CORAL Server and CORAL Server Proxy: Scalable Access to Relational Databases from CORAL Applications
2011
The CORAL software is widely used at CERN for accessing the data stored by the LHC experiments using relational database technologies. CORAL provides a C++ abstraction layer that supports data persistency for several backends and deployment models, including local access to SQLite files, direct client access to Oracle and MySQL servers, and read-only access to Oracle through the FroNTier web server and cache. Two new components have recently been added to CORAL to implement a model involving a middle tier "CORAL server" deployed close to the database and a tree of "CORAL server proxy" instances, with data caching and multiplexing functionalities, deployed close to the client. The new compon…
Web system to support analysis of the Tile Calorimeter commissioning
2008
This article describes the set of computer systems that support the data analysis and quality control during the Tile Calorimeter commissioning phase. The Tile Commissioning Web System (TCWS) encapsulates the steps to retrieve information, execute programs, access the outcomes, register statements and verify the equipment status. TCWS integrates different applications, each one presenting a particular view of the commissioning process. The TileComm Analysis stores plots and analysis results, provides equipment-oriented visualization, collects information regarding the equipment performance, and outlines its status in each test. The Timeline application provides the equipment status history …
CORAL and COOL during the LHC long shutdown.
2013
CORAL and COOL are two software packages used by the LHC experiments for managing detector conditions and other types of data using relational database technologies. They have been developed and maintained within the LCG Persistency Framework, a common project of the CERN IT department with ATLAS, CMS and LHCb. This presentation reports on the status of CORAL and COOL at the time of CHEP2013, covering the new features and enhancements in both packages, as well as the changes and improvements in the software process infrastructure. It also reviews the usage of the software in the experiments and the outlook for ongoing and future activities during the LHC long shutdown (LS1) and beyond. CORA…
LCG Persistency Framework (CORAL, COOL, POOL): Status and Outlook
2011
The LCG Persistency Framework consists of three software packages (POOL, CORAL and COOL) that address the data access requirements of the LHC experiments in several different areas. The project is the result of the collaboration between the CERN IT Department and the three experiments (ATLAS, CMS and LHCb) that are using some or all of the Persistency Framework components to access their data. The POOL package is a hybrid technology store for C++ objects, using a mixture of streaming and relational technologies to implement both object persistency and object metadata catalogs and collections. POOL provides generic components that can be used by the experiments to store both their event data…
Some topological properties of the Inverse Lens Mapping
2011
Away from critical curves, lens mapping can be seen as a linear invertible transformation of the plane even for regions (cells) of relatively large size. However, close to critical curves the departures from linearity can be very strong. We discuss the topological problems induced by the mapping of regions of the image plane that include critical curves (critical cells).
How Long-Term Contracts can Mitigate Inefficient Renegotiation Arising Due to Loss Aversion
2021
A loss-averse buyer and seller face an uncertain environment. Should they write a long-term contract or wait until the state of the world is realized? I show that simple long-term contracts perform better than insinuated in Herweg and Schmidt (2015), even though loss aversion makes renegotiation sometimes inefficient. During renegotiation, the outcome induced by the long-term contract constitutes the reference point to which the parties compare gains and losses induced by the renegotiated transaction. Whereas Herweg and Schmidt consider that the long-term contract is always performed, it should not in "bad" states. This alters the threat point in renegotiation, making it easier to renegotia…
Indización y uso de los Descriptores MeSH en Hospitalización a Domicilio
2017
Objetivo: Analizar la utilización de los Descriptores, como Major Topic, en la indización de los artículos sobre Hospitalización Domiciliaria en la base de datos MEDLINE.Método: Estudio descriptivo transversal de los registros de indización recogidos en la base de datos MEDLINE (vía PubMed) hasta 2016. El término utilizado, como descriptor principal para la búsqueda fue «Home Care Services, Hospital-Based».El método de muestreo fue la aleatorización simple sin reemplazo, tomando como base el número total de referencias obtenidas (tamaño muestral 386).Resultados: Se observaron diferencias significativas en la utilización de los Descriptores asociados a hospitalización a domicilio. La compara…
Actin binding LIM protein 3 (abLIM3).
2005
LIM domain proteins were demonstrated to play key roles in various biological processes such as embryonic development, cell lineage determination, and cancer differentiation. Actin binding LIM protein 1 (abLIM1) was reported to be localized in a genomic region often deleted in human cancers and suggested to be involved in axon guidance. Recently, existence of a second family member was reported, actin binding LIM protein 2. By means of computational biology and comparative genomics, we now characterized an additional, third member of the actin binding LIM protein subgroup, actin binding LIM protein 3 (abLIM3). The human mRNA sequence was previously annotated as differentially regulated in h…
Database to Ontology Mapping Patterns in RDB2OWL Lite
2016
We describe the RDB2OWL Lite language for relational database to RDF/OWL mapping specification and discuss the architectural and content specification patterns arising in mapping definition. RDB2OWL Lite is a simplification of original RDB2OWL with aggregation possibilities and order-based filters removed, while providing in-mapping SQL view definition possibilities. The mapping constructs and their usage patterns are illustrated on mapping examples from medical domain: medicine registries and hospital information system. The RDB2OWL Lite mapping implementation is offered both via translation into D2RQ and into standard R2RML mapping notations.
