Real-world evidence market: key players and key segments by A. R. Kasimova, A. S. Kolbin

“…Real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) are a valuable resource in the healthcare system. They may be necessary for administrators (to create and improve algorithms for treating patients with various nosologies), physicians (to make a better clinical decision in favor of the patient) and directly to patients and their relatives (to better understand the treatment process). …”

A Comparison of CALPUFF and LAPMOD Against the Project Sagebrush Datasets by Roberto Bellasio, Roberto Bianconi, Paolo Zannetti

“…However, in four simulations carried out under low wind and very stable conditions, the model performances are poor. This may be due to the inability of CALMET to reproduce the vertical wind direction variations in a shallow layer close to the ground, but also to inappropriate turbulence dispersion algorithms in the dispersion models. …”

Toward quantum advantage with photonic state injection by Léo Monbroussou, Eliott Z. Mamon, Hugo Thomas, Verena Yacoub, Ulysse Chabaud, Elham Kashefi

“…Finally, we study a computational subroutine of learning algorithms named probability estimation, and we show that the state injection scheme we propose may offer a potential quantum advantage in a regime that can be more easily achieved than state-of-the-art adaptive techniques. …”

Business process mining based insider threat detection system by Tai-ming ZHU, Yuan-bo GUO, An-kang JU, Jun MA

“…Current intrusion detection systems are mostly for detecting external attacks,but sometimes the internal staff may bring greater harm to organizations in information security.Traditional insider threat detection methods of-ten do not combine the behavior of people with business activities,making the threat detection rate to be improved.An insider threat detection system based on business process mining from two aspects was proposed,the implementation of insider threats and the impact of threats on system services.Firstly,the normal control flow model of business ac-tivities and the normal behavior profile of each operator were established by mining the training log.Then,the actual behavior of the operators was compared with the pre-established normal behavior contours during the operation of the system,which was supplemented by control flow anomaly detection and performance anomaly detection of business processes,in order to discover insider threats.A variety of anomalies were defined and the corresponding detection algorithms were given.Experiments were performed on the ProM platform.The results show the designed system is effective.…”

The influence of eye model parameter variations on simulated eye-tracking outcomes by Joshua Fischer, David van den Heever, Johan van der Merwe

“… The simulated data used in eye-tracking-related research has been largely generated using normative eye models with little consideration of how the variations in eye biometry found in the population may influence eye-tracking outcomes. This study investigated the influence that variations in eye model parameters have on the ability of simulated data to predict real-world eye-tracking outcomes. …”

The ethics of data interoperability: Mapping problems and strategies in biomedical data and beyond by Asher Brandon Caplan, Colin Koopman

“…However, interoperability poses a number of ethical problems whose contours can prove especially challenging in comparison to how ethical harms take hold at other moments of the data life cycle (such as algorithmic processing or results dissemination). Taking biomedical data interoperability as a focal domain, this article provides an overview of data interoperability, maps the central ethical harms that may challenge interoperability projects, and proposes a response to these problems through an approach rooted in philosophical pragmatism. …”
