Understanding how the concentration and chemical quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) varies in soils is critical because DOM inXuences an array of biological, chemical, and physical processes. We used PARAFAC modeling of excitation–emission Xuorescence spectroscopy, speciWc UV absorbance (SUVA254) and biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOC) incubations to investigate the chemical qu...

The distributions of fluorescent components in dissolved organic matter (DOM) from Ise Bay, Japan, were determined by excitation emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy combined with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC). Three terrestrial humic-like, one marine humic-like, and three non–humic-like fluorescent components were identified by PARAFAC, and the environmental dynamics of individ...

Minerals constitute a primary ecosystem control on organic C decomposition in soils, and therefore on greenhouse gas fluxes to the atmosphere. Secondary minerals, in particular, Fe and Al (oxyhydr)oxides-collectively referred to as "oxides" hereafter-are prominent protectors of organic C against microbial decomposition through sorption and complexation reactions. However, the impacts of Mn oxid...

Sorption of dissolved organic matter (DOM) is considered to be a major process in the preservation of organic matter (OM) in marine sediments. Evidence for this hypothesis includes the close relationship between sediment surface area (SA) and organic carbon (OC) concentrations and the strongly reduced biological degradability after DOM has sorbed to mineral surfaces. The aim of this study was t...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t For a fixed positive integer k, a k-tuple total dominating set of a graph G = (V , E) is a subset T D k of V such that every vertex in V is adjacent to at least k vertices of T D k. In minimum k-tuple total dominating set problem (Min k-Tuple Total Dom Set), it is required to find a k-tuple total dominating set of minimum cardinality and Decide Min k-Tuple ...

The uptake and utilization of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by marine invertebrates is a field that has received significant attention over the past 100 years. Although it is well established that DOM is taken up by marine invertebrates, the extent to which it contributes to an animal's survival, growth, and reproduction (that is, the ecological benefits) remains largely unknown. Previous work...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) can affect the bioavailability of heavy metals in soil, especially in soils used for vegetable production, where intensive organic fertilization is applied. The present study examined the effects of DOM derived from commercial organic fertilizers (COF), cow manure (COM) and chicken manure (CHM), on uptake and translocation of lead (Pb) in Brassica chinensis in a p...

An iterative method is proposed to construct the Bregman projection of a point onto a countable intersection of closed convex sets in a reflexive Banach space. 1. Problem statement Let (X , ‖ · ‖) be a reflexive real Banach space with dual (X ∗, ‖ · ‖∗) and let f : X → ]−∞,+∞] be a lower semicontinuous (l.s.c.) convex function which is Gâteaux differentiable on int dom f 6= Ø and Legendre [1, D...

UV treatment is a cost-effective disinfection process for drinking water, but concerned to have negative effects on water quality in distribution system by changed DOM structure. In the study, the authors evaluated the effects of UV disinfection on the water quality in the distribution system by investigating structure of DOM, concentration of AOC, chlorine demand and DBP formation before and a...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) represents the largest organic matter pool in freshwater systems, but much of it remains molecularly uncharacterized. Although freshwater systems cover only a small area of the earth’s surface, inland waters are an important component of the global carbon cycle. The traditional idea that rivers are simply conduits for refractory carbon delivery to coastal areas is...
