Towards an Automatic Extraction of Generalized System of Contradictions Out of Solutionless Design of Experiments
Implementation of a pharmacogenomics consult service to support the INGENIOUS trial
Hospital systems increasingly utilize pharmacogenomic testing to inform clinical prescribing. Successful implementation efforts have been modeled at many academic centers. In contrast, this report provides insights into the formation of a pharmacogenomics consultation service at a safety-net hospital, which predominantly serves low-income, uninsured, and vulnerable populations. The report describes the INdiana GENomics Implementation: an Opportunity for the UnderServed (INGENIOUS) trial and addresses concerns of adjudication, credentialing, and funding
Multidisciplinary design in virtual worlds
Large design projects, such as those in the AEC domain, involve collaboration among a
number of design disciplines, often in separate locations. With the increase in CAD
usage in design offices, there has been an increase in the interest in collaboration using
the electronic medium, both synchronously and asynchronously. The use of a single
shared database representing a single model of a building has been widely put forward
but this paper argues that this does not take into account the different representations
required by each discipline. This paper puts forward an environment which provides
real-time multi-user collaboration in a 3D virtual world for designers in different
locations. Agent technology is used to manage the different views, creation and
modifications of objects in the 3D virtual world and the necessary relationships with the
database(s) belonging to each discipline
