Improving the IATA delay data coding system for enhanced data analytics

Aviation delays inconvenience travelers and result in financial losses for stakeholders. Without complex data pre-processing, delay data collected by the existing IATA delay coding system are inadequate to support advanced delay analytics, e.g. large-scale delay propagation tracing in an airline network. Consequently, we developed three new coding schemes aiming at improving the current IATA sy...

Towards AOP application--implementation of an integrated approach to testing and assessment (IATA) into a pipeline tool for skin sensitization.

Since the OECD published the Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) for skin sensitization, many efforts have focused on how to integrate and interpret nonstandard information generated for key events in a manner that can be practically useful for decision making. These types of frameworks are known as Integrated Approaches to Testing and Assessment (IATA). Here we have outlined an IATA for skin sensiti...

Applying Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) to support Integrated Approaches to Testing and Assessment (IATA).

Chemical regulation is challenged by the large number of chemicals requiring assessment for potential human health and environmental impacts. Current approaches are too resource intensive in terms of time, money and animal use to evaluate all chemicals under development or already on the market. The need for timely and robust decision making demands that regulatory toxicity testing becomes more...
