Soil organic carbon has been the most important soil quality measurement factors and has intense relation with soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics. Organic matter and its components are important factors of soil aggregates constitution and stability and play significant role in its structure.So, this research has been done for achieving this purpose. This area is arounding sa...

This paper proposes a client architecture for the Push to Talk over Cellular (PoC) service based on the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) PoC specifications v1.0 release. We show that most standard VoIP modules can be reused for the PoC client, and the VoIP software can be easily extended to support PoC service. Then we present the detailed message flows between the PoC client and other network entiti...

Point of care (POC) testing in the Emergency Department (ED) is becoming more common. The implementation and maintenance of POC testing in the ED, however, is a complex issue. We performed a systematic review of the English language literature published between 1985 and June 2001 with a focus on POC testing and ED application. Articles that addressed the following were included in the review: i...

Size-fractionated particulate 234Th and particulate organic carbon (POC) fluxes were measured in the Gulf of Mexico during 2000 and 2001 in order to obtain a better estimation of upper ocean organic carbon export out of the euphotic zone within cold core and warm core rings, and to assess the relative merit of sediment trap and POC/234Th methods. In 2000, the flux of POC measured by sediment tr...

Push-to-talk over Cellular (PoC) provides walkie– talkie like service in the cellular telecommunications network [9]. In this service, several predefined PoC group members participate in one PoC session. Since the PoC session is half-duplex, only one group member speaks at a time, and the others listen. Therefore, a user must ask for the permission to speak by pressing the push-to-talk button. ...

Carbon cycling in inland waters has been identified as an important, but poorly constrained component of the global carbon cycle. In this study, we compile and analyze particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration data from 1145 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) gauge stations to investigate the spatial variability and environmental controls of POC concentration. We observe substantial spatial var...

Postconditioning (POC), a novel strategy of cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion injury, is clinically attractive because of its therapeutic application at the predictable onset of reperfusion. POC activates several intracellular kinase signaling pathways, including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt (RISK). The regulation of POC-induced survival kinase signaling, however, has no...

Studies of the urine-based point-of-contact cathodic circulating antigen test (POC-CCA) in Schistosoma mansoni-endemic settings in Africa indicate it has good sensitivity in detecting infections, but in areas of low prevalence, the POC-CCA can be positive for persons who are egg-negative by Kato-Katz stool assays. We examined the POC-CCA assay for: (a) batch-to-batch stability; (b) intra-reader...

We present a theoretical analysis of one-time key based phase scrambling for image matching using phase-only correlation (POC). Phase scrambling is used for visual information protection of templates. The effect of scrambling on POC values is analyzed. As a result, the peak value, which is used as a measure of signal congruence, of the POC between nonscrambled signals can be estimated by observ...

Sequestration of carbon by the marine biological pump depends on the processes that alter, remineralize, and preserve particulate organic carbon (POC) during transit to the deep ocean. Here, we present data collected from the Great Calcite Belt, a calcite-rich band across the Southern Ocean surface, to compare the transformation of POC in the euphotic and mesopelagic zones of the water column. ...
