LabFlow is a workflow management system designed for large scale biology research laboratories. It provides a workflow model in which objects flow from task to task under programmatic control. The model supports parallelism, meaning that an object can flow down several paths simultaneously, and sub-workflows which can be invoked subroutine-style from a task. The system allocates tasks to Unix p...

CONTEXT Virtual microscopy which is the diagnostic work with digitized microscopic images in tissue - based diagnosis is in its childhood in being implemented in routine diagnosis. Until today, only a few pathology institutions take use of this new technology, although it is available since several years. Why? DESIGN Virtual microscopy requires a new workflow organisation in the pathologist's...

Species distribution prediction modeling plays a key role in biodiversity research. We propose to publish both species distribution data and modeling components as Web services and composite them into modeling systems using the scientific workflow approach. We build a prototype system using Kepler scientific workflow system and demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach. This study is...

This case report describes the fabrication of monolithic all-ceramic restorations using zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) ceramics. The use of powder-free intraoral scanner, generative fabrication technology of the working model, and CAD/CAM of the restorations in the dental laboratory allows a completely digitized workflow. The newly introduced ZLS ceramics offer a unique combination ...

Chemical reactions that take place in a ball mill and the absence of bulk reaction solvent present different safety profiles to stirred solution reactions. Herein, we describe steps researcher may better ensure they have considered some hazards measures emerge minimize risk themselves their colleagues.

In the paper some considerations about dynamic measurement scenarios aspects are discussed. The Dynamic Measurement Scenarios are used for creating and managing job workflow in the Virtual Laboratory system. It facilitate defining and monitoring measurement process which quite often consists of many tasks connected between themselves.

BACKGROUND Point-of-care testing (POCT) can provide rapid test results, but its impact on patient care is not well documented. We investigated the ability of POCT to decrease inpatient and outpatient waiting times for cardiovascular procedures. METHODS We prospectively studied, over a 7-month period, 216 patients requiring diagnostic laboratory testing for coagulation (prothrombin time/activa...
