BACKGROUND A digital dashboard on malaria epidemiological data will be an invaluable resource for the research community and the planning of malaria control. OBJECTIVE To develop a digital Malaria Dashboard (MDB) for malaria epidemiological data METHODS We have developed a digital Malaria Dashboard (MDB) using the R software. A total of thirteen different R packages were used in this process, within which shiny and ggplot2 were used more intensively. The MDB is a web application that can work online as well as offline. Presently it is available in offline mode only. The MS Excel file may be used as an input data source and any personal computer may be used for this application. RESULTS The MDB is a highly versatile interface that allows prompt and interactive analysis of malaria epidemiological data. The primary interface of MDB is like a web page that has 14 tabs (or pages), some more tabs may be added or deleted as per requirement and each tab corresponds to a particular analysis. A user may move from one tab to another via tab icons. Each tab thus allows flexibility in correlating various parameters like SPR, API, AFI, ABER, RT, malaria cases, death due to malaria, BSC, and BSE. The data can be analyzed in required granularity (national, state, district), and its enhanced visualization allows for facile usage. Using the MDB, one can quickly assess national or more granular scenarios in a time series manner and then compare the malaria epidemiology in various states and their constituent districts. CONCLUSIONS This MDB is a highly effective digital tool for studying the malaria situation and strategizing for malaria elimination and researcher may use it as a prototype for developing some other dashboards in their own fields.

AbstractLiterature exploration in PubMed on a large number of biomedical entities (e.g., genes, diseases, experiments) can be time consuming and challenging comparing many entities to one other. Here, we describe SimText, a user-friendly toolset that provides customizable and systematic workflows for the analysis of similarities among a set of entities based on words from abstracts and/or other text. SimText can be used for (i) data generation: text collection from PubMed and extraction of words with different text mining approaches, and (ii) interactive analysis of data using unsupervised learning techniques and visualization in a Shiny web application.Availability and ImplementationWe developed SimText as an open-source R software and integrated it into Galaxy, an online data analysis platform. A command line version of the toolset is available for download from GitHub at https://github.com/mgramm1/simtext.

The Web

Content is a key influencing factor in Web Quality of Experience (QoE) estimation. A web user’s satisfaction can be influenced by how long it takes to render and visualize the visible parts of the web page in the browser. This is referred to as the Above-the-fold (ATF) time. SpeedIndex (SI) has been widely used to estimate perceived web page loading speed of ATF content and a proxy metric for Web QoE estimation. Web application developers have been actively introducing innovative interactive features, such as animated and multimedia content, aiming to capture the users’ attention and improve the functionality and utility of the web applications. However, the literature shows that, for the websites with animated content, the estimated ATF time using the state-of-the-art metrics may not accurately match completed ATF time as perceived by users. This study introduces a new metric, Plausibly Complete Time (PCT), that estimates ATF time for a user’s perception of websites with and without animations. PCT can be integrated with SI and web QoE models. The accuracy of the proposed metric is evaluated based on two publicly available datasets. The proposed metric holds a high positive Spearman’s correlation (rs=0.89) with the Perceived ATF reported by the users for websites with and without animated content. This study demonstrates that using PCT as a KPI in QoE estimation models can improve the robustness of QoE estimation in comparison to using the state-of-the-art ATF time metric. Furthermore, experimental result showed that the estimation of SI using PCT improves the robustness of SI for websites with animated content. The PCT estimation allows web application designers to identify where poor design has significantly increased ATF time and refactor their implementation before it impacts end-user experience.

Manual Extraction

The Internet is the largest source of information created by humanity. It contains a variety of materials available in various formats such as text, audio, video and much more. In all web scraping is one way. It is a set of strategies here in which we get information from the website instead of copying the data manually. Many Web-based data extraction methods are designed to solve specific problems and work on ad-hoc domains. Various tools and technologies have been developed to facilitate Web Scraping. Unfortunately, the appropriateness and ethics of using these Web Scraping tools are often overlooked. There are hundreds of web scraping software available today, most of them designed for Java, Python and Ruby. There is also open source software and commercial software. Web-based software such as YahooPipes, Google Web Scrapers and Firefox extensions for Outwit are the best tools for beginners in web cutting. Web extraction is basically used to cut this manual extraction and editing process and provide an easy and better way to collect data from a web page and convert it into the desired format and save it to a local or archive directory. In this paper, among others the kind of scrub, we focus on those techniques that extract the content of a Web page. In particular, we use scrubbing techniques for a variety of diseases with their own symptoms and precautions.

