Big data management for cloud-enabled geological information services

In this 2018 paper published in Scientific Programming, Zhu et al. review the state of big data in the geological sciences and provide context to the challenges associated with managing that data in the cloud using China's various databases and tools as examples. Using the term "cloud-enabled geological information services" or CEGIS, they also outline the existing and new technologies that will bring together and shape how geologic data is accessed and used in the cloud. They conclude that "[w]ith the continuous development of big data technologies in addressing those challenges related to geological big data, such as the difficulties of describing and modeling geological big data with some complex characteristics, CEGIS will move towards a more mature and more intelligent direction in the future."

Evidence-based design and evaluation of a whole genome sequencing clinical report for the reference microbiology laboratory

Reporting isn't as simple as casually placing key figures on a page; significant work should go into designing a report template, particularly those reporting specialized data , like that found in the world of pathogen genomics. Crisan et al. of the University of British Columbia and the BC Centre for Disease Control looked for evidence-based guidelines on creating reports for such a specialty — specifically for tuberculosis genomic testing — and couldn't find any. So they researched and created their own. This 2018 paper details their journey towards a final report design, concluding "that the application of human-centered design methodologies allowed us to improve not only the visual aesthetics of the final report, but also its functionality, by carefully coupling stakeholder tasks, data, and constraints to techniques from information and graphic design."

Managing Cannabis Testing Lab Workflows using LIMS

Managing Cannabis Testing Lab Workflows using LIMSWith the increasing legalization of both adult recreational and medical cannabis, there is a need for robust and reliable cannabis analytical testing to ensure consumer safety and drug potency. Cannabis testing laboratories receive high volumes of test requests from cannabis cultivators for testing quantitative and qualitative aspects of the plant. As the volume of tests each lab performs increases, the need for laboratories to make effective use of time and resource management, such as ensuring accurate and quick results, reports, regulatory compliance, quality assurance and many other aspects of data management becomes vital in staying competitive. To achieve this, a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) can play a vital role in addressing the data management challenges, maximizing automation, and in complying with the regulatory requirements.
