Abstract Since its inception in early 2000, Vanderbilt University's Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) Service has experienced a high level of success as measured by high proficiency rates and increasing patient procedures each year, low complication rates during and after PICC placements, and an increasing scope of influence within the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Children's Hospital, the surrounding community, and in the Southeastern United States. Primary drivers of the PICC Service's continuing success include consistent applications of technique and technology, a data-driven approach to assessing the program's progress, and appropriately managing customers' expectations and needs. Over the past five years, data were collected on more than 12,500 PICC placements performed in this specialized nursing program. Retrospective analyses of the data demonstrate an increasing rate of successful placements (from 87.2% to 92.4%) since the program's inception in 2000 to late 2004. Furthermore, the choice of PICC technology has had a significant impact on the odds for occlusion or infection. The Vanderbilt PICC Service provides a model by which other programs can be established, maintained, and expanded into advanced practice.

Dynamic covalent chemistry-based sensors have recently emerged as powerful tools to rapidly determine the enantiomeric excess of organic small molecules. While a bevy of sensors have been developed, those for flexible molecules with stereocenters remote to the functional group that binds the chiroptical sensor remain scarce. In this study, we develop an iterative, data-driven workflow to design and analyze a chiroptical sensor capable of assessing challenging acyclic γ-stereogenic alcohols. Fol-lowing sensor optimization, the mechanism of sensing was probed with a combination of computational parameterization of the sensor molecules, statistical modeling, and high-level density functional theory (DFT) calculations. These were used to elucidate the mechanism of stereochemical recognition and revealed that competing attractive non-covalent interactions (NCIs) determine the overall performance of the sensor. It is anticipated that the data-driven workflows developed herein will be generally applicable to the development and understanding of dynamic covalent and supramolecular sensors.

HVLV environments are characterized by high product variety and small lot production, pushing companies to recursively design and optimize their production systems in a very short time to reach high-level performance. To increase their competitiveness, companies belonging to these industries, often SMEs working as third parties, ask for decision-making tools to support them in a quick and reactive reconfiguration of their production lines. Traditional discrete event simulation models, widely studied in the literature to solve production-related issues, do not allow real-time support to business decisions in dynamic contexts, due to the time-consuming activities needed to re-align parameters to changing environments. Data-driven approach overcomes these limitations, giving the possibility to easily update input and quickly rebuild the model itself without any changes in the modeling code. The proposed data-driven simulation model has also been interfaced with a commonly-used BI tool to support companies in the iterative comparison of different scenarios to define the optimal resource allocation for the requested production plan. The simulation model has been implemented into a SME operating in the footwear industry, showing how this approach can be used by companies to increase their performance even without a specific knowledge in building and validating simulation models.

In a project to build a web-based auto-generated forms framework, we needed to decide whether to use XForms for the 'designer' user interface as well as for the generated forms. In trying to make this decision it became apparent that, at a fundamental level, there are two distinctly different means to develop web-based interfaces. These two means, or approaches, can be described as 'data-driven' or 'behavioural'. We suggest that the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design 'pattern', which is now becoming popular as terminology for describing the basis of several JavaScript web development frameworks, is of limited practical usefulness as it encompasses too many variants. In contrast, the distinction between 'data-driven' and 'behavioural' approaches seems to be a more useful. In particular, it provides clarity in distinguishing the respective benefits of using 'XML technologies' (particularly XPath) versus other object-based alternatives for web application development. This distinction is illustrated using working examples from this on-going project. Some implications, such as the role of schema documents in the data-driven approach, the practicality of writing XML 'as code', and issues encountered with the 'XRX' architecture are also discussed.
