Using Cloud Storage for NMR Data Distribution

Abstract

An approach using Google Groups as method for distributing student-acquired NMR data has been implemented. We describe how to configure NMR spectrometer software so that data is uploaded to a laboratory section specific Google Group, thereby removing bottlenecks associated with printing and processing at the spectrometer workstation. Outside of the laboratory, students access and download their data by going to the appropriate URL, then manipulate their data using a freely available NMR Processing software package. This approach allows us to spend more time with students on the analysis of their data and has led to an increase in the number of NMR spectroscopy-centered experiments in our curriculum, including experiments that require the collective analysis of data. The implementation and challenges of this approach are described, including feedback from students in this course.

Using 1H NMR Spectroscopy to Study the Free Radical Chlorination of Alkanes

“…Student analysis of data uses a cloud-based approach that we have adapted from an earlier method described in this Journal. 20 At the beginning of the semester, each student is given an identifying number that corresponds with our NMR autosampler tray. At the end of the experiment, each student submits their NMR sample for analysis, with their identifying number drawn on the cap of the tube.…”

Cloud Storage Strategy of Blockchain Based on Genetic Prediction Dynamic Files

“…How to store these huge data quickly, efficiently, and reasonably becomes a blockchain calculation and the top priority of cloud storage technology. Therefore, in order to improve the access speed and accuracy of blockchain storage, while reducing traffic and data transmission, and reducing energy consumption, scholars in related fields have researched and experimented, and have proposed corresponding cloud storage methods and strategies [7,8].Reference [9] proposed a grid-based blockchain storage method. After transferring computing tasks to the corresponding data storage nodes or adjacent nodes, this reduces the pressure on the network and provides new analysis for data processing in various fields.…”

Working toward a Paperless Undergraduate Physical Chemistry Teaching Laboratory

“…There are many advantages and disadvantages for the use of computers and online applications in the classroom and the use of electronic methods to enhance chemical education has been explored by several others. − Often, the online capabilities of such tools are used to allow for collaboration and sharing of data between all of the students in the class and to take advantage of the functionality of electronic applications. − For example, in a 2012 Journal of Chemical Education paper, Neil Abrams outlined the use of cloud networks and course management systems for sharing data among students. In a news feature in Nature , David Butler weighed the pros and cons of electronic notebooks finding mostly advantages, but also noting the reluctance of some groups to adopt an electronic notebook format .…”
