The 7th annual Global Handwashing Day will be observed October 15, 2014. This observance increases awareness and understanding of handwashing with soap as an effective and affordable way to prevent disease around the world. Handwashing with soap has an important role to play in child survival and health. Approximately 2.2 million children aged <5 years die each year from diarrheal diseases and ...

The Satellite Orbital Analysis Program (SOAP) is a widely recognized software and engineering analysis tool authored by Aerospace. Many users in multiple communities use SOAP. SOAP can be computationally demanding, and may require super-computing resources for timely execution. This is particularly critical when used in time-demanding operations, such as concurrent design iterations within the ...

It is known that the exchange of information between web applications is done by means of the SOAP protocol. Securing this protocol is obviously a vital issue for any computer network. However, when it comes to cloud computing systems, the sensitivity of this issue rises, as the clients of system, release their data to the cloud. XML signature is employed to secure SOAP messages. However, there...

The ongoing convergence of Grid computing and Web Services has motivated a number of research groups to study the use of SOAP-based Web Services for scientific computing. These studies have exposed various performance problems in using SOAP-based communication, and a number of suggested extensions to the SOAP standard and/or sophisticated implementation strategies have been proposed to eliminat...

OBJECTIVES We pretested interventions derived from different domains of behavior change theory to determine their effectiveness at increasing hand washing with soap in a natural setting. METHODS We installed wireless devices in highway service station restrooms to record entry and soap use. Two text-only messages for each of 7 psychological domains were compared for their effect on soap-use r...

SUMMARY We have developed a program SOAP for efficient gapped and ungapped alignment of short oligonucleotides onto reference sequences. The program is designed to handle the huge amounts of short reads generated by parallel sequencing using the new generation Illumina-Solexa sequencing technology. SOAP is compatible with numerous applications, including single-read or pair-end resequencing, sm...

Synchronized waving of grass blades in the presence of fluid flow has been observed in cases such as wheat field in wind, marine grass in tidal currents. The synchronous motion can have important environmental and ecological impact via mixing of fluid due to waving. We use a twodimensional analog of these phenomenon in a gravity driven soap film tunnel. Nylon filaments attached to the boundarie...

ly, and then bound to a concrete network protocol and message format. A client (program) connecting to a web service can read the WSDL to determine what functions are available on the server. Any special datatypes used are embedded Figure 1. SOAP message structure.
