Implementation Issues on OHS-based Workflow Services

We believe that workflow services can be implemented using the OHS approach and such an open hypermedia based workflow service will be more flexible to fit into dynamic work situations than other approaches to provide WF functionality. The on-going OHS work on a component-based architecture and an extensible open hypermedia data model provides a foundation for developing such hypermedia based W...

The fossil tabanids (Diptera Tabanidae): when they began to appreciate warm blood and when they began transmit diseases?

A discussion of the known fossil tabanids (Diptera Tabanidae) is presented based on fossil evidence. This includes the origin of the hemathophagy in the Brachycera, more specifically for tabanids. Several tabanid species in the extant fauna are vectors for disease-producing organisms that affect humans and animals. Bacteria, viruses, rickettsiae, protozoa, and filarial worms can be transmitted ...

Polihexanide for wound treatment--how it began.

The essential role of wound antiseptics was discovered in the 18th century. Since then, many different procedures and substances have been developed and used for this indication. In the 1980s, polihexanide was introduced by Prof. Willenegger in Switzerland. Today, consensus recommendations confirm the potential of this substance for wound treatment. Various polihexanide-containing wound care pr...
