To obtain business benefits resulting from the implementation of an SOA approach is not sufficient managing technical features. A strategy aligned to business should be considered as a basis for activities of implementation, validation, development and services management. A business case, a reference model and an architecture of the organization should be established. This paper proposes SOA g...

Organic aerosols are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and play a central role in climate, air quality, and public health. The aerosol size distribution is key in determining its optical properties and cloud condensation nucleus activity. The dominant portion of organic aerosol is formed through gas-phase oxidation of volatile organic compounds, so-called secondary organic aerosols (SOAs). Typical e...

A substantial fraction of the total ultrafine particulate mass is comprised of organic compounds. Of this fraction, a significant subfraction is secondary organic aerosol (SOA), meaning that the compounds are a by-product of chemistry in the atmosphere. However, our understanding of the kinetics and mechanisms leading to and following SOA formation is in its infancy. We lack a clear description...

It has been widely accepted that service oriented architecture (SoA), has been a promising approach for business development and growth. SoA principles (also known as SoA qualities) attempt to guide development, maintenance, and usage of the SoA. These principles provide benefits like: ease of reuse, service automation, and lowering integration costs. However, they can also lead to security iss...

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is formed from the atmospheric oxidation of gas-phase organic compounds leading to the formation of particle mass. Gasoline- and diesel-powered motor vehicles, both on/off-road, are important sources of SOA precursors. They emit complex mixtures of gas-phase organic compounds that vary in volatility and molecular structure-factors that influence their contributio...

[1] This paper discusses the reversibility of gas-particle partitioning in secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed from a-pinene ozonolysis in a smog chamber. Previously, phase partitioning has been studied quantitatively via SOA production experiments and qualitatively by perturbing temperature and observing particle evaporation. In this work, two methods were used to isothermally dilute the SO...

The Department of Defense (DoD) is undergoing a progressive transformation towards a Net-Centric enterprise, and SOA has become a major enabling factor in driving the transformation. One of the major challenges facing many SOA-based programs in DoD is how to define a SOA model that is robust and scalable enough to meet mission-specific needs, while satisfying the Net-Centric requirements for da...

Certain biogenic secondary organic aerosols (SOA) become absorbent and fluorescent when exposed to reduced nitrogen compounds such as ammonia, amines, and their salts. Fluorescent SOA may potentially be mistaken for biological particles by detection methods relying on fluorescence. This work quantifies the spectral distribution and effective quantum yields of fluorescence of water-soluble SOA g...

provides extensive details on this on demand SOA approach as a comprehensive integration of business process transformation and the enabling technologies of services and policy-based IT management. The above are just two recent examples of the attempt to add more substance and depth to the practice of SOA. So, what are the common elements of communicating in-depth details of an SOA? There are s...

The Soa bitter-sensitivity and Prp salivary-protein loci map to distal mouse chromosome six. No recombination has been found between sucrose octaacetate (SOA)-avoidance phenotype and PRP haplotype in any mouse population. Soa and Prp, therefore, are either very near each other or identical. To assess the latter possibility, two type-A, proline-rich protein genes (MP2 and M14), situated approxim...
