Oryx - Sharing Conceptual Models on the Web

In this paper we present the architectural blueprint and a prototypical implementation of Oryx, a visual environment that facilitates zero-installation for creating, sharing, and documenting conceptual models.

Signavio-Oryx Academic Initiative

Since 2007 we have seen increasing interest in using the Oryx process modeling framework1 by academics. Many universities already use the platform in teaching to model, analyze, and simulate processes. While many courses focus on BPMN, also Petri nets and EPCs are used, all of which are supported by the system. The Signavio-Oryx Academic Initiative (SOAI) is a joint project of academic and indu...

Selective brain cooling in Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx): a physiological mechanism for coping with aridity?

Selective brain cooling is a thermoregulatory effector proposed to conserve body water and, as such, may help artiodactyls cope with aridity. We measured brain and carotid blood temperature, using implanted data loggers, in five Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx) in the desert of Saudi Arabia. On average, brain temperature was 0.24±0.05°C lower than carotid blood temperature for four oryx in April. S...
