Dissolved organic matter (DOM) strongly affects water quality within boreal forest ecosystems. However, how the quality of DOM itself changes spatially is not well understood. In this study, to examine how the diversity of DOM molecules varies in water moving through a boreal forest, the number of DOM molecules in different water samples, i.e., rainwater, throughfall, soil water, groundwater, a...

Optical properties are easy-to-measure proxies for dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition, source, and reactivity. However, the molecular signature of DOM associated with such optical parameters remains poorly defined. The Florida coastal Everglades is a subtropical wetland with diverse vegetation (e.g., sawgrass prairies, mangrove forests, seagrass meadows) and DOM sources (e.g., terrestri...

The MCU subsystem of the IceCube DAQ is the source that provides the capability to ascribe to each "hit" detected by any of the ~5120 Digital Optical Modules (DOM a time-stamp common to the entire IceCube = InIce + IceTop array. This common timestamp shall be referred to as IceCube Time Calibration (ITC). The creation of the ITC requires a complex sequence of information capture at both DOM and...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important factor in aquatic ecosystems, which is involved in a large variety of biogeochemical and ecological processes, and recent literature suggests that it could be strongly affected by agriculture in different climates. Based on novel monitoring techniques, we investigated the interaction of climate and agriculture effects on DOM quantity and quality. T...

Although many drugs act by indirectly stimulating multiple receptors (e.g., reuptake inhibitors), relatively little is known about interactions between agonism at different receptors. This study compared the effect of serotonin (5-HT)(1A) receptor agonists with the discriminative stimulus effects of the 5-HT(2A) receptor agonist 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOM) in rats and ...

The disinfection by-product (DBP) reactivity (yield and speciation upon reaction with chlorine) of dissolved organic matter (DOM) isolated from two surface waters was investigated. The source waters, each having significantly different specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA254), molecular weight (MW) distribution and polarity, were fractionated using XAD-8 resin adsorption and ultrafiltration (U...

Extending the well-known results for smoothly bounded case, we show that subelliptic and pseudolocal estimates hold in the neighbourhood of a smooth strictly pseudoconvex (or finite type) boundary point of any pseudoconvex domain (i.e. possibly unbounded or with nonsmooth boundary). As an application, we also prove the corresponding generalization of Kerzman’s and Fefferman-Boutet de Monvel-Sjö...

Hyperspectral remote sensing is used in precision agriculture to remotely and quickly acquire crop phenotype information. This paper describes the generation of a digital orthophoto map (DOM) and radiometric calibration for images taken by a miniaturized snapshot hyperspectral camera mounted on a lightweight unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The snapshot camera is a relatively new type of hyperspe...

BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Domperidone (DOM) is a dopamine- receptor (D(2)) antagonist, widely used in the treatment of motion-sickness. The pharmacokinetic parameters of DOM make it a suitable candidate for development of Solid Lipid Nanoparticle (SLN) and Nanostructured Lipide Carrier (NLC). The purpose of the present investigation was to prepare and evaluate DOM loaded solid lip...

Measurements of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), UV–visible, fixed wavelength fluorescence, and synchronous fluorescence were performed in an effort to characterize spatial and temporal variability in concentration and source of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in surface waters of the southwest coast of Florida. Concentrations of DOC in the surface water ranged from 318 to 2043 AM and decreased f...
