An ongoing debate in ecology revolves around how species composition and ecosystem function are related. To address the mechanistic controls of this relationship, we manipulated the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) fed to aquatic bacteria to determine effects on both bacterial activity and community composition. Sites along terrestrial to aquatic flow paths were chosen to simulate ...

Not all spatial adjuncts behave alike. In some languages, certain display different marking or combinatorial possibilities than others. Recent functional-typological studies make two claims about this differential place phenomenon: (1) it is primarily motivated by noun semantics, opposing names and other nouns; (2) realized as a contrast between zero-marking overt of adjunct function. We evalua...

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...

The nature of computational principles of syntax remains to be elucidated. One promising approach to this problem would be to construct formal and abstract linguistic models that parametrically predict the activation modulations in the regions specialized for linguistic processes. In this article, we review recent advances in theoretical linguistics and functional neuroimaging in the following ...

The effects of many environmental stressors such as UV radiation are mediated by dissolved organic matter (DOM) properties. Therefore, determining the factors shaping spatial and temporal patterns is particularly essential in the most susceptible, low dissolved organic carbon (DOC) lakes. We analyzed spatiotemporal variations in dissolved organic carbon concentration and dissolved organic matte...

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...

We consider succinct, or highly space-efficient, representations of a (static) string consisting of n pairs of balanced parentheses, that support natural operations such as finding the matching parenthesis for a given parenthesis, or finding the pair of parentheses that most tightly enclose a given pair. This problem was considered by Jacobson, [Proc. 30th FOCS, 549–554, 1989] and Munro and Ram...

Previous work on object classification preferences shows that speakers of languages that lack morphological plural marking (like Yucatec and Japanese) display a tendency to match objects by common material, while speakers of languages with morphological plural marking (like English) display a tendency to match objects by common shape. The present paper compares categorisation preferences of Eng...

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...
