Two experiments (4 X 4 Latin squares) were conducted, using four multiple-cannulated wethers (mean body weight, 65 kg), to determine effects of treating wheat straw (WS) with alkaline solutions (pH 11.5) of hydrogen peroxide (AHP; .26 g hydrogen peroxide/g WS) on site and extent of nutrient digestion in sheep. Diets contained either 33 to 37% (low WS) or 70 to 72% (high WS) AHP-treated (T) or n...

THIS special issue presents recent research results in a field of research that is itself rather new. When Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) came of age, no specific security technology for web services was available and transport protocols security mechanisms were used instead. For instance, web services message confidentiality was achieved using transport security protocols like SSL and HT...

withania somnifera (ws) possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. ws preparations have a potential therapeutic role in the central nervous system (cns) related disorders in animal models. in this study, the possible protective effect of acute aqueous ws root extract on behavioral despair was explored and compared with fluoxetine, an antidepressant with selective serotonin (5-ht) reu...

objective: opioid consumption has been widely increasing across the globe; however, it can cause adverse effects on the body. morphine, an opioid, can reduce sex hormones and fertility. withania somnifera (ws) is a traditional herb used to improve sexual activities. this study strives to investigate the effect of ws on sex hormones and gonadotropins in addicted male rats. materials and methods:...

F. Curbera M. J. Duftler R. Khalaf W. A. Nagy N. Mukhi S. Weerawarana Colombo is a lightweight platform for developing, deploying, and executing serviceoriented applications. It provides optimized, native runtime support for the serviceoriented-computing model, as opposed to the approach of layering service-oriented applications on a legacy runtime. This approach allows Colombo to provide high ...

The Ws mutant allele of rats represents a 12-base deletion at the tyrosine kinase domain of the c-kit gene. Although homozygous Ws/Ws rats were deficient in both connective tissue-type mast cells (CTMC) and mucosal-type mast cells (MMC), mast cells did develop when bone marrow cells of Ws/Ws rats were cultured in the presence of concanavalin A-stimulated spleen cell conditioned medium (ConA-SCM...

Current deadlock control approaches for WSPR (Weighted Systems of Simple Sequential Processes with Resources Requirement) suffer from incorrect liveness characterization based on the concept of deadly marked siphons (DMS). We discover that nonlive transitions may exist even though there are no DMS. That is, the net model may be weakly live or in livelock states under no DMS. It is live under a ...

wheat stubble (ws) and date palm leaf (dpl) were inoculated with pleurotus florida where in a completely randomized experiment, seven treatments including: 1)untreated ws (utws); 2) fungal treated ws at mycelial running stage (mtws); 3) fungal treated ws after first harvesting of mushroom (ftws1); 4) fungal treated ws after second harvesting of mushroom (ftws2); 5) untreated dpl (udpl); 6) fung...

This paper presents a generic Trust Negotiation framework for Web services, based on the WS-Trust standard. It allows users to create trust incrementally, by disclosing credentials step by step. This way, services and resources can be shared in an open environment, and access can be realized on the basis of peer-to-peer trust relationships. The paper also describes a practical implementation of...
