Here we report a model data mart developed upon a warehousing system focusing on oncology data to explore optimized system architecture to support enhanced data integration and application capacity.

The lack of a detailed comprehensive methodology for Data Warehouse development may be credited to fundamental differences in its requirements when compared to traditional database systems and the various approaches for the Data Warehouse architecture found in the literature. This paper presents a set of guidelines to support the incremental development of a Data Warehouse environment, created ...

OBJECTIVES Although monotherapy (mART) effectiveness in maintaining viral suppression and CD4 cell count has been extensively examined in HIV-1-infected patients, its impact on HIV-1 reservoir, immune activation, microbial translocation and co-infection with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is unclear. METHODS This retrospective study involved 32 patients who switched to mART; patients were studied a...

Melanoma-associated antigens, MART-1, tyrosinase, gp100 and MAGEs, are typical melanoma-specific tumor antigens which can potently induce immune responses in metastatic melanoma patients treated with peptide vaccines. In the present study, we established a dendritic cell (DC)-based HLA-A2 melanoma-associated peptide (MART-1 or gp100)-specific CTL induction method and characterized the CTLs usin...

For many new medical research questions in heart surgery comprehensive and large data bases are essential. We discuss typical challenges for the integration of real-time and legacy data stored in multiple unconnected hospital information systems (HIS). Furthermore the HIS are often operated by autonomous departments whose data base structures are subject to occasional modifications. We present ...

<span>Decision makers in the educational field always seek new technologies and tools, which provide solid, fast answers that can support decision-making process. They need a platform utilize students’ academic data turn them into knowledge to make right strategic decisions. In this paper, roadmap for implementing driven decision system (DSS) is presented based on an mart. The independent...

We introduce P-MARt, a repository of pattern-like micro-architetcures. The purpose of P-MARt is to serve as baseline to assess the precision and recall of pattern identification tools. Indeed, several approaches have been proposed to identify occurrences of design patterns, yet few have been independently validated for precision and recall for lack of known occurrences. We hope that P-MARt can ...

Data warehouses are information repositories specialized in supporting decision making. Since the decisional process typically requires an analysis of historical trends, time and its management acquire a huge importance. In this paper we consider the variety of issues, often grouped under term temporal data warehousing, implied by the need for accurately describing how information changes over ...