Federated Queries

AbstractThe Resource Description Framework (RDF), together with well-defined ontologies, significantly increases data interoperability and usability. The SPARQL query language was introduced to retrieve requested RDF data and to explore links between them. Among other useful features, SPARQL supports federated queries that combine multiple independent data source endpoints. This allows users to obtain insights that are not possible using only a single data source. Owing to all of these useful features, many biological and chemical databases present their data in RDF, and support SPARQL querying. In our project, we primary focused on PubChem, ChEMBL and ChEBI small-molecule datasets. These datasets are already being exported to RDF by their creators. However, none of them has an official and currently supported SPARQL endpoint. This omission makes it difficult to construct complex or federated queries that could access all of the datasets, thus underutilising the main advantage of the availability of RDF data. Our goal is to address this gap by integrating the datasets into one database called the Integrated Database of Small Molecules (IDSM) that will be accessible through a SPARQL endpoint. Beyond that, we will also focus on increasing mutual interoperability of the datasets. To realise the endpoint, we decided to implement an in-house developed SPARQL engine based on the PostgreSQL relational database for data storage. In our approach, data are stored in the traditional relational form, and the SPARQL engine translates incoming SPARQL queries into equivalent SQL queries. An important feature of the engine is that it optimises the resulting SQL queries. Together with optimisations performed by PostgreSQL, this allows efficient evaluations of SPARQL queries. The endpoint provides not only querying in the dataset, but also the compound substructure and similarity search supported by our Sachem project. Although the endpoint is accessible from an internet browser, it is mainly intended to be used for programmatic access by other services, for example as a part of federated queries. For regular users, we offer a rich web application called ChemWebRDF using the endpoint. The application is publicly available at https://idsm.elixir-czech.cz/chemweb/.

<p>Fossil accumulations can be generated by (1) high input of organism remains or (2) by low sedimentation rates, reducing the volume of sediment between individual fossils. This creates a paradox, in which shell beds may form in environments with low biomass production. This effect of sedimentary condensation on fossil abundance is easy to understand, however, its implications are hard to grasp and visualize.</p><p>We present the shellbed condensator ( https://stratigraphicpaleobiology.shinyapps.io/shellbed_condensator/ ), a web application that allows to interactively visualize and animate the effects of sedimentary condensation and erosion on fossil abundance and proxies recorded by the sedimentary record. It is an adaptation of the seminal computer simulation by Kidwell (1985). The application is written in R Software and uses the shiny package for the construction of the web interface and the DAIME package for the sedimentological model (Hohmann, 2021). It allows creating stratigraphic expressions and age models for combinations of fossil input and sedimentation rates defined by the user.</p><p>To assess the utility of shiny apps for teaching purposes, we examine student understanding of sedimentary condensation after unsupervised studying and after unsupervised usage of the app. Due to their strong visual and interactive components, shiny apps are a powerful and versatile tool for science communication, teaching, self-study, the visualization of large datasets, and the promotion of scientific findings.</p><p> </p>

Segregating the web page content into logical chunks is one of the popular techniques for modular organization of web page. While chunk-based approach works well for public web scenarios, in case of mobile-first personalization cases, chunking strategy would not be as effective for performance optimization due to dynamic nature of the Web content and due to the nature of content granularity. In this paper, the authors propose a novel framework Micro chunk based Web Delivery Framework which proposes and uses a novel concept of “micro chunk”. The micro chunk based Web Delivery framework aims to address the performance challenges posed by regular chunk in a personalized web scenario. The authors will look at the methods for creating micro chunk and they will discuss the advantages of micro chunk when compared to a regular chunk for a personalized mobile web scenario. They have created a prototype application implementing the Micro chunk based Web Delivery Framework and benchmarked it against a regular personalized web application to quantify the performance improvements achieved by micro chunk design.
