The paper presents the tool HarmonICS designed for automated composition of medical services and implementing our approach to description and composition of web services. HarmonICS enables arranging sequences of services to satisfy a user’s request specified by a query. The query language is rich enough to express requirements on the timing and the ordering of services used.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the ability of high-resolution MRI to determine composition and microanatomy of atherosclerosis in mouse aortic root and brachiocephalic artery. METHODS AND RESULTS Aortic root and brachiocephalic arteries of apolipoprotein E knockout (apoE-/-) mice fed Western diet for 10, 20, or 30 weeks were imaged ex vivo (11.7 T; 3D multiecho sequence; resolution 47x47x62.5 micro...

The many surface reconstructions of (110)-oriented lanthanum--strontium manganite (La$_{0.8}$Sr$_{0.2}$MnO$_3$, LSMO) were followed as a function the oxygen chemical potential ($\mu_\text{O}$) and cation composition. Decreasing $\mu_\text{O}$ causes Mn to migrate across surface, enforcing phase separation into A-site-rich areas variety composition-related, structurally diverse B-site-rich recon...

Abderaz The composition of the essential oil obtained from the seeds of Ammi majus L. which collected from province of Khozestan in the southwest area of Iran.The oils was analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Twenty - eight components have been identified in the extract of A. majus L. with Toluene (3.766%), Thymol (12.811%), Carvacrol (37.811%) as major components, respecti...

background autologous platelet concentrate has been used to improve the function and regeneration of injured tissues. tendinopathies are common in clinical practice, although long-term treatment is required. on the basis of lead time, we compared the effect of using platelet-rich plasma (prp) and platelet-rich fibrin (prf) in repairing rat achilles tendon. methods the effectiveness of using prp...

background: the purpose of this study was to create biomaterial scaffolds like platelet-rich plasma (prp) and platelet-rich fibrin (prf) containing stromal cell-derived factor-1 (sdf1) as a chemokine to induce hyaline cartilage regeneration of rabbit knee in a full thickness defect. methods: we created a full thickness defect in the trochlear groove of thirty-six bilateral knees of eighteen mat...

This paper studies the e¤ects of service o¤shoring on the level and skill composition of domestic employment, using a rich data set of Italian …rms and propensity score matching techniques. The results show that service o¤shoring has no e¤ect on the level of employment but changes its composition in favor of high skilled workers.

We define a high-level model to mathematically capture the semantical meaning of abstract Virtual Providers (VP), their instantiation and their composition into rich mediator structures.

The composition of new eigth 9% Cr reduced activation ferritic/martensitioc steels (RAFMs) has been finely tuned in order to increase the amount fine MX precipitates and reduce coarse M23C6 carbides through application thermomechanical treatments. microstructural investigations by TEM/STEM EELS have shown M23C6, M2X (Cr2N), (Ta, V, Ti-rich) after tempering at 750 °C/2 h. Higher N contens (0.04–...
