T he quantity of available healthcare data is rising rapidly, far exceeding the capacity to deliver personal or public health benefits from analyzing this data [1]. Three key elements of the rise are electronic health records (EHRs), biotechnologies, and scientific outputs. We discuss these in turn below, leading to our proposal for a unified modeling approach that can take full advantage of a ...

Software engineering is a formal set of tools and procedures for the efficient development of reliable software. Scientific computing software differs from other types of software because the “correct” outputs for a given set of software inputs are generally not known. Since scientific computing relies on approximate numerical solutions to partial differential or integral equations, the answers...

At this time, developers of research information systems are experimenting with new tools for research outputs usage that can expand the open access to research. These tools allow researchers to record research as annotations, nanopublications or other micro research outputs and link them by scientific relationships. If these micro outputs and relationships are shared by their creators publical...

Aim. To present main outputs of the International Scientific Conference on Brucellosis in South Eastern Europe (SEE) and Mediterranean Region, held in Struga, Republic of Macedonia, Nov. 12-14, 2009, and to summarize the weak points and constraints for implementation of the current brucellosis control programs in the SEE countries, as well as main components and directions for perspective devel...

Natural language processing (NLP) is a sub-field of computational sciences which addresses the operation and management of texts, as inputs or outputs of computational devices. As such, this domain includes a large amount of distinct topics, depending which particular service is considered. Nowadays, with the Internet spreading as a worldwide tremendous reservoir of knowledge, NLP is highly sol...

In many real-world situations, performers always adopt different energy levels (strategies) to participate. Different from pre-existing results, this paper is devoted proposing several generalized power outputs of the marginal index, Banzhaf–Coleman and Banzhaf–Owen respectively, by assigning all performers. Since these extended may not be efficacious, we further define efficacious extensions o...
