Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a key source of carbon and nutrients to microbial life in the oceans, but rapid biological utilization of labile DOM confounds its compositional characterization. In order to characterize potentially bioavailable DOM produced by phytoplankton, DOM from axenic cultures of Thalassiosira pseudonana cultivated in phosphorus (P) replete and low P conditions w...

There are only very few natural ways in which arbitrary functions can be combined. One composition operator is override: for arbitrary functions f and g, f > g is the function with domain dom( f) U dom(g) that behaves like f on dom( f) and like g on dom(g) \ dom( f ) . Another operator is update: f[g] has the same domain as f, behaves like f on dom( f) \ dom(g), and like g on dom( f) n dom(g). ...

(1) For all real numbers a, b such that max(a,b)≤ a holds max(a,b) = a. (2) For all real numbers a, b, c, d holds max(a+ c,b+d)≤ max(a,b)+max(c,d). (3) For all real numbers a, b, c, d, e, f such that a ≤ b + c and d ≤ e + f holds max(a,d) ≤ max(b,e)+max(c, f ). (4) For all finite sequences f , g holds domg ⊆ dom( f a g). (5) For all finite sequences f , g such that len f < i and i≤ len f + leng...

Providing efficient access to XML documents is crucial, as XML has become the most important technique to exchange data in WWW. DOM is a popular object-oriented user interface to manipulate XML documents. Several concurrency control protocols have been proposed for DOM by analyzing the read/write behaviors of DOM operations. However, none of them exploit the semantics of DOM operations for enha...

The aims of our study were to compare the dominant (DOM) and non-dominant (NDOM) shoulders of high-level volleyball athletes and identify possible associations of shoulder adaptations with spike speed (SS) and shoulder pathology. A total of 22 male volleyball players from two teams participating in the first division of the Cypriot championship underwent clinical shoulder tests and simple measu...

Analizom demografske slike Republike Hrvatske vidljivo je kako postotak ljudi treće životne dobi bilježi rast već dulji niz godina. Iz tog razloga teži se unaprjeđenju kvalitete života i stvaranju primjerenih uvjeta za cjeloživotno obrazovanje starije populacije općenito, a samim time boravak u domovima nemoćne. Domska pedagogija temelji na proučavanju domovima, što predmet ovoga rada. Dom kao ...

A mathematical model for the transport of hydrophobic organic contaminants in an aquifer under simplistic riverbank filtration conditions is developed. The model considers a situation where contaminants are present together with dissolved organic matter (DOM) and bacteria. The aquifer is conceptualized as a four-phase system: two mobile colloidal phases, an aqueous phase, and a stationary solid...

Pregnant ewes and their fetuses were instrumented between 110 to 120 days of gestation (term, 145 days) for monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, uterine artery blood flow, and fetal intra-abdominal umbilical artery blood flow and arterial blood gases. DOM (2,5-dimethoxy-4methyl-amphetamine) was administered intravenously to the ewe in doses of 1, 2.5, 5, 10, or 20 fig/kg. Maternal administrat...

Transformations of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in boreal lakes lead to large greenhouse gas emissions as well as substantial carbon storage in sediments. Using novel molecular characterization approaches and photochemical degradation experiments we studied how seasonal patterns in water column stratification affected the DOM in a Swedish lake under early spring and summer conditions. Dissolv...
