Your thoughts and experiences would be welcome. Thanks! Mike Massey

Installation of Demeter on Mac Issue
by Lyu, Yimeng 12 Aug '19

12 Aug '19

Hello everyone, I run into to some issues with installing Demeter to a Mac. After installation, warning messages as below show up. Sometimes Athena will quit and sometimes it opens and works just fine. I searched the email archives and apparently the solution is to replace the Template.pm with an older version file. However, I cannot download the attachment from the email thread http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/pipermail/ifeffit/2018-April/009382.html , as the attachment was encrypted. Can someone send me the Template.pm file so I can resolve this issue? Thanks in advance. —Yimeng 16:21:44: Name "Demeter::Templates::DS" used only once: possible typo at /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.28/Text/Template.pm line 572, <DATA> line 236. 16:21:44: Name "Demeter::Templates::F" used only once: possible typo at /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.28/Text/Template.pm line 572, <DATA> line 236. 16:21:44: Name "Demeter::Templates::PT" used only once: possible typo at /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.28/Text/Template.pm line 572, <DATA> line 236. 16:21:44: Name "Demeter::Templates::T" used only once: possible typo at /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.28/Text/Template.pm line 572, <DATA> line 236. 16:21:44: Name "Demeter::Templates::D" used only once: possible typo at /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.28/Text/Template.pm line 572, <DATA> line 236. 16:21:44: Name "Demeter::Templates::S" used only once: possible typo at /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.28/Text/Template.pm line 572, <DATA> line 236.

Trouble with MacOS 10.14 Mojave
by christophe den auwer 26 Jul '19

26 Jul '19

Hi all, I have to re-install Demeter on my Mojave MacBook (version 10.14.5). X code version 10.2.1 Well it didn't totally worked out…. When I launch either Athena or Artemis, this is what I get (bellow). I also notice I have a new « opt » directory directly on the hard disk (this seems a strange location). Does anybody have an idea about that ? Thanks a lot for your help Christophe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Christophe Den Auwer Professeur Université Côte d’Azur Institut de Chimie de Nice Parc Valrose 06108 Nice, France christophe.denauwer(a)univ-cotedazur.fr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fitting in Wavelet transform space ?
by Samy Ould-Chikh 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

Dear colleagues, I have been using more and more wavelet transform in parallel of EXAFS fitting. In addition of the statistical parameters provided after the fit, I try also to compare the wavelet transform of experimental data against various structural models to choose the best. Absolutely nothing new here. After applying the wavelet transform to tens of structural model in a row which was bit long, I asked myself this question: Why can't we simply fit the experimental spectra in "wavelet space" instead of R space/k-space ? Does someone know about a code already doing it ?
