e-Science requires mechanisms by which data of different types and sources can be communicated and understood between interested application scientists. Edikt have developed the BinX, a tool to aid this by describing binary data and its layout using an XML meta-data document. This paper will describe the BinX Language and Library, and discuss some current eScience applications that use BinX in ...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) dramatically increases sepsis mortality, but AKI diagnosis is delayed when based on serum creatinine (SCr) changes, due in part, to decreased creatinine production. During experimental sepsis, we compared serum cystatin C (sCysC), SCr, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to inulin glomerular filtration rate (iGFR) before or 3-18 h after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-indu...

We introduce the notion of hypergroupoids HBinX, , and show that HBinX, is a super-semigroup of the semigroup BinX, via the identification x ↔ {x}. We prove that HBin * X, , ∅ is a BCK-algebra, and obtain several properties of HBin * X, .

Time series are a substantial data format, common to many fields of study and are becoming longer with the availability of new data accumulation technologies. One of the prominent time series analysis techniques is visualization. However, humans will often fail when analyzing a long time series, being overwhelmed by the amount of data involved and the different time scales it is encoded in. The...

Numerous large files of binary data store a wealth of e-Science information. Existing applications, in areas such as astronomy and particle physics, process the bulk of these files. To further our scientific knowledge, there is a strong need to share binary files among collaborating scientists and to use the data in new ways, such as data mining to discover new relationships and to identify dat...
