Understanding the quantity and quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in potential watershed sources is critical for explaining and quantifying the exports of DOM in stream runoff. Here, we examined the concentration and quality of DOM for ten watershed sources in a 12 ha forested catchment over a two-year period. DOM composition was evaluated for: throughfall, litter leachate, soil water (z...

Pharmaceutical compounds (PCs) and dissolved organic matter (DOM) are co-introduced into soils by irrigation with reclaimed wastewater. We targeted carbamazepine (CBZ) as a model compound to study the tertiary interactions between relatively polar PCs, DOM, and soil. Sorption-desorption behavior of CBZ was studied with bulk clay soil and the corresponding clay size fraction in the following sys...

and fuzzy rules as well as numerical methods was developed for multiobjective optimization of power distribution system operation. The development process and knowledge-acquisition process for the fuzzy knowledge-based system are described in detail. Fuzzy sets are defined for recent temperature trend, line section loading, transformer aging, voltage-level guidelines, and the degree of desirabi...

Pumpkin muffins are rich in fiber but have low expansion volume and high hardness. To date, research on pumpkin has only been conducted a laboratory scale. Therefore, pilot plant study is needed to optimize its production an industrial This work aimed determine the processing conditions that could produce optimum quality of Water addition baking time were chosen as optimization variables, color...

24 SWR1-type nucleosome remodeling factors replace histone H2A by variants to endow chromatin lo25 cally with specialized functionality. In Drosophila melanogaster a single H2A variant, H2A.V, com26 bines functions of mammalian H2A.Z and H2A.X in transcription regulation and DNA damage re27 sponse. A major role in H2A.V incorporation for the only SWR1-like enzyme in flies, Domino, is 28 assumed...

and Applied Analysis 3 called cofinite if the recession function f0 of f satisfies f0 y ∞, for all y / 0 see 15, page 116 . Then f is cofinite if and only if dom f∗ R by means of 15, Corollary 13.3.1 . The terminology “cofinite” is renewed as “coercive” in 16, 3.26 Theorem . Now we take a look at Atteia and Raı̈ssouli 11, Proposition 4.4 with a refined proof. Proposition 2.1 See Atteia and Raı̈ss...

The performance of a disc tube (DT) methodology, originally designed for reverse osmosis (RO) in desalination, and applied here for ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in a set of fresh (0 ppt), brackish (10 ppt) and saline (30 ppt) waters at low (1 2 mg/L), medium (5 6 mg/L) and high (10 12 mg/L) dissolved organic carbon (DOC) content is presented. Th...

The composition and photochemical transformations of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the northern North Pacific Ocean were investigated at the molecular level using ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry and geochemical tracers. Analyses included vertical profiles and experiments in which deep sea DOM was exposed to sunlight and incubated in the dark. The composition of the deep sea DOM was f...

an optimal desirability function method is proposed to optimize multiple responses in multiple production scenarios, simultaneously. in dynamic environments, changes in production requirements in each condition create different production scenarios. therefore, in multiple production scenarios like producing in several production lines with different technologies in a factory, various fitted res...
