[1] The concentrations and quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and their sources were studied for multiple storm events collected over a three‐year period (2008–10) in a forested headwater (12 ha) catchment in the mid‐Atlantic Piedmont region of the USA. DOM constituents were characterized using a suite of indices derived from ultraviolet absorbance and PARAFAC modeling of fluorescence ex...

The Kolyma River in northeast Siberia is among the six largest Arctic rivers and drains a region underlain by vast deposits of Holocene-aged peat and Pleistoceneaged loess known as yedoma, most of which is currently stored in ice-rich permafrost throughout the region. These peat and yedoma deposits are important sources of dissolved organic matter (DOM) to inland waters that in turn play a sign...

and Applied Analysis 3 The role of “compact operators” is replaced by that of “minimal one-sided ideals”. The proof of our results relies on the quasispatiality of the derivation and Banach algebra techniques. This paper is a continuation of 5 . Some definitions and notations can be found in 5 . 2. Preliminaries Throughout this paper, X is a complex Banach space, and X∗ is the topological dual ...

The impact of human activities on the concentrations and composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and particulate organic matter (POM) was investigated in the Walloon Region of the Meuse River basin (Belgium). Water samples were collected at different hydrological periods along a gradient of human disturbance (50 sampling sites ranging from 8.0 to 20,407 km) and during a 1.5 year monitorin...

The capacity of bacteria for degrading dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and remineralising ammonium is of importance for marine ecosystems, as nitrogen availability frequently limits productivity. Here, we assess the capacity of a widely distributed and metabolically versatile marine bacterium to degrade phytoplankton-derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen. To achieve this, we lyse...

Inactivation of bacteriophage MS2 by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and triplet excited state of dissolved organic matter ((3)DOM*) produced by irradiation of natural and synthetic sensitizers with simulated sunlight of wavelengths greater than 320 nm was investigated. Natural sensitizers included purified DOM isolates obtained from wastewater and river waters, and water samples collected from S...

An accurate, specific and precise UV spectrophotometric method was developed for the simultaneous determination of naproxen (NAP) and domperidone (DOM) in tablet dosage form. The optimum conditions for the analysis of the drug were established. The maximum wavelength (λmax) was found to be 271 nm for NAP and 287 nm for DOM. The linearity of the proposed method was found in the range of 10-35 μg...

The agricultural application of raw animal manure introduces large amounts of dissolved organic matter (DOM) into soil and would increase transport of heavy metals such as Cu which are widely present in animal manure. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the evolution of DOM from pig and cattle manures during composting through excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy ...

Production of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by marine phytoplankton supplies the majority of organic substrate consumed by heterotrophic bacterioplankton in the sea. This production and subsequent consumption converts a vast quantity of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus between organic and inorganic forms, directly impacting global cycles of these biologically important elements. Details regard...
