FAIR principles and the IEDB: short-term improvements and a long-term vision of OBO-foundry mediated machine-actionable interoperability.

The Immune Epitope Database (IEDB), at www.iedb.org, has the mission to make published experimental data relating to the recognition of immune epitopes easily available to the scientific public. By presenting curated data in a searchable database, we have liberated it from the tables and figures of journal articles, making it more accessible and usable by immunologists. Recently, the principles of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability have been formulated as goals that data repositories should meet to enhance the usefulness of their data holdings. We here examine how the IEDB complies with these principles and identify broad areas of success, but also areas for improvement. We describe short-term improvements to the IEDB that are being implemented now, as well as a long-term vision of true 'machine-actionable interoperability', which we believe will require community agreement on standardization of knowledge representation that can be built on top of the shared use of ontologies

Elaboration of the Recipe of the Fermented Milk Dessert for Child Food

Using the tabular processor MS Excel 2007 there was elaborated the recipe of the fermented milk dessert for child food. The recipe of this dessert consists of (mass. %, g): fermented milk curd – 54, jam – 23, honey – 8, sesame – 4, cream – 6, collagen hydrolyzate (gluten) – 5. This dessert is a source of vitamin C and covers near 40 % of a child daily need in it. At the expanse of introducing gluten in the dessert composition, protein content in the ready product increased that covers from 11,28 % to 22,56 % of a daily need. This dessert is also rich in calcium, so one portion of it covers 25 % of a child need.Based on theoretical qualimetry methods there was realized the complex estimation of the dessert quality. The hierarchic structure of ready product properties was presented, including organoleptic and physical-chemical parameters and also ones of the food and biological value at storage.The estimation of microbiological and organoleptic parameters at storage give a possibility to state, that the new fermented milk dessert will be competitive at the consumer market. The storage life of this product is 5 days at the temperature (4±2) °С

SCINTILLA A European project for the development of scintillation detectors and new technologies for nuclear security

Europe monitors transits using radiation detectors to prevent illicit trafficking of nuclear materials. The SCINTILLA project aims to develop a toolbox of innovative technologies designed to address different usage cases. This article will review the scope, approach, results of the first benchmark campaign and future plans of the SCINTILLA project.Comment: To appear on the Proceedings of the 13th ICATPP Conference on Astroparticle, Particle, Space Physics and Detectors for Physics Applications, Villa Olmo (Como, Italy), 23--27 October, 2013, to be published by World Scientific (Singapore

Efficient Analysis for the Design Refinement of Large Multilayered Printed Reflectarrays

In this paper, we present an efficient numerical technique for the analysis of a reflectarray and its design refinement by the characterization of the “actual” influence of each radiating element when embedded in the antenna structure. The method makes use of the MLayAIM, a fast full-wave formulation suitable for the analysis of electrically large multilayered printed arrays which have one or more planar metallizations and vertical conductors. The low numerical complexity of the analysis method allows the development of a recursive procedure that, starting from the equivalent currents relevant to each cell of the reflectarray when this is immersed in the actual antenna layout, calculates the real phase-shift introduced by each radiating element and corrects its dimensions to better fit the antenna requirements

Pemodelan Persentase Kriminalitas dan Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi di Jawa Timur dengan Pendekatan Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR)

Kejahatan atau kriminalitas merupakan perbuatan seseorang yang dapat diancam hukuman berdasarkan KUHP atau undang-undang serta peraturan lainnya di Indonesia. Pada tahun 2010 Polda Jawa Timur menduduki peringkat keempat jumlah kriminalitas tertinggi di Indonesia setelah Polda Metro Jaya, Polda Sumatera Utara dan Polda Jawa Barat. Perbedaan karakteristik geografis menyebabkan perbedaan atau keterikatan faktor ekonomi, sosial, budaya yang juga berpengaruh pada tindakan kriminalitas di setiap daerah. Karena itu penelitian ini akan memodelkan persentase kriminalitas dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya di Provinsi Jawa Timur dengan pendekatan Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). Dari hasil penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa adanya pengaruh spasial dalam pemodelan persentase kriminalitas di Jawa Timur. Pemilihan pembobot dilakukan dengan cara memilih pembobot yang memiliki nilai AIC terkecil yaitu fix gaussian. Wilayah yang berdekatan cenderung memiliki kesamaan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi persentase kriminalitas di Jawa Timur. Variabel kepadatan penduduk dan persentase penduduk migran berpengaruh signifikan pada sebagian besar kabupaten/kota di Jawa Timur. Model GWR menghasilkan R2 sebesar 86,95 persen lebih besar dari model OLS yaitu 54,1 persen.

Expanding Social Security in Indonesia: the Processes and Challenges

This paper reviews the development of social security provision in Indonesia, which has evolved from very little in its early years to the privilege of formal sector workers during the New Order period to universal coverage, at least in principle, in the current period. These changes were in line with and driven by the developments of the Indonesian economy in general, which has gone through various episodes marked by both booms and crises. There are two important milestones in the development of social security in Indonesia. First, after the change in government during the chaotic mid-1960s, the New Order government gradually developed various social security schemes, but limited to formal sector workers only. Second, after the Asian Financial Crisis at the end of 1990s exposed the weaknesses of the social security system in place, successive governments established a stronger social security system by adopting universal coverage. The challenges for implementing it, however, are formidable due to Indonesia's vast geography, huge population and diverse availability and quality of infrastructure
