Proper management of master data is a critical component of any enterprise information system. However, effective master data management (MDM) requires that both IT and Business understand the life cycle of master data and the fundamental principles of entity resolution (ER). This paper provides a high-level overview of current practices in data matching, record linking, and entity information ...

One of the most powerful tools available for telemedicine is a multimedia medical record accessible over a wide area and simultaneously editable by multiple physicians. The ability to do this through an intuitive interface linking multiple distributed data repositories while maintaining full data integrity is a fundamental enabling technology in healthcare. We discuss the role of distributed ob...

Data processing can sometimes require complex logic to match and rank record associations across events. This paper presents an efficient solution to generating these complex associations using the DATA step and data hash objects. The solution applies to multiple business needs including subsequent purchases, repayment of loan advance, or hospital readmits. The logic demonstrates how to constru...

Background: The present study aimed to analyze the situation of knowledge management among the faculty members in the four components, including creation, linking, organization and storage, and application. Methods: This is a survey research and the results are presented descriptively and analytically. The study tool was a questionnaire of knowledge management with 84 questions (creation of kno...

Photoinduced cross-linking (PIC) has become a powerful tool in chemical biology for the identification and mapping of stable or transient interactions between biomacromolecules and their (unknown) ligands. However, the value of PIC for in vitro and in vivo structural proteomics can be realized only if cross-linking reports accurately on biomacromolecule secondary, tertiary, and quaternary struc...

This paper presents the novel work of digitally linking crime theories being worked for many years by sociologists to data record criminals. The proposed methodology ensures that societal can be unequally characterized based on a set features. These features extracted from criminal convicts. and demonstrates its applicability mapping several records convicted criminals in Pakistan theories. acc...

proteases are important enzymes that their role in various industries is undeniable. however, keeping enzymes stable during its activity in harsh conditions is so important. in this study, protease enzyme was immobilized on the porous silica particles and its stability in different temperatures and phs was evaluated. first silica particles were aminated by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane then the ...

during last two decades, polysaccharides such as alginate (alg) alone and in combination with other biopolymers are widely used in vaccine and drug delivery systems. the aim of the present work was to investigate the potential utility of microparticles made of alginate (alg) as new vehicles for improving nasal vaccine delivery. for this purpose, diphtheria toxoid (dt) was chosen as a model anti...

This paper describes our approach to the 2012 Text Analysis Conference (TAC) Knowledge Base Population (KBP) entity linking track. For this task, we turn to a state-of-the-art system for entity linking in microblog posts. Compared to the little context microblog posts provide, the documents in the TAC KBP track provide context of greater length and of a less noisy nature. In this paper, we adap...

— We examine the relationship between resource abundance and several indicators of human welfare. Consistent with the existing literature on the relationship between resource abundance and economic growth we find that, given an initial income level, resource-intensive countries tend to suffer lower levels of human development. While we find only weak support for a direct link between resources ...
