Dear Editor Now there are three ways to select the sex of the fetus before implantation (1, 2). Two of these methods are scientifically proven that are used in the fertility and infertility centers (3). Two types of pre implantation methods (PGD and Ericsson method) used for social sex selection. Both of them are based on actively rendering the second sex chromosome to be either a Y chromosome ...

The data warehouse is subject oriented, integrated, nonvolatile and time-varying data sets, which is used to support management decision-making. A data warehouse stores materialized views of data from one or more sources, with the purpose of efficiently implementing Decision-support or OLAP queries. One of the most important decisions in designing a data warehouse is the selection of materializ...

A Data Warehouse (DW) is a repository of information retrieved from multiple, possibly heterogeneous, autonomous, distributed databases and other information sources for the purpose of complex querying, analysis and decision support. Data in the DW are selectively collected from the sources, processed in order to resolve inconsistencies, and integrated in advance (at design time) before data lo...

Materialized views, a rdbms silver bullet, demonstrate its efficacy in many applications, especially as a data warehousing/decison support system tool. The pivot of playing materialized views efficiently is view selection. Though studied for over thirty years in rdbms, the selection is hard to make in the context of xml databases, where both the semi-structured data and the expressiveness of xm...

A multidimensional database is a data repository that supports the efficient execution of complex business decision queries. Query response can be significantly improved by storing an appropriate set of materialized views. These views are selected from the multidimensional lattice whose elements represent the solution space of the problem. Several techniques have been proposed in the past to pe...
