NMR Tutor vs Trap Chess

NMR Tutor is an interactive introduction to NMR data acquisition and signal processing. Use simulated free induction decays (FIDs) and spectra to explore how time-domain NMR signals become frequency-domain spectra. Adjust peak positions, decay, noise, apodization, zero filling, phase behavior, and common acquisition artifacts, then see the effect immediately in the FID and final spectrum. The app displays real and imaginary FID channels before and after processing, together with the resulting spectrum after Fourier transformation. A live signal-to-noise (S/N) measurement updates as you adjust noise, scan averaging, apodization, FID artifacts, and shimming, making processing tradeoffs easy to compare. Apply zero filling to see how digital interpolation changes the appearance of the spectrum without adding new measured data. You can also introduce common receiver or acquisition faults into the FID and observe the artifacts that appear after processing. As an advanced example, add spin-spin coupling to create an AB coupling pattern, then move the peaks or change the coupling strength to compare AB behavior with an AX spin system. Charts retain every data point and support pan, zoom, phase-pivot dragging, graph audio, sharing and export, and external displays. Optimized Metal and Accelerate processing keeps high-resolution chart and shimming interactions responsive. Adaptive layouts and larger accessibility text make the workspace easier to use on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Open one-dimensional JEOL, Bruker and Varian FID datasets directly. Inspect the acquired real and imaginary channels, then apply apodization, zero filling, first-point scaling, and zero- and first-order phase correction to your own data.

Play chess with a twist designed for beginners and intermediate players. Face a computer opponent, and on every turn choose between two possible moves—one may be a trap. All standard chess rules apply. Use it to practice calculation, sharpen pattern recognition, or unwind with quick sessions. Familiar chess, new decisions: dodge the traps to win.
