CbSSDF and OWL-S : A Scenario-Based Solution Analysis and Comparison
- 2011

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To tackle the semantic issues of web services, we proposed a comprehensive semantic service description framework – CbSSDF – and a two-step service discovery mechanism based on CbSSDF to help service users to easily locate their required services. In this chapter, we evaluate the framework by comparing it with OWL-S to examine how the proposed framework can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of service discovery and composition. The evaluation is done through analysing the different solutions proposed based on these two frameworks for achieving a series of tasks in a scenario.

- Traditional outcome measurement scales, such as the Medical Research Council (MRC) score, the Active Movement Scale (AMS), and Mallet score, are used by surgeons to assess outcomes in patients with obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP). The measurement scales used to evaluate patients fall under the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) domains of Body Function, Body Structure, Activity, Participation, and Environment and are used to assess function and disability of patients. Currently used outcome measures scales for OBPP are also contrasted with those used for another perinatal condition affecting the upper limb, cerebral palsy (CP).

- Sophisticated culturing conditions are required to grow cells in a three-dimensional (3D) environment. Cells then require a type of scaffold rich in proteins, growth factors, and signaling molecules that simulates their natural environment. Tissues from all species of animals have an organ-specific extracellular matrix (ECM) structure that plays a key role in cell proliferation and migration. Hence, the scaffold composition plays a significant role for any successful 3D cell culturing system. We developed a whole rat uterus ECM scaffold by the perfusion of detergents and ionic solutions through the vascular system of an isolated normal rat uterus in a process termed "decellularization." The generated rat uterus scaffolds consist of a cell-free ECM structure similar to that of the normal rat uterus, and are thus excellent platforms on to which new cells can be added. Rat uterus 3D cell culturing systems based on these scaffolds could become valuable to decidual differentiation- and embryo implantation studies, or for investigating invasion mechanisms of endometrial cancer cells. They could also be used for the creation of tissue engineered uterine tissue, for partial or whole organogenesis developed for transplantation applications to treat absolute uterine infertility. This is a condition affecting about 1 in 500 women, and is only treatable by a uterus transplantation. This article provides valuable troubleshooting notes and describes in detail how to generate rat uterus scaffolds, including the delicate surgery required to isolate the uterus with an intact vascular tree which facilitates vascular perfusion and re-transplantation.
