Principles and application of LIMS in mouse clinics
Clinical researchers conducting mouse studies at seven different facilities around the world shared their experiences using a laboratory information management system (LIMS) in order "to facilitate or even enable mouse and data management" better in their facilities. This 2015 paper by Maier et al. examines those discussions and final findings in a "review" format, concluding "the unique LIMS environment in a particular facility strongly influences strategic LIMS decisions and LIMS development" though "there is no universal LIMS for the mouse research domain that fits all requirements."

In this 2016 article in Applied Computing and Informatics, Hussain et al. take a closer look at the types of security attacks specific to cloud-based offerings and proposes a new multi-level classification model to clarify them, with an end goal "to determine the risk level and type of security required for each service at different cloud layers for a cloud consumer and cloud provider."
Velos Surpasses 10,000 Active Studies
The Velos eResearch clinical trial management system (CTMS) is now used to manage more than 10,000 active studies with individual customers conducting or participating in anywhere from less than 10 to more than 500 active studies. A wealth of data, including over 400,000 biospecimen samples and 550,000 patients, is currently fueling the work of nearly 35,000 users of Velos eResearch across 2,000 research sites.

LIMS Benefits for Every Holiday
Around every holiday there's an increase in buying activity. Your LIMS can lead to better inventory planning, quicker release of materials, and the ability to search for data more quickly. Be prepared for the next holiday so that you can reap the most benefits of increased consumer buying activities.From the desktop to the grid: Scalable bioinformatics via workflow conversion
This featured article from the journal BMC Bioinformaticsfalls on the heels of several years of discussion on the topic of reproducibility of a scientific experiment's end results. De la Garza et al. point to workflows and their repeatability as vital cogs in such efforts. "Breaking down the complexity of such experiments into the joint collaboration of small, repeatable, well defined tasks, each with well defined inputs, parameters, and outputs, offers the immediate benefit of identifying bottlenecks, pinpoint sections which could benefit from parallelization"
Open source data logger for low-cost environmental monitoring
This 2014 paper by Ed Baker of London’s Natural History Museum outlines a methodology for combining open-source software such as Drupal with open hardware like Arduino to create a real-time environmental monitoring station that is low-power and low-cost. Baker outlines step by step his approach (he calls it a “how to guide”) to creating an open-source environmental data logger that incorporates a digital temperature and humidity sensor. Though he offers no formal conclusions, Baker states: “It is hoped that the publication of this device will encourage biodiversity scientists to collaborate outside of their discipline, whether it be with citizen engineers or professional academics.”
Icebergs Ahead – How's your Disaster Recovery Plan?
With record-retention mandates differing worldwide, organizations cannot be too risk averse in their backup retention policies. The risk of not doing so can have both legal and financial consequences including fines, shutdowns, and loss of revenue. This article discusses recommended action items for virtual machines and questions to consider when writing a Disaster Recovery Plan.Icebergs Ahead – How’s your Disaster Recovery Plan?

Evaluating health information systems using ontologies
Evaluating health information systems/technology is no easy task. Eivazzadeh et al. recognize that, as well as the fact that developing evaluation frameworks presents its own set of challenges. Having looked at several different models, the researchers wished to develop their own evaluation method, one that taps into “evaluation aspects for a set of one or more health information systems — whether similar or heterogeneous — by organizing, unifying, and aggregating the quality attributes extracted from those systems and from an external evaluation framework.”
