pollutions. Recently, both Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman are experiencing several types of pollution including oil spills and heavy metal pollutions as well as Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) caused by biological and environmental changes. Theiroccurrence of the red tide or harmful algal bloom during fall and winter 2008-2009 caused numerous unknown factors in the Strait of Hormuz, Persian Gulf and G...

Cdc2 kinase is inactivated when DNA damage occurs during the spindle assembly checkpoint. Here, we show that the level of mitotic Bloom syndrome protein phosphorylation reflects the level of cdc2 activity. A complete inactivation of cdc2 by either introduction of DNA double-strand breaks or roscovitine treatment prevents exit from mitosis. Thus, mitotic cdc2 inactivation plays a major role in t...

Mutations in BLM helicase cause Bloom syndrome, characterized by predisposition to all forms of cancer. We demonstrate that BLM, signal transducer 53BP1, and RAD51 interact during stalled replication. Interactions between the three proteins have functional consequences. Lack of 53BP1 decreases the cell survival and enhanced chromosomal aberration after replication arrest. 53BP1 exhibits both BL...

Bloom filters are used for resource routing and distance-weighted Bloom filters (dwBFs) are used as a concise representation of routing information for scattered resources in overlay networks. Today's DHT-based P2P lookups are always influenced by unnecessarily long routers in the underlay network. The reason is that the false positives appearing in DHT lookup can lead to incorrect direction. T...

In spring/summer 2015, a toxic bloom by the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia (PN) occurred along the west coast of the United States which led to closures of the harvest of razor clams and Dungeness crabs. Twice monthly observations of temperature, salinity, nutrients, chlorophyll and phytoplankton species composition allowed us to track oceanographic conditions preceding and during the development of t...

The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in the size of western Lake Erie cyanobacteria blooms, renewing concerns over phosphorus loading, a common driver of freshwater productivity. However, there is considerable uncertainty in the phosphorus load-bloom relationship, because of other biophysical factors that influence bloom size, and because the observed bloom size is not necessarily the t...
