The number of publicly available Web services (WS) is continuously growing, and in parallel, we are witnessing a rapid development in semanticrelated web technologies. The intersection of the semantic web and WS allows the development of semantic WS. In this work, we adopt a complex network perspective to perform a comparative analysis of the syntactic and semantic approaches used to describe W...

Web Service compositions combine characteristics of both the Web service (WS) and workflow technologies. The workflow technology is good at explicitly defining integration logic. Web services bring in standardized service description and communication over the Web, and thus provide for seamless integration across organizational boundaries. The two technologies mutually amplify their benefits in...

Werner syndrome (WS) is the canonical adult human progeroid ('premature aging') syndrome. Patients with this autosomal recessive Mendelian disorder display constitutional genomic instability and an elevated risk of important age-associated diseases including cancer. Remarkably few analyses of WS patient tissue and tumors have been performed to provide insight into WS disease pathogenesis or the...

We investigate the problem of WS-BPEL processes resiliency in RBAC-WS-BPEL, an authorization model for WS-BPEL that supports the specification of authorizations for the execution of WS-BPEL process activities by roles and users and authorization constraints, such as separation and binding of duty. The goal of resiliency is to guarantee that even if some users becomes unavailable during the exec...

The present study deals with the effects of allelochemicals present in leachate on the drought response of maize plants. Nicotiana plumbaginifolia was selected as a donor plant. 12-d-old maize (Zea mays L. cv. Uttam) seedlings with and without leachate were subjected to water stress (WS) by withholding water supply for 6 days. Leaf water status, photosynthetic pigments, protein content, proline...

this study was conducted to compare digestibility of wheat straw (ws) by fungi and whole rumen microorganisms (wrm). dry matter (dm), neutral and acid detergent fiber (ndf and adf) digestibility of ws were compared with in vitro digestion (ivd), gas production (gp) and specific rumen anaerobic fungi culture (srafc). dry matter, ndf and adf digestibility of ws by wrm of buffalo (60.80, 49.93 and...

All basophils, mucosal-type mast cells (MMC) and connective tissue-type mast cells (CTMC) are derived from the multipotential hematopoietic stem cell. Mutations at the c-kit locus resulted in deficiency of MMC and CTMC in both mice and rats. To investigate the role of the c-kit receptor tyrosine kinase for production of basophils, we used white spotting/white spotting (Ws/Ws) mutant rats that h...

In recent years, there has been an ever increasing acceptance of WS-BPEL as a standard language for orchestration of web services. However, there are still some well-known difficulties that make programming in WS-BPEL a tricky task. In this paper, we firstly point out major loose points of the WS-BPEL specification by means of many examples, some of which are also exploited to test and compare ...
