LONDON, March 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ION, a global leader in trading and workflow automation software, high-value analytics and insights, and strategic consulting to financial institutions, central banks, governments, and corporates, announces that FastTrade MBP – developed by ION-owned LIST – won ‘Best smart order routing (SOR) application’ at the TradingTech Insight (TTI) Awards Europe 2024.

“FastTrade helps our clients stand out against the competition. We are thrilled that FastTrade MBP won ‘Best SOR application’ at the TTI Europe Awards 2024,” says Mirko Marcadella, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at LIST

The annual TTI Europe Awards recognize excellence in trading solutions, services, and consultancy for capital markets, focusing on vendors that provide exceptional trading infrastructure, trading technology, and data solutions. To determine the category winners, the TTI Europe Awards program combines the results of online voting with input from the TTI Advisory Board. This year’s TTI Europe Awards ceremony coincided with the TradingTech Summit 2024 in Canary Wharf, London.

FastTrade MBP is LIST’s multi-asset order management system (OMS) and execution management system (EMS) front office platform. Its embedded SOR engine, liquidity aggregation capabilities, and programmable algo trading framework deliver best execution across multiple trading venues and different asset classes.

Order execution can be fully automatic (low touch), manual (high touch), or a combination of the two (both ways: high touch child orders may be released to an automated algorithm; an unexecuted low touch order can end up in the blotter for manual intervention). Key features of FastTrade MBP’s configurable SOR and best execution workflow include liquidity aggregation and price discovery; pre-trade transaction cost analysis (TCA); optimized, multi-venue execution; and reporting.

“We are thrilled that FastTrade MBP won ‘Best SOR application’ at the TTI Europe Awards 2024,” says Mirko Marcadella, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at LIST. “As trading and execution become increasingly competitive, vendors seek to differentiate themselves. FastTrade helps our clients stand out against the competition. The platform complies fully with existing regulations on automated trading – notably MiFID II requirements on best execution, transparency, and algorithmic trading. And it offers an out-of-the-box, comprehensive, fully customizable solution for multi-asset best execution.”

Evidencing ION’s track record for award-winning products, ION Fidessa won ‘Best Sell-Side OMS’, and FastTrade won ‘Best SOR System’ at the TTI Europe Awards 2023. And FastTrade won ‘Best SOR System’ at the TTI Europe Awards 2022, while ION MarketFactory won ‘Best Low Latency Data Feed Provider – Managed’ at the same forum.

Meet With Culture: Exquisite Craftsmanship of Traditional Chinese Architecture

Published

on

By

BEIJING, Dec. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Temple of Agriculture in Beijing played a significant role during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Over nearly 600 years, 25 emperors personally visited or sent ministers to perform spring farming ceremonies and offer sacrifices to Shennong, the god of agriculture.

 

Built in 1420 during the Yongle reign, the temple’s predecessor was the Temple of Mountains and Rivers in Nanjing. When Emperor Zhu Di moved the Ming capital to Beijing, he constructed a larger temple inspired by the Nanjing temple, which gradually evolved into the Temple of Agriculture.

The Taisui Hall, the largest building complex in the temple, now serves as a major exhibition hall of the Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum, showcasing models of classical Chinese buildings and demonstrating the solemnity of royal architecture.

Ancient Chinese architecture is predominantly wooden-structured, chosen for its availability, versatility, and earthquake resistance. Artisans developed sophisticated techniques in material selection and construction. The wooden framework consists of columns, beams, girders, and purlins, with innovative structural forms like lifting-beam and piercing-bracket structures.

A unique architectural element is the dougong (bracket sets), which supports weight and connects beam frames with column walls. Mortise-tenon joints were invented to create elastic frameworks by connecting different components.

While discussing the Temple of Agriculture, it’s worth noting another remarkable example of architectural hierarchy which could be found in the Temple of Heaven. The hierarchy of architectural designs reflected social stratification, with eave structures like the triple-layered eaves of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest representing the highest-level architectural design.

Over centuries, the Temple of Agriculture has transformed from an imperial garden to a public park and a museum for historical architecture, now standing as a significant cultural landmark that symbolizes China’s agricultural civilization and architectural heritage along Beijing’s Central Axis.

Patent leverages AI technology to improve patient outcomes and reduce cost of care

DANA POINT, Calif., Dec. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — SecondOpinionExpert, Inc. (SOE), a leading healthcare technology company, announced today that it has filed patent application 133902-0002UT01 with the United States Patent and Trademark Office entitled “Method and Apparatus for Generating Automated Medical Opinions Using Artificial Intelligence.” The patent covers the company’s proprietary system that communicates a medical opinion to a user based on a trained model that uses artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML).

“In the near future, we’ll launch our free app, enabling users to access high-quality medical opinions. This innovative app empowers individuals with insightful medical guidance that improves health and saves lives,” said Steve Krause, President of SecondOpinionExpert, Inc.”

Medical second opinions have traditionally been obtained by seeking out another healthcare professional who reviews the patient’s medical records, diagnoses, and tests. However, the rapidly increasing complexity of medical information, the demand for faster turnaround times, and the limitations of human expert availability have created a need for automated systems that utilize AI to generate both first and second medical opinions.

Artificial intelligence has made significant strides in medical diagnostics, including image recognition, predictive modeling, and natural language processing (NLP). These advancements present an opportunity to augment traditional second opinion systems by automatically processing patient medical records, diagnostic tests, and clinical data to generate high-quality first and second medical opinions.

SecondOpinionExpert’s technology increases the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery, improves healthcare access and empowers doctors and patients to make better informed medical decisions. The HIPAA-compliant patented platform leverages recent advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning and electronic medical record systems enabling the company to provide fast, reliable and secure online medical opinions. The system provides patients greater peace of mind by leveraging the power of AI and ML.

“Our patent-pending AI enabled technology platform provides a cost-effective choice that improves patient care,” said Steve Krause, President, SecondOpinionExpert, Inc. “In the near future, we look forward to launching our user-friendly app that will be initially free of charge. People using our platform will be able to quickly obtain high quality medical opinions while avoiding unnecessary travel time and expense, knowing that they will be getting insightful medical guidance that improves health and saves lives.”
