The potential of Cooperia oncophora excretory/secretory (ES) proteins as antigens in a serological assay which aims to establish exposure levels in cattle was assessed. ES proteins were analyzed by one- and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. The N-terminal domains of two ES proteins were sequenced, and the corresponding cDNAs were cloned. Two cDNAs, designate...

Background Clot waveform analysis (CWA) based on activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) is a useful assay for hemostasis. However, the effects of activators and phospholipid conditions CWA have not been adequately investigated. Therefore, we characterized using four different APTT reagents.

Semantic web techniques based on ontologies are a possible means for modelling and validating complex, safety-critical products like airplanes or automobiles. For validation purposes, checks based on the Open World Assumption (OWA) as well as checks based on the Closed World Assumption (CWA) are both valuable. Based on a survey of existing semantic-based approaches, we present a novel approach ...

This study used the publication Storm Data to compile a climatology of flash floods reported in the Binghamton, NY (BGM) County Warning Area (CWA) of the National Weather Service (NWS). This work revealed diurnal and seasonal trends in flash flood frequency across the CWA. Also evident was a spatial disparity in the number of flash flood reports in different portions of the CWA. In some cases, ...

The need for porous materials to function as sorbents in order to allow for bulk uptake (and potential deactivation) of chemical warfare agent (CWA) stockpiles is of significant importance in the world today. Hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) represent a class of such sorbents being produced using the facile and tuneable so-called “knitting” procedure. Several HCPs are reported and their propert...

Data exchange deals with translating data structured in some source format into data structured in some target format, given a specification of the relationship between the source and the target and possibly constraints on the target, and answering queries over the target in a way that is semantically consistent with the information in the source. Theoretical foundations of data exchange have b...

There are several web architectures present in World Wide Web (WWW) such as Client-server web architecture (CWA), distributed web architecture (DWA) and serviceoriented architecture (SOA). DWA and SOA is the most popular distributed technology in whole WWW. The use of SOA or more specifically the web services technology is an important architecture decision. Marketing application also used only...

www.frontiersinecology.org © The Ecological Society of America T Clean Water Act (CWA) protects “navigable waters”, defined as “waters of the United States” (33 USC § 502[7]). Regulations by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) further define what are considered “waters of the US” (33 CFR § 328.3[a] and 40 CFR § 230.3[s]). Prior to 2001, any tribut...

The Any-World Assumption (AWA) has been introduced for normal logic programs as a generalization of the well-known notions of Closed World Assumption (CWA) and the Open World Assumption (OWA). The AWA allows any assignment (i.e., interpretation), over a truth space (bilattice), to be a default assumption and, thus, the CWA and OWA are just special cases. To answer queries, we provide a novel an...

Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA) is gaining momentum for analyzing complex socio-technical systems but it does not yet have the specific tools and techniques that allow it to address teamwork explicitly enough to provide good guidance on how to support teams. This paper focuses on expansion of control task analysis (ConTA), the second phase of CWA, to understand the collaborative decision making o...
