The effectiveness of two kinds of dopamine antagonist (DA), metoclopramide (Met) and domperidone (Dom) combined with the gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue (D-Ala6, Des Gly10 ethylamide) GnRHa was assayed on the ovulation success, latency period, ovulation index (OI) and fertilization success of kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum (Kamenskii, 1901). Brood fish were injected intra-peritoneally as f...

Most of the isolates of Bordetella bronchiseptica obtained by this laboratory possessed a characteristic colonial morphology when grown on Bordet- Gengou agar (BGA) at 37 degrees C. The colonies appeared domed (Dom+) with a smooth colonial surface (Scs+) and a clear zone of hemolysis ( Hly +). From these Dom+ Scs+ Hly + BGA colony types arose flat (Dom-), smooth colonial surface (Scs+) and nonh...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a key component of fate and transport models for most metals, including mercury (Hg). Utilizing a suite of diverse DOM isolates, we demonstrated that DOM character, in addition to concentration, influences inorganic Hg (Hg(II)i) bioavailability to Hg-methylating bacteria. Using a model Hg-methylating bacterium, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ND132, we evaluated Hg...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is both a promoter and an inhibitor of triplet-induced organic contaminant oxidation. This dual role was systematically investigated through photochemical experiments with three types of DOM of terrestrial and aquatic origins that were preoxidized to varying extents by ozonation. The inhibitory effect of DOM was assessed by determining the 4-carboxybenzophenone ph...

The arsenic contamination of aquifers has been linked to the input of dissolved organic matter (DOM). In light of this suggestion, the aim of this study was to quantify chemical effects of DOM on desorption and redox transformations of arsenic bound to synthetic iron oxide and natural samples from different geochemical environments (soils, shallow aquifer, lake sediment). In batch experiments, ...

Terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM) undergoes significant changes during the estuarine transport from river mouths to the open sea. These include transformations and degradation by biological and chemical processes, but also the production of fresh organic matter. Since many of these processes occur simultaneously, properties of the DOM pool represent the net changes during the passage a...

The relationship between the bioavailability of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and its bulk chemical composition was examined on three dates at 10 sites on the Ogeechee River, a blackwater river in Georgia, Samples of riverine DOM were concentrated from filtered river water using reverse osmosis. In addition, particulate organic matter (POM), in the form of leaf litter, algae, and macrophytes, ...

In the presence of iron (Fe), dissolved organic matter (DOM) may bind considerable amounts of arsenic (As), through formation of Fe-bridged As-Fe-DOM complexes and surface complexation of As on DOM-stabilized Fe-colloids (collectively referred to as As-Fe-DOM complexation). However, direct (e.g., chromatographic and spectroscopic) evidence and fundamental kinetic and stability constants have be...

The following propositions are true: (1) Let n, m be natural numbers, a be a function from [: Segn, Segm :] into R, and p, q be finite sequences of elements of R. Suppose that (i) dom p = Seg n, (ii) for every natural number i such that i ∈ dom p there exists a finite sequence r of elements of R such that dom r = Segm and p(i) = ∑ r and for every natural number j such that j ∈ dom r holds r(j) ...

Let f be a partial function from C to C. The functor <(f) yielding a partial function from C to R is defined as follows: (Def. 1) dom f = dom<(f) and for every complex number z such that z ∈ dom<(f) holds ...
