In the existing frameworks for web services there is no incentive to bind dynamically to a specific web service. However, once runtime information concerning those web services is available to the application, dynamic binding becomes advantageous over a static pre-decided one. We propose a model that provides web service clients with runtime information that is pertinent to its execution and bu...

Millions of programmers use ECMACLI-compliant languages like VB.NET and C#. The resulting bytecode can be executed on several CLI implementations, such as those from Microsoft and the open-source Mono organisation. While assemblies are the standard unit of deployment, no standard exists for the process of finding and loading assemblies at run-time. The process is typically complex, and varies b...

Context: Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) have emerged as a new paradigm todevelop interoperable and highly dynamic applications.Objective: This paper aims to identify the state of the art in the research on testing inService Oriented Architectures with dynamic binding.Method: A mapping study has been performed employing both manual and automaticsearch in journals, confe...

DNA of replication foci attached to the nuclear matrix was isolated from Chinese hamster ovary cells and human HeLa cells synchronized at different stages of the G(1) and S phases of the cell cycle. The abundance of sequences from dihydrofolate reductase ori-beta and the beta-globin replicator was determined in matrix-attached DNA. The results show that matrix-attached DNA isolated from cells i...

To investigate the possible role of the superoxide radical and its scavenging system in the human endometrium, the immunohistochemical distribution of superoxide dismutase (SOD), activities of SOD and lipid peroxide concentrations were studied in the human endometrium throughout the menstrual cycle and in early pregnancy. The endometrial epithelium showed a positive immunostaining for Cu, Zn-SO...

Anti-inflammatory effects of acetonic and methanolic extracts of aerial parts of Stachys byzanthina were investigated in this study. For assessment of anti-inflammatory properties, two well-characterized inflammatory models, formalin test and carrageenan-induced paw edema were used. In the former, the recording of the early phase started immediately after formalin injection and lasted for 10 mi...

BACKGROUND Elevation of C-reactive protein (CRP) as a marker of vascular inflammation at a late phase of drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation may predict subsequent major adverse cardiac events (MACE). METHODS AND RESULTS In 1234 consecutive patients undergoing DES implantation, CRP was measured both before (baseline) and 8 to 12 months after (late phase) stenting, and the relationship betwe...

Long-term synaptic depression (LTD) of cerebellar parallel fiber-Purkinje cell synapses is a form of use-dependent synaptic plasticity that may be studied in cell culture. One form of LTD is induced postsynaptically through an mGlu1/Ca influx/protein kinase Cα (PKCα) cascade, and its initial expression requires phosphorylation of ser-880 in the COOH-terminal PDZ-ligand region of GluA2 and conse...
