Levels of Use of a GIS01:29

Levels of Use of a GIS

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...
C4 Pathway and CAM01:27

C4 Pathway and CAM

Most plants use the C3 pathway for carbon fixation. However, some plants, such as sugar cane, corn, and cacti that grow in hot conditions, use alternative pathways to fix carbon and conserve energy loss due to photorespiration. Photorespiration is the process that occurs when the oxygen concentration is high. Under such conditions, the rubisco enzyme in the Calvin cycle binds O2 instead of CO2, which halts photosynthesis and consumes energy.

The C4 pathway is used by plants such as...
Manipulation and Analysis01:21

Manipulation and Analysis

GIS manipulation and analysis functions are vital for decision-making and planning. These activities range from data retrieval tasks, such as selecting information based on specific criteria, to advanced analytical techniques that address complex spatial problems.One critical GIS analysis method is overlaying, which combines multiple data layers to examine impacts. For example, overlaying a river-dammed lake boundary with road networks can identify affected infrastructure. Another common...
Thematic Layering in GIS01:30

Thematic Layering in GIS

In the past, planning projects such as schools or public facilities required extensive manual effort to gather and compile data. Information such as property boundaries, soil characteristics, road networks, zoning regulations, and flood zones had to be sourced individually from courthouses, utility providers, and registry offices. Assembling these datasets into a coherent format often took several months, delaying project timelines.The introduction of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)...
Microtubule Associated Proteins (MAPs)01:42

Microtubule Associated Proteins (MAPs)

Microtubule function and architecture are regulated by an array of specialized proteins called microtubule-associated proteins or MAPs. These proteins are widespread across different organisms and have conserved protein motifs, like the multi-TOG domain for tubulin binding found in the CLASP family of MAPs. Some MAPs are lineage-specific based on their conserved domains. Their functions depend upon the cytoskeletal architecture and cell type they are located within. In-plant cells, a specific...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point served as...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Informatics
  • Data Science
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Biomedical database interoperability is a significant challenge.
  • Existing systems like the National Cancer Institute's caBIG require standardized data models.
  • Common Data Elements (CDEs) and UML models are crucial for data standardization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the use of open-source tools for mapping UML models to CDEs.
  • To improve interoperability within the caBIG framework and similar metadata repositories.
  • To facilitate the reuse of information objects and CDEs in translational research.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a repository of Common Data Elements (CDEs).
  • Employed UML (Unified Modeling Language) class-attributes for data modeling.
  • Applied simple lexical algorithms (Dice and Dynamic) for automated mapping.

Main Results:

  • Both Dice and Dynamic algorithms showed comparable performance in matching UML attributes to CDEs.
  • Established reasonable baselines for automatic matching of data models.
  • Demonstrated the feasibility of automatic mapping within the caBIG framework.

Conclusions:

  • Automated mapping algorithms can reduce the time and cost of integrating local data models with reference models.
  • This approach enhances the development of interoperable systems in biomedical research.
