New applications from the areas of analytical data processing and data integration require powerful features to condense and reconcile available data. Object-relational and other data management systems available today provide only limited concepts to deal with these requirements. The general concept of grouping and aggregation appears to be a fitting paradigm for a number of the mentioned issu...

− The steady state data reconciliation problem is approached via a geometrical picture of its model and measurement abstract spaces. By completely utilizing the structure of the problem constraint matrix, via its singular value decomposition (SVD), data adjustment is accomplished and redundancy and observability conditions are formulated. As an example, the method is applied to a small network ...

in the current study the effect of casimir force and squeezed film damping on the pull-in instability and dynamic behavior of electrostatically actuated nano and micro electromechanical systems is investigated separately. linear elastic membrane theory is used to model the static and dynamic behavior of system for strip, annular and disk geometries. squeezed film damping effect is modeled using...

However despotic a social group may be, managing conflicts of interest is crucial to preserve group living benefits, mainly based on cooperation. In despotic groups, post-conflict management via reconciliation (the first post-conflict reunion between former opponents) can occur, even if conciliatory rates are considerably different. Lemur catta is defined as a despotic species because groups ar...

This white paper identifies potential solutions to help ensure the utility and sustainability of this critical patient safety issue.

Involving pharmacists in the process of comparing the medications that should be ordered for a patient with the new medications that are currently ordered and resolving differences improves accuracy, decreases mortality, and improves transitions of care.

Medication reconciliation arose as the solution to the well-documented patient safety problem of unintentionally introducing changes in patients' medication regimens due to incomplete or inaccurate medication information at transitions in care. Unfortunately, medication reconciliation has often been misperceived as a superficial administrative accounting task with a "pre-occupation with complet...

Web services composition is often hampered by various types of data misinterpretation problems. In this paper, we present a comprehensive classification of the data misinterpretation problems. To address them, we develop an approach to automatic detection and reconciliation of data interpretation conflicts in Web services composition. The approach uses a lightweight ontology augmented with modi...

Background: Medication interactions are associated with various unwanted adverse drug reactions. Medication Reconciliation involves a process in which a complete list of patient's previously prescribed medications are recorded and subsequently evaluated within the context of concomitantly prescribed medications and present medical condition during the hospitalization. Method: Medical records ...
