In unseren vorangegangenen Arbeiten haben wir die Schwächen der BPMN Geschäftsprozessmodellierung in dem von uns untersuchten Bereich des Precision Dairy Farmings (PDF) aufgezeigt. Dies betraf insbesondere die Darstellung und die Integration von Geschäftsregeln in der Prozessdefinition. Daher war der nächste Schritt die Standardisierung der Ausdrucksweise der Regeln.

Much of recent work on computer systems has focused on providing transparent resource-sharing in a distributed computing environment . Many of these systems use the server-client model to provide access to data an d services. As more distributed services are offered and the demand for sharing increases i n these environments, efficient management an d accessing schemes become crucial. Locating ...

Augmented breaths, or "sighs," commonly destabilize respiratory rhythm, precipitating apneas and variability in the depth and rate of breathing, which may then exacerbate sleep-disordered breathing in vulnerable individuals. We previously demonstrated that hypocapnia is a unique condition associated with a high prevalence of augmented breaths during exposure to hypoxia; the prevalence of augmen...

as you know, one of the new programs of the medical universities is to familiarize the students to the medical atmosphere with the help of compassionate and experienced university professors. the program is planned and implemented under the title of mentorship, in which an experienced instructor takes the responsibility of orientation, guidance and problem solving of a number of students. the s...

Microbiological studies of spent nuclear fuel pools at the Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant (Valencia, Spain) were initiated to determine the microbial populations in the pools' water. Biofilm formation at the nuclear power plant facilities and the potential use of those microbial populations in the bioremediation of radioactive water were also studied. Biofilm formation was analyzed by immersing ...

This study was designed to determine whether lung inflation stimulates or inhibits breathing in frogs by examining the effect of tonic lung inflation on the 'fictive' breathing pattern of decerebrate, unidirectionally ventilated bullfrogs. Neural discharge was monitored in the trigeminal nerve as an indication of the frequency and force of contraction of the buccal pump, and in the laryngeal br...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Abnormal respiratory rate (RR) is a key symptom of disease in the newborn. The aim of this study was to establish the reference range for RR during the first 24 hours of life in healthy infants born at term. METHODS Infants were included at the hospital postnatal ward when time permitted. During sleep or a defined quiet state, RR was counted at 2, 4, 8, 16, and 24 hou...
