SOAP is now commonly used as the main transport protocol in Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), but it is debatable whether SOAP can really meet the performance needs of e-Science. This paper presents an extended experimental evaluation of the performance of SOAP with Attachments(SwA)[1]. The performance of different SOAP variants: standard SOAP, SwA using MIME(Multipurpose Internet Mail Exte...

A vertical soap film is maintained by injection of a soap solution from the top. The film is then locally heated. Thermal plumes may be observed to rise in the film, depending on the magnitude of the heating and injected flows. The nearly two-dimensional nature of the system allows to visualize the motion of the plumes using an infrared camera. A model is proposed to describe the growth, emerge...

This article describes an in−depth follow−up to previous studies showing that an oil−methanol mixer prior to an RD reactor played an important role in enhancing the overall performance of the RD reactor system. An in−line static mixer was used for the purpose of providing initial mixing of the reactants, heating the mixture up to the desired operating temperature, and carrying out a substantial...

This paper describes the analysis of the narrative generation aspect of the Generator of Adaptive Dilemma-based Interactive Narratives (GADIN). This system automatically generates narratives that are focused around dilemmas to create dramatic tension. The dilemmas are based on those clichés encountered in many of today’s soap operas. A story planner creates sequences of actions that lead to dil...

This paper has two contributions: (1) we attempt to propose that a combination of RDF and OWL with SOAP is useful for building semantic Web services (SWS); (2) we show how to combine them technically. A SOAP Envelope comprises Header (control data) and Body (transaction data). They are defined in XML schema syntactically not semantically, resulting in inflexibility for Web services invocation. ...

Soap Lake is a small saline lake in central eastern Washington that is sharply stratified into two layers. In addition to being highly alkaline (~pH 10), Soap Lake also contains high concentrations of sulfide. Here, we report the community profile of the prokaryotic microbiota associated with Soap Lake surface water.

SOAP wurde als leichtgewichtiges Protokoll zum Austausch von strukturierten Informationen in einer verteilten Umgebung konzipiert und bildet so die Basis der ” Web Service“-Technologie. Zur Zeit bietet SOAP nur die Möglichkeit lokale Objekte, also innerhalb einer Nachricht zu referenzieren, nicht aber global über Nachrichtengrenzen hinweg. Dieses Paper beschreibt die globale Referenzierung von ...

The significance of calcium soap formation in the inhibition of calcium absorption has been studied in rats. 47Ca labelled soaps of fatty acids were introduced into the duodenum and the absorption of calcium measured after four hours in a whole body counter. The absorption of calcium was inversely correlated with the chain length of the fatty acid varying from 1% for Ca-stearate to 60% for Ca-h...

Tallow mainly consists of triglycerides, whose major constituents are derived from stearic, palmitic and oleic acids, its usage reduces production cost soap, adds lather stability hardness to soap. Laundry soaps were produced with variation on amount tallow (sourced cow, sheep goat) labelled as A, B, C, D E formulations. The respective tallows characterized in terms saponification value acid de...
