 In this thesis, I introduce an SMFS sofware suite for cantilever
 calibration (\calibcant), experiment control (\pyafm), analysis
-(\Hooke), and postprocessing
-(\sawsim)\citep{calibcant,pyafm,sandal09,king10}.  All of these tools
-are licensed under open source licenses, which allows SMFS researchers
-to centralize future development.  Where possible, care has been taken
-to keep these packages operating system (OS) agnostic.  The experiment
-logic in \pyafm\ and \calibcant\ is still nominally OS agnostic, but
-those packages depend on more fundamental packages that control the
-physical hardware in use\citep{pyafm}.  At the bottom of the
-physical-interface stack are the \Comedi\ drivers from the Linux
+(\Hooke), and postprocessing (\sawsim) in the context of velocity
+clamp unfolding of I27 octomers in buffers with varying concentrations
+of \Na\ and \Ca\ ions\citep{calibcant,pyafm,sandal09,king10}.  All of
+the tools are licensed under open source licenses, which allows SMFS

 option.  \nomenclature{OS}{Operating system}
