Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of the largest reservoirs of reduced carbon on Earth. In the dark ocean (>200 m), most of this carbon is refractory DOM. This refractory DOM, largely produced during microbial mineralization of organic matter, includes humic-like substances generated in situ and detectable by fluorescence spectroscopy. Here we show two ubiquitous humic-like fluoropho...

In this paper A, X are non empty sets, f is a partial function from [:X, X :] to R, and a is a real number. Let us note that there exists a real number which is non negative. We now state a number of propositions: (1) For every finite sequence p and for every natural number k such that k + 1 ∈ dom p and k / ∈ dom p holds k = 0. (2) Let p be a finite sequence and i, j be natural numbers. Suppose...

Test adequacy criteria are fundamental in software testing. Among them, code coverage criterion is widely used due to its simplicity and effectiveness. However, in dynamic web application testing, merely covering server-side script code is inadequate because it neglects client-side execution, which plays an important role in triggering client-server interactions to reach important execution sta...

Remineralization and transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by marine microbes shape the DOM composition and thus, have large impact on global carbon and nutrient cycling. However, information on bacterioplankton-DOM interactions on a molecular level is limited. We examined the variation of bacterial community composition (BCC) at Helgoland Roads (North Sea) in relation to variation o...

Browsing the DOM tree of an XML document is an act of following the links among the nodes of the DOM tree to find some desired nodes without any knowledge for search. When the structure of the XML document is not known to a user, browsing is the basic operation performed for referring the contents of the XML document. If the size of the XML document is very large, however, using a general-purpo...

Targeted genetic studies can facilitate phenotypic analyses and provide important insights into development and other complex processes. The SWI2/SNF2 DNA-dependent ATPase Domino (Dom) of Drosophila melanogaster, a component of the Tip60 acetyltransferase complex, has been associated with a wide spectrum of cellular processes at multiple developmental stages. These include hematopoiesis, cell p...

In today’s web applications, JavaScript code interacts with the Document Object Model (DOM) at runtime. This runtime interaction between JavaScript and the DOM is errorprone and challenging to test. In order to unit test a JavaScript function that has read/write DOM operations, a DOM instance has to be provided as a test fixture. This DOM fixture needs to be in the exact structure expected by t...

An H-system is a system of first-order linear homogeneous recurrence equations for a single unknown function T , with coefficients which are polynomials with complex coefficients. We consider solutions of H-systems which are of the form T : dom(T ) → C where either dom(T ) = Z, or dom(T ) = Z \ S and S is the set of integer singularities of the system. It is shown that any natural number is the...

We aimed to investigate the application of combined mechanistic pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) modeling and simulation in predicting the domperidone (DOM) triggered pseudo-electrocardiogram modification in the presence of a CYP3A inhibitor, ketoconazole (KETO), using in vitro-in vivo extrapolation. In vitro metabolic and inhibitory data were incorporated into physiologically base...

This paper firstly presents a novel constraint-handling technique , called dynamicobjective method (DOM), based on the search mechanism of the particles of particle swarm optimization (PSO). DOM converts the constrained optimization problem into a bi-objective optimization problem, and then enables each particle to dynamically adjust its objectives according to its current position in the searc...
