We present new estimates of emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) from rivers and estuaries, using the NEWS-DIN model. NEWS-DIN is a model of the global transport of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) by rivers to coastal waters (Dumont et al. forthcoming). It calculates DIN export rates as a function of watershed characteristics, including human influences. We used the calculated DIN export rates b...

Environmental cues transduced by an endocrine network converge on Caenorhabditis elegans nuclear receptor DAF-12 to mediate arrest at dauer diapause or continuous larval development. In adults, DAF-12 selects long-lived or short-lived modes. How these organismal choices are molecularly specified is unknown. Here we show that coregulator DIN-1 and DAF-12 physically and genetically interact to in...

Die Normen DIN EN 61508 und DIN EN 62304 beschreiben Sicherheitsanforderungen für die Entwicklung von Software im medizinischen Umfeld. Diese beinhalten u.a. Vorschriften zur Verifikation und Diagnose (Kapitel C5, DIN EN 61508-7 [Di09]), zur Beurteilung der funktionalen Sicherheit (Kapitel C6, DIN EN 61508-7 [Di09]), zur Implementierung und Verifikation von Software-Einheiten (Kapitel 5.5, DIN ...

BACKGROUND The General Practice Research Database (GPRD) and Doctor's Independent Network Database (DIN), are large electronic primary care databases compiled in the UK during the 1990s. They provide a valuable resource for epidemiological and health services research. GPRD (based on VAMP) presents notes as a series of discrete episodes, whereas DIN is based on a system (MEDITEL) that used a Pr...

Background: The General Practice Research Database (GPRD) and Doctor's Independent Network Database (DIN), are large electronic primary care databases compiled in the UK during the 1990s. They provide a valuable resource for epidemiological and health services research. GPRD (based on VAMP) presents notes as a series of discrete episodes, whereas DIN is based on a system (MEDITEL) that used a P...

In this study, we evaluated the sink and source of the surface water along the PRE using a mixing model method with salinity as tracer. The observational data showed that the decreasing of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) did not closely follow the physical mixing lines of freshwater and modified seawater. In the western part, DIN consumption by phytoplankton and bacteria uptake (ΔDIN)varied ...

Cuvinte cheie: alergie, proteine lapte vacă, toleranţa orală Rezumat: Alergia la proteinele din laptele de vacă este definită ca reacţia imunologică, mediată sau nemediată IgE, la proteinele din laptele de vacă. Afectează populaţia pediatrică în primii 2 ani de viaţă, după această vârstă instalându-se toleranţa la proteinele din laptele de vacă. Sistemul imun intestinal este răspunzator de iniţ...

OBJECTIVE The primary objective of the study was to investigate the feasibility, reliability, and validity of the Dutch digits in noise (DIN) test for measuring speech recognition in hearing aid and cochlear implant users and compare results to the standard sentences-in-noise (SIN) test. DESIGN The relation between speech reception thresholds for DIN test and SIN test was analysed to determin...

Input-output budgets for dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) are summarized for 24 small watersheds at 15 locations in the northeastern United States. The study watersheds are completely forested, free of recent physical disturbances, and span a geographical region bounded by West Virginia on the south and west, and Maine on the north and east. Total N budgets are not presented; however, fluxes ...

Clear-cutting is today the primary driver of largescale forest disturbance in boreal regions of Fennoscandia. Among the major environmental concerns of this practice for surface waters is the increased mobilization of nutrients, such as dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) into streams. But while DIN loading to first-order streams following forest harvest has been previously described, the downst...
