Augmenting CASE tools with hypertext: Desired functionality and implementation issues
1997
Information systems have become bigger and more complex as their support has expanded to cover larger business domains, communication and work. At the same time technical design options such as client/server architectures and graphical user interfaces have increased the size and complexity of applications. In addition, pressures to build better systems more quickly have motivated the use of integrated design environments, such as CASE. Several integration approaches such as process modeling, frameworks and hypertext technology have been proposed. Of these we consider the least analyzed, hypertext technology, in this paper. Because of the novelty of hypertext in CASE there are several unreso…
Virtual atomic and molecular data centre
2010
The Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre (VAMDC, http://www.vamdc.eu) is a European Union funded collaboration between groups involved in the generation, evaluation, and use of atomic and molecular data. VAMDC aims to build a secure, documented, flexible and interoperable e-science environment-based interface to existing atomic and molecular data. The project will cover establishing the core consortium, the development and deployment of the infrastructure and the development of interfaces to the existing atomic and molecular databases. It will also provide a forum for training potential users and dissemination of expertise worldwide. This review describes the scope of the VAMDC project;…
epiPATH: an information system for the storage and management of molecular epidemiology data from infectious pathogens.
2007
Abstract Background Most research scientists working in the fields of molecular epidemiology, population and evolutionary genetics are confronted with the management of large volumes of data. Moreover, the data used in studies of infectious diseases are complex and usually derive from different institutions such as hospitals or laboratories. Since no public database scheme incorporating clinical and epidemiological information about patients and molecular information about pathogens is currently available, we have developed an information system, composed by a main database and a web-based interface, which integrates both types of data and satisfies requirements of good organization, simple…
RDF* Graph Database as Interlingua for the TextWorld Challenge
2019
This paper briefly describes the top-scoring submission to the First TextWorld Problems: A Reinforcement and Language Learning Challenge. To alleviate the partial observability problem, characteristic to the TextWorld games, we split the Agent into two independent components: Observer and Actor, communicating only via the Interlingua of the RDF* graph database. The RDF* graph database serves as the “world model” memory incrementally updated by the Observer via FrameNet informed Natural Language Understanding techniques and is used by the Actor for the efficient exploration and planning of the game Action sequences. We find that the deep-learning approach works best for the Observer componen…
Scientific Literature Among Smoking and Respiratory System: Repercussion and Collaboration
2012
a b s t r a c t Aim: To analyze the distribution of the production, repercussion and co-authorship of articles on smok- ing in the "respiratory system" category through the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) and their inclusion in the first quartile of the Journal Citation Report (JCR). Methods: The literature search was performed in the SCI-E. Articles were selected for 2001-2010 for "respiratory system" using the descriptors "smok*" and "tobac*". Results: We found 1858 articles (ignoring collaboration) on the topic of smoking. The median number of published articles by five-year period was higher for the 2006-2010 period vs the 2001-2005 period; in contrast, the number of citations a…
Higher Fluid Balance Increases the Risk of Death From Sepsis: Results From a Large International Audit
2017
Contains fulltext : 177598.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) OBJECTIVES: Excessive fluid therapy in patients with sepsis may be associated with risks that outweigh any benefit. We investigated the possible influence of early fluid balance on outcome in a large international database of ICU patients with sepsis. DESIGN: Observational cohort study. SETTING: Seven hundred and thirty ICUs in 84 countries. PATIENTS: All adult patients admitted between May 8 and May 18, 2012, except admissions for routine postoperative surveillance. For this analysis, we included only the 1,808 patients with an admission diagnosis of sepsis. Patients were stratified according to quartiles of cumulative f…
CellMinerHCC: a microarray-based expression database for hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines.
2012
Background & Aims Therapeutic options for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) still remain limited. Development of gene targeted therapies is a promising option. A better understanding of the underlying molecular biology is gained in in vitro experiments. However, even with targeted manipulation of gene expression varying treatment responses were observed in diverse HCC cell lines. Therefore, information on gene expression profiles of various HCC cell lines may be crucial to experimental designs. To generate a publicly available database containing microarray expression profiles of diverse HCC cell lines. Methods Microarray data were analyzed using an individually scripted R program package. Dat…
The Gypsy Database (GyDB) of mobile genetic elements.
2007
In this article, we introduce the Gypsy Database (GyDB) of mobile genetic elements, an in-progress database devoted to the non-redundant analysis and evolutionary-based classification of mobile genetic elements. In this first version, we contemplate eukaryotic Ty3/Gypsy and Retroviridae long terminal repeats (LTR) retroelements. Phylogenetic analyses based on the gag-pro-pol internal region commonly presented by these two groups strongly support a certain number of previously described Ty3/Gypsy lineages originally reported from reverse-transcriptase (RT) analyses. Vertebrate retroviruses (Retroviridae) are also constituted in several monophyletic groups consistent with genera proposed by t…
Obecność w Internecie bibliograficznych baz danych tworzonych przez biblioteki na przykładzie systemu informacyjno-wyszukiwawczego "Pedagog"
2010
Artykuł zawiera analizę treści informacji znajdujących się w Internecie, które dotyczą systemu informacyjno-wyszukiwawczego PEDAGOG, tworzonego przez pracowników Biblioteki Głównej Uniwersytetu Opolskiego. Znaczącą rolę w promowaniu i określaniu znaczenia danego serwisu w sieci www, w tym również bibliograficznych baz danych tworzonych przez biblioteki, odgrywają odnośniki od innych stron internetowych. Analiza ma na celu przede wszystkim określenie „ukrytej” obecności PEDAGOGA w Internecie przez ocenę hiperłączy pochodzących od innych stron internetowych, jak również omówienie treści informacji o PEDAGOGU, znajdujących się w sieci www.
Hospitalizations of patients in Burgundy and in nine other french regions, spatial analysis of interregional flows from french hospital claims data
2015
Introduction / presentation of the context : The creation of ARS (Regional Healthcare Agencies) was accompanied by the regionalized organization of healthcare. Even though the administrative procedures for dividing the country into areas for healthcare coverage are well known, we propose a geographic analysis of the reasons why patients attend one hospital rather than another, which seem to escape the logic used by the authorities.Methods employed and sources of data : Using the PMSI-MCO, we studied the flow of patients living in one region to hospitals in other regions according to ten reasons for visiting hospitals. The analysis was completed by a cartographic analysis, which related the …
