We here present methods, tools and results for efficiently collecting metadata and tracking samples collected in the field. The samples and metadata were collected during scientific cruises conducted ...by amongst others marine biologists, oceanographers, geochemists and marine geologists in the Nansen Legacy project. It is here reported on the successful development and implementation of a system for labeling, tracking and openly publishing metadata from the cruises. The results and tools have been made openly available, as they are suitable for a range of situations, from the individual scientist working in the field to large research missions.

RESUMO Emprega técnicas bibliométricas para identificar as características primordiais da produção de artigos científicos sobre Gestão de Dados. De natureza aplicada, abordagem quantitativa e caráter ...exploratório, a pesquisa faz uso de um levantamento nas bases de dados Web of Science, SCOPUS, ScienceDirect e Emerald, recuperando um total de 3.683 artigos científicos publicados entre 1963 e 2018. Revela a tendência de crescimento no ritmo de publicações sobre o tema abordado, que obteve seu auge em 2017 com 210 artigos publicados. Pela amostra, coloca Yin Zang como autor mais produtivo com 18 documentos e, pela análise de rede, coloca H. Garcia-Molina como autor mais influente. Entre as palavras-chave mais recorrentes, destaca além dos conceitos relacionados à tecnologia da informação, o termo “human” como um dos mais influentes. A análise dos periódicos ressalta a superioridade das fontes voltadas a pesquisas sobre tecnologia, com predomínio do tema “bancos de dados”, mas também destaca a presença de revistas da área médica e correlatas.
ABSTRACT This study uses bibliometric techniques to identify the primordial characteristics of the production of scientific articles on Data Managment. Classified as applied in nature, with a quantitative approach and exploratory character, the research retrieves from the Web of Science, SCOPUS, ScienceDirect and Emerald databases, a total of 3,683 scientific articles published between 1963 and 2018. As an outcome, the paper reveals the trend of growth in the rhythm of publications on the topic addressed, which reached its peak in 2017 with 210 articles published. For the sample, Yin Zang is the most productive author with 18 papers and, by network analysis, H. Garcia-Molina is the most influential author. Among the most recurrent keywords, it emphasizes the concepts non-related to information technology - the term "human" with one of the most influential. The analysis of the journals highlights the superiority of the sources of research on technology, with a predominance of the theme "databases", but also highlights the presence of journals in the medical field and correlates.
Objective
To gather data about structural and procedural characteristics of patient rounds in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting.
Design
A structured online survey was offered to members of two ...German intensive care medicine societies.
Measurements and main results
Intensivists representing 390 German ICUs participated in this study (university hospitals 25%, tertiary hospitals 23%, secondary hospitals 36%, primary hospitals 16%). In 90% of participating ICUs, rounds were reported to take place in the morning and cover an average of 12 intensive care beds and 6 intermediate care beds within 60 min. With an estimated bed occupancy of 80%, this averaged to 4.3 min spent per patient during rounds. In 96% of ICUs, rounds were stated to include a bedside visit. On weekdays, 86% of the respondents reported holding a second ICU round with the attendance of a qualified decision-maker (e.g. board-certified intensivist). On weekends, 79% of the ICUs performed at least one round with a decision-maker per day. In 18%, only one ICU round per weekend was reported, mostly on Sundays. The highest-qualified decision-maker present during rounds on most ICUs was an ICU attending (57%). Residents (96%) and intensive care nurses (87%) were stated to be always or usually present during rounds. In contrast, physiotherapists, respiratory therapists or medical specialists such as pharmacists or microbiologist were not regular members of the rounding team on most ICUs. In the majority of cases, the participants reported examining the medical chart directly before or during the bedside visit (84%). An electronic patient data management system (PDMS) was available on 31% of ICUs. Daily goals were always (55%) or usually (39%) set during rounds.
Conclusion
This survey gives a broad overview of the structure and processes of ICU rounds in different sized hospitals in Germany. Compared to other mostly Anglo-American studies, German ICU rounds appear to be shorter and less interdisciplinary.

Key challenges in mobile ad-hoc networks are computational resource constraints, power limitations and time delays in information exchange. Therefore it is necessary to develop intelligent, efficient ...indexing strategies for knowledge addressing and exchange in dynamic mobile P2P architectures. The short range radio technology Bluetooth suffers from long service discovery delays and high power consumption due to required connection establishment based on its service-discovery-protocol (SDP). To overcome this situation we propose a new approach. By leveraging the capability of the bluetooth inquiry procedure, we significantly reduce the service discovery time and hence lower the power consumption. Based on a performance evaluation and a comparison with the legacy SDP, we present the benefits of our new approach.
Data management is the core task of IT, yet it has been sadly undervalued and largely ignored for the past thirty years. Data management problems are often approached from a storage perspective, ...which leads to vendor lock-in, management complexity, and difficulty incorporating emerging technologies in a heterogeneous environment. - However, the unprecedented growth of data - in the 10-60 zettabyte range by 2020 - has larger firms and public cloud services, who are concerned about how they will store all the data cost-effectively, suddenly very interested in developing a data management strategy that combines the latest technologies into a serviceable cognitive data management capability that can help bridge incompatible point solutions. - Media and entertainment has, in many respects, been on the leading edge of the data explosion. It makes sense that M&E will also be on the cutting edge of solutioneering to realize the cognitive data management vision. - This paper looks at the drivers of, the requirements for, and the essential functionality of cognitive data management strategy, and how these principles may apply to M&E workflows. In addition, the paper will show how such a metadata-centric approach can help companies overcome data silos and enable IT planners to take advantage of any storage technology without impacting users, or adding IT management complexity.
