Computational science simulations produce huge volumes of data for scientific research organizations. Often, this is shared by centers distributed geographically storage and analysis. Data corruption in the end-to-end route transmission one major challenges distributing geographically. End-to-end integrity verification therefore critical transmitting such across effectively. Although several te...

The nutritional problems in almond orchards have increased because of alkaline soils and insufficient nutrition. This study was done to evaluate the effect of nano-chelate super plus ZFM (Zinc, Iron and Manganese) spraying on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of almond commercial cultivars. This work was carried out in factorial experiment base on randomized complete block design wit...

a r t i c l e i n f o Phytoplankton blooms, in their pivotal position in pelagic seasonal succession require precise classification criteria in order to evaluate such parameters as bloom start, bloom timing, bloom maximum and growth rates. Such bloom parameters are linked directly to species and bloom specific features. Currently the phytoplankton bloom concept, though intuitively clear, lacks ...

Bloom filters are a well known data-structure that supports approximate set membership queries that report no false negatives. Each element in the universe represented by the bloom filter is associated with k random bits in the structure. Traditional bloom filters, therefore, require k non-local memory operations to insert an element or perform a lookups. For very large bloom filters, these k l...

We postulate that microbial metabolism and production in cold waters are hmited by the ability of bacteria to transport and/or assimilate substrates at the low concentrations usually present. We measured rates of microbial activity in the water colunln and benthos in Conception Bay, Newfoundland and adjacent coastal waters, during 3 spring blooms. Chlorophyll abundance and distribution, photosy...

The dynamics of persistent organic pollutants in the oceans are not well constrained, in particular during a bloom formation and collapse. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and some pesticides were measured in air, water, and zooplankton tracking the North Atlantic Bloom in May 2008. Lower weight PCBs were entering the water column from the atmosphere during the main bloom period but reached equ...
