ORBDA ::an openEHR benchmark dataset for performance assessment of electronic health record servers
The openEHR specifications are designed to support implementation of flexible and interoperable Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. Despite the increasing number of solutions based on the openEHR specifications, it is difficult to find publicly available healthcare datasets in the openEHR format that can be used to test, compare and validate different data persistence mechanisms...

Active risk-based investing
Risk-based investing is experiencing growing success among investors, although some critics contend that the implicit “no-views” characteristic of these solutions might trigger other forms of risk, such as valuation risk. In this article, the authors introduce an analytical framework that allows investors to add active views on top of a risk-based solution, bridging the gap between...

Grown local: community attachment and market entries in the Franconian beer industry
Geographic communities are often thought to support new ventures, particularly when newcomers are able to replicate incumbents’ characteristics. This paper elaborates on the conditions under which geographic communities may hinder the action of newcomers. Particular attention is dedicated to the case in which incumbents’ identities build on community traditions and rely on strong...

Wine indices in practice: nicely labeled but slightly corked
This paper examines and compares wine price indices available on the wine market with those proposed in academia. We especially analyze the impact illiquidity has on the different indices and validate our findings using a simulation which allows us to define the biases induced by illiquidity on the statistical properties of the indices. We also propose adjustments to help market...

Eye-Tracking Experiments in Social and Environmental Accounting Research
In this article, we demonstrate the relevance of eye-tracking experiments in social and environmental accounting (SEA) research. Up to now, this type of design has been used in some areas within accounting research, but SEA has been neglected. If one is to adopt a user perspective [Merkl-Davies, D. M., and N. M. Brennan. 2007. “Discretionary Disclosure Strategies in Corporate...

Optimal student sectioning on mandatory courses with various sections numbers
In sufficiently large schools, courses are given to classes in sections of various sizes. Consequently, classes have to be split into various given numbers of sections. We focus on how to dispatch the students into sections of equal size, so as to minimize the number of edges in the resulting conflict graph. As a main result, we show that subdividing the students set in a regular way...

An alternating direction method of multipliers for the numerical solution of a fully nonlinear partial differential equation involving the Jacobian determinant
We consider the Dirichlet problem for a partial differential equation involving the Jacobian determinant in two dimensions of space. The problem consists in finding a vector-valued function such that the determinant of its gradient is given pointwise in a bounded domain, together with essential boundary conditions. This problem was initially considered in Dacorogna and Moser [Ann....

Improving average ranking precision in user searches for biomedical research datasets
Availability of research datasets is keystone for health and life science study reproducibility and scientific progress. Due to the heterogeneity and complexity of these data, a main challenge to be overcome by research data management systems is to provide users with the best answers for their search queries. In the context of the 2016 bioCADDIE Dataset Retrieval Challenge, we...

Making sense of large data sets without annotations: : analyzing age–related correlations from lung CT scans
The analysis of large data sets can help to gain knowledge about specific organs or on specific diseases, just as big data analysis does in many non-medical areas. This article aims to gain information from 3D volumes, so the visual content of lung CT scans of a large number of patients. In the case of the described data set, only little annotation is available on the patients that...
