The performance and efficiency of Web Service messaging can be greatly increased by removing the redundant parts of SOAP messages. This paper describes our research work in optimizing SOAP message contents. This area is particularly important to those applications that are physically constrained mobile computing environments. The redundant or static parts of the SOAP message may be treated as m...

Web services, with an emphasis on open standards and flexibility, can provide benefits over existing capital markets’ integration practices. However, Web services must first meet certain technical requirements, including performance, security, and so on. Based on extensible markup language (XML), Web services inherit not only the advantages of XML, but its relatively poor performance, which mak...

SOAP (simple object access protocol) is a protocol that allows the access to remote objects independently of the computer architecture and the language. A client using SOAP can send or receive objects, or access remote object methods. Unlike other remote procedure call methods, like XML-RPC or RMI, SOAP can use many different transport types (for instance, it could be called as a CGI or as sock...

Making soap bubbles by blowing air on a soap film is an enjoyable activity, yet a poorly understood phenomenon. Working either with circular bubble wands or long-lived vertical soap films having an adjustable steady state thickness, we investigate the formation of such bubbles when a gas is blown through a nozzle onto a film. We vary film size, nozzle radius, space between the film and nozzle, ...

The natural pH of sodium dodecanoate (laurate), NaL, and sodium tetradecanoate (myristate), NaMy, solutions is measured as a function of the surfactant concentrations at 25 degrees C, and at several fixed NaCl concentrations. Surface tension isotherms are also obtained. Depending on the surfactant concentration, the investigated solutions contain precipitates of alkanoic acid, neutral soap, and...

The characteristics of armour paints, historically used to protect ferrous industrial heritage, are explored. Amour paints contain lamellar and highly reflexive pigments micaceous iron oxide (MIO) metallic, leafing aluminium, bound in linseed oil oil–tung mixtures, on an inhibitive soap-forming primer (red lead). It is the first study binding media for historical investigates chemical physical ...

this review reports recent advances in metallic nanostructures based electrochemical sensors. interesting aspects of nps include size and shape-dependent interatomic bond distances, melting points, chemical reactivity, and optical and electronic properties. the small size of metallic nanostructures has allowed nanoscale electrochemical processes to be probed. electrochemical characteristics can...

BACKGROUND Diarrhea prevalence increases from around the time that complementary foods are introduced. Improving caregiver's hand hygiene during food preparation could reduce complementary food contamination and enteric pathogen transmission. Washing hands with soap is more common when water and soap are together at a convenient location. We conducted a three-month pilot intervention to evaluat...

We examine the instability of a soap film flow driven by a time-independent force that is spatially periodic in the direction perpendicular to the forcing (Kolmogorov flow). Linear stability analysis of an idealized model of this flow predicts a critical Reynolds number R(c) is approximately equal to the square root of 2. In our soap film experiment, we find a critical value R(c) is approximate...

Behavior change communication for improving handwashing with soap can be labor and resource intensive, yet quality results are difficult to achieve. Nudges are environmental cues engaging unconscious decision-making processes to prompt behavior change. In this proof-of-concept study, we developed an inexpensive set of nudges to encourage handwashing with soap after toilet use in two primary sch...
