The developments in technologies are expanding the boundaries and broadening the domain of what is technically and economically feasible to achieve in the application of data reconciliation activities in manufacturing plants. They also, naturally, incorporate additional issues and open the opportunities for new research activities. For example, recent developments on model-centric technologies ...

The concept of stochastic-based accuracy and its calculation procedure for the case of corrective maintenance in data reconciliation-based systems were recently presented [Bagajewicz, M. (2005b). On a new definition of a stochastic-based accuracy concept of data reconciliation-based estimators. In: Proceedings of the 15th European symposium on computer-aided process engineering; Bagajewicz, M.,...

OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of ambulatory clinical pharmacist medication therapy assessment and reconciliation for patients postdischarge in terms of hospital readmission rates, financial savings, and medication discrepancies. SETTING Group Health Cooperative (Group Health) in Washington State, from September 2009 through February 2010. PRACTICE DESCRIPTION Group Health is a nonprofit in...

OBJECTIVES Pharmacists play a role in providing medication reconciliation. However, data on effectiveness on patients' clinical outcomes appear inconclusive. Thus, the aim of this study was to systematically investigate the effect of pharmacist-led medication reconciliation programmes on clinical outcomes at hospital transitions. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS We search...

Production of massive DNA sequence data sets is transforming phylogenetic inference, but best practices for analyzing such data sets are not well established. One uncertainty is robustness to missing data, particularly in coalescent frameworks. To understand the effects of increasing matrix size and loci at the cost of increasing missing data, we produced a 90 taxon, 2.2 megabase, 4,800 locus s...

 Background: The measurement data regarding the influent and effluent of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) provides a general overview, demonstrating an overall performance of WWTP. Nevertheless, these data do not provide the suitable operational information for the optimization of individual units involved in a WWTP. A full-scale evolution of WWTP was carried out in this study via a r...
