TL;DR: This paper presents the main architectural and functional characteristics of an “intelligent system” supporting the efficient management of patient's data and highlights how the security features offered by smart cards can be exploited in order to ensure confidentiality and integrity of the medical data stored in the patient cards.
Abstract: The continuously increased mobility of patients and doctors, in conjunction with the existence of medical groups consisting of private doctors, general practitioners, hospitals, medical centers, and insurance companies, pose significant difficulties on the management of patients' medical data. Inevitably this affects the quality of the health care services provided. The evolving smart card technology can be utilized for the implementation of a secure portable electronic medical record, carried by the patient herself/himself. In addition to the medical data, insurance information can be stored in the smart card thus facilitating the creation of an “intelligent system” supporting the efficient management of patient's data. In this paper we present the main architectural and functional characteristics of such a system. We also highlight how the security features offered by smart cards can be exploited in order to ensure confidentiality and integrity of the medical data stored in the patient cards.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that additive noise converges strongly to a solution of the stochastic differential equation with the same initial condition as the Euler-Maruyama scheme.
Abstract: It is shown that the Euler–Maruyama scheme applied to a stochastic differential equation with a discontinuous monotone drift coefficient, such as a Heaviside function, and additive noise converges strongly to a solution of the stochastic differential equation with the same initial condition. The proof uses upper and lower solutions of the stochastic differential equations and the Euler–Maruyama scheme.

TL;DR: In this article, the production of D 0, D *+, D +, D s + and Λ c + charm hadrons and their antiparticles in ep scattering at HERA has been studied with the ZEUS detector, using a total integrated luminosity of 372 pb -1.
Abstract: The production of D 0 , D *+ , D + , D s + and Λ c + charm hadrons and their antiparticles in ep scattering at HERA has been studied with the ZEUS detector, using a total integrated luminosity of 372 pb -1 . The fractions of charm quarks hadronising into a particular charm hadron were derived. In addition, the ratio of neutral to charged D-meson production rates, the fraction of charged D mesons produced in a vector state, and the stangeness-suppression factor have been determined. The measurements have been performed in the photoproduction regime. The charm hadrons were reconstructed in the range of transverse momentum p T > 3.8 GeV and pseudorapidity |η| + e - experiments. The data support the hypothesis that fragmentation is independent of the production process. © 2013 SISSA.

TL;DR: In this article, measurements of fiducial and differential cross-sections for Higgs boson production in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of TeV were performed using 20.3 fb(-1) of data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.
Abstract: Measurements of fiducial and differential cross sections are presented for Higgs boson production in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of TeV. The analysis is performed in the H -> gamma gamma decay channel using 20.3 fb(-1) of data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The signal is extracted using a fit to the diphoton invariant mass spectrum assuming that the width of the resonance is much smaller than the experimental resolution. The signal yields are corrected for the effects of detector inefficiency and resolution. The pp -> H -> gamma gamma fiducial cross section is measured to be 43.2 +/- 9.4(stat.) (-aEuro parts per thousand 2.9) (+ 3.2) (syst.) +/- 1.2(lumi)fb for a Higgs boson of mass 125.4GeV decaying to two isolated photons that have transverse momentum greater than 35% and 25% of the diphoton invariant mass and each with absolute pseudorapidity less than 2.37. Four additional fiducial cross sections and two cross-section limits are presented in phase space regions that test the theoretical modelling of different Higgs boson production mechanisms, or are sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. Differential cross sections are also presented, as a function of variables related to the diphoton kinematics and the jet activity produced in the Higgs boson events. The observed spectra are statistically limited but broadly in line with the theoretical expectations.

TL;DR: Three sets of threats and opportunities identified underline the importance of international cooperation on IAS issues in terms of communication, education and funding as priorities, as well as in standardization of legislation, control methods and best practise of research.
Abstract: Invasive alien species (IAS) are a significant and growing problem worldwide. In Europe, some aspects of IAS have been
addressed through existing legal instruments, but these are far from sufficient to tackle the problem comprehensively. The
FINS II Conference considered the relevance of Top 20 IAS issues (Top 10 threats and opportunities) for Europe determined
at the 1st Freshwater Invasiveness – Networking for Strategy (FINS I) conference held in Ireland in 2013. Using a similar
format of sequential group voting, threats from FINS I (lack of funding, of awareness and education; poor communication)
and several new threats (lack of lead agencies, of standardized management and of common approach; insufficient monitoring
and management on private property) were identified by 80 academics, applied scientists, policy makers and stakeholders
from 14 EU and three non-EU countries (including 10 invited speakers) during four workshop break-out sessions (legislation
remit in both EU/non-EU countries; best management and biosecurity practice for control; data management and early warning;
pathways of introductions and citizen science). Identified opportunities include improved cooperation and communication,
education and leadership to enhance public awareness and stakeholder participation, systems establishment for early detection,
rapid response, monitoring and management of IAS using standardised methods of data collection, storage and usage. The
sets of threats and opportunities identified underline the importance of international cooperation on IAS issues in
communication, education and funding as priorities, as well as in standardization of legislation, control methods and best
practise of research.
